Ono clauso of tho platform excited a long discussion.

\VA8!ii*nTo.f. Sept. 4.—At the morning session of the House during the atsence of tho Speaker, on motion of Mr. Cannon (111.), Mr. Hurrows (Mich.), was elected Speaker pro torn, and wok the chair amid applause from both sides.

Tho House then proceeded to tho further consideration of the ClaytonRrecklnrldgo case.

Mr. Kennedy his respects to Mr. Kennedy of the Claythe concluelectlon law He reflected

During the discussion (O.) took occasion to pay Senator Quay (Pa.). drew from the details ton-Iireekinrldgo case slon that a Federal should bo enacted. sovoroly upon the Senators who have boon opposed to the Lodge bill. For himself, confident in tho doctrines of the Republican party, fully committed to tho principles ot that party, he must forever dissent from the cowardly surrender which hauls down the flag and strikes the colors of the Republican party to a defeated foe. Continuing he said: "Tho cloak of Senatorial courtesy has been used to hlilo the Infamy and corruption which have dishonored anil disgraced a liody which was ouco the pvoudest t» the land. Tliu cloak ol Senatorial courtesy has Ijeeoine stench Id the nostrils and a by-wonl in the mouths of all honest citizens in the land. It makes a clonli behind which ignorant aDd arrogant wealth oan purchase lu* way to power, and then hldo ite cowardly head behind the shameless protection of Senatorial silence. It means cloak which shall covor up from the public gaze of an outraged people the Infamies which demand investigation and which merit the punishment of broken laws and violated statutes. It means a clonk behind which pet ty party blekerfngs may barter away a party's principles and play tbe demagogue in the fa:.• of the people. It means a cloak behind which pretended fairness hides its dishonest head while in secret It Is trading ond trafficking in the rights and liberties of the people. It means a cloak under which not only the timid but the cowardly politician can cover up his tracks and be either foul or fair us tho necessity demands. The hour for Senatorial courtesy has passed The ox-team of Senatorial progress must give wny to the niotor of a more enlightened and progressive and determined age. i.et the old and threadbare cloak of Senatorial courtesy lie hung up with the sickle ntitl the llall of a bygone day."

Referring to the betrayal of Christ by Judas, Mr. Kennedy said: "It WOB meet and tlttlng that Judas should be paid tne thirty pieces of silver It was still a part of the eternal fitness of tilings that, having been guilty of the basest crime nf all tho centuries, h- ,should go out and :.ang himself. History. Is rc peatlng Itself. The great party of the Reput) lie, huvlng lived for tnlrty-ilvo years, has never yet assisted in riveting the shackles on a human being, and now, when It was to be expected that it would redeem Its pledges and be faithful to Its history, It is ubout to prove false, and the repeated promises are not to be redeemed. "It comiM victorious from every Meld, und it It fails now it finds in its own party those who are fulthless to the trust reposed In them. lilt is to be cruel tied It is only because Its chosen leaders hove bartered away its principles for the tricks and petty schemes of politicians. Tho Judas Iscarlot of S.G.10 years ago is to find a counterpart in the Judas Iscariot of to-day. The Judus who took tho thirty pieces of sliver und wcut and hanged himself has left un example for tho Matt Quays that Is well worthy of their Imitation. "Some time sincc I stood iu ray place on this floor nnd denounced a Senator from a State b--cause, when charged with corruption and branded with Infamy, he did not arise tn his sent und demand an investigation and Inquiry that should establish the purity of his actions and his personal honor. One other occupying a high place In the councils of the party to which 1 belong has suffered himself month In and month out to bo charged with crimes and misdemeanors for which, If guilty, he should have been condemned under the law of his State and have hud meted out to him the fullest meastireof Us punishment. This man is a Kepubllcan: shall I now remain silent!' Is it Just nnd honest that I remain In my seat silent because one who Is accused of crimes ond refuses to seek for viudication la a Republican, and that Republican the recognlied leader of my party Neither decenoy nor honor would permit me to do so. I do not know whether the charges made against the chuirmnu of tbe National Republican Committee are true or false, but 1 do know tliut they huvc been made by Journals of character aud standlog, aguln atid ng^iti. und I do know thot In the face of these charges Matt Quay has remained silcnl. and has neither sought,nor attempted to seek opportunity to vindicate him solf of them. I do know that as a great Republican lender he owed it to the great party at whose head he was either to bruud them as infamies or Ui prove their falsity, or he owed It to thot party to stand aside from Its leadorsnlp. He hns not dODC either, and forties I denounce him. Tho Republican party can not alTord to follow tho lead of a branded criminal. He has failed to Justify himself, and though opportunity and ample time lime been given him he remains silent. "His silence under such circumstances Is the confession of guilt An honoruble man does not long dally when his honor Is assailed. Ho has delayed loo long to Justify the belief In his Innocence, and he stands a convicted criminal before the bar of public opinion. I'nder such circumstances hi- should be driven from tbe bead of a party whose very life his presence Imperils. Tbe Kcpubllciui party has dono euuugh for I:-' pretended leader. Let hiui be relegated to the rear. It Is no longer a question of his vindication It Is now a question of the life of the party Itself."

Mr. Crisp iGu.) gave notice that bo would at the proper time move to recommit the pending resolutions, with Instructions to tho committee on elections to ascertain whether Mr. Rreeklnridge or Mr. Clayton received a majority of the votes cast, at the election.

The Rreckinridge case went over anil tho House adjourned. SKN'ATIC.

Senator lvlmonds (Vt) spoke on tho reciprocity proposition, lie said If duties aro to be removed there should lie a demand for reciprocal action on the part gf countries whoso products aro aVmitted free by this action. Uo called attention to the fact that when the duly on coffee was removed from 13null it obtained all the benefit

of that act by establishing an export duty of equal amount oil coffee. IJo doubted the propriety of removing the duty on sugar but If this Is to lie .lone ho thought a reciprocal demand ought to be eotiplnd with It

As to reciprocity with Central and South America, Senator Kdmnnds said that the demands of a country for commodities did not depend us much upon numbers as upon tho stato of Its society, its wealth and Its civilization. When he looked at any Central American or South American Stato ho thought —speaking with reserve and conservatism—that any ltiO average people in North America had during the last year consumed more of the products, merchandise, food that go to make fort and luxury of mankind than erago people in American States.

tho Central or South Therefore tho expectJ".

atlon of the I'nited States being able to dispose of a large increase of its products there was. in his opinion, one of tho greatest illusions that brilliant men or sober statesmen had lately fallen into, lie did not mean by that, however, that he wus not willing and glad to try it on the plan of receiving any of the products of those countries which the United States did not produce and giving to them products which they did not produce.

Senator Morgan (Ala.) addressed tho Senate in support of the amendment heretofore proposed by him as a substitute for Senator Aldricli's reciprocity amendment. It provides for a duty of three per cent ad valorem on corn, wheat rye, barley, oats, hav, straw, potatoes, cotton, live domestic animals and on asses, mules" and horses and that when any of such articles are exported a premium of 3 per cent shall be paid on their value to the owner.

Senator Voorhees (Ind.) addressed tho Senate. Tho tariff bill, Uo said, was full of nuggets of gold for tho manufacturers, but was as barren of fruit for tho poor man as the tree that was'cursed by the Saviour.

Senator Gray (Del.) complimented Senator Ualu (Me.) on bis amendment, which meant nothing less than absolute freo trado throughout the western hemisphere, from tho Arctic ocean to Cape Horn—including Cuba, I'orto Rico, and (if necessary) Canada-

Senator Hale corrected the statement as to Canada, and said that he had never had any intention of including that country.

Recess. There was but a small attendance of Senators at tho ovcnlng session, which was mainly occupied fiy Senator Pierce (S. D.) in a speech advocating the idea of reciprocity.

Tho Senate at 0:4r adjourned. INTICl'.NATION U. AfttllTUATION. WASHINGTON, Sopt 4.—The President sent to tbe House Wednesday afternoon a letter from the Secretar}* of State, accompanied by reports adopted by the Pan-American congress, relatr lng to tbe subject of international arbitration. Secretary Rlalne in his lotter says tho conference adopted three reports: Recommending ti definite plan of arbitration for tho settlement of differences between the Ameri^au nations recommending the adoption of a similar plan by the nations of Europe declaring that tho right of conquest could not bo recognized by the American Nation.
