gress and inaugurates a week which vii
be full Of exciting scenes and which vii
probably witness the termination OF th'
two long debates in the House and Sen

It's guiding spirit Senator Voorhees, was
in a towering rage this morning, and even
senatorial courtesy could not restrain him
from giving Senators Teller, Morgan, But
Ter and Harris few red not thoughts. -
as Miss Amelie Rives says in the quick
or the Dead"
Senator Harris started the ball this
morning by publicly declaring that he
would not change his silver views for
any office that the Memphis repeal ad-
vocates could give him. This was brought
out by petition sent him from Memphis
urging the repeal. Senator Teller then
attacked Senator Voorhees, on his record
! on silver which extended back to the
| discussion OF the Bland-AllisOn act Of
/ fifteen years ago. Senator Teller also ar
ranged the President on his letter TO
| Governor Northen OF Georgia
Senator Voorhees, arose 70 reply end
| Senators Harris, Morgan and Butler began
interrupting him. 1t was soon evident
that the Senator from Indiana was losing
his temper, and soon he reached the boil
ing over point, and then he moved the
chairs away from around him. Indignant
ly he refused TO permit another question.
and bursting into perfect torrent of words
he paid his respects to his tOrmentOrs IN
a style that was beautiful 10 behold and
which had the effect OF exciting the
frrf
amusing the galleries immensely.
Senator Voorhees, bore his debate spien-
didly and lost nothing save his temper
In the discussion, but the silver men Seem
ed TO enjoy the occurrence hugely and
II was more than an hour before the
Senate resumed its customary cOmpos ire
As this was the closing day Of debate
on the elections bin there was a good
attendance In the House and, as was anti
cipated, lively scene prevailed. Mr.
Boutelle, Of Maine, made the bitterest
speech Of the entire debate and at its
close about half Of the Southern Demo
Gratis were ready to speak. Mr.. Marshall,
OF Virginia, however obtained the floor.
The Democratic cause in Louisa can
wei afford TO suffer sOme-they can easily
spare from their immense maiorities the
votes they may lose on account Of the
absence Of Honorable James w. Mar
shall from the Louisa hustings to-day.
Detained here by duties and obligations
so imperative and binding that no man
would dare disregard them, he rendered
good service to the Democracy Of his
State and TO the people Of the whole
South, in repelllng and refuting the
SANDERS and calumnies heaped upon them !
by Mr.. BoUtelle, of Maine, in one Of his |
characteristic bloody shirt" speeches de- |
liyered to-day in the House Of Represen-
tatives. With only ten minutes. Viii b |
were gracefully yielded him by Mr.. /
Startngs, Of Alabama, Mr.. Marshall elo-
quently declared that as one who had /
followed the fortunes Of the Lost Cause,
a private in the ranks, he would stand
sponsor for his people that all the hopes
and fears. the sOrrOWs and the an
guish OF the days from 1861 10 1860, were
forever buried, and that now I'm voting
for the repeal Of the Federal election
laws, he only wished to consign 10 ever
lasting oblivion, the darker memories Of
the days Of reconstruction. Mr.. Marshall
was greeted with much applause and |
many congratulations by the Democrats
at the close Of his short effective speech.
During the speech Of Mr.. Boutelle he
quoted some scathing lines OF a poem
by James Russell Lowell. and said they
were written descriptive OF the Southern
rebellion" as he called IL. Professor
Everett, OF Massachusetts,, however took
all the wind out OF his sails. and threw
the House into roar. by reminding Nir.
Boutelle that the poem was written be-
fore the civil war, and alluded entirely 10
the Mexican war.
