WASHINGTON, -. c., sept. T.. Special
The Republican Senators are indignant at
the speech of Representative Kennedy yes
terday. As the speech has not appeared in
the Record the Senate could not take formal
cognizance Of it. senator Edmunds said
today that the speech was an outrage, and
that the members Of the House who
listened ami permitted its utter
ances were as culpable as Ken
nody. Senator Paddock also denounced
kennedy, and went 50 far as to prepare a
resolution TO call the Ohio "blatherskite' to
account. but was advised that he could not
present it, as the offensive remarks had not
appeared in the Record.
REGULARLY PLANNED CONSPIRACY.
Il now deyelopes that the delivery OF the
speech was regularly planned conspiracy
Sneaker Reed was the Onief ConspirntOr.
Force bill. lie arranged f0r the de-
livery Of the speech after be (Reed)
had left the city. Dalzell, OF Pennsy i
yauia, and RO we'll. Of Illinois, were two
other cOnspiratOrs. Kennedy was request
ed 10 deliver the speech. Dalzell, that he
might not be- held responsible. absented
himself and shreWdly induced O'Neill and
other friends Of QUAY who would defend
him 10 0leaNe also. Of course the Democrats
would not object. They recognized the iact
that the assault upon quay was certain to
increase the difficulties of the Republican
party, inasmuch as it was certain 10 in
crease their dissensions. Senator Quay is
more than indignant. lie is not saying
much, but hc is not the man TO pass such
an insult by, or forget il. lie Will get even
with Kennedy Who is a l0ud-mOuihed
blaihcrskitc. Hitherto he has devoted his
speeches % abuse of the south and her
people.
Scarcely day passes now that does not
develop some new cause Of quarrel among
the Republicans.
RIVER AND UARBOR BILL.
To-day. when the Democrats manifested
a disposition 10 hlihu-ter against con 'lu-
sion in the Breckenridge case, the friends Of
the River and ilarbOr bin became anxious
for its fate. They are afraid that pro
traCtcd fight over the contested case would
cndanger the River and llarbOr bill. Chair
man Henderson is NiNlant, and says
he will submit the conference re-
port m the first opportunity, and he
believes IL will be adopted very promptly.
General Henderson has not yet grown anN-
ious, but as the Democrats intend 10 make
the best fight they can against unseatlng
Breckiuridge. angry feelings may DE aroused
and thus endangcr the River and llarbor
bill. IN iilihusicrlng against unSedtlng
Breckiuridgc. the Democrats viii be- but
fOllOwiLg an example set them 10y the Re-
publicans i'm the F0rty-ninth Congress. The
Republicans then flibustereG 10 the end Of
the session '0preycnt The uuseatlng Of Eel

Sis. II was, said Colonel O'Fauall,
