-While there it a great deal of fanaticism in
the U. S. Senate, there are some of the Eeub
lican Senators who seem to be superior to party
feeling and low party malice. ; I
Sco a tor Ferry of Connecticut, ia a Republi
can, bat he -made a noble speech the otberiday
gainst test oaths and in favor of removing the
Editical disunities of every man in thecountry.
elow is a synopsis of the epeech : j
The bill to enforce the 15th anienlnKntjwas
taken up. The question bciu on the motion 'of
Mr Ferry to strike out that part of Mr Stewari'a
amendment providing fines aud imprisonment for
persons holding office in violation of the 14th
amendment, 31 r Ferry then defended his posi
tion from the stricture of. Mr Morton, and
c Limed that he spoke for the Union men of the
South in advocating a general removal of politi
cal disabilities, lie alluded to the platforms jof
the Republicans in several of the States aud tie
utterances of the Republican candidates in sup
port if this. He said in reference to the State
of Georgia,1 which the fc'enator (Morton) was
ronstanllv luldin? co as the model State lof
crime aud disorder, .-Why was this? he was
sure tliat it the destinies oi Georgia had been in
the handgof men of high patriotism acd not men
who had dragged the honor of the Republican
rartv down to the du-stJand w-hose only aim wi;s
their own pecuniary advancement, her affaip
would have been' very different: but he denied
thefetories these telegrams, manufactured to or-
der aud which were et-nt here to the press of thjis
city. -Mr F. read from a letter of Titos. R. Jek-
