senator HOwe's Speech.

The effort of Mr.. Howe, of Wisconsin, in
the Senate, on Monday, was of more conse-
quence as an event than as a speech. HIS
arraignment of the President, though eI-
ceedingly bitter, is not so formidable as Is
the fact that Senator of acknowledged
standing and of unquestioned Republicanism,
should deliberately attack the Administra-
ton in labored speech, and should be lis
tened to with approval by large number OF
Republicans on the floor of the Senate and
in the galleries. Some personal bitterness
was apparent in the speech, and the Presl-
dents friends do not omit to call attention to
the fact that Mr.. Howe was an sp-
plicant for the vacancy on the
Supreme Bench. which was filled by the
appointment of Gen. Harlan. of Ken
lucky. Whatever the motive, this arraign-
ment of the Administration must stand or
fall on its essential truth OF falsehood. Ii
contains little that is new and We can
see no particular good to be accomplished
by its utterance. 1t cannot be denied
that it expresses TO some extent the sentl-
ments OF large portion of the party. But
few, probably, carry their feeling of dissatis-
faction to the point Of desiring to make an
open break with the President. Senator
Howe cannot be called leader, in Congress

tempt will be made to reopen Corbin' 5 claims
to seat in the Senate from South Carolina
until after Senator Sharon takes his seat in
the Senate, which he is expected to do
within two weeks. Senator Conover is said
to have experienced change of heart, and
to be ready now to vote to unseat Butler.
If so, Corbin will get the seat.
The Senate rejected the nomination of ex-
Governor Parsons to be District Attorney for
the District of Alabama, in accordance with
the unanimous report Of the Committee on
the Judiciary, including Senators Davis,
Thurman and Christiancy. The reasons for
this, as stated by Senator Edmunds, were
his connection with certain cotton claims of
a crooked nature, and general unftness.
Senator Christiancy reported from the Com
mittee on the Judiciary bill for the repeal
Of the Bankrupt law. While lie had favored
the entire repeal, other members Of the com
mittee thought that there might be amend
ments that would be for the public good.
So the bill was reported without recommend

serious approximations are felt at Washing
ton, that nothing will be done by the pres

Electoral laws, and providing definite

that nothing would he accomplished in that
