THE MAEsHAIS or REPEAL.
Mr.. wolcott-I have been advised that there has
been consultation of Senator's going on for some
days We are advised that the Senator from
Rhode Island (Mr. Aldrch) is marshalling the

chamber and that on the other side of the cham

Mr.. German went on TO say that the extraordi-
nary treatment of the case on the other side had
of good faith the part of the supporters Of the
bill. but had gone to the extent of ndicting, or
Union, and to charge that he had used tho power
and patronage OF the Government for the purpose
not the mouthpiece or spokesman OF the President.
He knew nothing about the Presidents patronage,
nor Wished l it, But il was due to the President to
say that no man could have been more careful TO
good. If he might be criticised at ALL II would be
proper say that h had been so careful that he
had sea rcely done the party justice. He hoped ana
trusted that the Senate would come back and
speedily. to the unwritten law OF the body. which
was more binding than written rules. and would
remember that there was nothing to be compared
with the Importance Of preserTing me Senatf
cusson. and for final action without personalities.
