Mr.. Edmunds then moved that the

stood 81 TO 81, COnover, In this in.
stance, voting with the republicans,
and the senate adjourned 10 Monday
on the vote OF the vice president,
Wheeler.
Mr.. Conkling In the senate, to-day
said, regarding his call for the ayes
and nays on Mr.. Hoar's motion to
table Mr.. Thurman's motion d.scharg-
ing the committee from the further
consideration of the South Carolina
case, his purpose in calling for the yeas
and nays on the motion to table was
to put il beyond the reach Of u call or
the power of withdrawal by any body.
He had no hesitation in avowlng his
reason for this. There had been, II not
rumors, whispers OF new and strong
alliances. IL was to be hoped they
were holy alliances. There had been
whispers OF alliances pending for some
time, which we're yesterday suspected
to have ripened into certainty, ALLAN.
ces relied upon to transfer the MAORI
ty from one side to the other side of
thesenate. He felt it his right TO as
certain by the earliest method who
were the allies, the reserve recruits, aud
what harmony there were. 1t seemed
that u motion to lay on the table, not
being debateable, would produce
very early revelation of the coalition,
| TO show how II was that the control OF
the senate was to pass away from the
majority as heretofore constituted, and
like the star of empire westward take
its ways. Here he looked towards the
west or democratic side OF the cham
Der, bearing on the question.

read the record with considerable care,
and | find that the chairman OF the
cammittee on privileges and elections
did attempt to persuade my hon orable
friend from Indiana, and others OF
that ilk, that 1t was ungracious, un-
just, unfair and UNI recedented. Let
me tell my honorable friend that he
and others should not undertake to
trip up the heels OF the committee OF
this body before they have an opportu-
nifty to investigate a matter that
it had been thought worthy of
investigating, and particularly by that
sort of ais it parliamentary to say
continuance, Mr.. President by that
sort of method, | believe that it is
parliamentary word, by that sort OF
method which In come conclave,
somewhere, adjust matters of this
Kind. Appealing to the judicial sense
OF this body in the dark, las a cam
paign in war time Is supposed to be
adjusted with spurs, and scouts, and
tactics, and kilograms, and ciphers,an
80 on, and then march into this arena
OF justice, as 1t Is 80 often called upon
such questions, aud with the troops all
drilled, and the guns all loaded,
they take the case that hap
pens to be more convenient, and In
order to make votes by the fastest
method, cut of consideration, and
thereby acquire strength enough to
prevent any other than similar dis
position OF any other like case. With
out any regard to the first case, they
say that the committee ought to be
discharged for them all. II that Is the
order of the senate, | submit to the
will Of the majority, and when we
have disposed of the first, shall be
very seriously inclined to relieve them
from the consideration Of the Corbin
aud Butler case.
Mr.. President, II anything of
that kind has occurred, as it is
notorious In the newspapers that it has,
then 1t does command itself, 1t APP
pears to me, largely 10 our considera
ton. But my friend from Indiana
now tells me that the chairman Of the
com mittee on privileges and elections
says that the kellogg case ought 10 be
Investigated; so 1t ought, but not less
40 than those that stand later on the
calendar of the senate, and ss pre-.
sume, on the calendr Of the committee,
aud that ought In all justice and truth
to be taken up In their order and
fairly considered aud disposed Of
But to introduce the tricks OF the
theatre, the shiftings OF the scenes,
the trap doors, and the ropes Ia the
dark corners, TO make solid body Of
men cut the knot 10 This way, 1t APP
pears to me, does not allow my friends
large chance to say that, the chair
man Of the committee on privileges
and elections thi3ks that we ought
not to discharge the COMMITTEES from
the consideration Of the Kellogg case.
When my friends and all bis associates
gay that we must discharge them from
the consideration Of case that they
