Zach Chandler on Jefferson Davis.

Senator Chandler Of Michigan signalized
hi Q return TO the Senate by the following ring
ing and stalwart speech upon JEFF Davis, the
other day. He said:
Mr.. President Twenty years ago !, in COM
pany with Jefferson Davis, stood up in this
chamber, and, with him, swore by Almighty
God that would support the Constitution OF
the United States. Mr.. Jefferson Davis came
direct from the Cabinet of Franklin Pierce
into the Senate of the United States and took
the oath with me to be faithful to this gov
eminent. During the four years sat in this
body with Jefferson Davis and saw the prepar-
atoms going on from day to day for the over
throw Of this government. With treason in
his heart and perjury upon his lips he took
the oath to sustain the government that he
meant to overthrow. Sir, there was "method
in his madness" He in cooperation with
other men from his section and in the Cab
met of Mr.. Buchanan, made careful prepa-
rations for the event that was to follow.
Your fleets were scattered wherever the
winds blew and water was found to float
them, where they could not be used to put
down q rebellion; your armies were scattered
all over this broad lard, where they could not
be used in an emergency; your treasury was
depleted until your bonds, bearing 6 per cent.
coin, were sold for S8 cents on the dollar TO
paw current expenses and no buyers. Prep
araiions were carefully made; your arms
were sold under an apparently innocent de-
vice in an army bill. providing that the Secre-
tary of War might in his discretion sell such
arms rs he deemed best for the interest Of
the government. Sir, eighteen years ago
last month sat in this hall and listened to
Jefferson Davis delivering his farewell ad-
dress, informing us what our constitutional
duties to this government were. And then he
left and entered into rebellion to overthrow
the government he had sworn to support.
remained here, sir, during the whole Of that
terrible rebellion; saw our brave soldiers by
thousands-I might almost say millions-as
they passed through here to the theatre Of
war; / saw their shattered ranks returning;
I saw steamboat after steamboat and railroad
train after railroad train bringing back the
wounded; was with my friend from Rhode
Island TBurnside] when he commanded the
army of the Potomac, and saw piles Of legs
and arms that made humanity shudder. i
saw widows and orphans made by this war,
and heard them wall and mourn over the
death of their dearest and best. Mr.. Presi-
dent, | little thought at that time that !
should live to hear in the senate of the Uni
ted States eulogies upon Jefferson Davis liv-
ing, "A living rebel, on the floor Of the senate
Of the United States. Sir, ! am amazed to
hear it, and can tell the gentlemen on the
other side that they little know the spirit Of
the North when they come here at this day
with bravado on their lips, uttering eulogies
upon him whom every man, woman and child
in the North believes to have been . double
dyed traitor.

HOUSE.
WEDNESDAY, Mar. 5

"WEDNESDAY, Mar. 8.
The Speaker called to order at quarter to
10 o'clock, A. NJ.
No Chaplain present.
The resolve on pay roll of the House was
finally passed [This provides mileage both
ways, according to the constitution. the
same as first passed by the House, and which
received the Governors veto.
Mr.. SrAULDIsc of Richmond, presented
the following order:
Ordered, The Senate concurring, that the
Treasurer of State be authorized and directed
to pay to each officer and member of this
Legislature, whose names appear in the ac-
companying rolls the sum due each, as sal
airy and travel, under the laws Of this State.
Mr.. YOUNG Of Brunswick, thought the or
der would meet the present position of affairs
admirably. The mileage could be left until
the proper authorities decide what is due.
Mr.. WALLACE Of Belfast, said there had
been . discussion on the mileage question
early in the session, and the present attitude
Of the Senate and House tow ards the Execu-
tive was 4 disgrace, and an attempt to get
double mileage in Q roundabout way.
Mr.. WILSON said he had gone for the lesser
mileage every time, and had voted to sustain
the veto message Of the Governor. But he
recognized the fact that both the Senate and
House had decided in favor of the large mile
age, and how could they present their case
properly before the Governor without the pas
sage Of the resolve? He saw not the least
objection.
Mr.. SPAULDISG Of Richmond said he de-
sired to be placed right on this qne.tion of
travel. When the bill from the Civil Service
committee was before the House, fixing the
pay for travel At ten cents mile for actual
travel, the measure failed, being voted
down by a large majority. The only question
before as therefore, At the close was to make
up pay roll in accordance with the existing
law, and that, in my opinion, gave two dol.
lars for every ten miles travel, and for that
reason / was in favor Of the pay roll resolve,
the objections Of the Governor to the con-
trsry Notwithstanding. Now we find ma

Adjournment of the Legislature.

Adjournment of the Legislature.
The Legislature adjourned yesterday in
earnest and finally. going home in anything
but happy mood. They expected to
close last Saturday. but were obliged
to continue their session into this week to
await the Governors veto of the double
mileage ESQ called) which they had voted
themselves. Tuesday morning the veto
was sent to the legislature. The legisla-
ture accepted the situation and prepared
another bill which they hoped would re-
ceive the Governors sanction, but this on
Wednesday was met with another veto.
This veto was laid on the table in
both branches, and without farther action
in regard to it the Legislature made final
adjournment, the members drawing their
salary but leaving their mileage in the
treasury subject to the decision of the
supreme Court as to whist they are entitled
to under the laws and the constitution.
TWAS strange but not Inappropriate
ending of one of the most extraordinary
legislative bodies ever witnessed in the
State. The great jack-knife struggle, the
fierce contest over the third box of station

the Governor for double mileage for them

tax as high as ever-will these things not
