pirate SsOO,OOO for the carriage of the
United States mails to Central and South
America, China, Japan, etc, He did not

Mr.. salisbury opposed the proposition,
MIR, Hale said that according to Mr.,
Beck's explanation given yesterday the
PosLotiice Department was more Culpable
than at first supposed as to tho leaving at
Pernambuca Of a large body Of Rio Janerlo
mails. From Mr., Beck's explanation Mr..
Hale said it would seem that the Post
master General had sent the mail by an
English steamer while knowing that they
would have TO lie over ut Pernambuca, a
long way this side Of their destination aud
would have to await the United States
vessel from Brazil.
Mr.. Plumb said no Senator had shown
that the SUN per mile provided for
by the amendment was too much. The
same Senators who objected to this amend
ment in favor Of iOre'gn mails were here
laVoring the application OF an amendment
embodying the same principle for fast

MI. Plumb asked who was to be benefited
by the proposed arrangement, The
southern States would be- the bene6Ciaries
Of this proposition, The cities and har.
bors Of the South were 80 planned that
they would naturally become the mouth.
pieces by which the United States should
speak to the people south OF them. The
Southern States were now making the
cheap Cottons wanted by Central and
South America, yet Senators from the
S,uthern States were opposing this propo-
sltion. They did not speak the language
OF modern progress or modern civilization.
sAME OLD SOUTH,
The S'uth Of to-day was the South Of
Calhoun, Of iancey and OF Jefferson Davis.
Mr., Morgan interpreted the comment oil
the unfairneso, US he called 1t, OF this class
Of argument at this late stage OF the de.
bate. The Southern men, he said, had no
opportunity 10 reply 10 1t.
Mr.. Plumb said no Senator should be
cut oil from reply by Limitation OF time,
at least MIR. Plumb'S vote would be cast
for full opportunity for reply. The South
Of tto.dayin In national control, he continued,
responded to the wishes, the interests and
the principles in0CCuated by Calhoun,
enforced by YanCey and represented by
Jefferson Davis. He (Mr. PIumb) did not
speak OF that as In any sense personally
offensive or as qualifying the personal sim
Cerity OF men.
Mr.. Morgan remarked that no such
impeachment or accusation had the slight.
est personal otlense to him. Every name
mentioned by Mr.. Plumb was ConseCrated
in Morgan's memory as the name Of an
honorable and great man. He hoped
the State Of Kansas might some time or
other produce such character as MIR.
Calhoun, MIR. YanCey or Mr.. Davis.
MIR. Plumb remarked that Mr.. Morgan
had that aspiration Tor Kansas all to him
self.
AGAINST pRRE LABOR.
Mr.. PlumO would not take one leaf from
the chaplet Of any honorable, sincere,
honest or able man, but these men rep.
resented the South Of slayery-the South
that did not want free labor. So the South
took up to-day the burden Of that song
where 1t left of in 1851, yielding 10 the
came determination against free labor. II
was the old doctrine In favor OF capital
against labor. The capitalist with
his Golfers filled and believing in
the law Of supply and demand as applied
to labor. "Give me the right to buy
my ships where ! please, where can buy
Cheaply the products Of the labor Of other
countries and | don't care for American
labor" The South, Mr.. Plumb said,
would never take It's place in the galaxy
Of States, or perform It's part as rlyal In
the race for progress as long as
II Isaid that that there shonld be no
labor on ship or farm that should
realize that 1t was entitled to good wages
or TO the assertion Of It's rights. The
South had esChewed manufactures. That
was the sign by which she had been con-
Quered. Tue South had been valiant and
determined, but had no mechanics, no ar.
tisans whoCould make implements Of war.
fare, or means Of transportation on land
or sea.
The debate then closed and voting be.
gan. A number of amendments wero OF.
fered, some OF which were agreed to. The
vote on the Anal passage OF the bill was,
