AT this point in the reading Mr. Wolcott
intcrposed and said that, in his opinion, it
was in violation OF every canon of decency
and good taste for a Senator to have read
an irreSponsi BILE newspaper editorial,
breathing SANDER and abuse against a
brother Senator. But il any Senator did
think-s it fitting and wise and proper, he
should read it himself.
Il think it is entirely appropriate and
becoming Mr.. Hill replied, when a.
Senator read an article from a New York
newspaper yesterday attacking tile Presi-
dent of the United States and the Secretary
Of the Treasury, to have another article in
reference to the Senator himself i will

After finishing the reading Of the article
Mr. Hill asked where the Senator from
Colorado, Mr. Wolcott. was when the
Senator from South Dakota referred to
Senator Sherman as indufsiDg the plumber
of the people aad the robbery of the
Treasury.
Where was then, he continued, the SeDa-
tor when that coarse fling was made on
the floor OF the Senate and when an in
Sinuation was made that the President OF
tile United States had Sha red in the profits
of the bonds? His English friend from
Colorado Qaugbter) had not word to
say in regard to that
HE Defends said Mr.. Hill. passionately,
"Englishmen, English government, Eng
lish statesmen, English politicians. but he
has not one word to say in defense of the
President of the United States.''
Mr.. Hill next made an excursion into the
past issues OF bonds when Mr.. s Sherma n was
Secretary of the Treasury, and read with
great unction tele gram to President
HAYES from Morgan. Morton and Seligman
in London. He referred TO Mr.. Morton as
the present governor OF New York, and
until recently also the Republican candi-
date for a nomination to the Presidency.
"If." said he, 1.-THE lightning should strike

He was taken to the Receiving Hos
