WAsulSGroE, D. O., Jan. 22.-Vice
President Morton may have blundered
a little in failing to add couple Of
words to the patent declaration which is
made when the journal is approved
each day and thereby given excuse for a
couple Of days to be wasted by the DEM
ocrats in the Senate; but he made up
for It this afternoon when he firmly
ruled the obstructory tactics on the part
Of the Democratic out Of order, aud per-
mi,ted the C!oturs resolution to go sgAin
before the Senate. There was large
crowd present in the galleries and on
the floor Of tho Senate Chamber and
altogether, it was the supreme moment
Of the long and exciting debate which
has been going on for come weeks.
The Vice President proved himself
equal TO any emergency. A lot Of the
riolous Democrats OF the House came
over and witnessed the transformation
of the Senate from q time.killing 10 q
business body, and among them was
Mr.. Mills, who has made such pititul
exhibition OF himself. Mr.. Mills retired

Senator German, and received in:
s;ructioRs to return To the House and
contirue the filibustefing. The vote on

d It is expected that both the clotnre

these measures for the purpose Of break

which isnow in the hands Of lawyer,

Natural GAS in chicago.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-Four years ago
natural gas was discovered on the prem
ises of Chicago manufacturing com
pany. The flow was small at first but
has been increasing right along, and has
now become so etrong that the COM
pany has put in conHection with itl
boiler furnaces and will use 1t for fuel
hereafter. This is the first instance ol
the kind in Chicago, and the starting up
OF the furnace this afternoon was quite
an event. II is claimed that this Is true
natural gas and probably connected with

AGAINST THE JEWS,

Mr.. cambridge said msiority Of ped
dlers were not deserving citizens. Most
Of them were not citizens at ali. The
majority were Russian Jews sent out by
Jewish houses on commission. They
were nuisances aud ought TO be sup
pressed like any other nuisance. Some
body remarked that Union soldiers out
his way were not peddlers. They were
all drawing pensions and did not have
to peddle. This was greeted with cheers
from the Democratic side, aud Mr.. Clark,
OF Greenbrier, came up again. He said
that so far as the soldiers who fought
upon the same side as himself were con.
cerned, they were not found with packs
on their backs, and never would be. He
believed In taxing psddlers and taxing
them heavily. Mr.. Greer, Of Mason, re-
piled, saying he did not believe 1t cour.
sgeous and manly to drag epithets into
the discussion OF the question, and refer
to either Federal or Confederate soldiers
in such a connection, but he did know
Of one Confederate soldier in his county
who carried psck and sold few little
articles for the benefit OF his family. He
told OF a man who had lost an arm in bis
employ who started into business with
pack and $40 worth Of goods, who was
now married and supporting his family
we'll from the start thus given him.
BELIEVES IN EQUALITY.
He looked upon the bill as an outrage
upon the poor men. II his Democratic
friends believed in free trade between
nations they ought to show their faith
by putting all men on an equality in
their own State.
Mr.. Gore said he believed in giving
the poor man chance. "0nce poor,
always poor" seemed to be some peo-
ple's mottos. He came in the laboring
mans interest and was opposed TO
everything having tendency TO oppose
the poor.
Judge Ferguson favored the bill. In
his part of country pack peddlers were
nuisance, and some Of them were more
than pack psddlers. They were little
more than common tramps, and some
times took bearings in the day time to
enable them to make q raid at night.
The, bill would tend to wipe out the
class and leave a better class To a great
extent.
MIR. Garden moved to amend by i'm
posing the proposed tax on all who were
not citizsnF, but this met with no favor.
all amendments proposed were voted
down and the bill ordered 10 its third
reading by almost strict party vote.

SlOO on peddlerB who travel on foot
$3.50 for those with horse and 500 fol
those with two horses, came up for con-
sideration.
Mr.. HRnen announced himself as OPP
posed to the bill aud proposed as an
amendment S25 for Sl00. BE said that
many worthy people had no other
means OF making livlihood. Some
men who had served their country and
were unable to do other work wore en-.
gagged in IL; that It III became q party
who was always talking about champion.
ing the poor mans interests TO come to
the Legislature and in the interest Of
monopoly propose to clap q tax OF Sl0O
per year on foot peddlers. People who
talked about free trade and tariff for
revenue only were acting inconsiBtently
in championing measure of this kind.
BE believed in low license for those try
ing to exc out an honest. living by ped.
ding, and in giving the poor people q
chance.
