POLITICS IN THE SENATE.
A Sharp Debate on the Resolution I'm
Reference to Southern Elections.

II respectfully notify the Senate that If this
debate is to be entered upon you might as well
now provide to have your incoming admins
tratien call its extra session of Congress, for
we will not stand here with our mouths muz-
zled when accusations are made against our
people and against our states and deny to our
selves the simple right of an earnest, honest,
faithful, courageous self-defense."
There was a good deal Of force-subdued
force-in the tones Of Senator Morgan's voice
when he, yesterday afternoon, objected to q
discussion on southern elections and ended up
his speech with the foregoing warning
Senators Evarts and Sherman desired TO pro-
coed to consider the resolution reported by the
former, directing the committee on privileges
and elections to revise the existing laws regu-
lating elections Of members of Congress; but
there was
SIDE.
Mr.. Harris called attention to the fact that
there were but eighteen working days before the
end Of the present Congress and that thirteen
out of the fourteen general appropriation bills
were still undisposed of. He said that this was
not the time for such a sectional debate as
would necessarily be stirred up.
Mr.. Sherman insisted that to refuse to hear
what Mr.. Evarts had to say would be action
unprecedented in the Senate. The appropria-
tion bills were nearly all out of the way; they
were further advanced than they usually were
at this period of short session. He insisted
that Mr.. Evarts be heard upon this important
matter.
Mr.. Morgan replied and characterized Mr.
Evarts' endeavor as a purely gratuitous attempt
on the part of senatorial politicians to launch
upon the Senate q dangerous,
EXCITING AND UNNECESSARY QUESTION.
Mr.. Chandler wanted to know what time
could be more appropriate for commencing
such debate than the one at which the pro-
cess had been commenced in certain states of
the union of killing contestants to seats in the
House of Representatives. 'Shall we wait"
he asked. until they are all killed and the APP
preparation bills passed, and then take up this
question, which the Senator from Ohio well
SAYS is of more importance than any other
which is before the Senator" Mr.. Chandler
went on to read the account Of
THE KILLING OF JOHN N. CLAYTON
and when he had concluded, Mr.. Berry de-
Tended Representative G. R. Breckenridge from
certain aspersions which were made by Powell
Clayton and W. II. III. Cayton, brothers of the
dead politician. 1t was finally decided to con-
slider the resolution, the vote being % to 10
strictly partisan.
Mr.. Harris suggested that a vote be taken at
once on the adoption of the resolution, without
debate; that would save time. Mr.. Evarts,
however. thought it would be better for the
committee to state the facts which led to the
resolution. The Senate then adjourned.

allowing the pauper labor of Europe
to come into competition with them.
It was only by putting the Republican
party back into power that the toll

the ruinous competition of cheap la
Dor beyond the sea- In his letter of
acceptance he dwelt with particular
emphasis on the necessity OF some in
spection of and limitation to immigra-
ton. stating that the day of the immi-
grafton bureau had gone by. He was
very emphatic about the awful results
of the competition of the products Of
American shops in the American mar
kets, without favoring duties. with
the products of cheap foreign labor.
ssSuch competition. he said, will
soon reduce wages here to the level Of
those abroad. and when that condition
is reached we will not need any law

wages to the starvation point, their
betrayed employees must .sither submit
to it or go on strike, with the cer-
tainty that their places will be filed
by the ever-increasing contingent of
the pauper labor of Europe in this
country. The beautiful theory of the
protection of American labor. so elo-
quently set forth by Republican ora
tors in and out of Congress last year,
has failed to material1ze. With the
markets of the world etfectually closed
against us by a prohibitive tariff, and
our own markets oversstocked. with
trusts controlling the production and
output Of every thing. and thousands
of pauper laborers ready to step into
the places of American work ing-men,
