Mr. II 11 iris nsked Mr. Chaiulli wneiner tne Ntatement winch lie was mnkinc was such brief statement as the rule contemplated in the presentation ot petitions, una nmicu timt it was in ui icct violation ol the rule. Mr. Chandler replied thut he under stood the rule nnd how the rule was con strued. He was not reading the peti tion, but was readiiiL' from as condensed a statement of it as he could make injus tice to tne iietitioncrs. Mr. Harris desired the ruling of the chair under rule 7, which provides timt every iicuuiiii or nieiiioriiu sunn alive Clr doised on it brief statements of its con tents, and shall be presented and referred without iicunic. Mr. Hour remarked that Mr. Chandler hnd said that his statement was as brief and compact as he could make it, and added that the rule lilt the matter en tirelv to the discretion of the senators. Mr. Itcrry nsked Mr.Chandler whether he bad himself prepared the statement he was making, or whether somebody else linn done so. Mr. Chandler replied that he had writ' ten it himself. Mr. llerry I thought so. It is not n lietition, but a collection of rot and tilth which the senator has collected himself. Mr. Chandler It is a statement which I make on mv own restioiieibilitv of the subsrniiecol this petition. It was prc- inreii iy myseii. 1 110 not wish to vio lute the rules of the senate. 1 11m onlv sorrv that the senator from Tennessee should not have taken occasion to com ment on the practice of miikmi'full state incuts of iiclitions on some other Deli tiou than one which concerned the rights ol citizens. .Mr. Harris nu.-iiu calico on tne chair tor a ruling. I he ice rrcsulcnl A statement lias lieen made liv the senator Irom New llninpshire, that the brief which he has prepared is a condensed statement of the H'titioii. The chair is of tlieopiiiiouthat the senator has n right to complete the reading 01 the paper. .Mr. llerry II 11 comes Irom the sena tor from New Hampshire himself I do not think that it can iuiurc cither the State of Arkansas or the ieoplc of Ar kansas. Therefore, I have no objection. Mr. Chandler, ironically I am verv much obliged to the senator front Arkan sas for the pleasure of being informed that a petition on this subject can Ik presented in the senate of the I'nited States with the consent of the senator from Arkansas. The statement was then completed and the resolution, with several others from Arkansas on the same subieet, was re ferred to the committee on privileges and elections. Mr. Call ottered a resolution, which went over till to-morrow, 111 relation to the lands claimed by the Florida Centrul and Peninsular Kailroud company, be tween Waldo mid Tnnipn, directing the attorney general to institute proceedings to prevent unv further sale of such land until action shall be taken bv congress. The business on the calendar was then taken tip, and 2l iension and private bills passed, nnd at 2 o'clock the Ulair educational '.nil was taken up us nil finished business. Mr. Ingiills iiuiuircd 11 to the time when the bill was likely to be disposed of, remarking that it stood in the way ol many important measures, and giving notice mat 11c wouiu insist mat its con sideration should proceed with dispatch, .Mr. iiimr sum that the mil linn been under consideration since the Tith of I'chrmirv nnd had been proceeded with as rapidly as the senate was willing to irocccu with it. lie was anxious to bring it to a conclusion as rapidly as Kssible. There was 110 more iuiMirtant measure before the senate. At least live or six senators bad notihed him of their desire to siieak tntou it. Air. Kcagnn nilorcsscil the senate In o)i osiliim to the bill, lie said that he had presented to the senate in the last congress such views and authorities as seemed to show that the passage of the lull was not warranted by the constitu tion. It was not his puriiosc to ngnin enter into n full discussion ol the charac ter and provisioni of the oil', even if he had notlicfomloncso. A learned and ahle discussion of the subject by the senator from West Virginia, Kir. I'Vniiklin, and by his collcugue, Mr. Coke, had made it necessary I'or him to do so. lie should, tlicrelore, limit his remarks to presenting some of the authorities which he had then used to show that there was cer tainly no express grnnt of power in the constitution for such legislation, and that the legislation as to local und do. mestic ipicslions in the States was left delusively to the States. Mr. Wilson, of Maryland, also argued against the constitutionality of the bill. Mr. Chandler, from New Hampshire, had told the senate with great earnest ness that if the constitution were con atilutionnl, congress must be clothed with the Hiwer of educating the oplc. Intelligence liciug bedrock, Ins hcnrgucdl of the republican form of government, congress hud to ihisschs the power to in stitute a system of schools, wholly with out regard to State limits or Suite powers. lie (Wilson) knew of no enunciation of liny mibliv man mora til will Willi IMC nipumr llllUIMllll. 01 IIIC country or with the framework ol the government. Mr, Mlitir replied to some of the points made in Mr. Wilson's speech, nnd also in the speeili of u few days ngo nf Mr. Faulkner, lie referred to the ncwspuicr report of tin attempt being muile 111 the Suite of Virginia to restrict the educa tion of white children, leaving the money raised from colored taxpayers to be used for colored schools, nnd he showed thnt under one nf the sections of the bill no State that made any such restriction could derive any advantage from it. Referring to the assertions as to the growing unKpulnrity of the bill, he gave H ns his opinion that the bill was much throughout the country to-day than it hud been originally, llesuidtlint it has never been so strong among the masses 01 tne people, especially among the masses of the white jieople of the South, as it was to-day. So it wns, too, in the senate. The first time it had 3:i votes in its favor, the second time 30 votes, the third time 30 votes, nnd the next time it would hnve more than 4." votes in its favor. Thut next time be said would lie some day next week. Mr. Itlair went 011 with general re marks in explanation and defence of the bill and said that he did so because 110 other senator desired to Sciik upon it to-iiny. After a brief executive session the sen ate, at .45, iidjourued till to-morrow. nOl'SB. Immediately after the rein ing of the journal Mr Kowcll ol Illinois called up the contested election case of Atkinson vs. I'cndicton Irom the first district of West Virginia. It was agreed that six hours' debate slioulU.be allowed. after which the previous question was to ne considered as ordered. 1 The case of the contestant was cham pioned by Mr. Kowcll, nnd Mr. Pcndlc i it... if. r. ... a ,, in .lii ,in,,i,iamcu "jr ..ir, J I'crrnll ol irgiuin. Mr. Kowcll was se onded by Mr. Lncey of Iowa, and M OTerrall by Mr. Wilson of Missouri All the siiceclH'S were confined to an analysis of the evidence, and were lr and uninteresting. The only life infused into the debate was contributed bv Mr. Grcenhnlge of Mass. who, while address ing himself to the evidence, did so will so much ciuiet sarcasm as to elicit laugh ter nnd applause from both sides ol the house. Ilisiuiet reference to "the ex treme leniency with which the sgieaker treats the other side ot the house wn thoroughly euioved, nnd his huiuoroii dissection of the minority report hiuhlv entertained the house. In conclusion he said : "While I do 111 liclicvc that the gentl man Irom West 1rg1mn (Mr. I'cndicton I was duly elect ed to the scat he occupies, I take pleasure in saving, at least, thnt not a page of this record I alluding to tne record in the easel is stained by anv improper conduct on his pari, and 1 take urcatcr pleasure in .living timt his coni'uet while m una House 1111s ucvii linn 01 oigniiy 01 manhood nnd of courtesy. I say that it is a great pleasure if the bitterness of x litical warfare can lie ameliorated In tituling our enemies the men wc have to contest with men of heroic nndehivnlrie mould. I'ndcr these circumstances we hnve a right to love our enemies, nnd I thniik our friend thnt he at least jierniit ted me to know 'the tierce iov which warriors feel in foeinan worthy of their steel.' 'When the other day. under our very eyes we saw a nuinlier ol gentlemen on that side underlining the horrible trans formation nlllictcd on the unhappy fol lowers 01 1 lyscs by tile art ol Circe, I am glad to snv that one of the notable exceptions of thnt horrid rout was the gentleman from West Virginia. No Hill- ingsgntc polluted his hps. lie did not writhe in parliamentary or unparliamen tary convulsions. He did not troth at the mouth and protest that he was mak ing n constitutional argument, and when the strong man 111 the Mutant crowd wns striding about the house like Cullivcr among the I.illiputintis, the gentleman from West Virginia w'nssctiingancxnin pie whieu many ol his colleagues would have done well to lollow. Therefore, though 1 must admit that the contingency of my friend's return to the house is somewhat remote, despite the gloomy prophecy ol the gentleman from Missouri, at least he g,cs back to the people of West Virginia with the as surance ol one republican, if thnt is worth anything in the 1st congressional dis trict of West Virginia, that he hns irovcil to this house and to the couutrv that the grand old name of the gentle- man, withtlieuobility nnd manhood and refinement that It implies Has not lost all honor and respect in the first legisla tive body in the world, the congress of the I luted Mates.
