WAB3I TALK IN THE SENATE

: The Chandler Isolation as to the Late Louisiana Election Come3 Up, i And an Anjrj Colloquy Follows, In Which ' 3Ie$sra. Chandler, Coke and Palm?r Exchange Unparliamentary Remarks. "Washington, Sept 27. The chair was occupied to-day by ?.lr. Manderson, by designation of the presiding oflicer, Sir. In calls. The Ilonse .amendment to the Senate bill appropriating ?10O,00O in aid of the yellow fever sufferers dhtj In? been laid before the Senate, Mr. Edmunds t laid that ha had examined it, and was very ) much afraid that it misted the point aimed at .'in the bill that was, the capacity to use any of j tha money in aid of those who were sick, in dis tress, and in danger of starvation, as the newspapers reported, from day to day, ao many to fbe. In the hope, therefore, that tomethine bet ter aonld be dona, ha moved that tha Senate tor a conference. So ordered, i Mr. Call offered a resolution instructing the I committee on epidemic diseases to consider and report before the adjournment of this session of Congrats such additional Initiation at may be necessary end useful to prevent the importation cf contafi-ioas or infectious diseases from foreign countries on the coasts or boundaries of the United States, and to prevent and suppress it in interstate commerce, and for the subsistence cf euch persona as may be detained by the public authorities. In connection with it he read a letter Iron Major Hewitt, cf New York, iueloainpcne received by Mr. Hewitt from Mr. Van Hook, of Florida. Mr. Hewitt sueeesta to Mr. Call that the latter should introduce aome resolution that would lead to action before Conpress adjourns. The subject was one (the letter said) which interested every part cf the United States, and particularly the citv of New York. That city was subscribing liberally for the relief of Florida sufferers, but was powerless, except by local quarantine,- to prevent the spread of contagion. The remedy ought to be applied in places where the fevor existed and on a system ao comprehensive as to assure the country that ererr practicable effort is made to Stamp out the disease. The motion went over till Monday. Mr. Sherman, from the committee on foreign rotations, reported back, without any recomznendttion, the resolution offered by him for an icqoiry aa to the state of the relatione between the United States and Great Britain And the Dominion of Canada, and it was placed on the calendar. The conference report on the sundrr civil appropriation bill was presented and agreed to. The resolution offered by Mr. Chandler for an inquiry as to the last Louisiana election inrol? id? the choice of United State Senators Was taken op. Mr. Oibaon said that he was ncder the imtression tbattbe American people wrrelired of ueh unconstitutional and revolutionary modes to revive the relations between tae people of tee fctites and the federal government. This resolution arraiened ha would not aay a 'sovereign State," because that term was offensive in these modern times, but an tndestruetible State because the States bad beea so characterized by the Supreme Court of tbs United Statei. What, he asked, was tfce occasion of the resolution so formidable iu in scope, so comprehenaire, and so fatal (if well-founded), to one cf the eommoa wealths of the -Union? There had not been a single petition presented from a citizen cf that State informing the Senate that he had a grievance of any kind which the Son ate might redress. There was cot a complaint from any tart of that State asking the Senate to protect then in their rights, political sr civil. Criticising the course cf Mr. ChandUr'in Teadms before the Senate private letters and newspaper extracts assailing the people of Louisiana, Mr. Gibson said be "would rather be a doz and bay the moon" than make himself the scavenger or medium by which base impulses and neighborhood feuds and difficulties of his countrymen in any State could be brought into such an aopcetbody. He presumed that the resolution was part of political programme. It it could convey craticat:on to the heart of any Senator, or if any Senator felt that .it would convey gratification to his constituents, or wonld aid the political party to which he belonged, he was welcome to it. For one, he Mr. Gibson did not know cf any recompense great enough to induee hi in to inaugurate an indictment against the decency, the Christianity, the civilization, the pood character f his fellowcitizens of New KanpIiire. He should feel impelled, aa a Sesator and a pea tie man. to interpose his arm and voice against any party who assailed the Stale of New Hampshire in inch a violent, revolutionary, thoughtless, reckless and unscrupulous maoner. Mr. Chandler replied to Mr. Gibson. That Senator had said that the conservative people of the country were weary of inquiries into the affairs of Southern States. He Mr. Chandlsr did cot so understand the temper of the American people. He believed that "what they were weary of were the frauds, the murders of legal raters that were coins on In the South in order to maie that section solid and to enable it to govern the North and tne country. As to the statement of Mr. Gibson ,that he would interpose to prevent such an investigation in Now Hampshire. Mr. Chandler said that when evidence was presented to the Senate of wholesale frauds and widespread mnrdera resorted to in the State of New Hampshire to prevent the Democrats of that State from voting at any election, the Senator from Louisiana might in terpose; but no such interposition would ever be required. The Senator, he s&id, , dealt entirelv in ganeralities and did not f I-ee the specific facts. The charge was that the outrages and murders of colored people in Louisiana and other Southern States were conlaittsd for political reasons. They were net sporadic in their nature. They were part of a . widespread, deliberate system of political acticn on the part of the Democratic party, in order itaat the control of Congress and of the presidency might be wrongfully and criminally ; transferred from the party to which an honest and fair, and free election would give it to another party, which could only obtain it by such frauds and violence as were now patent to the whole Nation. Mr. Chandler quoted from private lettera and from newspaper publications in proof of the frequent occurrence of outrages in Louisiana, including the disarming of colored people; and hecallsd particular attention to the Utter branch of the subject. Without a law to the contrary-rand he doubted whetber such a law could be enacted every citizen, he said, . black or white, North and South, bad the right to 'have a gun and to keep it for defense of his home; and it eould cot be taken from him without a violation of a natural right, and, as , he believed, of a constitutional right. He declared that the colored people ot Louisiana would retain their arms in spite of white leagues, or Ku-klux ruffians, and of all the gamblers, thugs, tbieres and villians wha bad been organized in the interest of the Democratic party, and especially in the interest cf the Senator from Louisiana. In the course of the discussion which ensued, Mr. Butler asked Mr. Edmunds if he wonld hold that either House of Congress had the right to make an investigation, cf its own motion, iu the absence of some protest, or memorial, cr complaint from somebody in the Seoata? Mr. Edmu't i L moat decidedly do. It ia the business of Cocgre83to interferewhether silence or protest comes from the State affected because it is not only the welfare of the people of that State, but it is the welfare cf the people of every part of the Nation that is involved. The discussion then drifted from outrages in the State of Louisiana to cutraees in Texas; and in this discussion prominent parts' were taken by Senator Chandler, Blair, Spooner, Reagan and Coke. The most notable incident In the argument was the fact of Mr. Coke being ealled to order fr unparliamentary language directed acainst Mr. Cbandler. Mr. Coke's violation of the rules of order consisted in his denouncing the statement that the Republican party of Texas bad failed to put a S'ate ticket in the field because it was afraid of personal consequences, as "absolutely and unqualifiedly false; without a particle of f oondation; made for political effect; with a dishonest and unfair purpose;" and he added: ''It la a statement not belisved by the Senator himself who makes it." On being called to order by Mr. Chandler, Mr. Coke promptly f.iid: "Mr. President, if I have said anything derogatory to the dignity of the Senate, I take it tack and apologize for it" Mr. Chandler I do not know how far the Senator is at liberty to say that a statement made by another Senator is unqualifiedly false, or that it is made for dishonest and unworthy purposes. If that bo the purpose cf the Senate, and be according to parliamentary role, I do not object to it. I am just as re&dy to engage in that kind of debate, probably, t3 any Senator on the other side. But it seems to me that the Senator cannot afford to indulge in that kind cf debate. The Presiding Officer Mr. Mandersonl The Chair holds that tbs language used by the Senator from Texas is unparliamentary; but the Chair understood the Senator to say that be withdrew his remarks and tendered an apology. Mr. Coke That is what I did say. The Presiding; Officer The Senator from Texas will proceed in order. Mr. Coke The Senator from New Hampshire IMr. Chandler seems to be anxious that somebody on this side of the chamber should kick him. I refuse to perform the operation. Mr. Coko TTM promptly calloi to order an&

was required to take his seat, while the presiding officer ruled that his language was not warranted by parliamentary law. "Then, said Mr. Coke. "I withdraw the language and apologize to the Senate for having used it." Mr. Coke then proceeded to argue, and to support his argument by newspaper publications, that the failure of the Ilepublicau party of Texas to nominate a State ticket was not the result of the apprehension of personal consequences, but of the sure conviction that such a ticket could not succeed. In conclusion, he excused himself for "threshing old straw," and said that the matter seemed to be kept on tap, to be used on every occasion. ''The allegations." be continned, "made acaicst the people of Texas are infamous slanders infamous slanders and falsehoods, and such as should never have been heard in the American Senate." Mr. Spooner replied to Mr. Coke. That Senator had informed hiin.be said.thatasuppression of the truth was as bad as a falsehood. He was not to be tan n ted by the Senator from Texas with half telling the truth. The day when "the manner of the nigger-driver" frightened men in the United States Senate had gone by, and gone by forever. Applause in galleries, which was rebuked by the Chair. The Senator from Texas had recently said: "Let us alone. All that we want is to be let alone." All that we want, said Mr. Spooner, with much vehemence of manner, is that which we are entitled to have; and that is that every man in the United States who is entitled, under the Constitution of the United States, to exereise the right of American citizenship whetber he lives In Texas, in Louisiana or in Wisconsin shall do so undisturbed and undismayed. Bloody shirt? We are cot talking about the war. This is current natter; this it something which is happening now. Yon referring to Southern Senators) filled the land with graves. That is all forgiven. The country is represented in almost overy public ofice abroad by men who served against our flag dnring the war. We make no complaint of it. We do not like it, and we will try to prevent a recurrence cf it. The only men I know of who have not accepted the results of the war are our friends of the South. It is not the people cf the North. One of the results of the war was that the negro, of proper age, should have the right to vote. The South has deprived him of that right. The vote of the Southern liepublicaos has disappeared. The negro has ceased to east his vote. Has he become a Democrat? Nobody can pretend it. Has he grown weary of it? Who so wild as to claim that? Thirteen volumes of testimony taken by Congress contain an explanation of it. And Senators say that tbers is peace in those Southern States. Tney make a solitude, and call it peace." How long is this to last! The Senator from Mississippi LMr. Georcsi told the Senate the other day, in substance, that the white race, the superior race, would not yield to the dominion of the black race. That is what we are told to-day by tne Senator from Texas Mr. Coke), and by the Senator from Louisiana (Mr. Gibson. What does that mean? It means that the right of tbe negro to vote is to be nullified wherever his vote would override that cf the whitca in a vicinage. I do not know how long the people of the North will stand it; but I undertake (o f ay that they will not stand it always. The discussion took another turn toward personalities when Mr. Coke Intimated that be had letters in bis possession, which be would not use, connecting tbe Senator from Wisconsin with evictions in the State of Iowa that would parallel iu atrocity the. worst ejacttneota that bad ever taken place in Ireland. The explanation of the matter given by Mr. Spooner waa that be bad argued, in tho'SuDmrae Court of tbe United States, a casa of overlapping lands bstween two railroad companies, and bad never had anything to do with the matter afterwards. Ho knew nothing of the evictions alluded to, but be would say and would endeavor to keen within parliamentary bounds in raying it that "the man, outside of this chamber, who state 3 that I, as counsel or owner, directly or indirectly, in any way whatever, was ever instrumental in turning any man, woman or child from his land or from Lis cabin, whetber a quarter section or a quarter acre, i3 a liar. I say that of any man who makes that charge outiiJe of

this Senate chamber. Coming back to the same question acain Mr.fc. Spooner said: "While 1 regard the Senator' I fMr. Coko'sl attempt to bring me personally in to disrepute as of a character which, outside of the Senate. I would denominate differently from what I do here, I want to say to him that he is part, as I have been informed (after a pause) I will not say it." Mr. Coke defiantly Say it. Mr. Spooner I have discussed this case on its merits. I will not go into personalities in this Senate chamber. At this point Mr. Butler interposed with a motion to adjourn, and the Senate adjourned till Monday. ' I'rocertflngs of the Xlouse. Washington, Sept. 27. Immediately after the reading of the journal, the House, on motion of Mr. Burnes, of Missouri, adopted the conference repcrt on the sundry civil appropriation bill.

CULMXGS FltOM THE COURTS.

Horace It. IZ'.llm Would Itather Have Ills Child Thau a Divorce Decree. Horace IJ. Ellis ia now sure of getting a divorce from his wife, Msmie, who left the city with their only child, hut he thinks he would rather have the child back than a divorce decree. Judge Walker, as nn administrator of the law, is also anxious to have the child returned to its father, and says he will find it if it takes him twenty years to do so. In accordance with instructions from hU court, officers are making a search for the missing woman and tbe child, and there 1m a belief that they will be found in Ohio, where Mrs. Ellis has relatives. Those who have the case in charge believe that Mrs. Stevens and ber husband know where the woman and the child are, and that they also know the man who is supposed to have gone with Mrs. Ellis. They have been asked to tell all they know about the matter, and if they refuse they may be cited to court for contempt. Mr. Ellis yesterday hied a cross-eomplaint to his wife's complaint, setting forth ber conduct for several months past, and relating the circumstances under which she kidnaped the child. Dlttlmores Again la Court. Mrs. Mary A. Dittimore has appeared in the Superior Court as an applicant, a third time, for a divorce from her husband, John W. Dittimore. The case has been paraded in court until it has become notorious. Two or three years ago she first made an application for a decree, but when the ease came to trial It was given to Dittimore on a cross-complaint The parties lived apart for a few months and then remarried. A year ago Mrs. Dittimore again made application for a divorce, but after a long and somewhat sensational trial before Judge Taylor tbe decree was refused. Mr. Dittimore haa a large amount of money and property, and the evidence brought out in the trial showed that the money in tbe family was the disturbing element. In the present suit Mrs. Dittimore alleges cruel treatment on tbe part of her husband. She saya he is an unfit man to have the custody of their only child, and asks the court to give it into ber keeping. An important para graph in tbe complaint l the one in which there is a, demand made for $10,000 alimony. In asking for tbe amount Mrs. Dittimore alleges that ber husband is worth not less than $50,000. The demand for money does not stop at $10,000, but there is a request made that Mr. Dittimore shall pay into court $300 to be used by the plaintiff as attorney fees. They Ask for Damages. Two of the women injured in tbe recent wreck on the Fair-laud, Frankliu & Martinsville railroad, a branch of the C, I., St. L. A- C, have made a demand in court for a total of $15,000, on account of the injuries they received. The women who bring the suits are Molly Kobinius and Pauline Morgan, both residents of Indianapolis.' Mr. Itobinius received several brnires from wbicn she fears,sho will never fully recover. Sho asks for $5,000. Mrs. Morgan' injuries were more serious, bee was sick at the time the accident charred, and wants $10,CC0 damages. Did Nut Get Heady In Time. James II. Kerrbas brought suit against Julios Rothschild for $000 darascoj on account of alleged violation of contract. According to Mr. Kerr's complaint he had arranged to open a store on Washington street, and bargained witn the defendant for forniture, which was to be placed in position before tbe opening cf the State fair. The fnrnitore, it is alleged, did not cone until the fair was closed, and Mr. Kerr thinks the violation of contract caused him to lose at least $500. aa be would have reaped a harvest during the progress of the fair. Uefore the B ley or. u1 Harrison ana Lyman .Merrick, charged with stealing clothing from John Pfaff and James II. Dean, at No. Ill Last Washington street, were before the Mayor yesterday morning, and committed to jail for grand jury actios. Merrick says llarrison did the etealing, while tha latter places the responsibility on Merrick. The preliminary bearings of aranel Waters and Sirs. Anna Myers, charged with larceny, were postponed. IleleasoU on Uall. Thomas 31. Uruelle and others, arrested on the charge of criminal libel, have given bond in, the sum of J2C0 each.

AFFAIRS OF TUB RAILWAYS. Personal, Local and State Notes. The Cincinnati, Wabsh & Michigan people state that they have not abandoned their Ruehvillt extension, and work will be commenced in the early spring, at furthest. Stock of tbe Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Lonis & Chicago road sold yesterday at 91, and friends of the road are confident it will reach par before the year closes. The Wells-Fargo Express Company are establishing offices at numerous points in the Middle States, and show a disposition to make a strong tight for business against the other old companies. The Vandalia company now contemplates enlarging its system of tracks west of tbe rier, so as to do net only through business in the outer yards, but handle a Urge portion of the local cars there. The projectors of the Elaora & Richmond rc.Ad expect to commence construction work next wt et. It ia understood that the Mackey syndicate will furnish the money. Tbe road is to be built first-class in every respect. Tie relations between the Pennsylvania Company and the Louisville, New Albany & Chie&go road are much more harmonious of late, and, with a better maintenance of rates, its passenger business is showing good results. Gineral Passenger Agent Edwards, of the Quenn & Crescent route, expects to start passenger traics for New Orleans to-day. Fortucatelf for that road, not one of the towns or cities on tbe route is affected by yellow fever. A. D. McLeod, general freight agent of the Cincinnati, Sandusky & Cleveland, states that freight traffic on this road is 50 percent heavier than for the corresponding period last year, and the increase cf passenger earnings is highly satisfactory. Indications are that the shipments of blockcoal from Clay county, Indiana, will for September exceed those of September, 18S7, by 500 cars, and shipments from mines on the Indianapolis 6c Vincennes road are much heavier than last year. Superintendent Hill, of the Vandalia, has given orders that Xo. 20 shall not mske up any lost time. The train, as now scheduled, runs forty-six miles per hour, stops to be deducted, which is three miles per hour faster than the Pennsylvania line hauls the same train. The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton people have raa'le arrangements with the Pennsylvania Company to us a milo of its track through the city of Piqua, O. The C. II. & D. will now run rasseuger trains through Piqua as a mam line, and freight trains over the old main traclc. The business of tha Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton and the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago bas increased 33 per cent, since the C. II. fc D. commenced fending its Chicago business via Indianapolis, and the passenger men claim that this business is carried at full tariff rates. It is said that new parties are to take hoM of the Indiana & Illinois Southern, and push it throusn to 'Columbus, Ind. So often have such tatesments been made that this talk can be taken with some caution. From Switz City to Columbus, Ind, it would lo a Terr expensive; road to build. C. C. Waite. vice-rreMdent and general maneger of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, says that the new carers know more about his resignation than he does; still, be will cot deny that he has such step in contemplation. His health, however, at present, is better than It bas boen for many years. Passenger earnings of the Cincinnati. Indf. acapolU & Chicago road for September will be the largest cf any Seotember io the history of the road. In September, 1S37. the earnings reached $37,000, and it was considered a remarkable showing, but this yesr General Passenge Agent Egan thinks they will roach $100,000. Tbe Louisville, Xow Albany & Chicago people, should the City Council give tbetn the right to parallel the tracks cf the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chicago road within the city limits, will probably locate their freight depot on the grounds now occupied by Cobom Ac Jones's lumber-yard that is, if the ground can be bought at reasonable figures. An employe on the Indiana Midland road states that five months' wages are doe to a large per cent of the explore on the road, and they are Uiseorc'.cg cr.its nnrasr over the matter, notwith standing the fsct tnat Harry Crawford sayg I th road is in shape to pay all its debts. Probv ably the earnings of tbe next three months will enacie me management to onng up mese arrearages. C C. Waite states that he is one cf the com mittee appointed by the Central Traffic Association to see where the expenses ot the association could be cut down, bnt the reporttbat Chairman Blanrhard had demanded that his salary be advanced to $24,000 a year Is without the least foundation. Could Mr. Blanchard be induced to rtnain as chairman, the question cf salary could be easily settled. The passenger rate war between the Pennsylvania and the Bee-lino is attracting a good deal of attention in railroad circles, aud is greatly deplored by railroad meu, who fear that when two powerful lines like these engage in a war on rates it will be much more difScuit hereafter to handle the less important llne, as the general passenger r.gents of those lines will say tiist tbey are simply copying after roads which have advantages which they, the less important lines, do not possess. Indications are that President In calls is to make as much of a success in hsndlicg the Chesapeake & Ohio property as he bas done in handling the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St Louis & Chicago roal When he took bold of the C & O. roal the stock was quoted at G, and it is now up to IS. and the bonds of tbo road are sought for by capitalists. He is placing the property in excellent physical condition and purchasing new equipments to meet the expected increase in business. AGRICULTURE AND MANUFACTURING An Earty Appreciation of the Democratic Movement Toward Free Trade. Agriculture is the basis of prosperity, but it is nothing more; and, if history is to be credited, no purely agricultural country ever became wealthy. The reasons for tnis are that many of the products of the farm are vastly increased in value by passing through the hands of the manufacturer, and other farm products command good prices only when a large percentage of the people are engaged in other pursuits than farming. The true secret of national or sectional prosperity lies, therefore, in maintaining a true equilibrium between the farming and manufacturing classes and interests. It is important that this fast should be kept before toe farmers, because for want of knowledge on this subject prejudices have existed and antagonisms arisen, which were burtful to the country, retarding its material progress. Many farmers regard a protective tariff as a tax on them in the interest of manufacturers. This is nn imperfect and hence an incorrect view of the matter. It is true that the first effect of a tariff on foreign goods is to raise the price. That is one of the purposes of a protective tariff. But if the price ia raised to a point that will enable our own people to produce the same class of goods at a fair profit, borne competition wonld keep tbe price from reaching an extravagant figure, if foreign competition did not, and the increased demand for farm products to supply our home manufacturers with raw materials and food would put the farmer on a level with the manufacturer in tbe way of benefits arising from tbe protective tariff. John Boll asks cs to open our ports to his products free of tariff dutieu. He says: If you would do that tbe American farmer could buy Engtieh goods at cost and carriage. " "How long would you sell us your goods at a fair price. Cousin Johnr "We would do so until we had broken down every manufacturing establishment in your country, and then we would demand the most extravagant prices, and you would be oblige a to Day them." That is the answer he would give if he spoke the truth. In a recent speech in the British Parliament, Lord Goodrich said: "Other nations know, as well as the noble Lord opposite, that what we mean by free trade is nothing more nor less than that, by means of the great advantages we enjoy, to get the monopoly of all these markets for onr manufacturer?, and to prevent them, one and all, from ever becoming manufacturing nations. The policy that France acted upon was that of encouraging its native manufacturers. It was a wise policy; because if it were to freely admit our manufacturers, it would speedily be reduced to an agricultural nation, and therefore a poor nation." These are plain words and true, which the American farmer should ponder. There is something very pleasant and euphonious about the compound word "free-trade." It smacks of reform and fair dealing. To those who look at it only casually, it bas a most charming aspect, but its cbarms are the charms cf the harlot, and its song the song of the syren. This article is from the pen of Dr. T. A, Bland, of Washington, D. C, and was written for the Southwestern (cow tas Indians) Farmer,

of Indianapolis, of whleh he was the founder. It appeared in that paper as an editorial on Oct. 1, lbC7, which indicates that even at that earlf day tbe present Democratic movement toward free trade was anticipated. A Tariff Not! Tex. !iew York Mall and Express. Here are some illustrations of the fact that protected goods grow cheaper. Before there was a protective tariff on salt it sold for 40 cents a bushel; it is now selling for 8 eents a bnsbel. In 1SC7 the price on a ton of steel rails was $1GC; now steel rails can be bought for from $28 to $30 a ton. In 1875 plate glass sold for OS cents a foot, and now it sells for 33 cents. When the country had a low tariff pig-iron sold for about $31 a ton; now the price is $18. Pottery has gone down one-half. We use a good deal of soda ash in this country for making glass and for bleaching. In 18S4, when we imported it, tbo price was $18 a too. A doty of & a ton waa imposed upon it. and the price bas fallen to $23 a ton. The duty on a square yard of calico is 4 J cents, more than the wholesale price of the cloth. Here is a statement about a pair of fivepound blankets which will be interesting to most of our readers: Cost:n England $4.45 Duty 4.23 Customs fees 65 " 59.35 American blankets of the same weight, if the free-trade theory ia correct, should cost the consumer 9.35, bnt tbe trouble is that they do not; for a pair of American blankets weighing fire pounds can be bought for $5.20. It ia not even true that tbe consumer pays tbe duty on foreign goods that be purcbae. A large part of that is paid by the foreign producer in order that Lis goods may compete witb tbe American product. What the foreigner wants is the rich and generous market of this country, and that ia precisely what our protective tariff has given to tbo American manufacturer and workiogman.
