FIR. PETER Declares That 1t Is Rife
in This Country.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The McGar-
rahan bill had the attention of the sen
ate for half the time today's session
lasted, and Mr.. Hunton, of Virginia,
closed his three days speech in its
favor. Several senators intended to
speak i'll opposition, and on that account
a suggestion to have a day and hour
fixed for voting OH it after the HOLIDAYS
did not meet with favor. The bill, how
ever, retains its privileged place in the
morning hour. A like attempt was
made in regard to the anti-option bill
after Mr.. PETER pop of Kansas. had fin
ished his speech in its favor, but as
objection was made, Mr.. WaShburn
(Rep.) of Minnesota. declared his inten-
ton of pressing for the bill's considera-
ton and for the vote after the reaasem-
bling of the senate, even at the expense
of long sessions. He asserted that the
bill was favored by a considerable ma
ioritv of senators, by nine-tenthS of the
whole people, and by ninety-nine hun
dredths of the farmers of the country.
Another subject which. according to
notice given by Mr.. Chandler (Rep), of
New Hampshire, is to be pressed for
consideration Immediately after the
holiday recess, is the bill to restrict
and prohibit immigration, which was re-
ported today from the committee on
immigration, but which, according to
the statement OF Mr.. Hill Dem.) of
New York, member of that commit
tee. is not in all respects such a bill as
the people wish. Mr.. Hill has reserved
the right of making minority report.
In his speech on the anti-0ption bill
Mr.. PETER described dealing in futures,
as now carried on at the produce ex-
changes, as gambling for high stakes,
having the protection of the law thrown
about it, the customs of society APPROX
ing it and pIaudits greeting the win
ners; while other species of gambling
were denounced by law and attended
with penalties. The gambling spirit
was rife in this country. The public
conscience was being blunted by that
prevailing moral malady, which was
rapidly making its way into every de-
partment Of society. Whole columns of
metropolitan periodicals were taken up
with stock exchange repoEtS; men were
sent a thousand miles to report prize
fights and Christians read the sickening
recitalS in the morning before attend
ing divine services; games of ball were
telegraphed to thousand newspapers :;
respectable gentlemen gambled on
horse races; patriotic citizens staked
WagerS on elections, and even the
chLTcn was tainted with that debauch-
ing vice. Speculation in options and
futures was only Of many symptoms Of
