lngS, ana even people. Ihe police
were powerless.
Arnold Morley's residence is in the
house formerly occupied by John
Bright and when the rioters appeared
Morley was in. He loudly called
for help and number of brave DO
licemen opposed the men, but were
swept away like chaff, and the host
rushed up Morleys steps. He had
locked and barrlcaded his door but it
was burst open against his face and
the house was overrun despite bis
screams and protests. Scarcely a
sound pane of glass was left in the
building. The mob saw a carriage
whose occupants had fed and they
broke it up and used the spokes for
clubs. After Burns had spoken a
savage fight occurred between his
adherents, the socialists and the
anti-socialists. The battle ragged fol
some time but the socialists proved
victorious and lifted Burns to their
shoulders and bore him along. Burns
again addressed them even more vio-
lently than before. He was follow
ed by several other socialistic speak
ers who did every thing to stir
things up.
Sometime after dark the mob
gradually left the square, satisfied
that without having actually collided
with the police, they had won the
day. Its sections made havoc in the
streets till they dwindled away. Lii
quor saloons were broken into and
the windows in every street through
which they passed were smashed.
Upwards of $4,000 men must have
been rioting for at least six hours with
full possession of every thoroughfare
they chose to invade, yet no life is
reported to have been taken. If the
police had been strong enough to
attack the mob there might have
been terrible records to make. The
mob was essentially English, con-
sistlng of unemployed laborers.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MONITOR
Washington, Feb. Sth.
The week has been markedly in.
teresting one at the capital. In con
gress there have been several acri
monious debates, good deal of sub
stantial legislation and a large ex
penditure of eloquence on various
subjects, besides an endless stream
of Pan Electric and Bell telephon
gossip in the Hobbies. The senat
voted 5000, 100000 for nationa
militia purposes, and the republica
majority invited Dakota to tn
Union. Every vote against Dakot
was democratic and every vote fo
her was republican except that Q
Senator VOORHEES, of Indiana. TIL
vote for Dakota's admission was pre-
ceeded by a debate of five hours
| which occasionally grew warm. I'll
= democratic side twitted certain I,
! publican senators for presidents
aspirations in their struggles in b.
3, half of the territory. Senator Blu
4 Ter, of South Carolina, who hs
strongly opposed admission, remarl
S ed that he had no doubt Dako

q with the presidential fever. Gener
L Logan said in the course of spec,

l. Indiana senator retorted that if ev
le he should be a candidate and cou
l. justly claim the vote of Alabama,
l. would not expect to have it count
4 for him. While the usually dignifi
IL senate was indulging in this kind
q badinage, one senator brought dov
the floor and galleries by quotn

Of The congressional telephone

b. The contest between the preside
he and senate is at the same stage tt
ut it was week ago, and seems to
in danger of evaporating. The
at publican majority cannot compel I
d. president to furnish reasons for

a to do is to endeavor to show
st country that they have 2 right to

al will probably be discussed by tn
