Terro Haute came over, "which gave the IndiLiiapolis railroaders another opportunity to turn out ono thousand strong. In fact, about this time nobody took any notice of a procession or delegation that courted less than that number. On the 8th of August, Tippecanoe and Yanderbnrg counties came represented by large delegations. Several mall delegations came next, followed on the 14th by thousands from Hamilton county, this State, and Mason and Douglas counties, Illinois; on the 15th, .Rush, Decatur and Delaware counties came; on the 16th delegations from Kankakee and neighboring counties in Illinois, from Beliefontafne, O., and Johnson and Bartholomew counties being the last delegations previous to the General's departure for Middle Bass island, in Lake Erie. He enjoyed comparative quiet during his brief stay, but his coining and going were occasions of the most enthusiastic greeting all along his Eoute of travel. On his return, Sept. 4, ho ad a royal welcome home, .the people by thousands greeting him with every manifestation of pleasure, and two days later an immense local demonstration took place, more than ten thousand men passing in review before General Harrison and General Hovey. . After this, delegations of soldiers, IrishAmericans, German-Americans, etc., camo on to greet the Bepublican standard-bearer. There were delegations from Kentucky, and even from far-away Kansas. On Sept. IS Chicago sent a large number of commercial travelers to visit the General, and four thousand Ohio and Indiana Kepablicans united in a hearty and enthusiastic greeting, the Ohioans coming from Dayton and the Indianians for the most part from Randolph and Jay counties, and on the 25th Wabash and Parke counties marched in. On the 2Cth there came about four thousand from Tipton and Elkhart counties, Indiana, and Columbus, O. On the following day a good-sized delegation came in from Ohio, from Lima and vicinity. The month of October visitors continued to come by thousands, but the high-water mark as to daily and continuing numbers had been reached and passed, though the remarkable enthusiasm continued up to the eve of election, not only from counties in Indiana, but other States, Ohio as late as Oct. 22 sending over the white plug hat brigade of Springfield, two thousand strong. Thursday, Oct. 11, has been noted as the greatest day that Indianapolis had ever seen. That was the day upon which Mr. Blaine was here, and the outpouring of zealous and enthusiastic Republicans was wonderful. A brilliant procession of many thousands passed in review before General Harrison and Mr. Blaine, at least on hundred thousand people taking part in the gTeat events of the demonstration, i ce last parade of the Kepublicans, a turnout of local clubs, was on Saturday, Nov. i, with nearly 10,000 men in line. The joy of Republicans over the election of General Harrison was characterized by sleepless exuberance, being literally kept up day and night. Following the election it rained every day for three or four days, but nothing could dampen the ardor or quench the rejoicing of the victorious ReSublicans. The evening of Saturday, ov. 10, had been fixed upon for a jubilation, notwithstanding tho fact that everybody had been jubilating from the time the returns begin to come in from the election. But the rain had been o constant that it was determined to give up the Saturday night parade, and it was abandoned. Still the rejoicing kept up, and up and down the streets by hundreds and thousands marched the rejoicing crowds, while the blowing of horns was unbroken from early morning until midnight, with brass bands as thick as counts in Italy, and cannon and fire-crackers to add to the din. By this time, however, the election had gone by a week, and the fact that Indiana and Indianapolis would furnish the successor to Grover Cleveland was reasonably assured. From that time forward, until this morning, the callers npon General Harrison have not been as numerous as before his election.

iney nave been public men ana politicians, business men representing great Commercial interests and with all manner of suggestions. But tho President-elect is a maxv of robust constitution. Ho hag lrved through it all and is on his way to Washington, from where the Nation will soon hear of his policy and the begining of an administration from shlehthe people know will come prosperity and honor for tho country. TvEXTvJrKSTtESS OF THE WHITE nOUSE. Sirs. Harrison's Accomplishments and Her Fondness br Art. Mrs. Harrison will be' missed in the social circles of the city. Sho is one of the most cordial of hostesses. To watch her receive guests whom she has never seen, who walk in at the ever-open door and introduce themselves, one would drop tho link of introduction and believe Mrs. Harrison had known her visitors well before, and all is accomplished with so much grace and tact that not only the newcomer, but the beholder is charmed. Mrs. Harrison is not a society star, nor does she aspire to that role; and while she can entertain, her habits and preferences are for a domestic life. Many a time since the rush of visitors began has she left work in the kitchen and gone to the parlor, ner desire to keep her household arrangements running smoothly, and to do her duty to the public as well, was more wearing to her than her multiplicity of household, church and social duties had ever been before, and many solicitous friends feared she would be seriously ill before she went to the White House. Considering the several phases of housekeeping as accomplishments, Mrs. Harrison is a very accomplished woman. There is no branch of housekeeping that she does not thoroughly understand, and none that she can not do if occasion demands. Tho arts of cooking, pickling and preserving, as vell as sewing, she comprehends. One of her accomplishments, which she greatly delights in. is painting. She is a skillful artist, and her painting on china eqnals the best done by professionals here. She has studied with various teachers. She is as enthusiastic in her art as can be, and was instrumental in forming a class, of which she was one member. She did not secure a teacher and leave it entirely to others to attend to, but. until her time was so crowded by "visitors, hhe worked in the studio. She does not intend to let this pleasure of painting he entirely neglected while living in Washington, but among her carefully packed articles are her accoutrements of art. Sho has already planned for the better preservation of the many badges, not only of this campaign, but those of 1840, which have been sent to General Harrison . and herself to make a quilt, not a crazy patch by any means, but a carefully-arranged souvenir of their experience of 1S8S. All the details of packing for removal have been arranged by ner, and in the intervals between callers, for notwithstanding the word was givf n that callers could not be received, many have not hesitated to go. The house will be left in order for Mr. and Mrs. Hervey Bates, who will take it during their absence. It is not the intention of either Mrs. Harrison or Mrs. McKeo to remain away for the entire time, but they have promised themselves the pleasure of returning many times to the old home which is so dear to them, and were it not for the fact that tho whole familv accompanies them to Washington, wnere they will still be united, the leaving of the Indianapolis home would be a much sadder one. Visitors to the General. Among the arrivals of yesterday at the residence of the President-elect wero Russell B. Harrison and wife and ex-Senator Alvin Saunders and wife, of Omaha, Neb., who are to go with the General to Washington, of Dallas, Judge A. Tex., who B. Norton, has been Whig and a meinocr of many Republican national conventions xJT tho last half-ccntury came to bid the General good-bve. When Henry Clay failed to receive tne Whig presidential nomination in 1S-P. Judge Norton registered avow that he would not have his hair cut until Clay was elected President, and tho vow still remains unbroken. During yesterday afternoon and evening many of the neighbors and friends of tho General and his family called to bid them good-bye, and the leavetakings were marked by many expressions of esteem and affection. An appropriate and beautiful testimonial of regard to General Harrison has been brought hero by Mr. J. S. Quincv, of Chicago. It is a gift from members of the commercial travelers' fraterity of that city, and consists of a splendid sealskin valise or "grip." framed in gold and built in tho form or a keystone, about the size of tho hand baggage usnally carried by commercinl traveler. The interior is fitted with a folding tray, which can be lifted out and used as a dressing case, and ta th pocket of tha tray

are stored a magnificent array of brushes, iiasks, mirrors and cutlery, mounted in silver and elaborately ornamented with repousse work in quaint designs. As a local commercial traveler remarked of it yesterday, The outfit is one that no man need be ashamed to carry on a four years' trip." The lining bears- the inscription in gilt letters, "Presented to Benj. Harrison. President-elect, by commercial and traveling men of Chicago, to commemorate their visit of Sept. 18, 16SS." Following this are the names of S. S. Carson, H. H. Rood, H.E.Penny, J. W. Vanderver, James A. Todd. James W. Beech, H. W Howe, J. O. A. Walker, Francis E. Morss, John S. Campbell, Thomas Evans, H. A. Chamberlin, II. B. Patterson. J. E. Howe, John R. Towle, James F. Shields, John A. O'Neill and others. The Newspaper Car. The elegant private car Iclanthe arrived yesterday morning over the Monon line from Chicago. This car will compose a part of tho inaugural train, and is known as tho Newspaper Car, as it was tendered by General Superintendent C. A. Garcelon, of the Pullman Palace-car Company, to Mr. Charles Hedges, the special representative of the Associated Press, for the use of the press correspondents on the trip to Washington, and will be in charge of Mr. "Hedges on the trip. 'The lolanthe is one of tho finest cars ever made by the Pullmans, and is equipped with an observation-room, m two staterooms, bath-room and drawing-room. It will accommodate fifteen passengers and that number of correspondents, including also Private Secretary Halford and stenographer Tibbott and family have been invited by Mr. Hedges to enjoy its comforts during the trip. TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS AGO.

President Lincoln's Reception Here on His Way to Washington. Abraham Lincoln, on his way to Washington city, from his home at Springfield, arrived in Indianapolis on Monday, Feb. 11, 1801. When the train from Lafayette, with the President-elect, came within sight of this city, its approach was announced by the roar of artillery, thirty-four rounds being fired, one to represent each of the thirty-four States of the Union. At 5 o'clock in tho afternoon the train stopped at the railroad crossing on West Washington street, where it was met by members of the Legislature, the officers of State, the City Council, the military companies of the city, the fire department and thousands of men, women and children, on foot, in carriages and on horseback. Every part of the State was represented, and every political party. It is estimated that . the streets were thronged by 45,000 persons. Besides tho tens of thousands of people present from different portions of Indiana, there were committees of City Councils of Cincinnati and Columbus (O.) committees, appointed by citizens' meeting of the first-named city and by the Ohio Legislature, the Western agent of the Associated Press, representatives of Cincinnati. St. Louis, Chicago and New York papers. It was a great gathering of politicians, greater than the city ever saw before, although few places in the West had witnessed, up to that time, so many and such large gatherings as had the capital of Indiana. When Mr. Loncoln left the cars and made his appearance where he could be seen deafening cheers arose that 60unded abovo the roar of cannon and the loudest blasts of the bands playing bear by. He was welcomed by Governor Morton in a speech which, like all the utterances of the, great war Governor, could not be misunderstood, and in which he showed a full appreciation of the peril of the Union. Mr. Lincoln's reply was as follows: Governor Morton and Fellow-citizens of the State of Indiana: Most ntartn j do I thank you for this magnificent, Tfoception, and while I cannot take to myfeelf any snare ot the compliment tfcus paid more than that which pertains to a mere instrument, an accidental instrument, perhaps I should say, of a trreat cause, I yet must loot upon It as a most magnificent reception, and, as such, most heartily do thank you for it. You have been E leaded to address yourself to me chiefly in bealf of this glorious Union in which we live, in all of which you have my hearty sympathy and, as far as may be within my power, will have, ono and inseparably, my hearty consideration. While I do not expect upon this occasion, or until I get to Washington, to attempt any lengthy speech, I will only say that for the salvation of this Union there needs but one single thing, the hearts of a people like yours. Of the people when they rise in mass In behalf of the Union and the liberties of their country, truly may it be said, "The gates of hell cannot Erevail against them." In all trylg positions in which I shall be Jlaced, and doubtless I ehall be placed n many such, my reliance will be placed upon you, and the people of the United States and I wish you to remember, now and forever, that it is your business and not mine; that if tho union of these States, and the liberties of this people shall be lost, it is but little to any one man of tilty-two years of age, but a great deal to tho thirty millions of people who inhabit these United States, and to their posterity in all coming time. It is your business to rie up and preserve the Union and liberty for yourselves and not for me. I desire that duty should bo constitutionally performed. I, as already intimated, am but an accidental instrument, temporary and to serve but for a limited time, and I appeal to you again to constantly bear in mind that with you, and not with politicians, not with Presidents, not with office-seekers, but with you is the question: Khali the Union and shall the liberties of this country be preserved to the latest generations! The processiou af terthe speeches marched eastward cn Washington to Pennsylvania, north on Pennsylvania to Ohio, west on Ohio to Illinois and sonth to the Bates House, where Mr. Lincoln soon after appeared on one of the sonth balconies of the building, and spoke to the people who densely packed the streets. This speech, as it was the first Mr. Lincoln made which seemed to foreshadow in some degree the policy of his administration, went out all over the land, and was eagerly read and commented upon. He said: Fellow-citizens of the State of Indiana: I am here to thank you for this magnificent welcome, and stiU more for the generous support fven by your State to that political cause which think is the true and lust cause of the whole conntry and the whole world. Solomon says thero is "a tlmo to keep silence," and when men wrangle by the month with no certainty that they mean tho same thing while using the same word it perhaps wero as well if they would keen silence. The words coercion and invasion are much used In these days, and often with some tamper and hot blood. Let us mako sure, if we can that we do not misunderstand the meaning1 of those who use them. Let us get exact definitions of these words, not from dictionaries, but from the men themselves, who certainly deprecate tho things they would represent by the use of the words. What, then, is "coercionl" What is "invasion?" Would the marching of an army into South Carolina without, the consent ol her people and with hostile intent towara them.be invasion! I certainly think it would; and it would be "coercion," also, if the South Carolinians were forced to submit. But if the United States should merely hold and retake its own forts and other property and coUect the duties on foreign importations, or even withhold the mails from places where they were habitually violated, woidd any or all these things be 'Invasion" or "coercionl" Do our professed lovers of the Union, but who spitefully resolve that they will resist coercion and invasion, understand that such things as these on the part of tho United States would be coercion or invasion of a Statel If so, their idea of means to preserve the object of their great affection would seem to be exceedingly thin and airy. If such, the little pills of the homeopathlsts would be much too large for them to swallow. In their view, tho Union, as a family relation, would seem to be no regular marriage, but rather a sort of "free love" arraneement, to be maintained only on "passionate attraction." Ily the way, in what consists the special sacredness of a State! I speak not of the position assigned to a State in the Union by the Constitution, for that, by the bond, we aU recognize. That position, however, a State cannct carry out of the Union with it. I speak of that assumed primary right of a State to rule all which is less than itself and ruin all that is larger than itself. If a State and a county, in a given case, should be equal in extent of territory and equal in number of Inhabitants, in what, as a matter of principle. U the State better than the county! Would an exchange of names be an exchange of rights upon principle! ' On what rightful principle may a State, being not more than one-flfUeth part of tho nation in soil and population, break up the nation and then coerce a proportionabl v larger subdivision of itself in the most arbitrary way! What mysterious right to play tyrant is conferred on a district of country, with its people, by merely calling it a State. reUow-citizens, I am not asserting anything, I am merely asking questions for you to consider. And now allow me to bid you farewell. In the evening, at the Bates House, beginning at 7:fl) o'clock, Mr. Lincoln began the hand-shaking ordeal whicn lasted for more than an hour. At 11 o'clock the next morning he and his suite left on a special train for Cincinnati, his next stopping place. What you need is a medicine which is pure, efficient, reliable. Such is Hood's Sarsaparilla. It possesses peculiar curative powers.

AN OLD QUESTION REVIVED

Controversy Concerning th'e ClaytonBulwer Treaty Likely to Be Revived, As a Result of the Passage by Congress of the Nicaragua Canal Bill German Sentiment - as to the Samoan Affair Cable Notes. THE laCAKAGUA CANAL. The Action of the United States Congress , Revives Discussion in England. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London, Feb. SI. The passage of the Nicaragua canal bill by the United States Congress has led to considerable discussion here over the effect of the canal upon British interests. The controversy which occurred several years ago as to the proper interpretation of the Clayton-Bulwer treat', is likely to be renewed. Mr. Blaino was at that time Secretary of State, and it is considered probable that ho will, on resuming that office, take occasion to reiterate his views as to the application of the Monroe doctrine to the subject of isthmian canal control. England never fully assented to the doctrine laid down by the American Premier at that time, but the brevity of the Garfield administration and tho turn events subsequently took in connection with the De Lesseps enterprise made unnecessary any further insistance upon a different construction of the treaty. If Mr. Blaine now renews his efforts to have the treaty abrogated as inconsistent with the long-established claims of the United States to priority of interest in the Central American states, there is likely to bo some very interesting diplomatic fencing on both sides. English business interests view with 6ome uneasiness the prospect of American monopoly of transisthmian communication, ana will insist, so far as possible, upon some international guarantee of neutrality. There seems to be an impression here that the Panama canal is also likely to finally drift into the hands of American capitalists and to be finished by them. The large American interest in the Panama railroad is considered as favorable to such a scheme. By a wiping out of old "obligations a reorganized company could get tho property and lands cheaply enough to warrant its completion on a profitable basis. The cleverness of Americans in 6uch peculiar financial transactions is regarded hero as invincible. THE SAMOAN MATTER. Germany Is Not Inclined to Go to War for a Mere Bagatelle. ' Berlin, Feb. 51. The Berlin Post reprints an article from the Wehr Zeitung on the Samoan question, and remarks that in many respects the views taken are correct. The article in question rejects tho supposition that the government came to terms with America, owing to Germany's position in regard to France, and says: "Neither undev the present nor under any other circumstances would Germany have risked a rupture with America for such a bagatelle. The Samoan white book 6hows that wherever the actions of German -officials wero repudiated it was because the officials acted contrary to international law. The press criticisms evoked by the white book were almost entirely directed against the excess of zeal displayed by the . German agents, who appeared to be lacking in the statesmanlike discretion necessary to deal with the situation. Samoan reports show an endeavor to make German annexation or protection appear necessary After stating that the conflict of Dec. 18 might have been avoided had the German consul held more literally to his instructions which were that he should not intervene, but in the event of Taniasese's inability to hold his ground, he should support negotiations between Tamasese and Mataafa, tho YVehr Zeitung continues: "Whether Mataafa's people wero lea ny an American or not is oi no cone. j quence, as the American government cdu not well be made responsible for the action of individuals. Tho German consul, however, by his action undoubtedly burdens his government with such a responsibility. The contrast between the hatter's attitude and government is shown by the white book, and therefore is easily explained. " The Cologne Gazette, violently attacking the Fresinnige Presse, repeats the demand for the punishment, or extradition of the American, Klein, as a common criminal. The North German Gazattee publishes a map ot Upolu, ono of the Samoan islands, a study of which, it declares, leaves no doubt of the preponderance of German interests in Samoa. London, Feb. 25. The Times's Berlin correspondent says: "At the dinner given by Prince Bismarck to tho members of the lower house of the Prussian Diet, on Friday, the Chancellor said he regarded it as an utter impossibility that the Samoan question should have the effect of interrupting those friendly relations between Germany and America which had existed for a century. The geographical situation of Samoa, and the imperfection of telegraph communication, rendered it impossible for him to be responsible for all tho acts of German agents in the Pacific, but tho parties in the dispute were animated by the nest spirit, and no doubt Germany's commercial interests would not materially suffer. Talking of the monarchical principle in this connection the Chancellor remarked, instancing the Carolines incident, that a policy dependent upon popular currents was a much more difficult one than a policy conducted by the sovereign. The latter could withdraw without danger, or even recede a few steps, which was quite impossible in the other case. Even a lost battle need not of itself shake the position of the sovereign. FRENCH SOCIALISTS. Meetings In Paris Dispersed by tlie Police Demonstrations Elsewhere Paris, Feb. 21. The Socialists attempted to hold a meeting in the place in front of the Hotel de Ville, to-day, but were prevented by tho police. Several small groups assembled, but as fast as they gathered they wero dispersed by the gen-darmes. Some of the crowd resisted the police and were arrested, but no one was seriously in1'ured. Meetings of Socialists were also leld in Bordeaux, Lyons, Roubaix and Marseilles. The gatherings wero entirely orderly. An enthusiastic meeting was held at Nantes, at which the political agitators shouted from the platform "Vive la revolution sociale." Tho police charged upon the crowd, which had taken up the cry, and forced theito disperse. Several of tho mob were arrested. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Priest Arrested for Advising Ills Congregation to Refuse to Pay Rent. Dublin, Feb. 24. Father Stephens, after celebrating mass at Falcarragh, this morning, entered a cart and was driven toward Gweedore, where he was to perform a similar service. He was followed by tho police and arrested before he arrived at his destination. The charge against him is based upon his sermon at Falcarragh, in which he advised his hearers to adhere to tho "plan of campaign." Tho arrest of Father Stephens created great excitement, and the military wero compelled to assist the police to preserve order. Father Stephens was recently imprisoned for a similar offense against the crimes act. The Ailesbury Reconciliation. London, Feb, 24. The gossips have a queer version of tho true inwardness of the reconciliation of the Marquis of Ailesbury and his wife. The story goes that tho Marchioness persuaded Lord Abingdon, one of the co-respondents, who is enormously wealthy, to give her his chequo for $S0O,OuO in lieu of a life settlement of $10,000 a year from the estate, and that she then returned to Ailesbury, who is poor as a rat, except in entailed estates, and he agreed to share the money with her and withdraw tho uit for divorce. m More Trouble for Piggott. ) London. Feb. 24. It is believed that ad-1 ditional documents, possessed by Archbishop Walsh and others in Dublin, have been ecnt here to be used in connection with tho

further cross-examination of Piggott, Eugene Davis will bo put in the witness-box, and will deny tho story told by Piggott of his conversation with Davis at Lausanne. Two French students will also testify to tho fact that Davis forcibly ejected Piggott from his room. London Times" on the New States. London, Feb. 25. The Times, commenting upon the addition of four States to the Union, says: "The Union has passed the ordeal too many times for the latest increase to cause top-heaviness, but it is as impossible for a community like America not to bo transformed by the plunging into it of realm after realm as for the infusion of a potent ingredient not to affect a chemical combination. The Americans themselves imperfectly comprehend the actual amount of metamorphosis. Still less can they predict the eventual modifications to which it points. But neither they nor foreigners can help seeing that tho center of national gravity must oe substantially altered by accretions such as these."

Foreign Notes. Mr. Spurgeon preached twice yesterday in London. He looked remarkably well. Avalanches have destroyed the village of Nivollet and killed four persons and injured many others in St. Michael, Savoy. The London Chronicle says that a special commission of cardinals has been convoked by the Vatican to examine into tho best method of preparing for the European Congress, and lor making propaganda in favor of papal arbitration. A BROKEN RAIL. A Number of Passengers Injured, Two of Whom, It Is Thought, Will Die. Elmira, N. Y., Feb. 24. The fast line express train on the. Northern Central railroad, leaving Philadelphia at 11:50 a. m., Saturday, struck a broken rail between Walston and Roaring Branch, Pa., about thirty miles from here, while running at highspeed around a curve, and the rear coach was thrown down a twenty-foot embankment into a small stream. The thirty occupants of tho car were all more or less injured, and it is considered marvelous that no one was killed. Three or four of tho injured wero taken to Canton, Pa., and the others were brought hero and cared for at hotels. Conductor William Dale, of Elmira, who was standing in tho aisle, was thrown violently against the top of the car and seriously cut on the head and face. Gotlieb Beyer, of Philadelphia, bad cuts on head and neck and internally injured; taken to hospital in this city. lie will probably die. A. D. Oberton, of Elmira, head and chest injured, recovery doubtful; Elmer Goden, of Koaring Branch, Pa., injured internally; Bev. C. A. Babcock, of Canton. Pa., head and face cut, not serious; Mrs. T. Bronson, of Watkins, N. Y., cut on the head; Simon Zergg, of Ilerndon, Pa.t serious cuts on head and chest; A. E. Deighton, commercial traveler, of New York, head cut slightly; John Lee, of WiUianisport, Pa., shoulder dislocated; Wm. Pascoe, of Woodstock, Canada, leg broken. The car was heated by steam and did not take fire. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN. Indications. WASHTSGTOS, Feb. 24.

PBOCEEDIXGS OF CONGRESS I

Doctrine of Slate Eights liaised as a Bar Afxainst Outrage Investigations. Mr. Hoar Refutes the Idea and Shws that if Something Is not Done the South Will SufferEulogies on the late Mr. Barnes. Washington, Feb. 23. Among the petitions and memorials presented and referred was one by telegraph from the fourth encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, department of Texas, assembled at Ft. Worth, asking that at least one-half of Oklahoma be reserved for entry and settlement by old soldiers of the Union, without their being subject to the existing homestead law, requiring entry and cultivation. Mr. Hoar moved to proceed to the consideration of his resolution as to alleged election outrages. Mr. Harris demanded the yeas and nays. Mr. Saulsbnry appealed to Mr. Hoar not 'to insist upon his motion, as it must ho very apparent , but the rest of the sentence was cut off by a demand from Mr. Hoar for the regular business. The motion war agreed to yeas. 26; nays, 23 a party vote and the resolution was taken up. Mr. Daniels spoke in opposition to the resolution, and after alluding to the Democratic charges of bribery in New York during the recent election, of tho purchase of voters in Indiana 4,in blocks of live," and of the colonization of aliens in West Virginia, as well as to the counter-charges made by the Republicans, he asked what a pandemonium, what a terrible suspense, what a a paralysis of business would have followed had not State rights exercised their conservative and healing sway. General Harrison's title of President, he said, which had been sealed and delivered to him, was" not given to him by a nation or by a ma jority of its people, but by sovereign States, which had commissioned him as their Chief Magistrate. State rights, ho said, had held the ladder for Ben Harrison to ascend tho presidential chair; had given Senators their prerogatives,, and lifted the Republican party out of the slough of desponcf and over the hill of difficulty, and brought it within sight of the goal of its desires. It was an old axiom that the traveler must praise the bridgo which carried him over the stream. And now that the State-rights bridge had carried the Republican party over the turbulent stream of conliict, it was time for that party to confess that after all it was a pretty good bridge. He had been amazed and astonished when he read Mr. Hoar's resolution, gravely requiring the Senate to enter into the inquiry of the election of tho members of the Houset If anything more un-American or more in conflict with tho spirit of the American Constitution could have been suggested he was at a loss to conjecture what that thing was. The resolution was revolutionary, as it indicated a tendency on the part of the Senate to usurp the functions of the House of Representatives. It was a resolution to impeach the character of a sovereign State a resolution which sought to undermine ono of the pillars of the federal government and to obliterate from the national flag one of its glittering stars. No evidence had been reported to the Senate in support of the resolution. Nothing had been presented but anonymous letters and petitions of defeated candidates for oftico in Louisiana. The Senator from New Hampshire, in order to prejudice the judgment of the Senate and poison the minds of the Northern people, had had those letters and petitions filed in his speech. The postbag of anonymous letters, he said, had been emptied on the Senate floor by the Senator trom New Hampshire, and then another postbag of old and? new newspaper scraps had been emptied on it. He would like to know if the Senator of the United States was going to do, in the exercise of a somewhat judicial function, what no court would do and what no fair man would do? Mr. Harris moved an adjournment. The vote was taken by yeaa and nays, and there were yeas 12, nays 22. Tho absence of a quorum being thus revealed, there was a call of the Senate, to which forty-seven Senators answered. Them Mr. Hams withdrew his motion to adjourn, and moved that the Senate proceed to executive business. Pending action on the motion, various House amendments to private pension bills were presented and concurred in. WThen, these matters were disposed of Mr. Harris withdrew his second motion, as Mr. Daniel preferred to go on with his remarks. Mr. Daniel dispensed with tho reading of extracts, saying he would embody them in the report of his speech. He repeated tho question (Mr. Hoar being now present) which he had asked before, as "to what facts had been reported to the committee cn privileges and elections that raised tho doubt whether or not Louisiana was in possession of a republican iorm of government. Mr. Hoar said there was abundant constitutional authority for the proposed investigation. As to tho spectre ot Stato rights, sought to be called up, there was no such question, Mr. Hoar said, involved in the resolution. What was assailed was not local self-government. It was government generally, which the Senator from Virginia and his associates were trying to hxeak down in this country. That Senator .had asked what facts were depended upon in bringing forward the proposition. Did not that Senator know that, within tux weeks, a man who was contesting a seat fyi the other house had been shot down -while he was making his contest? Did ho now know the history of political offenses all over certain States in the South? General Sheridan had declared, some years since, that more Republicans had been murdered for their political opinions in the State of Louisiana alone than had fallen in battle, on both sides, in the Mexican war. Mr. Hoar went on to comment on the smallness of congressional votes in the Southern States, and gave figures to show that while, two years ago, the vote for delegate in disfranchised Dakota was over 101,000, the aggregate votes of twenty-h'vo congressional districts in the South were only H3,000. It 6eemed to him that, in those facts alone, there was reason enough to make tho proposed inquiry. He quoted from Senator Morgan's article in tho Forum under the heading "Shall Negro Majorities Rule? and asked what that question meant. There was no such thing, he said, as "negro" in the view of constitutional rights, and the question meant nothing more nor less than "shall majorities rule?" He denied that there was anything sectional in his proposition, or that it meant an attack upon tho Stato of Louisiana. If the charges were true, that State was lying helpless and bound at the feet of a band of conspirators. Tho charges were not that Louisiana had done wrong, but that Louisiana was suffering wrong. In further commenting upon Mr. Morgan's magazine article, Mr. Hoar eulogized Southern gentlemen for their bravery, intelligence, constancy, and other good qualities, out he warned them that within the lifetime of 6ome who listened to him there would be fifty million negroes in the States, and that, if tho methods reported wero persisted in, tho white people of the South were sowing a seed from which was to come a harvest of. horror and bloodshed to which the French revolution, or that of St. Domingo, was light in comparison. The people of tho North were anxious to aid the South in every possible way if the South would only receive that help, and not spurn it. Mr. Daniel criticised Mr. Hoar's speech as having contained no response to the question asked him. As tho Senator from Massachusetts had proclaimed that his resolution was non-sectional, he should ask him, ere tho resolution was voted upon, to insert a provision to have that condition of things in Ohio inquired into regarding tho treatment of colored children in connection with the school question. At this point of his speech, 'after having spoken nearly rive hours, Mr. Daniels yielded for a motion to go into executive session. That motion, however, was not pressed, and after a notice that the resolutions as to the death of Representative Burnes, of Missouri, would be called up at S o'clock on Monday, the Senate adjourned. Filibustering Again Precedes Business. Washington, Fob. 23. Tho House met at 10 o'clock this morning, but there was a very small attendance of members when that hour arrived.
