"a, proclaim how little God and nature
i've done for them. is INST class op-
r4trnlty. and to-day Representative
,1enrv Johnson. Of Indiana, and Senator
perer both gave abundant and sufficient
Evidence OF the fact that some house OF
correction or asylum for the feeble
minded would be more appropriate for
,ben than the halls OF Congress.
Mr. Johnson was guilty OF two hours
trade against the South, in which there
VAS a conspicuous absence Of common
s,rse and fact. and he managed at the
close Of his harangue TO completely
Ssnons1rate that his manliness and self
rvpect were at par with MS paipable
,,sliciousness. that made ribaldry jewel
mud mAlevO.cncc "a gem.
Coneressman Breckenridge, Of Kentucky,
arse during the painful silence that fol-
lowed the close of the narrCw-minded and
purns attack OF the alleged representa-
dive from Indiana, and In a voice tnat
BETRAYED the indignation that burned In
his bosom. he said in substance do not
believe that the constituents Of the gen
geuan who has Just spoken entertain
his views OF the South and her people; !
10 not believe that ne represents their
opinions. and with this l dismiss him.
mr. johnson leaped 10 his feet and ex-
claimed. "Yes and there are some other
thlucs the gentleman from Kentucky
would Ike to have dismissed
"I fau 20 understand the import OF the
reutlcmaus remark" said Mr.. Breckin-
ridge
yes" replied Mr.. Johnson. Il suppose
sou do, but the country understands r.
There was a creditable murmur of dis
approval all over the House at the low
order OF being who could be so far for
Fetfll Of the fact that he was accredited
10 manhood. and with the appropriate
ouotatlon, God made him, let him pass
f1r "a man" Mr. Johnson was for the
second time dismissed by the listeners.
Senator PETER beloved at the Vice
President for an hour this afternoon ana
an "a fruitess attempt 20 prove that ne
was not an anarchist, as he said had been
charged against him, he attempted 10
proye that the poor and common people
had always been the bone and sinew Of
everything on earth. lie even stated that
iu the war between the States the same
people now the third party and Populists
OF the Southern States did the fighting.

is compelled TO listen % such stun as
this. he feels like saying with the piow-
boy at work, 1T beats the devil what you
see when you haven't got your gun.
The silver advocates I'm the Senate seem
10 be growing petuient over the continued
afIirmauons of Senators voorhees, ana
German that the repeal bin viii be pass
ed. and they now viii not content them
seives by the introduction OF irrelevant
resolutions, but 20 excite the majority 90
outside debate they are beginning 90 make
personal illusions to the leaders Of the
repeal that have nothing 10 10 with the
matter under discussion, and which are
beneath the dignity of Senators.
Senator Stewart attacked the President,
hoping TO draw out some Of the Demo
cratic senator's but he only ELECTED
rebuke from Senator Voorhees,. coupled
with a brief but splendid tribute 10 Mr..
Cleveland from the Tall Sycamore Of
the Wabash"
The resolution which was introduced
Yesterday by Senator Dubois. Of Idaho,
Is perfect as a cuuniugly devised rcheme
20 pr0loug and stay the vote upon The
repeal The resolution provides that
the consideration Of the repeal of the
Sherman law. the Federal elections law
and the tariff shall AN be put off until
next January, when the legislatures of
the States OF Montana. Washington and
Wyoming shall have had an opportunity
o. elect senators 10 I'm the three vacan-
cies now existing.
The putting ia OF the election laws
and the tariff is done 10 catch the votes
Jf the Republican senators who will vote
Tor the repeal. This shows how alert
the silver men are 10 grasp at any ana
everything that will ia any way have
The effect Of creating debate and deloy
vote In the 6erate.
Senator Hoar. his morning in rising
e. personal eNl lanation read an Ertt-
Gle from a Peoria Oll) paper. in which
quotation from n speech OF Mr.. Hooper
Congressional Record in 1873 makes
him say. "Alr E.nest Scyd who Is now
here" &c.-callcd attention 10 the fact
that the words. "whO Is now here" DO
not occur I'm the Record, ana had ftad
letter from Mr. Seyd's son. stating that
bis father had not been in the United
States since 1856 IL Is singular fuch ii

OF course IL is laid upon the unreliable
neusuoper. Mr. Seyl is the English

positively refntcs the statement.
A lively colloQuy nrose in the House
this morning between Mr.. Fltlian. OF
Illinois and Mr. Elijah Morse. the ''ris-

laughter and confusion of the House. and
