Proof of the Bargain.
WASHINGTON, April 2S-Unfinlshed bust
ness came up, being the motion to 60 into
executive session. Lost, 20 to 81. Senator
Butler then took the floor, promising his
speech by reading from the Record the report
of colloquy which occurred between himself
and Senator Burnside on the Goth inst, during
the course of which he had stated if he did
not, by irrefragible evidence, establish that
there had been bargain, he would resign his
seat. In endeavoring to do SO, he desired it to
be understood that with the purposes and in
tentions of Senators, as individuals, he had
nothing to do. He was not here to impeach
motives, or to call into question the individual
integrity or honesty of Senators. The
Senator from Virginia (Mahone) had
said that no maH could search the
human heart. That was true, but men were
held responsible for their acts to society, and
it was his duty as Senator to criticise the pub
TIC acCS, pubic fOlcS anu pubic utGcT-
ances of all men who belonged to the public.
He made no charge against the Senator from
Virginia. He had nothing but the kindest
feeling for that Senator, but when he and his
friends rose and charged the Democrats with
revolution and treason it was his (Butler's)
duty, in vindcation OF himself, to account
for the course he was taking. What were the
evidences of bargain?
First-The Senator from Virginia MA
I<, oil ad To no SaOafn
crat.
Second-His purpose to vote with the Re-
publcans had never been announced until his
vote disclosed that fact.
Third-Following that vote he had been as
signed to the craftsmanship Of an important
committee by the Republicans.
Fourth-This had been followed by the
nomination of Riddleberger for sergeant-at-
arms.
Fifth-Geo. Gorham, an earnest friend of
the Senator, had been nominated as secretary.
Sixth-He (Mahone) had appointed Cor
hams brother-iH- law as clerk OF his commit
tee.
Seventh-The nomination by the Presi-
dent of Mahone's political friends TO federal
offices.
Eighth-The Senator had acted upon every
motion with the Republicans.
Ninth-By such votes he was carrying out
the will of the Republican caucus.
Tenth-He had moved his seat to the Repub-
lican side of the chamber.
Eleyenth-Tke Republican caucus refused to
transact public business until Gorham and
Riddleberger were elected.
Twelfth-The Senator still claimed to be a
Democrat and voted with the Republicans.
Observation-Disclosures was an avowed
Democrat and Repudiationist and therefore Of
| fensive to the Republicans.
Fourteenth-The Senator from Ohio (Sher-
mani avOwed anything that would beat down
the Democratic party was justifable.
Fiftecnth-Democratic Senator's had been
| assailed because they voted as their con-
sciences dictated, in order to divert the atten-
| ton of the country from the unlawful alli-
ance.
sixteenth-Instead of inviting investigation
OF the charges, the Senator from
West Virginia and his friends
sought to prevent free speech and legiti-
mate discussion by threats and denunciations.
The reason assigned for coalition was that
| the Senator from West Virginia was in favor
of free ballot and fair count.
Senator Butler then proceeded to reply to a
portion of Frye's speech, regretting that
gentleman's absence, but at the same time
quoting, "He who fights and runs away may
! live to fight another day." He repealed the
assault made by the Senator upon the State of
South Carolina, asserting that the people of
| South Carolina were living in peace and
harmony.
Senator Butler, continuing his speech, read
| from Eastern newspapers and from attidavits
of citizens of Maine to show that in elections
held in that State fraud, bribery and intimda
ton had been practiced by the Republican par
| ty. The Chandler murder in Maine he charac-
terized by saying that in Nervousness, in brrl-
tality, in beastiness, it had never been equalled
since the days when the Borgias had shocked
humanity He only cited these outrages to
remind the Senator from Maine that before he
began another cruise in South Carolina he
ought to apply the teachings of the school
books and bible at his own home.
The speech ended, Senators Burnside and
Hale engaged Butler. Burnside reassserted
that all charges that there was any corruption
on his side of the chamber were false. Hale
said the difference between the people of South
Carolina and the people of Maine was that.
the people of Maine and its institutions pun
ished those who bad committed the vile deeds.
The Republican party was dedicated to this
single proposition, that everywhere all over
the republic, man who had right to vote
should be permitted, if he wi,led, to execute
that right. There would never be a binding
peace until that question was settled and set
tied right.
a resolution was adopted calling on the at
torney general for copy of the report of
Special Agent G. G. Lancaster to the United
States marshal for the Western district of Vir-
ginia. Adjourned until Monday.
All Broke Up.
