IT will be very gratifying to Tenneasesns
OF whatever political name, TO know that
Senator Isham G. Harris still continues to
deserve so well of his fellow-senators as that
he can, on a vote with even so pronounced
Republican as Conger, command almost the
unanimous vote of the S nate. No other
Democrat can do it, nor any Republican.
A case in Point was furnished in the course
OF the proceedings Of the S>nate last Thurs
day, when Senator Harris called up he bill
appropriating 5000 for the Improvement
OF the Memphis harbor, when Mr.. Copger
intimated his objection to it. One objection
il sufficient, under the Anthony rule, to set
aside bill. Mr.. Couger thought the sum
ought to be regarded as constituting part of the
gross amount TO be expended in Mississippi
river Improvements, snd sesmsd ia-ispos6d
to listen TO Mr.. II irris's urgent request to
ALLOW the bill ID be passed. Mr. Frye came to
Mr.. Harris's support. He had become con-
vinced from careful investigation, that i,
was Oecesssry 10 supply The money asked
for, in order tas, work already performed in
the hirbor OF Memphis should be saved.
II app aird to Senator Corger not to inter
pose an obi j-ctiop, but the lately. great OBJ
jec.or OF the House had found an oppor-
tunity TO be an obieetor in the Senate, and
he persisted in his opposition, driving Sena-
tor Harris to the extremity of moving for
vote 10 see if the Senate would consider the
bill. IL dec,ded to. take it up by vote of
81 to is. Senator Harris was triumphant by
very and unusually decided vote. Senator
Congers objection was said to have been on
the ground that the report has been made by
q committee which should not hare consid-
cred the bill.
