SESArE.-Senator Garland moved to re.
consider the action of last evening by which
the senate consented to the appointment of
the conferees. He claimed that the senate
was being trifed with by the house and
du2cd by a petty resort to jugglery. Sen
ator Sherman attempted to dissuade him
from such notion; but he was so thoroughly
incersed at the imaginary wrong that he
would not listen to modification.
Senator Morrill, moved to lay
the motion to reconsider upon the table,
which was lost by vote o! "A to &c. 1t began
I"ga Is stepped in, and after some words,
intended to soften Garland. he offered his
reso 'utiol providing that the conference
should be complete and untrammelea, and
that should the conferees find that the house
conferees had been hampered by instruction
that would prevent free consideration of the
subject, the former should withdraw ard re-
port the TACT to the senate.
After little further observation of his be-
lief ON the part Of Garland that the house
did not intend to deal fairly in the matter,
he accepted Ingalls, resolution, and with
drew his motion to reconsider. So all was
lovely again. 49,,
