JUDGE DAVID DAVIS, of Illinois, has
co-operated with the Democrats in the
senate in regard to the Butler case.
Patterson, Of South Carolina, and Con.
over, Of Florida, voted iquarely with the
Democrats on the proposition to dis
charge the committee from the further
consideration Of Buffers case in order
to bring it before the senate. The Cour-
ierJournal's special Of yesterday, says:

was not to be bulldozed. He referred 10

May, declared his purpose to vote for
Buffers admission, and repealed the
charge that Butler had endeavored to
dictate his vote, He declared that But.

Immediately after the reading of the

Mr.. Thurman objected, aud read the

ticipGted in by Messrs. Edmunds, Thur

Finally the Vice President decided that
the subject was q question of highest
privilege, and could be considered in the
morning hour, Notwithstanding objec-
ton. Mr.. Thurman appealed from the
decision, and the yeas and nays being
called, the decision was sustained; yeas

The small Republican majority in the

course will only hasten their complete
downfall. Public sentiment has changed
