SENATE.
WAsHINGTON, July 2l.-The i'm
peachment trial was resumed, but on
The statement that Mr.. Carpenter and
| Manager Latham were sick, the senate,
as court, adjourned till Monday, and
continued &c discuss the river and bar.
Dor bill.
The bill removing the political diss-
bilities OF George w. Jackson, of West
Virginia, passed.
Consideration was resumed Of the bill
providing for the sale Of the Ossge ceded
lands in Kansas TO actual settlers, the
pending question being On the motion
of SenRtor Edmunds to strike out the
eighth section.
The morning hour having expired,
! Senator Eaton, who YVES entitled to tho
/ floor, said that he WAS glad the senate
adjourned Just after be took the floor on
Tuesday last, because after little re-
| Il sctiOn he was satisfied this floor was
40 plsce for political speech on the
river and hsrbor appropriation bill; but
! he had a word to say to the senator from
Ohio fisherman. That senator said
| there was no act OF the Democratic
| party within the last forty years which
| could be defended bsfOre the country.
| All this was said in the face of the fact
| that Tor sixty years the history of the
| United States WAS history of the Demo.
cratic party. Under Democratic rule
| the country had increased from four
hundred thousand to forty million peo-
! pie. Old Ecgland had beer hUmbled on
the lakes aud the seas by Democratic
men. He Eston1 would say, "Out upon
all such trash! 1t was childish and ab-
surd, and ought not to be head on
this floor" He promised hereafter
ia more than one part Of this broad land
to discuss this question, but not here in
the senate. Again, the honorable sem
! atoT Mr.. ShermaD] had ventured to
couple the honored name Of Samuel J.
Tllden with that of VIM. n. Tweed.
There was no defense for that, here or
anywhere else. Benedict Arnold was
once a trusted officer and associate of
George Wishing on, the "Father of his
County," One Judas Iscariot was at
one time called an apostle. IL would
not do for any man on this floor, or any
where else to couple The name of Sam
uel J. Tlden with VIM. M. Tweed or
any other malefsctOr, except IS his
prosecutor. He [Senator Est0nl made
no charge against any Republican,
neither did he wish to defend the Dem.
ocratic party TOW. He would do that
hereafter and e'seWhs
Senator Sherman said the senator
from Connecticut had, by strsining the
language which he uttered in the heat
Of debate, made new issue. He then
read from his remarks Of Wednesday
last, and said that what he meant to say
was, that no position of the Democratic
par v, since 1916, could be defended be-
fore the country, and on that question
he would be glad to meet his friend
from Connecticut on the stump. He
next referred to his remarks in regard to
Tt den, and said he did not mean to say
that he was a man OF the same chaTac-
ter rs Tweed, but it was well known
that Tilden was the political, and to
some extent, personal associate OF
Tweed, He Sherman had letters and
kilograms, forwarded by his friend from
Rhode Island [AnthODy1 to show this
TACT. He felt bCu. to say that when
TildeD did participate ia the efforts In
New York to put down fraud Gt was af-
ter long delay, though, when he did
commerce work, Ia ola 20 with v1gor.
TndeR did decline at fir t to become
member OF the committee OF seventy. In
sII the reform FOR which Tildeu was dis
tinguished be was aided throughout by
the ReI ublican party in New York, az d
opposed by a strong element Of the
Democratic party. 1t wss only by the
aid of reiormers that he got the title OF
the "GEeat RefJrmer."
Senator f atom said that he would not
be drawn into a political diecussiOnI but
when the senator from Ohio said that
Tildan was the associate of Tweed. he
TE-t1n7 might as well say that the Pres
iden5 OF the United states was the aeso-
ciate Of M'D1nald. The senator from
Ohio had challenged the senators on the
Democratic side TO name one Republic
can who had been detected in fraud, he
I E ston1 did not propose TO name one
now OUT of thousand.
Senator Herman said that he did not
wish to discuss politics on the bill, but
as Tildtn lived in the State of New
York, he desired to say that when the
frauds in that State were frat discover
ed, Tilden then consulted with Govern
or Seymour and other prominent gen.
tIemen OF the State, and they took the
stand that the people committing these
f.auds must be turned out of the Demo-
cratic party; Tilden openly denounced
Tweed and all his associates, and he
TKe7naD1 thought ne could appeal to
the New York Times, and other papers
incur, and other men OF character in
the Democratic party, came to the front
to put down frauds. Senator Howe said
there might be several arguments as to
when the Democratic party ceased to do
good. but there was one point upon
which all senators could sgree, aud that
was that this river and habor bill should
| not be rec0mmitted to the committee.
! daughter
The senate returned to the question
properly before 1.-THE rscommitment Of
the river and barber bill; pending the
discussion Of which it went into execu-
| tive session and soon adjourned.
HOUSE.
A number of private bills were re-
! ported and scted upon, when the house
| went into committee OF the whole on
| the private calendar, the first bill being
/ one comforting certain land claims in
/ the State Of Missouri. After discus sion
the enactiDg clause wss stricken out
! and the bill was 50 reported to the house,
! which confirmed the action of the COM
| mittee, and so the bill wss defeated.
The mouse adjourned till Monday.
