WASHINGTON, May 9-For an hour and
fifteen minutes to-day St. jerome Edmitnds
kept the Clerk OF the Senate reading au-
thorities from the days-of George Washing
ton to- the. veto message OF Rutherford B.
Hayes to show tha: the doctrine has always
prevailed that the military must be used to
preserve the national peace. LIE was not
more, lively Mt times than some OF the
duliest OF the old-time lawyers OF the
Virginia Court Of Appeals, and soon
managed 10 drive every body not sleeping
or IL search OF rest from the galleries.
Secretary Lvarts, like 4 martyr. endured
the infliction in the diplomatic gallery, while
Conklng sat in the seat OF the Journal clerk,
fronting the speaker, and affected to be in
terested even during the reading of extracts
from the messages OF Thomas Jefferson. AS
the Vermont Senator proceeded with his
speech he was now and then warmed up,
and raised bis voice to its highest notes.
He OF course opposed the bill, defended the
veto OF the army bill, and looked upon the
regular army rs the custodians OF the ballot
box and the rreservers OF the purity
OF American suffrage. and poured out the
walls OF his wrath upon the South, for
there does not sit on The floor OF Congress a
more yenomous, relentless, and aggressive
enemy and prosecutor OF the people OF the
South than this able lawyer aud senator.
While not an orator, and rot success in Il
set speech. in running debate he has no SUI
perior in either body. His sarcasm aud his
inyectivc are peculiar but very effective,
and in ability and learning he has right to
rank with the ablest Of his contemporaries.
Those Republicans who heard the least Of
his speech are loudest in pronouncing il to-
night great effort; but no ole anticipates
that speech superior to it will he delivered
on the Republican side during the debate.
At the close OF MI. Edmunds's long
speech Mr.. Blaine got the floor, evidently
against the wishes OF his party managers,
and made an offensive and dramatic speech,
which had a good deal Of the stage heroics
about it. He seemed mortified when no
Democrat offered TO reply 10 it. But Zach.
Chandler did speak, and it was evident from
his countenance, his voice, and bis gesture,
that something affected him quecrly. The
Republicans looked deeply chagrined, and
the Democrats smiled significantly TO see
Old Zach. at his old tricks. The peculiar
pallor about his face made me fear be had
swallowed chew OF tobacco; but it was
not tobacco. it was simply. indignation at
the new rebellion. This peculiar perform
ance made 1t easy now to reach vote, and
the Ladd bill passed-ayes, SO; noes, %.
| 1t will be in the hands OF the President to-
morrow. The Senate will take. up the lie.
gisatiye bill tomorrow. ,:.,..: . ~..,.
POLITICAL aATTEIs-THE SITUATION.
was right last night when telegraphed
| that Blaine, Conkling, Chandler and the
other stalwart senators are working like
beavers to secure q veto, and know that
tonight they have not relaxed their efforts
or given up in the slightest their eXpccta-
!: ton of ultimate success. They were
pleased when they saw Dir. Eyarts in
4 the gallery to-day, because he is one OF
I the conservatives Of the Cabinet, and
needs the advice and counsel OF Edmunds.
They count Oh Sherman, DeVens, and Nc
Creary as being with them anyhow. was
surprised after leaving the Senate to find
that tie House leaders were rot so eager
! for q veto, nor were those who want the
| bill vetoed so certain Of success rs the sena.
| tors are. 1t is Gear, however, upon the
whole, after careful investigation, that
the majority OF Republicans, in and out Of
Congress, tonight believe that the Ladd
! bin will be vetoed. Democratic congress
men say Mr.. Hayes will sign it, however.
| PERSONAL NEWS ITEMS. ..-.
The opiniod prevails that Lord Roscoe
will reply to the structures OF the eloquent
Alabama senator, but then Morgan may
come back at him. General ColS,ou, before
the war Il resident of Lexington, is now
here, and will lecture on Egypt next week
Colonel John A. Sloan, formerly OF Rich
mond, has received lucrative appointment,
under the city government. Brother De L.
Matyr was greatly shocked when Mr.. Crit
tenden got so excited against the silver bill
that he cursed. By the way, the reverend
Greenbackcr had an idea Of soins
for the amusing member from Mich.
gan, Mr.. Horr, because Of a per
sonaI attack made npon the. latter
through a pamphlet last fall while he was
running. for Congress. but the Michigan
humorist coo!ly told him II lie did that ht
would get the worst OF it. 4 letter from
Hon. John Randolph Tucker to-day states
that he is getting on we'll, and is in good
spirits inregard to the success Of the opera
