WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-The greatel
part of to-day's session of the Senatt
was occupied by Senator Stewart. Tht
Nevada Senator has become daily I'M
fiction. He resumed the TRADE of yes
terday against the President, and del
uged the Senate with the reading OF
copious extracts and clippings from
books and newspapers. Before Stewar
began Senator Quay inquired whethel
he proposed to continue his attack OF
the President under the guise of
speech OH the Repeal bill. Stewart re-
piled that he did not intend just then h
renew his criticism, as it was his pur'
pose to yield the floor to Mr.. Dubois
The inquiry of Mr.. Quay was lost
sight of in the colloquy that fol,
lowed touching the right of Stewart
to farm out the floor to Senators. Atten'
| ton was directed to the fact that Mr..
Stewart yesterday yielded to Mr.
Cameron, and Mr. Faulkner protested
against one man holding the floor and
disposing of it at pleasure. 1t wal
| finally decided by the chair that Mr.
Stewart had regularly obtained the fool
to-day on the Repeal bill, and was en-.
titled to proceed. Stewart having
yielded to Dubois, that gentleman in
turn yielded to Senator Perkins of Cali
fornia, who made a good speech in
favor of repeal. When Mr.. Perkins
concluded Mr.. Stewart again resumed
the floor, and his criticism Of the Presi{
dent. During his TRADE against tht
President for alleged attempts to infu'
ence Senators and Representatives by
the use Of Federal patronage, Senator
Palmer of Illinois, asked Stewart. To
name single instance in support OF hn
allegations.
An excited colloquy followed be-
tween the two men, Senator Palmer in
sisting that Senator Stewart should fur
nish the name of Senator who had
been approached or influenced by the
President in the manner alleged
Stewart shielded himself behind tho
statements of newspapers, and persist,
emily avoided the direct inquiry and
challenge of Senator Palmer. Hd
thought the fact that no denial had been
made by the President OF the newspa'
: pers' statements was sufficient to estab'
iish the truth of his charges. In an ex-
! cited manner he called for an investiga-
/ ton, but would not make a specific
charge upon which to base an investiga-
ton. He continued declaiming in his
usual reckless and ainless manner until
late in the afternoon, finally yielding
: the floor, after giving notice that ht
would continue his remarks upon q
q subsequent occasion.
Mr.. Morgan made brief speech in
reply to reference to MIN made by
n one of the newspapers read by Stewart
4 in which it was intimated that Morgan
: had quarreIed with the President. This
y was denied by Mr.. Morgan, who ex
4 planned that his relations with the Presi
v dent were of the most pleasant charac'
ter. He differed with the President OF
matters of policy, but there had been NJ
n change in their personal relations. Ill
: warmly defended the President agains
n the aspersions of Mr.. Stewart, and wa
|. followed by Senator Voorhees,, who ad
4 ministered stern rebube to the Nevad
- Senator for his unwarranted allegations
\ The daily effusions Of Mr.. Stewar
have become wearisome even to the ire
At coinage Senators, and they will, doubi
less, make an effort 10 induce him q
I, give the Senate temporary rest. Thes
!, gentleman fear their cause is being IN
n jured by Stewards regular TRADES, an
n unless they are checked the support
~ several of the Democratic Senators who's
sympathios are now with them will
withdrawn. Mr.. Stewart is 50 intensel
o moved by the apprehension that th
Il Repeal bill will pass that he appear
- - unable to restrain himself, and persist
~ in occupying the floor merely to cor
sumo time, and to the exclusion OF Sci
- ators who have not yet spoken on Il
| ltap he 81
- - Stewart has occupied tile major porto
y Of the time devoted to discussion, al
>, unless restrained, he will continue til
~ line of conduct. Although well a.
r. vanced in years, Mr.. Stewart is phys
", cally one OF the strongest men in IL
ID Senate, and is capable OF continuing h
~. ~ present efforts for an indefinite perio
=, The only preparation he makes is TO a
range newspaper clippings furnish'
a, him daily by clipping bureau. The
" he presists in reading, interspcrsing the
with running comments. His boast TIL
he can talk for 80 days will be ma,
-, good unless something is done to su
ii press him by those with whom he
NJ. M cooperating. There is no way TO
he this under the antiquated rules whit
no govern the Senate.
