TROUBLE BETWEEN i ORION M BLAINE
In the Senate Tuesday, Lamar Of Missis-
sippi was admitted and then the admis-
sion of Kellogg of Louisiana was discussed.
MI. Blaine said he had been in the Sen
ate just long enough to know how lmpor-
tant it was to have a record. He was glad
to see his friend from Ohio (Mr. Thurman)
coming over to the right, but he begged
his friend from Indiana, (Mr. Morton) not
to get wrong just at the moment his
friend from Ohio was getting right. He
(Mr. Blaine) thought Pinchback should
have been admitted, just as the Senate
from Mississippi should be admitted now.
Mr.. Morton said so far as his record was
concerned he proposed to take care of it.
The Senator from Maine would have quite
| enough to do to take care OF his Nv re-
cord. !Laughter.l
Blaine made d determined dash for the
leadership in the Senate and announced

SOUTH CAROLINA.
In his speech IN the Senate, Wednesday,
| Mr.. Blaine said he had asked yesterday
| who dared to make any arrangement COM
| promising the right OF Packard and Cham
berlain. To-day the answer came from
South Carolina. He then produced a tele-
gram from Chamberlain to Corbin. stating
that Haskell had arrived at Columbia with
authority from Evarts and Stanley Mat
thews to request him (Chamherlain) to re-
tire his claims for the good of the nation.
Chamberlain protested that he was not
acting for himself, and desired Corbin to
inquire and telegraph him tonight b.
whose authority Matthews and Evarts
made the suggestion. The telegram pro-
duced a sensation in the Senate, and Blaine
seized the opportunity to repeat the warn
ing of yesterday, and declared that Who
| ever might desert the brave and true white
men who had suffered oplressio" and per-
| secutior in the South he would stand W.
for their rights. He would not desert
them at the bidding Of Evarts or Mat
thews. or anybody else.
The galleries cheered Blaine several
times, aid appeared particularly pleased
With this last sentiment.
