DOlNGs OF CONGRESS
The Exua Session Of the Senate.
MONDAY APPEL 1S.
The adjournment from Thursday last until
to-day was barren of results There is not the
remotest sign of break in the deadlock. In
fact, the hopes Of compromise or settlement
lessen as time passes. The Democrats are stub
born in their avowed determination to remain
in session until December, rather than yield a
hair to their opponents, and the same spirit is
manifested by the Republicans
: The senate proceedings to-day were substan-
TALLY repetition of those Of many days pre-
vious. There was the same amount of bicker-
ing between senator's, justification of their con-
duct and endorsement of the positions assumed
by the two parties, as has characterized the de-
bates of the past month. Senators Dawes and
Beck came very near an interchange of impolite
language, but the momentary difficulty was
amicably settled Senator Brown delivered the
second section of his three-part speech, and,
after great deal of time consumed in petty
debate and roll calls, the senate adjourned
TuEsDAY, APRIL 10.
Mr. Blair of New Hampshire introduced q
resolution declaring that, in the Judgment Of
tne senate, tno puDilC !ntelestS ure tnat COu-
gress be convened Immediately. Mr.. Blair
made short speech, declaring that session
should be called to protect the Industries of the
country. He read letter showing that under
ruling of the treasury department, sustained
by the supreme court, the hosiery manufactur.
ers of the country were imperiled. In Mr..
Blair's opinion the tariff needed revision, and
he thought continual sessions of con- gress
would be good thing for the country.
Senator Logan refuted for the fortieth timo
the stories that are current and believed to
some extent that he sympathized with the re-
bellion at the beginning, raised a regiment, etc.
lie read letter dated April IA, 1881, from
him in congress at the outbreak of the war,
bearing testimony TO his loyalty to the Union
at that period, and stating they had never
heard him utter one word of sympathy with
the rebellion, but, on the contrary, he had been
vehemently opposed to it.
Senator Brown of Mississippi, took pleasure
in saying he thought the Senator's vindication
was full, complete and conclusive.
Mr. Beck of KY, said at the close Of the war
he had been kept out of the house of represen-
tatives some time through the efforts of the
gentleman from Illinois Nogan), and he had
collected some papers rejecting on that gentle
mans action at the outbreak of the struggle
He had submitted many of those to Frank
Blair, who had said to him: s'Beck, John Logan
was one Of the best fighters in the war, and
when men who are now trying to whistle him
down the wind were seeking safe places, he
was holding his life in his hand:" and contin-
ued Beck, took every paper had and burned
them before his eyes.
After Gen. Logan came Mr.. Call of Florida
in an extended speech, covering most Of the
points which have been discussed before. Don
Cameron read short lecture on ostracism in
the south, and the senate adjourned.
WEDNESDAY ApRu u
Senator Frye of Maine made his debut in his
new field by long and fiery speech bitterly
a busive of the southern states.
A scene very comical and earnest followed
between Butler and Burnside The senator
from Rhode Island jumped angrily to his feet,
and with honest indignation denounced Butler
for intmating that there had been a corrupt
bargain. "Whoever says there has been bar
gain says that which is false, false, false,
screamed the speaker, shaking his fist at the
South Carolinian. Butler tried to make re-
mark, but before he could begin to speak Burn
side again said that he who alleged there was
corrupt bargain uttered falsohood. Mr.. But
ler remarked that Mr.. Burnside seemed to be
greatly excited. s'No, I'm perfectly calm"
snapped MIR. Burnside as he stood quivering
with wrath. The senate roared with Laughter
in which Butler joined. Without transacting
snv hnsiness the senate adjourned.
THURSDAY APRIL ~.
Mr.. Coke of Texas answered Mr.. Frye's speech
He said the people Of the south were of the
same race as the people of the north--a race
which had never been dominated by an inferior
race and never would be. That race meant to
govern in the south, and forty or fifty thousand
inserted in Virginia, would not serve to deviate
it from its course or change the result
There was quite little spat between Davies
and Cameron. The latter wanted to adjourn
over to Tuesday to 60 home, and Davies op-
posed the motion.
telegram from Lieut. Gov. McEnery as to the
truth of the charge that Massachusetts man,
Charles Heath, had suffered persecution in
louisiana. The telegram says Heath's state
ment is absolutely false. His property was
burned to obtain insurance. It was insured for
50, 900. The valuation by the appraisers to
adjust the loss was ST. 400 The matter was
investigated by the grand jury at the last term,
and letter from Judge Bridger says that at
the July term sufi cient evidence will have been
obtained to find bill Adjourned until Fri
day.
FRIDAY, April. 2Z.
Mr.. Morrill, reproached the democrats fol
their assault upon Mr.. Malone, to which Beck
felt called upon to reply. This called up Sen
ator Sherman, He assured the democrats that
they were wrong, and the country knew it He
said that the democratic states had done all the
repudiating except Minnesota, and the bonds
that had been 80 repudiated were originated
during the only democratic administration thai
state ever had. He deprecated the failure to
meet the payment of the bor.ds and he had con-
fdence that the people of Minnesota wonlj
do it. He declared that the state had
better have five times the amount than
have incurred the reproach of dishonesty.
Senator Rrown read extracts from number
OF republican papers disapproving the course
OF the republicans. Gen. Hawley caused q
diversion by reading from Browns celebrated
speech at the Chicago convention in 1868, when
he declared himself republican, and said that
If they were given the federal patronage they
could carry the state.
The senate adjourned over till Tuesday in
honor Of the unveiling Of the Farragut statue
