ADJOURNMENT.
Senator Eaton, from the committee on APP
preparations, reported favorably the House
joint resolution to adjourn sine die at P. NJ to-
day.
Senator Window objected to present con-
sderation and the resolution goes over until
tomorrow. Senator Window stated that he
regretted to be obliged to object but as it was
in his power to prevent the majority from adj
journing to-day without passing the appropria-
ton bills FOR which Congress was convened, he
thought it his duty to give them the right to
think over their resolution and come to a bet
ter one
CHANDELIERS BLOW.
Senator Chandler then arraigned the Demo-
cratic party in its course the present session.
He said: We have now been three months
and half in this capitol, not without certain
results. We have shown to the people of this
nation just what the Democratic party MEANS
The people have been informed as to your
par1y's ends and aims BY fraud and violence,
by shot guns and tissue ballots you hold the
present majority in both houses of Congress-
and you have taken an early opportunity to
show what you intend to do with that majority
thus obtained. You are within sight of the
promised land, but, like Moses, of old we pro-
pose to send you up into the mountains to die
Great laughter.
Mr. resident, VIC arc approaching the end
Of this extra session, and its record will soon
become history. The acts of the Democratic
party, as manifested in this Congress- Justify
II n ARA IN n.fn tbo l,,,
the United States in the political issues which
1t has presented as the enemy of the nation,
and as the author and abettor of rebellion.
Senator Chandler proceeded to arraign the
Democratic party as foll,ws:
First, Tor having resorted to revolutionary
means to carry ont their partisan projects. by
attempting to coerce the executive by with
holding supplies and thus accom- plishlng by
starvation the destruction of the government
which they had failed to overthrow by armies.
Second, for having IN ured the business in
terosts of the country by forcing the present
extra session, after liberal compromises were
rendered TO them prior to the close of last ses-
sion.
Third-For having attempted to throw away
the results of the recent war by again elevating
State over national sovereignty. We sacrificed
more than 3O0, 90 lives and expended five thou-
sand million of dollars to put down this
heresy and to perpetuate the national life.
They surrendered their armies at Appomatox
but now they attempt to rcn2w this pretensiol /.
Fourth-For having attempted (there are
honorable exceptions and long may they be
renembered) to damage the business interests
of the country by forcing silver coin into cir
culatlon of less value than it represents, thus
sWIndllnS the laburing man and producer by
compelling him to accept eighty-fve cents for
dollar and thns enrich bullion owners at the
expense OF labor. Twelve hundred million
dollars are paid yearly to labor alone in this
country, and by forcing S5-cent dollars on the
working men you swlndle them out of one
hundred millions yearly.
Fitth-For having removed without cause ex-
perlenced officers and employees of this body,
some of whom served and were wounded in
the union army, and with appointing men who
had in the rebel army attempted to destroy
the government.
Sixth--For having instituted in secret and
Legitimate tribunal edicts which have been
made the supreme governing power of Con-
gress, IN defiance of the fundamental princi-
pies of the constitution. The DEGREES of this
junta are known although it's motives are hid
den.
Seventh-For having held up for public adj
miration that arch-rebel, Jefferson Davis,
great laughter the Democratic side) declar-
ing he was inspired by motives as sacred and
as noble al animated Washington, as having
rendered services in attempting to destroy the
union which would equal in history Grecian
fame and Roman glory. (Laughter.) You
may laugh; the people of the North will make
you laugh from the other side Of your faces.
(Renewed laughter.)
Eghth-For having undertaken to blot from
the statute book wise laws rendered necessary
by the war and its results, and insuring life,
liberty and pursuit Of happiness to the emanci-
pated freedmen who are now so bulldozed that
they are seeking peace in exile, although urged
to remain by shot guns.
Nin,h-For haviLg atten pted the renea1 of
the wise legislation which excludes those who
served under the rebel flag from holding com.
missions in the army and navy of the United
States.
Tenth-For having introduced large
amount OF legislation for the exclusive benefit
of States recently in rebellion, which if enact
cd would bankrupt the national treasury
EleVenth--FOr having conspile to destroy
al That the Republican part, has accom- plished
many of them breaking their oaths of allegi.
arce to the United States and pledging thei,
lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor tc
overthrow this government. They failed. and
thus lost all they pledged. Call q halt. The
days OF vnporing are over. The loyal North is
aroused, and their doom is sealed I accent
the issue in those arraignments distinctly and
specifically before the citizens Of this great re-
pubic. AS Senator of the United States, as
- citizen of the United States appeal to the
people 1t Is for those citizens to say who i:
right AMI who is wrong. | go before that tri
bnnal confident that the Republican party i.
right, and that the Democratic party is wrong
They have made these issues, not we. and b,
them they must stand or fall. The platform
which they have constructed, not only for 1877!
but for 1880, they cannot change, for we will
hold them to it. They have made their he'd
and we will see to it that they lie thereon.
VESSEL LICENSES.
Consideration was resumed of the Senat
bill relating to vessels not propelled wholly b,
sail or internal motive power Of their own, ex
empting such craft from enrolment or license
