stop it. Excitable Cockrell of Missouri, an
ardent silver man, clapped his hands for joy
and let slip an explosive "Good!' The ques-
ton was
ON THE FINAL PASSAGE OF THE BILL OVER THE
VETO.
Senators and correspondents were all busy
checking on yea and nay lists. Booth, the
first doubtful man, was absent. Cameron,
of Wisconsin, the second doubtful one, voted
"Yea," and there was an involuntary express
sion of pleasure. Christiancy did not re-
spond. The call progressed steadily to Hill.
"Ayev' responded the Georgian, and 'sthat
settles it - burst from twenty pairs of lips,
Then Kellogg voted yes, and it became only
question of the size of the majority over
two thirds. Paddock, Window and Sauls-
bury stood up to fight like men, and
the grand total rolled up was 46 to 10, and
THE PRESIDENT WAS Exr1Nau1sHED.
There was o burst of applause as the re-
suit was announced. Christiancy and
Sharon were the only Senators absent un-
paired. There were three sets of pairs, one
nay being paired with two yeas, as it was a
wo-thirds vote. Anthony, nay, was paired
with Oglesby and Ransom, yea; Burnside
with Cameron of Wisconsin and Booth,
Cameron Withholding his vote, and Edwards
with Cameron Of Pennsylvania and Arm
strong. With the announcement of the
result, all interest in the Senate proceedings
ceased. The galleries were bare in five min
utes, and the Senators unmindful of the
timber debate, which was resumed-gather-
ed in the cloak-rooms to compare notes.
THE SCENE IN THE CLOAK ROOMS
after the slaughter of the veto was ami
mated. Silver man after silver man came in,
and all were beaming. "The best piece of
work that has been done in the Senate for
yeays!'' said Cockrell, rubbing his hands
gleefully. "Reminds me of old Andy John
son times" said Bailey, 'swhen a measure
fast in the morning, passed by both houses
veto, passed over the veto and made law
done,'' said Beck. Satisfactory muir
INJURED Voorhees,. 81 knew how it would
come out,'' said Allison, softly, his face
aglow with pleasure. And SO it went.
SATISFIED SENATORS.
It was noticeable that not single Senator
commented in any way on the character of
the veto message itself. ''Well, Senator,
you were right - said the Enquirer man to
Matthews. eyes, I thought was not mis-
taken," he replied; and then he beamed
knowingly. ssIf you will read my speech .
said Ben Hill, syou will see that I said
would vote for the amended bill, and ]
should have voted for it had been present
when the final vote was taken.'' Ben says
his people are with him, which is true, but
Ben has been in Georgia since the bill first
passe d, and he votes different now.
MIsERARrE LITTLE EATON
The only hard money man who seemed
distressed was Eaton. DWELL, Senator, wha
next?'' said the Enquirer man to him
"Greenbacks,'' he replied laconically. "Ane
then?'' "Infation.' 9And then?'' "Hell!'
i Not caring to follow the Connecticut Senate
that far, the Enquirer next caromed on Ker
nan. "We can live under any laws you can,
said he to Beck. ssAnd we are bound yo1
shall live under good laws retorted tn
4 Kentuckian. 'sWell, don't fancy this Law
is going to do any serious harm,'' adde,
Herman 81 fought it because think tn
principle is wrong, but I really think tn
country can absorb hundred millions Q
silver without any HARM"
, EnquSrer--Then you do not think thi
bill will drive all the gold out Of the country
Kernan-No, do not. Indeed, If this bi
! should prove bulwark to defend us fror
something else, it may prove a blessing i
disguise.
, Beck lay stretched upon sofa. He erie
out gleefully: ssMatthews has promised t
get me the first dollar coined, and I hay
! promised to give it to Bill Eaton to wes
!: around his neck.'' So the badinage flew
All seemed glad the fight was over.
THE FEELING OVER THE MESSAGE
is that it is weak State paper, is fallacior
in argument and advances no real objection
which have not heen exploded. ssJoh
= Sherman wrote it, is the remark made o
: every side. A Senator opposed to the bill
after the reading of the message, was hear,
6 to remark that he would have far preferre
3 that Hayes should have signed the bill rath,
0 than have sent such weak remonstran,
!, against the measure. It was generally e.
7 .pected that some of those opposed to the bi
in the Senate would at all events attempt |
u defend the objections set forth by the Pres
dent, but they fell upon the Senate as sue
: commonplace, threadbare arguments that /
! single Senator essayed to make defense f
= him. True, Edmunds, and Whyte of Mar
land, did, in feeble way, endeavor to ha
:. consideration of the bill postponed until Il
s. Presidents veto message could be printe
Even this customary respect was denied Il
j. paper, which caused Edmunds to inject i
3 mark that he did not think the precipita
q action Of the Senate was treating the Pre-
% dent with respect.
