WASHINGTON, April &c. - Immedi-
ately after the reading of the journal in
the senate today Mr.. Jarvis, recently
appointed from North Carolina to sue
coed the late Sen tor Vance, was
sworn in.
Senator Aliens Coxey resolution
came up,and Mr. Allen stated that there
would be no opposition on the Demo-
cratic side to its passage.
Mr.. Vest, however, opposed the reso-
luton. These people should be treated
the same as all other citizens of the
United States. If they did not violate
any laws they would not be mOlested,
but he deprecated the introduction of
such resolution, because it intimated a
want of confidence in the inStitu-
tons and laws of the land. Their
right to come here and visit
the capitol was so plain, SO evident,
that any suspicion about it was
a reflection OH the intelligence of the
country. He was opposed to the pre-
amble. however, ii it meant TO include
these men who had trampled on the
laws, Injured private property and I'M
dertaken to secure transportation to
this city by force: of arms, for then he
emphaticaliy diSSented from it. He
declared that the men who were march
ing TO Washington would be protected
in their rights, but they would have to
learn to abide by the laws of the land,
and if congress for one instant compro-
missed with them it would open ere
vase which would end in a flood and
final destruction. If any one wanted to
come here. whether they were employed
or unemployed, 10 inspect the public
buildings and visit congress, their
rights would be respected; but when
they seized trains TO come Oh, when
they violated the laws of the country
and trampled on the rights of the people
congress ought not to treat with them.
wOLCoTT PROTESTS.
Mr.. Wolcott (Rep., CCl.) entered a
vigorous protest against passing the
resolution. He was at loss to under
stand the purpose of the resolution,
which did not change the law in any
respect, but simply extended crlnging
inVitatiOn TO those men calling them
selves unemployed, some OF whom were
coming by begging, some by their over
towering force, and some OH stolen
trains The only excuse for such law
less action as had been recently enacted
had been the nttpraices Of men in high
places holding office. Members of the
senate who haI spoken of seryile po-
lice force and paid soldiery seemed to
think it proper to denounce in the SEN
ate men sworn TO do their duty. 1t was
to be regretted that the governors of
certain states had been so unwise as to
urge men TO make a descent Oh the cap
ital of the United States. His own
state of Colorado had the misfortune to
have one of those governors whose an
tics had brough lit discredit and dshonOr
on his commonwealth and sullied her
fair name.
MIR. Wolc0tt said he was tired of deal
ing with these methods Of adminiStra-
ton. The times were out of JOINT, but
what made them SO might be attributed
to one cause or another. lie believed that
most OF the Elen i'll CoXel's army might
be honest, but they were led by men
who were cEGnks, insane or vicious.
But their n.eia0dS of righting the
wrongs of the Gf,@S could not result in
good; this could only come from the
natural beneticfnce OF mankind, which,
as the world grew better, made men
more humane and kind. There should
be no NAH suffering for bread in this
broad domain OF the United States who
