10 The Editor Of The IHttlliycncer,

which unfortunately did not come to
my attention until to-day, as follows:
Mr. John R. Douehoo. OF Hancock county, all

BERLIN, Dec. 24.-The Reichs .in:eiger,
an official paper, declares the inability
OF the Government to accept the amend

Governments Communal bill was re.

by Herr Heriiurth, minister to the In.

The Hamburger MGclricnten, in 90 ar.

dissolution will be "to play q Bismarck's g

which will lead in the conflict between

The Oklahoma Legislative hlix-Mr. Nor
Enn's Resolution again.
WASHINGTON, Dec. "a. - Mr.. Ed
munds asked unanimous consent for the
passage Of joint resolution extendirg
until July l, 1891, the period during
which the laws Of Nebraska shall be in
force in the territory Of Oklahoma.
Mr.. Edmunds explained that the get
creating the territory placed over it the
laws OF Nebraska until the close Of the
first session OF the Territorial Legish-
ture. 1t had been presumed thatthe
Legislature would enact code OF laws,
but it had failed to do so, and the term
OF its service expired to-day. II Con
Sress iailed to act now the territory
would be in etatc OF chGoc.
Mr.. Morgan Inquired the reGaon for
the chaotic condition OF the Legislature.
Mr.. Edmuuis renlied that thers WAS
no good reason. ls believed it to be
due to the iiagrant negligence OF duty Of
the persons competing that body.
Mr.. Morgan criticised the action OF the
Legislature, the only Republican body,
he believed, which contained colored
member. Tho whole trouble he under-
stood grew out OF suuebb.c about the
eeat OF Government. 1t was . following
out OF the policy under which the Tsfri.
torial Government hsd been inaugIr-
ated. He objected to the consideration
oi the reEoluuon, and it was lsid over.
Mr.. Morgan called up his resolution
directing the Committee on Privileges
and Elections to amend section 2l OF
the Election bill.
Mr.. Sherman contenGei that it was
not now in order 10 call up that resolu.
tion, except upon formal motion.
Mr.. Morgan said that during his ser.
vice in the Senste, about fourteen years,
the other practice had been in vogue.
He likened the present condition OF the
Senate to the condition of sycophan.ic
DGmocles, with single hair holding the
sword suspended over his head. Yes
terday the little State OF Rhode Island
had suspended theswofa over the Senate
over the great States OF Massachusetts,
Ohio aud New York. Rhode Island had
informed the Senate that ut her will and
pleaeurc-not Of the proper committee
but OF q caucus committee, Tree speech
was to be prohibited.
Mr.. Sherman made the point OF order
that Mr.. Morgan was not entitled TO the
floor, but the presiding officer ruled
) otherwise, and Mr.. Morgan resumed his
remarks. II, he said, the sword were
hung over the heads Of sycophants and
towards there might be somethingin it
but when it was suspended over the rep
r,cen,atives OF sovereign States OF III.
Union the action would lie met in nc
! other manner than by an indignant pro
test against the injustice, its wrongful
ness and its i.uprop,ioly. The Pres
