washington, April 26.-Immediately
after the reading Of the journal in the
Senate. Mr.. Jarvis, recently appointed
from North Carolina, TO succeed the
late Senator Vance, was sworn in.
Senator Aliens CoXey resolution came
IN. and Mr.. Allen stated there would
he no objection on the Democratic side
to its passage,
No Better Than Anyone Else.
Mr.. Vest however, opposed it. These
people should be treated 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, De-
cause it intimated a want Of confidence
in the institutions 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 reflection
on the intelligence of the country He
was opposed to the preamble, however.

had trampled on the laws, injured prl-

force of arms, for then he emphat-

the men who were marching to WASH
ington would be protected IN their
rights but they would have 10 learn

public buildings and visit Congress,

treat with them.
Molcotts Vigorous Protest.
Mr.. Wolcott, of Colorado, entered a
vigorous protest against passing the
resolution. He was at a loss to under
stand the purpose OF the resolution,
which did not change the law in any
respect, but simply extended crlnglng
innovation to those men calling them
selves unemployed, some of whom We're
