: he indorsed the action If Penn in over

: Senator Hsmilton-Why there wa
no State government to overthrow, aDC
: the honorable senator has go reported
! Laughter on the floor and applause IL
the galleries
Senator Sargent gave notice that IL
case OF further applause he would move
that the galleries be cleared.
Senator Logan said that so fsr rs hC
was concerned he did not mind the ap-
plause in the galleries. 1t was the same
be bad heard years ago, in the infancy
of the rebellion.
Senator Hamilton, Tesuming his argu.
meDt, said that as to the cause OF the
late war he would say nothing; but he
would say to the honorable senator from
Illinois ( Lopau1, that American free
dom was born in revolution and rebel
lion. aud that the sympathies Of the
American people were always with
those who rose agaiI st tyranny and op-
pre- sion. [Great applause and hisses in
the gallery Oh the right OF the chair ]
Senator Sargent moved that the gal
Ter es be cleared. Agreed to.
Senator CnnkIing appealed to the sem
st0r from California 5 'rsentl TO so
NJ ldify his motion as 10 aim at those
portions of tae galleries where the re-
peated disrespect had been shown. So
| Tar as those persons whom he heard by
their predecessors in 1850 81 were con-
cerned, he knew they We're practicing
their indignity upon the rights of the
-enate, aud ne had no objection to inter-
o ,se against turning them out Of the
gallery.
Senator TiptOn said he only wanted to
fnlsh the speech commenced by the
senator from New York. When he
T TConklingl inti mated that all this ap-
pIause came from persons who sympa-
thlsed with the gentleman from Mary
land, be Zip OF wished to remind him
that much OF lie applause yesterday
was from those who sympathIzrd with
fhe party to which the gentleman
G mkling] belonged.
Senator ConkliDg said yes; and time
after time when applause occurred, the
chair, that admonished the galleries to
be quiet few momSpts ago when his
friend behind bin Log4Dl made some
remarks, there WAS applause in the gal
Ieries, and il was then that the char
liIet admOnisht the galleries. To day
The applause had been before bestowed
upon the gentleman from Maryland,
but no admonltiOn was given then. 1t
d q not concern him [Conkling has he
nad not received any applause, out 1t
did concern the decency and order OF
the senate. The spectators should not
De allowed to applaud as If they were in
= theateT or circus.
Senator Howe suggested that the SEN
ator from California Sargent amend
his motion so as to increase the police
force iu the galleries, and whoever
should be found applauding should be
removed therefrOm.
San tor Sargent said it would be i'm
possible for the officers of the senate 10
RnOw who applauded and who did not.
rhe only way to evade this applause
was by clearing at least that portion OF
the gallery from which it came. Some
move to have the galleries cleared if the
applau snould be repeated. He now
uOdIfied his motion so as to have the
gallery occupied by the men on the right
of the chair cleared.
Senator Upton moved to amend, so
that only peIs ms violating the rules of
the senate should be punished
Senator Stevenson hops d the amend
nf EGnafnr fpinfnn SVnnlt ha QUFppn
to. This was an I'M ere. ting debate, and
he hOped an American senate would
not drive out from this chamber ladies
ana gentlemen who had a right TO be
here.
Senator Thurman said he desired to
second the suggestion of his friend from
Kentucky. Here were hundreds of |
American citizens in the galleries, con-
iucting themselves with prOtriety, |
While others We're violating the rules; |
let them be dealt with. He did not |
think it wise in the senate to heap upon |
these people epithets; to say the least it |
Was extremely severe. 1t would not do |;
TO charge any portion of the people in
terested in these debates with treason |
aud being traitors. Those who applaud- |
ed did very wrong, and none censured |
them more than himself He recOllect- !
ed since he held u seat ia this house, |
tn At when certain kuklux bill was be- |
fore The senate, more than one senator /
WnO advoca ed the bill was cheered. |
All these things were wrong; senators |
We're here to listen and not to applaud |
Let the sergeant-st-arms station enough |
men in the gallery to see who the Otf7nd- |
er a e, and if that failed, he would Vote |
fuT i clearing of the galleries also.
Senator Thurman submitted as SUBJ |
o for Senator Sargenps motion al |
rider that the sergeant arms be di |
ed to place ID the gallery q sufficient |
,olice force TO arrest any person who |
may dis uTb the proceedings by marks
II appreciation or didapprobatlon, and /
report such cases to the senate.
Senator Sargent said he had strong |
hopes that after the severe cOndemna-
ion which the applause had received |
rom senators on both sides of the |
:hamber it would not be repeated. 80
hoping, he would accept the substitute
Dt the senator from Onio ChurmaDl, |
gave n"tice that if tue applause
hOuld be renewed he would reUew his
,riginal motion to clear the galleries.
Senator Til to Fad he heartily con-
cured in the substitute submitted by |
he gentleman from Ohio T lurmar ! |
aud he had no hesitauCy III saying II |
the sergeant.at-arms could not preserve
order, the senate had the army Of the
United States which it could call in to
preserve . Lsughterl
The chair Ferry, Mich, said he
desired to verify the remarks Of the
senator from New York COnklin a.
10 the action of the present occupant of |
the chair. When the applause was first
given the senator from Maryland H am
IlCon was then speaking, but the chair
TOOK no notice of it, deeming it wise not
to notice it, as his action in suppressinG
It theu might have been construed a.
against a political opponent, 1t was
not until applau5e was given to the SEN
atOr from Illinois Logaul hat the ad-
wa. gwen TO the galleries.
Senator Bsyard said the chair might
have promptly arrested the applause
when it Was first given to the gentle
man from Maryland, aud he Ferry |
would have been sustained by every |
senator on the Democratic side Of the
chamber. The Democrats would not
Tor a mnment suspect him of wrong or
Injustice, as they had every evidence
Of his fairness, and would stand by
litn.
The substitute of Senator Thurman
was then adopted.
Senator Hamilton, resuming, spoke
Of the recent events in Louisiana, and
said thev were all part of conspiracy
10 keep Kellogg in office. He next read
from the dispatch of General Sheridan
i'm reference To declaring certain per-
