Mr. Trumbull, of illinois, was in many

of the most important bills touching

Mr.. McDougal, OF California, was a

senator's were not present Mr.. Dick
son, senator from Connecticut, sup
porter of the veto, it was announced in
the Senate, was sick, and that he could
not safely attend. Mr.. Wade expressed
the thought that If Providence had
favored the measure for the admis-
sion Of that State, it was proper for
is friends to take advantage Of tha.
circumstance, and so he insisted that
The bill should be taken up and passed
upon. Just then McDougal came into
the Senate, and without taking his seat,
but standing by his chair, he replied 50
completely, so powerfully, in few
sentences, as 70 settle the fate Of
the bill for that light. After Nc
Dougal took his seat Mr.. Wade could
