vote Of 90 to 25 refused to go into executive
session. Johnston quoted from Heidelberg
er's paper, The YuyRidn, to prove that Rid
dleberger was a Democrat, as well as Ma.
hone and from the Riddleberger bill to show
! that the Republicans were supporting a man
who had announced in that bill that the
adoption of the 18th. 14th and 18th amend
ments was equal in its terrible effect to the
war. He went infinitely into the debt ques-
ton, contending that the Democrats in fail
ing to pay interest, did not intend to repudi
ate.
Answering Dawes, he said that he agreed
with Malone in holding that West Virginia
ought to pay one-third of the debt. He
asked Dawes when in Virginia anybody
had waded through blood to the balot-box.
Dawes said the Mississippi plan was gen.
eral term. Specific names were attached to
the different Southern States. In one State
it took the form of blood. in anotherl It's
sue ballots, in another forging returns, in
Virginia opposition to vagabond suffrage, So
called. Had the Senator forgotten that the
army had been called on at Petersburg to
suppress violence? Did he pretend that no.
body got hurt there in a vain attempt to as
sert his right as voter?
Johnston said the charge Of smothering the
Republican vote in Virginia was absolutely
false. If any tissue ballots had been used 1t
was in Mahone's district He asked Dawes
| If he did not get those tissue ballots from
Mahones district. Dawes said no, from
Norfolk.
After a little badinage, Johnston continued,
defending the Funder Democracy.
At the conclusion of Johnston's speech,
Salisbury appealed to the Republicans to
ground the weapons OF rebellion against its
| own Administration. If any man needed
pity and cemmiseration it was the President,
who had been treated with such marked dis.
respect by his own friends. Perhaps the
President now in the White House was say
ing there were some in this chamber from
whom he had not expected any better treat
ment, because he had antagonized them
and their third-term man in the
Chicago Convention. But then, there
was the Senator from Ohio, whom
he had nominated for the Presidency
Why did he sit in silence and refuse to con-
slider the nominations, The President might
chusetts (Hoarl he sat with me on the Elec-
toral Commission, and is privy to all the
secrets | am privy to, and L did not expect
this from him. Then there is the Vice-P resi-
dent, whose name has been inscribed with
mine, and whose image is stuck up beside my
own in almost every junk-shop. He ought
not to have turned his heel ON me, and vet
he will not give any respect to nv messages.
He Salisbury appealed to the Republicans
to march up to duty, and help save the
President OF their choice.
Dawes called attention to the fact that the
last effort made to go into executive session
had been rebuked by an emphatic majority
of the Senate. 1t had not been defeated by
tie vote, but by a humber of votes, and it
was the Senate which the Senator from Della
ware was quarreling with, not the Republi-
can side.
Jones of Florida denied the statement made
! Friday by Logan, that political outrages were
perpetrated in Florida.
| Harris moved to lay the resolution on the
| table-ayes %, noes y.
The roll was called, followed by another
| roll-call in quick succession upon a dilatOry
motion.
! Dawes inquired as to when the Democrats
would permit a vote to be taken on the reso
luton, being always met with the response,
6 On the first Monday of December"
Finally, Dawes, remarking that it had be-
come evident that majority of the Senate
was opposed to postpOning consideration of
this resolution, and expressing the hope that
the minority would come tomorrow prepared
to stay till the will Of the majority was
obeyed, he moved to adjourn.
Agreed TO, and the Senate adjourned.

OMAHA, April 4th.-The Missouri river be-
gan rising slowly again Saturday morning at
this point, and to-day it has been rising much
mora rapidly, until this evening it has over
flowed its banks and is fast covering the bot
tom lands on both sides. 1t is now at the
highest high.water mark-eighteen feet above
low-water MARYLAND is still rising. The
smelling works have been flooded, and have
been compelled to shut down. One side offs
the track on the levee has been washed away.
Every preoautioa is being taken to protect
the smelling works, Union Pacific shops,
lumber yards, etc. There is considerable
fear here that the food which is now certainly
coming from above Sioux City will do great
damage. snd some predict that the river will
cut new channel close TO Council Bluffs or
clear up to the bluffs on the Omaha side.
A dispatch received here from Sioux City
this afternoon. states that everything has
broken loose there, and the river was rushing
down with rise of about five feet. The
