habits; there may be Cinnamon whose
dwellings are not kept in such sanitary
condition as would be desirable; but can
we taking all things into consideration,
say that the Chinese are worse than any
other nationality?
Ever since Hayes made that speech
about the Greeks, claiming that the
Southern soldiers had done nothing of
which they ought to be ashamed, and
that the Union soldiers had done nothing
for which they could claim any merit,
treason has been far above par in Wash
ington City. Near the close Of the ses-
sion Congress was about to grant pen
sion to Jeff Davis, and the Democratic
orators compared the head traitor to
Washington. Glorious old Zach. Chand-
Ter could stand it no longer. When he
took his seat he looked defiance at the
rebel crew, and they looked at each other;
attempt any answer.
Here is a verJatim report of Chandler's
speech:
Mr.. President-Twenty-tw years ago
to morrow, in the old hall of the Senate,
now occupied by the Supreme Court Of
the United States, 1, in company with
Jefferson Davis, stood up and swore be-
fore Almighty God that l would support
the Constitution of the United States.
Jefferson Davis came from the Cabinet of
Franklin Pierce into the Senate of the
United States, and took the oath with
me to be faithful to this Government
! During four years | sat in this body with
jefferson Davis and saw preparat ions
going on from day to day, for the over
in his heart and perjury upon his lips he
took an oath to sustain the Government
that he meant to overthrow. Sir, there
was method in that madness. He, in CO.
operation with other men from his sec
tion, and. in the Cabinet of Buchanan,
made careful preparation for the event
that was to follow. Your armies were
scattered all over this broad land where
they could not be used in an emergency.
Your fleets were scattered wherever the
winds blew and water was found to float
them, where they could not be used tc
put down rebellion. Your treasury was
depleted until your bonds, bearing six
per cent interest principal and interest
payable in coin, were sold for eighty
eight cents on the dollar for current ex
penses, and no buyers. Preparations
were carefully made. Your arms were
sold under an apparently innocent clause
in an army bill, providing that the Secre
tary of War might, at his discretion, sell
such arms as he deemed it for the inter
est of the Government to sell.
Sir, eighteen years ago last month l sal
in the halls and listened to Jefferson
Davis delivering his farewell address, in
forming US what our constitutional duties
to this Government were, and then he
left and entered into a rebellion to over
throw the Government that he had sworr
to support. / remained here, sir, during
the whole of that terrible rebellion.
saw our brave soldiers by thousands anc
hundreds of thousands-aye, l might say
millions, pass through to the theatre o
war, and l saw their shattered ranks re
turn. | saw steamboat after steamboat
and railroad train after railroad trair
arrive with manned and wounded.
was with my friend from Rhode 1slanc
(Burnside) when he commanded the
Army of the Potomac, and saw piles o
legs and arms that made humanity shud
der l saw widow and orphan in theil
homes, and heard the weeping and wall
ing of those who had lost their dearest
and their best.
Mr.. President, little thought at tina
time that l should live to hear in the
Senate of the United States eulogies upor
Jefferson Davis living-a living rebel eu
loglzed on the floor of the Senate of the
United States. Sir, am amazed to heal
it, and L can tell the gentlemen on the
other side that they little know the spir
it of the North when they come here al
this day and with bravado on their lips
utter eulogies upon a man whom every
man, woman and child in the North be
lieves to have been double-dyed traitor
to his country. Applause in the CALLER
les
The presiding officer (Mr. Mitchell in
the hair)-"Order must be preserved in
the galleries"
Mr.. Morgan-If the Senator or any
other man in the United States believed
that, why did they not proceed to try
him And ask who went on his bond
when he was released from prison?
Mr.. Chandler-The Democrtic candi
date for the Presidency, belive, went on
his bond.
