 of Taking Seals.
 WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.-In the Senate Senator Chandler introduced a resolu- ton to censure Senator Call for nsert- ing in the "Record," as part of his remarks on the Florida assas- slnation, last week, the charge that MT. Chandler. because of his speeches in the Senate was responsible for the political murders in Florida. MT. Chandler produced the origi- nal copy showing the allegations In Mir. Calls own writing. He made bitter speech against Mr. Call to which the Florida Senator re- sponded.
 Mir. Call defended his course in the matter. asserting that he had in debate expressed substantially the same idea as was expressed in the additional para graph. He had simply changed the phraseolRy., as he had right to do, and therefore the statement made by the Senator from New Hampshire was not true. It was the first time in his II years service in the Senate that he heard 1t claimed that it was not admis- s1ble for Senator to correct, to ex- plain, to exemplify the language used by him so as to express more clearly the idea intended to be conveyed.
 MT. Chandler repelled the intimation not true. He desired to have the de- clslon ot the Senate on the question presented. He asked no protection for himself. He only asked that tho Senate should decide whether such language might be used by one Senator in rela- ton to another Senator. and whether the Senator from Florida was to be per mitted with his pen, alone in his room. to write out additional charges and send them to the Public Printer to be published throughout the country as if they had been actually spoken in the Senate Chamber. He sent the original of the objectionable paragraph by a page to Mr. Call and asked whether that was in his handwriting.

A TRAGEDY AT SILVER CITY.

The homicide winch occurred m Silver City, New Mexico, May 26th, was not surprise to very many resi- dents of that place whs, for many months, were Tn expectation of the event. In that place there lived . ia nily consisting of Thomas Lyons, wife and one child, surrounded by all the comforts that rendered life dssira- ble; and thus they lived amid wealth and influence until J, R. McMannigil, youthful rake, lured the wife from her matrimonial mooring. The liaison had been carried on for nearly fsur years and furnished rich msrsel for the gsssip-mongsrs. Mir Lyons had warned McMannigil, on penalty of death, to stay away from his residence, and enc account states that the injured husband had offered the destroyer of his happiness $10,000 fine would leave the country and take the faithlsss wife with him. On the day of the tragedy Mir. Lyons announced that, after loading some cattle for shipment to Kansas City, he would go ts Man. gus, N. NJ, but he did not finish load ing the cattle that day, and returned to his home about s o'clock in the evening, and entered the house which was in darkness. AS he passed into the library he was accostsd "Who is there?" by voice winch ho recog. nized as McMannigils, and drawing 8 45-reyolvsr Mir. Lyons commanded, Throw up your hands" McManni- gil drew pistol at the same instant, and the silver plating of the weapon gave out reflection which enabled Mir. Lyons to locate the intruder. He fired three shots in rapid succession, ono of which struck McMaunigil in the left side of the neck ranged downward, and produced instant doath. Mr Campbell, whs occupied the rooms above, was aroused by the report of the pistol, entered with light and found Mr. and Mrs. Lyons and the body of McMannisil in the room. The dead man was still grasping a pistol, full cooked, in his right hand. MT Lyons was given preliminary examination before a justice of tho peace, who after hearing the evidence, promptly discharged him. Public sem timsnt is entirely with Mir. Lyons. The body of Mchannigil was shipped to Pert Royal, Penn, where hls moth- CT resides.
