Mr Eansom. That is a quibble un woTthrof the Senator and unworthy to be adarssed to me. "The' Senator un derstands very well what I meant. The Senator knows very well that these credentials were presented here in March last, at the last session of the Senate We have been here six weeks at this session, and if the Senator still knows nothing of this cise it is no iftyilt of mine. Mr Hoar. The Senator from North Carolina assumes a style of speech that is entirely unbecoming his character on this floor. . A Mr Ransom. Mr President Mr Hoar. I have the floor. I do not yield for an interruption in this style. Tpfopose to proceed with my remarks if I am permitted to do so by the .chair. The Vice President. The Senator from Massachusetts has the floor. Mr Hoar. When the Senator from North Carolina said that we had been here eight months, and I called his attention to the fact that a large pro portion of that time had been a vaca tion, to which both parties agreed, and that we had been here but five or six weeks of legislative time, it is a little unbecoming in him to get up and tell me it is a quibble, or tell the Senate that it is unworthy of this place. The Senator from North Carolina took oc casion to observe upon a remark, which he says he heard, of mine, that this method of proceeding was a usual method in legislative investigations, and said that it was a strange thing to him that investigations of this charac ter should ever be entered into where the common law prevails without the presence of the persons whose charac ters may be affected by it to confront the witnesses. It is a strange thing that anywhere where the common law or the Christian law prevails, there should be,found communities in which outf ages Of this character, not one, but a; hundred, alrover a - wide I section of country! should prevail, abd among the members of one large party, and there should not be found one man who eith er will refuse to profit by them, will raise his hand to stop them, or even in any Kind of investigation will report tum nonesuy. ; iMr;Bansoni. -Mr President i s U Mr:Wadleigb!i .Ischial hnl of I time ?

Hiv President, I do not want to say nytbinr personal. I will not say any thing1 personal here. If I could con ceive that 1 had said a word unbecom ing myself or unjust to the Senator from Massachusetts. I should retract it. I should hold myself a coward, if I did noft do so. l If th fcaannerls warm, His my"natdre leantidt help'itr But let me say to the senator irom Massa chusetts that wbea.I see a man come here whom I know of - my own know- edge to be his and my peer ; when I see a man come here in whose veins flows the blood of Perry and I need not say who Perry was when 1 see a man here, according to the admission of all, in whose heart beats the blood of Butler of the Palmetto regiment; when I see a nephew here of that But- er who was so long the chairman of the Judiciary Committee of this Sen atewhen 1 see that honored name sought to be torn down and degraded unjustly I must rise and defend it. If my manner is warm, 1 am glad that it is so. I would not permit the cnarac- ter of the humblest negro in the Caro- inas, I would not allow the character of the poorest man that walks this earth to be destroyed by such testimo ny, as has just-been read, and when he had not been heard in his own defence; and when I appealed to a Senator from Massachusetts, that great cradle of iberty, to stand by these principles, 1 am mortified: I am ashamed that he should fail to do it. In addition to this we present below the highly vivid description of Senator Ransom's manner and the scene in the Senate during the delivery of the won derfully, forceful and impassioned speech, as witnessed from the report ers' gallerv bv the Washington corres pondent of the New York Sun. If eveiy true North Carolinian feels thrill of pride as he reads the burning words of the gallant Ransom, his cheek must flush with an unusual sense of gratification, as he reads the descrip tion which follows, of the sensation in the Senate during the delivery of this withering invective, when he turned upon Hoar, and his glowing defence when he took up the name of Butler. We lay before ourteadersvas much as possible of this vivid sketch It was hard to look with patience at the last struggle of a great party in an historic chamber sinking to this stale pitch. Mr Wadleigh's manner invited interruption, and interruptions came on all hands from the I sleeping and laughing Senate. Mr Cameron, of Wis eonain, a tall man, acrid in speech, had something to say bp way of interrup tion, and Mr Ransom interrupted him. Page after page of reputed evidence was read, charging Butler with crimes as startling as they were false, ' and it came about by those turns of debate which eddy around the interruptions of heated men, that the committee, and Cameron as chairman, was put on its defence tor hearing this accusing evidence last November with closed doors. There was no dodging this point Mr Ransom held (Jameron hrmly to it Men listened, laughing at the evident likeness to a cross-examination, when Ransom, leaning forward, his . hand to bis ear, said: "1 did not hear the wit ness -These closed, doors, this faint touch of unfair accusation, undid all tne hours of dreary -reading; The slow delay was to go on. without a care for the minority making delay. ihen Mr Hoar Bpoke with a good man ner and a bad cause. -Itwas a harder fight than the afternoon's attack on a man charged with bargaining the seat he stand indicted for buying:!-Very dexterously, standing among the empty desks on the .Republican side- ot the empty chamber. Mr Hoar turned the current of remarks and brought Mr Ransom to his feet.

Hoar stooped. An answer was no 1-inger possible. ' 1 : "f We regret that we have no room for thespeech of Senator Merrimon, on the same subject, delivered1 in the Senate about noon of Tuesday." To dismember it would be to mar it; and hence we can give no1 adequate summary of it fur ther than was done nearly a week ago by the telegraph. This, too, .waaia speech, honorable to North Carolina! and honorable to Judge Merrimon. It was a powerful arraignment of the Re publican party ; an ingenious, manly defence of South Carolina, the South and Gen Butler, and will add to the re putation which , the speaker already bears as an accomplished lawyer a skillful debater and a Senator well, in formed and unusually industrious. THE SITUATION IN THE SENATE. The same telegram which brought the excellent news that Gen Butler had been seated as Senator from South Carolina, also brought the unwelcome intelligence that , Kellogg ; had been hoisted into the seat to which Spofford was elected by the legal Legislature of Louisiana. To this extent, therefore, one of the newly seated Senators be ing a Democrat and the other a Re publican, the complexion of the Senate is unchanged, but the committee on Privileges and Elections of the Senate a committee which is decidedly Re publican in its make-up having re- ported in .favor of Euetia, the -other Democratic claimant from Louisiana, renders his seating quite certain, and thus as a result of the breaking of the recent dead-lock we have gained one Senator. We speak confidently of the seating of Eustis, because we enter tain no doubt whatever that be will be seated whenever his case is again taken up. Let us then see bow the Senate stands : With yesterday the beginning of the regular session, all pairs came to an end. Senator Ransom was suffi ciently recovered to resume his seat yesterday, and Mr Blaine is expected in Washington to-day. In a very few days all the absent Senators of both parties will be in their places, with the exception of Sharon, of Nevada, and Grover. of Oregon, the former of whom may not return at all. He bought his seat in the Senate, paid his own money for it, it is his individual property and he will not occupy it ex cept when he wants to. At present he does not want to. Well, counting Sharon and Grover abse.it onea Re publican and the other a Democrat the Senate stands 37 Democrats to 37 Republicans. This counts Davis, of Illinois, as a Democrat, and Patterson and Conover as Republicans. Events have proven that these two worthies cannot be counted upon as "machine Republicans." and thus the hold of the Republican party upon the Senate is thoroughly broken. But when we con sider that Kellogg is not likely to bold his seat beyond. 1879,,it will be seen that the Democrats will have the complete control of the Senate in their hands in a very short time, even if it were not certain as it is that severa Republican Senators will be superceded before the end of the present Bession by Democrats. Oar calculations have been carefully made, and we think, they are correct It is possible that they are slightly at fault, but, as we Jhave said, the politi cal uncertainty, of(Patterson and Con over will upset all the future calcula tions of the Republicans,' and the.Dem ocrats are in a position to dictate terms hereafter in all matters of any mo ment. . ,- '. lhe Washington correspondent, pf the New York , Sun, '"remarks of the vote of the Senate of last Tuesday on the motion go into executive session which was carried by the Democrats 28 to 30, that Mr Wheeler, was then the first Vice-President since Calhoun to announce a hostile party vote.

I asked. "I am not doing anything." Well, but I thought you were going to take toll," replied Mrs. Kambkin. VTQll," 1 rejoined;;" what's that?" "wen, l decu.-e ! ' cried the widow, clear laugh ringing out above the music of the blls, "you pretend you don't know what toll is ?" -' '"Indeed I don't,' then," I said laugh ing ; "pray esrplain", if 6u please." "You never heard, rtheri," said the widow, most provokingly 'you never heard that when we were on a sleigh ride 'the gentlemen always that is, sometimes when they cros a bridge claim a kissy and call it toll. But I never pay it." : I said that I neyer heard of it before, but when we came to the next bridge I claimed the toll, and' the widow's strug gle to hold the veil over the face was not enough to tear it. J At last the veil was 'removed, her round, rosy face was turned directly toward mine, and in the clear light of a frosty moon the toll was taken, for the first time in his life, by Dr. Meadows. Soon we came to a long bridge, with several arches, the widow said that it was no use to resist a man who would have his "own way,"so paid the toll without a mur mur.', ' ! i Jjutyou won t take toll for every arch, will you, Doctor?" the widow said so archly,-that I could not fail to ex act' all my dues, and? that was the beginning. "But never nnrid the rest. The Lambkin had the Meadows all to her self in, the spring." ' The Inter-Ocean announces a great truth to us : "A few weeks ago the inti mation that Osm an Pasha, at Plevna, wa"s contemplating the surrender of his a'rtriy would have created great excite ment.. Now the announcement is made in a dispatch of five lines, and the tremendous fact which is to make the Russian campaign in Europe a suc cess, does not have as much consider ation as a dodging Senator from South Carolina. "Whenever you see in a story," says a book reviewer in one of the literary papers, "such an expression as '1 vow will, or 'I vow I won t, you may know that a woman wrote it." Yes, the rule is infallible. And the fact is quite as remarkable, too, that when you find in a story such an expression as "damphi do," or "damphi don't," you may know that a woman didn't write ij.

It is the duty of every person who has used Boscben s Oerman Syrap to let its wonder tul qualities be known to their friends in curing consumption, severe conghs, croup, asthma, pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases. Mo person can use it without immediate relief. Three doses will relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all druggists to recommend it to the poor dying consumptive, at least to try one bottle as 40,000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and not one case where it failed was report ed. Such a medicine as the German Syrup cannot be too widely known, ask your druggist about it : sample bottles to try sold at ten cents. Regular size 75 cents. For Bale by T C Smith. .
