At l o'clock there was a pleasant di-
version for the spectators in the gal
/; leries, when the senate, on Allison 5
motion, in order to inaugurate the
legislative day of Saturday, adjourned
till 1870 p. N. The spectators had a
| glimpse. of parliamentary fiction.
Three minutes later the senate re-
| convened.

he would not ask the senate TO set
aside the time for the delivery of trib-
utes to the memory of the late Judge
Holman, but he gave notice that early
in the next session he would ask the
senate to do so.
Mr.. Morgan -(Ala.) then took the
floor. His purpose, he said, was to ad-
dress himself 10 a grave question of
law, practice and policy involved in
the adoption of the pending conference
report.
There was a short debate between
Senators Morgan and Allison as to the
omission Of the proposed tax on stocks
and bonds, while Mr.. Stewart (Nev)
inveighed against the iniquities of the
tariff burdens and benefits.
