"Let the Called Jade Vince"

speaks in the following manner:
" Hamburg Murderer Butler, who is
hanging around the corridors of the Uni
ted States Senate waiting admission as a
Senator, and who seems to think he has
claims upon Senator Patterson for his
vote, made a sorry exhibition of himself
on Saturday in one of the corridors of the
Senate Chamber. With gush of profan-
ity too gross and indecent for repetition
he bade Senator Patterson, with a vulgar
ity such as the slave-driver would use in
commanding his slave, to go into the Sem

whether he had ever offered any terms TO

he challenged such an Investigation
Make a motion to reconsider the vote on
Plnchback's case and he would vote to seat
him, because he believed that Pinchback
was legally elected. He had never bolted
the Republican ticket-never voted for a
Democrat in his life, and God let live new
er would. In reply to a charge that Cen
eral Butler the other day had ordered him
70 come IN mere ana vote upon motion
Mr.. PATTERSON said 1t was on a motion to
substitute the name of Kellogg for Butler
and the latter had said to him that was a
party question and advised him to vote
with his party. But he voted against the
motion against General Buffers remon.
