for recess or to adjourn, which were re.
jected.
AT 3:45 A. N. all the seats on the Repnb-
lican side OF the Chamber were vacant.
Mr.. Chaflee raised the point that quo.
rum was not 10 the Chamber, and call

ent, less than quorum.
During the call Mr.. Mitchell said he

Mr.. Whyte moved that the Sergeant.at-
Arms be directed to request the attend.
ance OF the absent Senators. So ordered.
Alter brief discussion the Vice Presi.
dent announced a motion TO adjourn, and
the vote resulled-yeas 4, nays 20.
No quorum voting, Mr.. Whyte inquired
il the Sergeant.at.Arms had executed the
order OF the Senate.
The Vice President reported shat he
had, but had no means TO compel attend
ance.
Mr.. Whyte called for the reading Of
the rule which provides that no Senator
shall be absent without leave OF the Sem
ate, aud gives the Sergeant.at-Arms
power to compel the attendance Of absent
Senators.
Mr.. Whyte-Does the sergeant.at-
Arms report that he has notified the ab.
sent Senators?
Vice President-He does.
Mr.. WalIace-Let him make his re-
port in writing. We want the names OF
tho Senator'S that the country aay know
them.
Mr.. Conkling here entered, and object.
ed 10 such report, rs nothing in the
rules authorized lesa than quorum to
direct the sergeant.at-Arms to prepare
list OF absentees-
The Vice President directed the call OF
the roll. and thirty.Seven Senators an.
swering, quorum was announced pres.
ent.
A debate of an hour followed upon
questions Of order and what disposition
should be made of the report OF the Ser
geant.at-Arms. Finally, upon motion OF
Mr.. Edmunds, all further proceedings
under the call were suspended.
At s o'clock Mr.. Wadleigh, who held
the floor when the fact was developed,
no quorum was presently resumed il,
and called for the continuation Of the
reading Of the testimony taken by com.
mittee OF the Senate in South Carolina
two years ago.
[ Mr.. Thurman objected TO the further
reading Of this testimony, and said ii
had been the usage Of the Senate to allow
q Senator TO read almost anything as
part Of his speech, but that usage had
never been abused until tonight, He
argued that the testimony could not be
read without leave Of the Senate and de.
manded that the question OF reading the
testimony be submitted to the Senate.
Mr.. Wadleigh said that it was not
gross abuse to lay before the Senate evi.
dence absolutely necessary 10 enable the
Senate to Judge OF this case. He wanted
10 let the country know that in this Sem
ate party sought to seat y man whose
record would not bear examining.
Mr.. Bayard held that the testimony
was taken, by the committee, long before
any one had any idea that the present
case would come before the Senate. For
all Just purposes OF this case the Senator
might "a we'll have read Worcester's die.
tionsry. When he (Bayard) frat came
into the Senate there were but nine Sena.
tors belonging to the party with which he
acted. They had never attempted dila.
tory motions, but had they acted 10 the
manner as he Witnessed Tonight, the ma.
jority would have put them down.
Mr.. Edmunds asked il the Senator re.
membered along about 1850, when Jefier'
son Davis, and Souls, and some others oc'
cnpied the Senate whole night having
messages Of the President read.
Mr.. Bayard said he didn't remember
that time, though 1t may have happened
Mr.. Thurman withdrew his point oi
order, leaving II to the Senator from New
Hampshire as to what testimony he
would have read. Mr.. Wadleigh had been
arguing the facts in the South Carolina
case, and said he could not help regard
ing this resolution as an attempt 10 carry
by force Of numbers that which could no,
be carried by an investigation.
AT 5:45 Mr.. Edmnnds moved recess
until II o'clock. Rejected, yeas %; S;nayE,26
Mr.. Wadleigh reAuming, said that he
had selected no testimony 10 be read
which did not bear directly upon the va
lidily OF the election in South Carolina.
At AIS Mr.. Edmnnds said II was now
daylight apd time for the Senators to
have little breakfast. He moved re-
cess until 10. Rejected, yeas II; nays 90
MIR. Paddock moved 10 adjourn. Re-
jected, yeas, 10; nays, 26.
He then moved that the Senate take a
recess until 0. Rejected, yeas l6; nays, %.
Mr.. Wadleigh continued TO read from
the volume OF testimony, and All o'clock,
by bis request, Mr.. Edmunds took the

Senator who had been on the floor since
