WASHINGTON, July 7.-Early in the morn
ing hour the senate resumed consideration
of the river and harbor bill, the question
being on the Hennepin canal project, re-
ported by the senate committee, A general
debate followed, participated in by MesSrs.
Logan, Vest, Hawley Sherman, Allison,
Dawes, Window, Butler and Morgan.
The northwestern senators favored the
project, the southern and eastern senators
opposed it, but on different grounds.
Mr.. Morgan, in urging the unconstitu-
tionaity Of the canal scheme, said its pur.
pose was to discriminate against one port
in favor of another by directing the trade
from New Orleans to Chicago, and break
ing bulk at the latter point. Without ac-
tion, however, the senate went into eNecu-
tive session and adjourned.

Butterworth, of Ohio, injected political
speech into the debate in the course of
which he went into the considera-
ton of the circumstances attend
ing his election to the forty
sixth congress and created considerable
amusement by his description of the
methods which he asserted had been prac-
ticed by the democratic party.
Cox, of New York, interrupted to in
quire what Butterworth thought of the re.
moval of Mr.. Smith, internal revenue col.
lector of Cincinnati.
Butterworth did not give direct answer
but in the course of his reply said to Cox:
You have district so thoroughly rotten
that 1t votes the democratic ticket by III
stinct."
This angered Cox somewhat. He replied
that such remark came with bad grace
from gentlemaH who had seduced a man,
who, according to the gentleman was q
democratic prostitute.
In reply Bulterworth made an allu,ion
which is not of nature fit for publication
and which was characterized by Cox as
the remark of a blackguard,
Subsequently an effort was made to have
the colluOquy omitted from the Record and
it was accomplished, though not until de.
bate had gone onfor some time and of such q
character as to lead Money, of Mississippi.
to suggest that the chair request
the ladies to retire from the galleries.
Butterworth concluded his speech with an
attack upon the democratic party and its
professions of civil service reform in the
forty-sixth congress. He said that the
party had ridden into power in the house
ietlock deep in human blood. To get that
power, it had murdered more men for at.
tempting to vote the republican ticket than
had fallen in defense OF the flag
at Gettysburg; beautiful party to talk
about civil service reform! There was no
spot upon the escutcheon Of the country
that had not been placed there by the
democratic finger. There was not hole in
the couutry's flag that they had not shot
there. There pointing to side of the
chamherl was map of the country. If
he asked that q man should PVT pencil
upon a state where political riot went un-
checked, where political outrage and wrong
went unrebuked and unpunished, there
was no man who would have the brazcn ef-
frontery to but his pencil within the boun-
daries of clear, clean republican state
