tive session was lost. r. ..L E.,r
APRIL 2S.-Mr. Butler addressed the SEN
ate. He read from the record q recent COLO
guy between Mr.. Burnside and himself, in
which he said he would resign his seat if he
did not prove that there had been a bargain
between Malone and Republicans. While
making no charge against the Senator from
Virginia, for whom he had the kindliest feel
ings, since that gentleman and his friends had
charged the Democrats with revolution and
treason, he felt it his duty to vndicate his 20.
sition by citing in detail the arguments which,
in his Judgment, showed cOncluSively that
such q bargain had been cOnsummated. He
was replied to by Messrs. Burnside and Hale.
Adjourned till Monday. ~
