Congressional Notes.

On Wednesday, in the Senate, after the
presentation of sundry petitions in rela-
ton to the government of the District of
Columbia, Mr.. Thurman resumed the floor
and his speech on the Louisiana question.
1t is impossible for us, in these brief notes
of the Congressional proceedings, to do
justice to this most mastery and exhGus-
tive argument, which was listened to with
great attention by both the Senators and
a large audiepce. At the conclusion of it,
the Senate adjourned
In the House, Ben Butler proposed to
take up the Civil Rights bill. This was
the signal for fillibustering, as it is called,
On the part of the Democrats and the few
Liberals who vote with them, by dilatory
motions. Motions to adjourn and motions
to adjourn to a day certain, on which the
roll had to be called, were persisted in by
these latter from that time until Friday
morning without intermission. a period of
forty eight hours, when from sheer exhaus-
ton, the majority were Obliged to adjourn
until Saturday morning.
On Thursday. in the Senate, after provid-
ing for the payment of the interest on the
District 3.G5 bonds, Mr.. Conkling. of New
York, took the floor in defence of the
Louisiana usurpation. Mr.. Conkling is
tie particular friend of Gen. Grant. and
seeks to sustain him on all occasions He
is lawyer CT fair ability, and an orator of
great pretensions, rolling out his ponder
Gus, though polished sentences. with
degree of self-complacency which goes
tar to mar their force, and rather reminds
one of the almost forgotten nursery rhyme

Senate, and seems to be proud of the title.
as he dresses in the most foppish style, in
order to set off to most advantage his
otherwise fine person. Among other af-
tectations. he has trained one lock of his
exhuberJnt hair down over his forehead.
and this makes the Capital say. in speak
ing of him, that he reeallf the nursery
rhyme:

Mr.. Conkling. without concluding, gave
way for a motion to adjourn and resumed
again on Friday. After he concluded on
that day Gen. Gordon, of Georgia. took
the floor and made one of the most telling
speeches of the session. Gen. Gordon has
spoken once before during this discussion.
but then it was only to repel the aspersion
which had been cast by Mr.. Edmunds
and other Northern Senators on the peo-
pie of the South as class. On this occa-
sion he addressed himselfto the Louisiana
usurpation, and the papers all say that he
did infinite credit to himself and the
cause he advocated. This house to-day
adjourned its protracted session until Sat
urday morning.
In the House, on Saturday morning,
the Republicans wished to dispense with
the reading Of the journal. but the Demo
Gratis insisted upon having it done So
after proceeding for some time. and it be-
ing evident that it would consume the
whole day to go over the proceedings of
forty eight hours OF continuous session,
with sixty odd roll calls, the Republican
majority consented to adjourn until Mon
day.
In the Senate, on Monday, the Vice
President in the chair, after the presenta-
ton Of numerous memorials of no special
interest, Mr. West, of Louisiana, again
took the floor and delivered rehash of
all he had said before. After Mr.. West
finished, Mr. Morrill,, of Vermont, anoth-
er shining light of Radicalism, relieved
himself by repeating the oft told tale,
which, however, he had carefully reduced
to manuscript He concluded by saying.
as means Of restoring peace to the South,
he would point out to them the command
ment, Thou shall not kill We think
he had better seud copy of it to Sheri-
dan. as we doubt whether the latter ever
heard of it.
On the meeting of the House, Monday
morning, the contest was again renewed
between the Republican majority and the
Democratic minority. But this time Mr..
Speaker Blaine. who is perhaps the most
astute among the Republican leaders, and
who is also playing deep game for the
next Presidential nomination from that
party, came TO their aid So this morn
ing on a call of the States for bills for ref
erence Mr.. Hale, of Maine, the protege of
the Speaker, offered for reference to the
Committee on Rules. a new rule, looking
to the prevention of tillibustering. OBJ
lection was made by the Democrats that
the call of the States was for bills, and a
resolution to alter the rules could not prop
erly be entertained, but the Speaker over
ruled the objection and the resolution was

The Crop Prospects.

BY reference to our editorial page, it will
be seen that the crop prospects in the old
world are not the brightest, and that from
the present indications, there will be great
demand upon our own markets. By refer
en1e to crop reports from OCT own country
everything bids fair for an abundant weld
Putting the two ontinents together, the
chances that there will be continuance IN
the high price of farm products seem good.
1t this DC so, we may sincerely hope for a
dawning Of better times in our country.
ManitOwoc county is fully up to any of
her sister counties as far as crops are con-
cerned. The season this far has been a
most favorable one. The grain fields are
looking III better condition than ever before,
and we may safely predict that the farmers
Of our county will be better rewarded
for their labors this Year than for many
previous years. This is a good thing to
look ahead to. We of the city follow, to a
certain extent, the fortunes of the farmer.
When he is prosperous the city reiofces !:
If he have bad luck, the city is dull. Hence,
taking al things into consideration, we
have abundant reasons to rejoice.
