Sumner hsd the Aoor, delivering =
classical and studied speech in sp-
peal for the children oi the Flowery
Kingdom, which made quite an
impression upon the Senate. SO
soon As Sumner had taken his seat,
Mr.. Nye sprang to his feet, was rec
ognized by Mr.. Colfax, President Of
the Senate, and spoke as follows:
Mr.. President-I was born in the
good old county Of Steuben, New
York, and raised upon = farm. Ny
parents we're hard-working thrifty
people, fearing God and performing
their duties with a good conscience.
We had morning and evening pray
ers in which was always offered an
appeal to Almighty for the freedom
of the slave. My good mother, God
bless her, was a careful housewife,
and among other standard American
delicacies doug ghnuts were always
provided. We all liked doughnuts,
and think the American farm-boy
that don't like doughnuts is hardly
to be found. l often watched my
mother when she made the dough,
and kneaded and shortened it until
it was in ft condition. Mr.. Presi-
dent the result of my observations
was that she always took a small
piece of the dough and fried it in the
TAT before shelisked the whole batchl
She tried it first and awaited results.
/ have listened to the eloquent
speech of my Massachusetts friend
on the Chinese question. live on
the Pacific Coast and know the Chi
nese better practically than any one
can know them theoretically. They
have nothing in common with US.
They save their earnings, and then
return, pigtail and all, to the Flow
cry Kingdom. You cannot make a
citizen of man who will not sacri-
fee his pigtail. We have enfran-
chised the blacks; they are now free
and citizens, and | am, content. Then
turning to Mr.. Sumner he resumed:
Ny friend from Massachusetts has
made an exhaustive and able argu-
ment, but | suggest to him it is far
better and safer to follow my good
mothers example and fry a little
piece Of this suffrage dough before
we risk the whole Chinese batch.
The effect of this speech was marvel
Gus. Mr.. Sumner leaned back in his
chair, laughing until tears ran-down
his cheeks, the Senate and galleries
joining. His labored argument had
been demolished at one fell blow by
Nye's doughnut smile. Dough-
nuts and the sacred rights of citizen
ship prevailed. Sumner could neith-
er retort nor explain, and the conse-
quence was the bill failed through
the homely doughnut argument.

THE ELECTORAL TRIBUNAL.

TUESDAY, Feb. 27.-The commission met at
10 o'clock a. M, and the South Carolina case
was at once taken up. Mr.. Hurd stated that no
counsel would appear for the DIRECTORS to GER
tificate No. / Cthe Republican certificate), and
then submitted his reasons why the commission
should reject that certificate. When Mr.. Hurd
had finished, Mr.. Cochrane stated that Judge
Black and Mr. Blair would appear as counsel
for the DIRECTORS to certificate No. l. They
had been uncertain whether they could attend,
but were now present Mr.. Cochrane then
submitted certain proffers of proof, which
he proposed to make good. Mr.. Lawrence
followed in an argument for the Hayes OBJ
iectors. Seuator Christiancy waived his right
to be heard as an objector, and Mr.. Blair, for
the Democrats, addressed the court. He
said they would offer to prove that owing to
violence and intimidation and the presence of
United States troops on the day of election,
there was no full and fair election by the
people; that there was no registration of
voters in the State, which was a palpable vio-
lation of the constitution and that the
use of the military in the State was
alone sufficient ground for throwing
aside the vote of South Carolina. Judge Black
closed the argument on behalf of the Democrats,
and the commission went into secret session.
Mr.. Morton submitted the following:
That it is not competent for the two houses as
sembled for the purpose of counting the votes for
President and Vice President to inquire by evidence
whether State regularly represented in the two
houses of Congress, and recognized State of the
United States by the other departments of the Gov
eminent, has government republican in form.
ResOUed, That, while the existence of public dis
turbance and anarchy in any State to such extent

right to appoint electors of President and Vice Pres

A One Idea Court.

The Hon. Sidney Breese, the Hon.
John d. Cation and the Hon. 0. c..
Skinner formed many years ago the Su-
preme Court Of Illinois, and one day,
while talking together, discovered that
all three were natives Of Oneida county,
N. Y. They were discussing this curl
Gus coincidence when Mr.. Lincoln en-
tered the room, and they mentioned it
to him. Said Judge Cation: elm
coin, we have discovered the singular
fact that we three Judges are all natives
of the same State and the same county"
Mr.. Lincoln was feeling rather sore over
an adverse decision the court had made
a day or two previous in case of his,
and his final response was made in a
pleasant, sarcastic reference to that deci-
sion. "Ah p said Lincoln, sand what
State and county was that?" estate of
New York and Oneida county," respond
ed Judge Skinner. "Oh, WE'LL said
Lincoln, that accounts for it. I al
ways thought this was Ooeidea court. =

Extra Session of the Senate.

MONDAY, March 5.-The Senate was called to
order by Secretary Gorham, and DIR. Sunderland
then offered prayer. After prayer, the procama-
ton of the President calling the Senate into execu-
tive session read. Mr.. Hamlin offered reso-
luton which he said customarly offered on
such an occasion. The resolution provided
that Mr.. Howe should administer the
oath of Office to Mr. Ferry, who is
hereby elected President pro tenn. of the Senate.
Adopted unanimously. The oath was then admin
istered to Mr.. Ferry by Senator Howe. Mr.. Ferry
then took the chair and returned his sincere thanks
to the Senate for the honor conferred upon him,
and directed the Secretary to call the roll of newly
elected Senator's who as soon as their names were
called, took the oath. Four were sworn at time,
the first four being Messrs. Anthony, Blaine,
Messrs. Kirkwood, Grover of Oregon, Davis of
West Virginia, and Davis of Illinois. All re-
sponded but Grover, and Mcpherson of New
Jersey was called in his place The third list called
embraced Messrs. Plumb of Kansas, Rollins of
New Hampshire, Salisbury, Saunders of Nebraska,
Teller of Colorado, and Window. The fourth
list embraced Messrs. Coke Garland, Hill of
took the modified oath. Senator Kellogg was then
called and was about to take the oath when Mr..
Bogy objected. A resolution adopted that all
contested credentials be temporarily laid upon the
table. Mr.. Ferry announced two sets of creden-
tails from South Carolina. Mr.. Spencer objected
to the credentials of the Senators elect from Msss
sippi and Alabama, and they were laid on the table.
The oath of Office administered to Vice President
Wheeler. Mr. Wheeler made brief address, in
which he said he about to enter upon the duties
of his Office and that President of the Senate he
would endeavor to lift himself above partisanship
and to SO preside to facilitate and expedite the de-
alterations of the Senate. 8

ARCTIC EXPLORATION.

What has been Done and is to be Done to
Find a Northwest Passage.
/ The unfrelitful results of the Polar
expedition under command of Capt.
Mares, SO far from lettering others
from attempting the hazardous
attempt to reach the North pole,
seem to have had the effect of stimulat-
ing adventure in that direction. It is
said that the English Government will tit
out another expedition soon, probably
the coming summer. One or two other
European nations have recently indicat-
ed like intention. A private expedi-
ton has lately returned to New En-
gland port, having attained a very re-
mote latitude, and the explorers have
signifed their intention of returning
early in the present year, with more ex-
tensive feet and small colony of labor
ers, for the purpose of developing and
bringing to market the rare minerals which
they claim to have discovered. Rumoss
are current of private Polar expedition
soon to be fitted out by wealthy San
franciscan, who proposes to reach the
long-sought pole or perish in the attempt.
A measure is now, or soon to be, before
Congress, to secure an appropriation for
purposes of Arctic exploration, under di-
rection of officers of the United States
navy. Everywhere there are evidences
of more than usual interest in the sub
ject of the remote north-a somewhat
unexpected sequence Of Capt Mares
rather discouraging reports from that re-
gion. t.--...-... .-...... .....-
That an open Polar sea does actually
exist is the generally received opinion
Of scientific men. It is not only sus-
ceptible of theoretical demonstration, but
it is claimed to have been actually seen
by persons who have succeeded in reach
ng very high latitudes. The discover
es of Kane, Belcher, Inglefeld, Ander-
son and others point Enthusiastically to
the existence Of an open sea. In DR..
Kane's famous expedition, which sailed
from New York May 80, 1853, view of
this water was obtained from precipi-.
tous headland, in latitude 81 deg. %
min north, and longitude IS deg. IS
min. west. JIT .t a.; trty s..
The most northern point ever reached
by man, of which we have any record, is
80 deg. so min., or within about 430
miles of the geographical point known
as the North pole. This extreme lati-
tude was reached by Parry, an English
explorer, in 1927, who found there ice
foes, and an expanse of open water.
DR.. Kane's expedition, in 1853 4 reached
latitude 50 deg. 81 min. north, and
nearly the same. point was reached by
the recent expedition Of Capt. Mares.
The suferings Of these explorers, from
the intense cold, were of course great,
and, to be endured, required a hardy
physique, and the most resolute courage.

Potato Beetle Abroad.

All the Governments of Europe are
apparently wide-awake in regard to- the
possibility of the Colorado potato beetle
being introduced the coming season.
The Prussian Agricultural Minister, DR..
Prudential, had distributed already in
the beginning of 1875, more than 1900
show-bills, containing colored- illustra-
tions and exact descriptions Of the beetle,
to be posted up in the German ports.
Now the Prussian Minister has ordered
pamphlet, to be written in plain and
easily-comprehended language, which is
to be distributed in order that the people
shall be able to recognize the pest and
know how to destroy it.

Loss of Live Stock i'm Colorado.

Wool-growers in Southern Colorado
have suffered heavy losses during the
winter. The Trinidad Pioneer says !:
:" In herds belonging to men resident in
Las Animas county, the loss will not fall
far short OF 10000 Or $4,000 head of
sheep. We believe that not a single man
has escaped some loss, while large num-
Der have lost at least 500 each, and we
have heard of several whose losses each
will foot up over 1000. The loss in cat
tie has also been very great, but not so
much felt as the loss in sheep. The
cattle generally that have died consisted
of poor, scrubby stock, while the sheep
were Of the very best"
