ALLEN UNDER AHOT ATTACK
Senator's Score the Socialism Of
COXey'S COmmOnWealGTS.

Vest Starts the Speech Making and
woIcott Follows-Dolph Character
ICES the Resolution as a Slandsr on
congress-Allen Speaks in Defense
of Els Action.
Washington, April Gas soon as
Yesterdays journal was read Mr.. Ransom,
dem of North Carolina, notified the pre-
siding officer that Mr.. Jarvis, appointed
nv the governor of North Carolina to fill
the vacancy caUsen by the death of MIR.
Vance, and whose credentials had been
presented few days ago, was present
and ready to take the oath.
The Vice President thereupon re-
ouested the appointed senator to advance
and take the oath; and the new senator,
escorted by MIR. Ransom, went to the
secretary's desk and the oath was adj
minis,ered TO him. In taking it he held
nm his left hand, his right arm being dis
abled. He was afterward introduced by
Mr. Ransom to many of his democratic
asso iates. He is tall, courtly, dignifed
lo25ng gentleman, about % years of age.
His hair, whiskers and moustache are
white. with a stripe of badness running
along the center of his head. He was
faultlessly attired in black broadcloth.
The resolutions offered yesterday, by
Mr. Allen, pop, of Nebraska, asserting
The right of persons visiting Washington
to assemble peacefully and petition for
rplress of grievances was laid before the
Senate
VEST DEPRECATEs THE RESOLUTIONS.
Mr. Vest deprecated the introduction
of resolutions on that sub ect. 1t seemed
TO him that the persons alluded to had
bean treated like all other persons. If
they observed the laws they would be-
as matter of course, not molested by
The naval state or municipal authori-
ties, and if they violated the
laws they ought to be punished
He regretted that any one should
think there was any necessity
for either branch of congress to declare
the fundamental truths that were con-
tanned in the body of the resolution. 1t
minated a want of confidence in Ameri-
can Institutions and the eXl cution of the
law. which was much to be deploreu. If
his constituents came to the capital and
violated the law he should expect them 10
be punished That they had a right to
come Was so plain and unquestioued that
any suppositiOn in regard 70 il was a re-
Election on the intelligence and patriotism
Of the people of The whole country.
THE TRAIN STEALERS.
There was a statement IN the pream BILE
as to "uuarmed, lawabiding and peace
fully disposed, but unemployed citiz ems of
the United states" If the senator (Mr.
Allen meant by that to include the men
who had tramplcd on the law and seized
prlva e property and undertaken to secure
transportation to Washington by force
OF arms, then he Mr. Nest) had to dissent
from any such pro osition. Those who
had violated the laws would have to
abide by the consequences. That whole
issue, MIR Vest declared, must be met
right here and now We cannot, for one
instant, hesitate or falter. ] am not here
to make any profession of sympathy
with any particular class of the
American people. | have not in me one
drop of blood that would create the Il
slightest antagonlsm to any section or
class Of people, particularly TO those who
by force OF circumstances are now uuem-
q poyed. But they must learn to abide by
the law If this congress, for one single
instant, compromises the stern truth that
every cltl en- In this country must be
law abiding citizen, we commence a
creyasse in the Institutions of the country
winch will END In food and in our final
Instruction.
WOLCOTT IN LINE WITH VEST.
Mr. Wolcott rep, of Colorado, said: 81
am at loss to understand the purpose of
the introduction of this resolution, which
changes no existing law, but seems to ex-
tenu crlnging invitation to some thou
