He was defied and repudi-, ated becaurt the "insurgent did net , believe in the honesty and sincerity of bis c piosition to Pritchard. Tney be lieved it to be e elfish and arbitrary, and, if successful, they lelieved it would re rult in the con-s pie te destruction of the Populist iartv in the State. They were influenced, too, by a lofty conception of personal and inditical intf grity. In com mon with the rank and file of their party they U'lieved that honor compelltd them to vote for Pritchard. They only did their duty, and they will be enthusiasti cally sustained by their constituents. Adverting t the much discussed Repub lican defection, Mr. Pearson eaid: Re publican devotion to Pritchard was un-paralleh-d in the history of State politic. There walnut a weak place in the line. No higher tribute, he added, could te paid to the leadership of a man whose name is svmnvmous wi:h honor and courpgt.

' Mr. Coper (Dem., Texas), called np and the House passed over the President's veto, the bill to establish a new division of th Eastern Judicial District of Texas. The fea ture ot the debate on this matter was a caus tic criticism by Mr. Grosvenor (Rep., Ohio), upon the executive order, which denied Sen nioTB and Representatives access to the Pres ident except through the Private Secretary Rip Rap, Nabob, Tony oflhePresident - me uui was passea auuionzing ine uai- veston and ftreat ISorthern Kailroad Com pany to build a railroad through the Indian Territory. It was vote! to adjourn over from today unjil Monday next. At 5 o'clock the House took the usual re cess for the consideration of private pension bills. Mr. Cooper called up the Texas Judi cial District bill. lie explained that in the consideration of the bill neither he nor any m mber of the Committee on Judiciary had ever heard any objection to the bill. He had made several at tempts to see the President while the bill was before him in order to set forth the re sons why the bill should become a law and to meet the objections which the court officers were said to have made, but which had never been presented to him. In all these attempts he was un successful, the Secretary of the Presi dent, who holds the key to the door by which members of Congress are admitted to the President, denying him the ricrht as a representative of the people of his district to see the Executive. On the oc casion of his last visit, Mr. Ccoper sai he had just been informed thai the bil had been returned to the President by the Department of Justice without re commendation. The Secretary told him at first that the President had not acted upon the bill, but when Mr. Cooper told him that the bill had been sent over from Ml I ROD'S CHAFF.

(Laugh ter). Mr. Grosvenor I the advance agent about as much as the gentleman from Tennessee was the agent of his party in that unfortunate affair. (Re newed laughter)- Addressing'himself to the merits of the bill, Mr. Grosvenor said that if the President told the truth in his veto mes sage about the condition of -affairs in Texas, the bill ought not to pass. The bill passed, 144 to 68; more than two-thirds voting in the affirmative. Questions of deep interest and importance came up before tbe Senate today in a most unexpected manner. First aiose the sub ject of recognition by Congress of the Re public of Cuba, Mr. Turpie (Deni., Ind.),' giving notice of his intention to call up Sen ator Cameron's resolution on Monday next, and to address the Senate on the subject. Mr. Turpie d verted to Secretary Oinej's defiance of Congress ?n the, matter of Cuba, and said that it reminded him of the school master of antiquity, who "whipped his pu pils gently," or, in the Latin i'manus molliter impo-int.' He also referred to a newspaper statement of ah alleged compact yesterday between the present Secretary of State aud the Premier of the next administration, th t there would be no action in relation to Cuba during the present Congress. This state ment was llunily contradicted by Senator Sherman, as one without the slightest foun dation. "There has been," he declared, "no conversation at all between us on the sutject muter, no expression of opinion." Afte this episode the qstion of the ar bitration treaty was brought uj)on the tapis in an i formal and chance manner. Mr. Ci llom (Rep., 111.) had earlier in the day scot to the Clerk's desk, for publicatit n in the Record, a large number ot" letters which he had received on the sul ject of the treaty, some favoring and others opposing ratifies lion.

Then, Mr Cooper said, he, again asked for a per sonal interviey with the President, that he might preent the reasons why the bill should become a law. But the Sec retary refused him access, saying that the President had made up his mind, and that it would be useless to see him. In view of these facts, Mr. Cooper said, the reason advanced by the President was no reason, and asked the House to pass the bill ove- the veto, as recommended by the committee.
