during which he had stated that if he didn't
prove by irrefragible evidence there had been
a bargain he would resign his seat in the sen-
ate. With the intentions of individual sena-
tors he had nothing to do. Mr.. Malone said
truly, "Nobody could search the human
their acts to society,"" and it was his duty as
a senator to c%riticise, legitimately, the public
acts, votes and utterances of all men belonging
to the public. He had only the kindest feel
ings for Mr.. Malone; but when he and his
friends rose and charged the democrats with
revolution and treason it was his (Butler's)
duty to vindicate his course. The evidences
of bargain were:
l. MIR. Malone was elected as a democrat.

purpose to vote with the republicans.

important committee.

for voting as their con sci enc IS diet tied, in Or

IT.. Mr. Malone, instead of wanting an in
Vestlgati0n, sought to prevent free speech and
a legitimate decision by threats and denucia-
tons.
II. The reason for the coalition assigned
was that Mr.. Malone favored a free ballot
and fair count, when at the last election Iudi.
ana was colonized with negro voters in order
TO neutralize the democratic vote.

speech as Il libel on the south.

WAsHINGToN, April Ex-senator Miller of
California has received bundles of letters
protesting against the dead lock and urging
that he break away from his party. Califor-
MIA republicans detest Gorllam, and believe
the delay to be mainly on his account. They
cannot zee why a California senator should
tolerate it. They are also sollcitous for ac~
Tive work on the Chinese treaties, and have
no patience with the obstructive tactics by
which the action is prevented. Miller has
been very troublesome to the republicans,
and to-day he threatened to break from his
party unless the treaties were speedily cOnsid-
cred.
