DEBATE.
Nr. Fisher, OF Pennsylvania, opened the
discussion to-day OF the silver bill. taking
strong grounds against it in an elaborate
.prech. and be was followed by Mr. Mills,
NJ Texas. 1t was evident that there were
MANY members ready with speeches on this
bill. In fact. the Clerk informed me he had
on his list already twenty-five names OF
members who de, ire to speak, and he expects
liberal acccssions to the list as the debate
progresses. This looks rs i! Il vote will not

THE LAID BILL N THE SENATE-sESATOR
MORGAN OPENS THE DEBATE IN AN ABLE
SPEECH. ..a.sr
The House Democratic caucus bill was
taken up IN the Senate to-day at the eNpira-
ton OF the morning hour, when Senator
Morgan commenced one OF the abest
speeches he haS.y yet delivered in the Senate,
and while the ladies gallery was not packed,
ls il was on Lord Roscoe's benetit-day, the
voters gallery was well filled, and remained
filed until a late hour. 1t could be seen
from the preparation in the way OF authori-
lies that the Alabama Senator was prepared
Tor lengthy effort, and those who were
aware of his power knew it would
be worthy OF the important occasion. He
boldly arraiGned the Administration for
an unwarranttG exercise Of the veto power,
and declared II the American people submit
to it tamely they have lost the independence
which the English people asserted and main
Tined over three hundred years ago. Quo
ting portion Of the veto message, he said
that it vas absoiutism and makes the Presi-
dent arbjter Of the deStinics Of the country.
In the issue thus made the Democrats, he
are on the side OF the Consti-
tuition, while the Republicans are opposed
10 il.
He REPLIES TO LORD RosCOE's SPEECH.
In replying at length to Conkling's ''ef.
OFT OF his life" lie read from Romeo and
InIict TO describe the touching aspect OF the
between the New York Sena-
or and Mr.. Hayes. Why, the veto message,
lie said, is but an echo OF the Senator's
peech; and TO understand tie former you
AYE to study the latter. He ridiculed
With fine effect the assertion that the
minority OF the people OF the United
States are traitors, and argued that the rrgu-
lar army dies every two years, and is only
revived by the appropriation made by Con-
s'ess Tor its support. II England the army
alcS once year. and the mutiny act has to
De passed once in every twelve months to
continue il.
Senator Morgan discussed the bill in its
constitutional aspects, quoting the law
bearing on il, and while doing this con-
'lAueu to answer the points made by Mr..
The law that prevails in this
country to-day is civil law, and he said who
ever removes it must do so by military
power. He complimentcd here the argu-
ntnt oi General Garfield in the MilIigan
case, Ia which he contended that martial
law could not supersede civil power in
iAul2na even during the war, because it
was not one OF the belligerant States.
'Ho said tie Supreme Court followed his
dSument in its decision. lie again had oc-
''S!on to pay bis respects to Lord Roscoe,
4oa said that according to his declaration
Tue New York people are the worst in the
ToFlq, not excepting the Fegee Islanders.
IN The strength OF this the President can
ay these people are SO lawless that they
sst be controlled by the array, and.ii be
"Se to send the whole army into New
i%E at the next election could the Senator
S'!ees, for he has said his people are ter
'''e set. II left to himself he did not be-
'e'e Mr.. Hayes would so use the army, but
s.aee he has been coGrced into his veto by
' WIG ssawarts, be said, he does not know
what to fear.
= TELLS INTERESTING TRUTHS IN REGARD TO
THE SOUTH.
