Cull, would nrruifin him, Clmndler, be- lore the senate nnil would demnnd in vcsliuntion by u eommitlce for tnnkiue an necusation thnt win untrue. The remarks ol the senator proved thnt he knew that the acctmntion was not true, lie. Call, would convict the senntor on evidence id Ins own that would convict him before a jury of rc- sict.ilile New tlnmpshire republicans tlmt be did hear mid know that he, Call, bad uttered on the floor of the sen ate substnutinllv the whole of the ehnrue eontnined in the paragraph, anil, with a very lew vxcepiions, every won. con tiiiued in it. He (;nvc notice to that sen ator that lie, Cull, would not submit tamely lo the imputation put upon him. lie would not ask tlie censure ov the senate of the senator from New Hamp shire, but he would leave him to the just judgment of public opinion throughout the country lor Having iienril las, Lairs, remarks and having had neither the courage nor the manhood to resent them. Mr. Sherman declared that the rules of the senate hud just been violated by the senator from Florida in as gross a man ner ns be had ever witnessed, lie bad not chosen to interrupt the senator, but the Record would show what he bad said, and he lirtl the committee would examine it. When the senate of the I'nitcd States came to such n condition that the word"cowurd"could I applied lo a senntor, and that senator could be chnrged with staling n. thing falscly.it seemed to him that the senate was" re ceding from the dignity which had dis tinguished it from the Inundation of the government. He lincd that the senator liom rloridn would read over Hie report of what he had said and not huve pub lished in the Kcconl tlie language which in any general assembly in the world would be regarded ns disorderly mid iin-nroiK-r. Air. v-uii ii I nave vioiatcii any rule ol the senate liv any ooscrvntions which l have made to-day, or formerly, I with- Irnw tlicin, und apologise to the senutc. Mr. I handler II Mr. Call I did not understand that I wus violating utiv rule. If I mil not ut liberty when a resolution reflecting on me is offered to state that it is not true, and that tie senntor, when he made the charge, knew that it was not true, then do not understand the rules ot the sen ate. Hut it in the iiidgmciit of any sena tor it is improper to use that language, I withdraw it und apologise for it. Mr. thnnf.ler I will not reply to the gentleman from Florida this morning in unparliamentary language. 1 liavestnled, in a resolution which is now before the senate, and which I am willing to have relcrrcd to the committee on privileges and elections, what the conduct of the senator from Florida has Uen. I have recited tlie words which he used, and the alterations which be made in theoHicial report. The laets nre staled in the prc- imiilc. I lie lacts are true, t lie com plaint which 1 made was that the sena tor had inserted in bis remarks words which lie had not uttered. 1 did not complain in the resolution of the language which he mil utter as iKiug unparlia mentary. When that iiuestion goes to the committee with the resolution I hoiie that the committee will tnke occasion to inform the Semite and the country whether or not the language used by the senator was parliamentary, und what language may oc used ny senators in re lation to each other, whether in uttnek or in defence. The senator used language uuout me which I did not hear. lie wrote Innuunge in the report accusing me of all the crimes in the decalogue, ami he has now, this morning, charged me with being n coward for not replying to thnt which I did not hear, and to that which be afterwards wrote in the Kcconl report. When the senate lias decided on what language is parliamentary to use, will take occasion to Helena mysclt from all imputations of the senntor trom Florida. Mr. Ilnwlrv I sunnose that the mat ter should go promptly to the committee on privileges and elections, nnd that it is hardly proiierto continue t he uiscusmoii of it. Hut the remarks made a few min utes ago by the senntor from Florida tempt me to say that however much he may reproach the senntor from New Hampshire for not having responded to his bitter and personal onslnugiit,!, with most of the senators on this side, would have protested in language ns indignant, ns if it was directed ngninst tlicm, against that gross violation of parliamentary law, which he says be committed the other (lav and which I say be did not. Mr. Harris contended that the resolu tion should be referred not to the com mittee on privileges nnd elections, but to the committee on rules. The iiuestion was taken on Mr. hhcr- man's motiun lo refer the resolution to the committee on privilcgesnnd elections, and the motion was agreed to. It was also ordered that the proceed ings of the senate on the day in ipicstion shall not be stcreotyiied until further or ders. Mr. Call offered n resolution, which was agreed to, culling on the commis sioner of tisli mid fisheries for information as to the production and gathering ot sponges in the I'nitcd States, nnd ns to inc uesi menus oi increasing me .iiuiigv Induslry. At 2 o'clock the tllair educational bill was taken up ns "unfinished business," and Mr. Coke addressed the senate in oil position to it. He opposed it, he said, Cured MealM and I.arU As wellns the very finest fresh meats will be found ot Martin's Market, CO 3. Main ttrt because it clearly violated the constitu tion, and because us a measure of policy it was most unwise and mischievous. It bad constantly declined in public favor until now, the indications gave good ground to the hope for its detent. Senator Stanford took the floor in ad vocacy of the bill. Mr. Kenpan obtained the floor to speak : ,.:, ' i f. i iigiiuisr. inc uni, (inn inter ii unci execu live session the senate, at G o'clock, nd journcd. HOl'Slv.-Mr..

Mr. Rogers, ol Arkansas, objected nnd persisted in his objection, notwithstand ing the npiwul of Mr. McCreury , of Ken tucky, Unit he withdraw it. ' , The bill discontinuing tlu-' tuiuugc of one dollar und three dollar gold pieces nnd three cent nickel pieces wus passed. A bill was passed authorizing the sec retary of State to appoint two suitable iwrsons to represent the I'nitcd States at the international conference in reference to i rotecliou of industrial property, to oc Held ul .Madrid, tMiam, April 1st 1SU0. Th c house then in committee of the whole resumed the consideration of the Oklahoma bill. Mr. Hooker, of Mississippi, moved to strike out the first section of the house bill, which is a substitute to the senate lull, fixing boundaries of the new tcrri lory so as to include the Cherokee out let.

Colonel Koss. acting in accord with the wishes and spirit of the subscrilx-rs in tins district, took the initiative, nnd resolved not to wait for the collection ol the Slate's subscriptions nt Atlanta, and the meeting of the trustees to discuss some plan of ox-rntiou, but he placed niniscii in communication with I'reslon lolinson nnd others, mid tliroiiL'h them learned that Mis.
