The Caldwell Case


The Caldwell Case
was resumed to-day in the Senate. The debate
was opened by Hamilton, from Maryland, who de-
MED the legality OF Morton's resolution, but
favored the expulsion OF Caldwell. He improved
the opportunity by quotations irsm the history OF
ancient Rome, in which lie found parallel case to
that of Cakes Ames. After him Conklng drew
forth HIS thunderbots OF Jaw and rhetoric ana
blazed away with undated glow for two hours
longer in defence OF the Kansas corruptlonist.
Tilt Between COnkling and Schurz'
After COnkng had talked about two hours To-
day, in continuation of his three hours speech OF
yesterday, he imagined that none was listening TO
him except the presiding officer, and so rehashed
story OF Brother Haran's that Schurz would not
speak in the last campaign unless he was guaran-
teed $500 per night 1t so happened, however, that
Schurz heard him and at once sailed in, bringing
| on yard arm contest In which the word ''ar'
| was freely used in plain Anglo-Saxon. Hon. Conk-
| ling finding that he getting the worst OF it,
| said that he did not intend to allude to SchurZ
and Schurz giving parting rap or two desisted
Conkling will hardly ever 90 out Of his way again
| to attack Schurz.
