itwas sought to change the p Iltical comoulxion

is not to gain time. as has been alleged, but
ibring out n w facts.
Mr. Wadleigh itill contended that every op
Portunity had b en afforded to Spoolord to
t ve his allegailotns.
I r. conkling ask, d if this refusal of the com
mlttee to halt in the investigatlon, to stop the
.heels of the investsg tlon, occurred before or
afttr the terrible arraignment of t lie committe
a the floor of the Senate by Senators on the(
,other side, to the efflct that the committee had
been negligent in It- duty and had delayed this
ae while a sovereign State was being deprived
otbprearmentation on this floor.i
r, lh-I would like to answer.
r.Conkling-I am talking to the Senator
ewe mpshire.
adlelgh-It was after the speeches on
t l o~oiutaigning the committee.
r. onkling--statethat the commnittee was
'raigned by Democratic Senators for its doe
i y and negligence in this same ces-, and I aver
at a Democratic Senator said it ought not to
ye gone to the committee at all. antd that it
should have been reported by the committee
long ago. Another Senator claimed that no in
estigatilon was needed at all in the case, be
cause there was so little in it; that all the faeels
re recorded by both partiva; that the case was
as clear as though Mr. Ke logg was dead,
'the Senate had attended his funeral:
' t was closed up so far as Hellogg
., Acerned, and now we are urged to
m,° he committee more time to
.0 lease and make it up. We heard
a statement of what the country
g. tcow. If I had the commanding of
ountry should know I would call the
a f the ountry ito that same Senaeor,
eAdg up the Seoate at night, not long sinc'e,
o r.red that there was not a single reason
"r investigation at all. and now he rises
and asks for more delay to make up
; for oeiay. for prevention, for manocu
Insisting, that the committee shall
re itself into a police force. to go to the
.Pand hunt up evidence touching the charnc
of one of the claimhnts; and that th's same
Senator who, on a recent occasion, told the
enate of the trivi 1 incon equentiality of the
matter and that it couii i b dlteduct
in a minutePs time. If he (Conkling) was not
mistaken some ind gnntion aits expressed that
the character of a g nt leman from South C rro
lina, who enme here with his hands and face
dripping witu the blood of murder, should be
quired into. He did not propose to get into
this case, bu' his credulity refused to honor the
draftwhen he heard this delay arg ed for,
when we have been told all along that the caoe!
was so trivial that no investigation was nee s
Atry. Complalnt was not made about Kellogg's
ease until another case had been wrested fr ,n
the committee. Complaint was made that the
other ease had not been ikenake p, and now the
l mocratieside complain that Kellogg's case
isa not ,kept behin i while the comnittee goes
tothle Gulf for evid nce.
Mr. McDonald still insisted that new evidence
_ad been discovered that had not been brou-ght
out in any of the investi itions, and that the
omnmmittee had refused to hear it andthey asked
theorecormmittal to the commItteoto hear it now.
AColloquv sprang up between Messrs. Hill.
ieDonald, cMllon and Wadleigh ill regard
t the evidence before the different investiga
ogeommittees and the character of some of
e witnesses, mostly relating to matters which
ve been before presented at different times.
Mr. Gordon said he wished to immortalize
o attitude of the Senator from New York for
is Consistency. The Senator had sought to
ake a demon of a man upon evidence that had
n entirely disproved. He had sought to
.la discredit upon the Sta'e of South Caroli
and upon a g,'ntleman who was not on this
rto defend himself.
. Conkling said he should be sorry to in
~tfere with the speech of the Senator, which
bromlsed to be a good one, but he did not mean,.
'r did he say, anything that had been all'g'd.
. had attempteodtohold up In contrast the de
1w masked for now in one case, to go into the
touching the chara.Ater o' one man and
d no of hands naginst it in nnother case.
did not object, howeee r. to having the Sena
,torfrom Georgia proceed in thtttheory. It was
ad that rhetoric should not be c-nflned too
ly by arlthmatic and other things.
Mr. Gordon: "That saying ;aa: been finely
.emrlifled in the Stenator's owls rmarlks.'
Er. Gordon continued at length and defended
Butler and denounced Doe Adams, who
kling had characterized as a born leader of
n. Gordon claimed that the bst blood of
tthe Revolutionary soldiers mingled in the veins
of Butler
Mr. Edmunds read some portions of the testi
taken in tie Kuklux inve'tiga ions in isit
alch Mr Butler d-fined his position on the
eetions then exciting the country, in which
nds claimed that Butler was not placed in
attitude of a good and loyal "itizen.
Mr. Hill recurred to the Kellogg-Spofford
and repeated hl; assertion of fraud and
truption on Kellogg's part. He denied that
urpose of recommittinp was for dely, butt
imted that the cause of justice demanded the
mmittal of the crase.
Mr. Cameron, of Wisconsin, alluding to a re
rk of Mr. Patterson's, that no outrages had
rred in the county in which Mr. Butler
, said Mr. Patterson had not full knowledge
counti, s of the State he came from; he
not surprised that Mr. Patterson should be
on the geogranhy of South Carolina. for
W .5 ome time since he had been there.
Pattersoa--I have been there since the
r fromnt Wiseontin has.
O..eron-But you did'not staythere long.
d laugh'er.l
erence havin heen made to the fact that a
of publas had by letterdorsed
a end hoorsble harter o
had sworn before ihe investigating rcmmitteo
that he would not beholieve uniler oath the very
mant who had thus lndorsed him.
Mr. Mlerrimon nrguedrl to show that Don
Adams. who had testilled against Butler. was
unworthy if b"lief.
Mr. Sargnut said it was the impression
whlich hadl prevailed,. and whieh still rirevailed.
that Mr. Butler was elec'ted to the Senate as a
reward for political servi;os, and thatl part of
said services wis an alleZged Iionnection with the
llamltbrg massacre. In v ow of the prevalence
of that impreission. It was proper to inquire how
fair Mr Butler was corne',rneid In the said riot.
He then proceeed- to read from reptortis of
meetings of colored men ini Houth Cartolina, and
from testimony taken by the sveral commit
tees, to show that Butletr wtas accused oif om
pticity with that, riot. lullh a collrce as hI ad
pre\iatled In South Carolina. andl whih'l had
resulted in retlurnling him to, l. Senonate. wlas
a leggilnmate subjiect of inquiry by the HSnate.
He referred to the way in wll ih the Republican
imajoriti e in oith Carolinia hliad vanlihel, and
said It was all the result of the riots that had
boten ciiiuliitid.
Mr. Sanlii.tbutry wanted to brinar the Senate
back io the quIttislion actluallyv before l,. whlill
was the recommitniout oi tit) he ll.gg,'t-t. I'o

wOME SENATORI.
Pen Pictures of a Few Representatlve
Ken a tors.
[Boston lHerald.]
(IORDON OF GEORGIA.
Conspicuous among the gentlemen from the
South is. Jhn B. Gordon, of Atlanta. He was
wounlded eight times in Confederate battles,
and bears the mark of a sear upon his cheek.
He is tall, of commanding presence, with
straight black hair, blue eyes and a not
wholly patrician nose. His colleague, "Ben"
Hill, looks less like a soldier and more like a
scholar. lie is tall and bent in the shoulders
and wanders about with his hands behind
him in a dreamy abstracted way. His hair
is slightly tinged with gray, his eyes are
blue, and he is much given to meditation at
dinner and at other inopportune times. His
speches are good, his eyes clear in their out
look, and the prevailing expression of the
man, both in person and countenance, is one
of sadness. Among the most conspicuous for
form and face is Senator
DAVID DAVTIS OF ILLTNOTS.
Weighing over 300 pounds, he has to have a
special chair built for his benefit. But were
his ligure smaller, his head and face would
command attention. The most intimate
friend of Abraham Lincoln, a certain rever
ence clings to his name which is well sus
tained by his i-resence. hiis head is large, his
face strong, and the whole expression of his
countenance benignant. The silken softness
of hislhair is particularly noticeable, in spite
of his immense size, indicating, as it does,
fineness of temperament. If the other Sena
tors were troubled with his talent for listening,
the Senate would indeed be what it now often
is not, a truly judicial body. Not a Senator
opens his mouth, but the ex-Justice and
great Senator approaches as near as possible,
in order to catch every word that falls from
his lips. As a seat of ample proportions had
to be built especially for him, this sometimes
causes somne inclnvenience. Yesterday, as
Senator Maxey,. of Texas, was speaking,
Judge Davis appi'uached and took a seat near
him. The chair, rebelling at the unusual
weight, softly gave way, and dropped the
great Senator on the floor.
JAMES G. BLAINE,
of Maine, though among the new Senators, it
seems superfluous to describe, so familiar is
his face and figure. Still, in a few years,
his appearance has greatly changed. He has
grown bulky, his hair has grown gray, and
the fatal water sacks of the sleepless have
filled about his eyes. In stature and presence
he is still one of the most remarkable men of
the Senate. In the same number of years he
has grown old even more than Conkling.
GEORGE F. HOAR,
of Concord, so long familiar in the House,
presents a new face to the Senate. In its con
tour, coloring and expression it is strongly
like that of Horace Greeley, and even the
tones of his voice recall to his friends the
presence of the great journalist. Since be
cominig a Senator MIr. Hoar has improved in
presence and in manner. He is in person
iore serene, and in speech more affable. He
is clear-headed, and nearly always in the van
of advanced ideas. He is likely to make a
mark in the Senate of which Massachus'etts,
even, need not be ashamed.
STANLEY MATTHEWS,
the only Senator who is supposed to be able
to whisper in the presidehtial ,icr. He is not
so imposing looking a mortal as Conkling,
who won the high insignia last year of whis
perer at the White House, but is quite the
average Ohioan. His extremely sanguine
temperament glows in the red-yellow hair
and heard, in his beaming blue eyes and
blooming cheeks. He looks like a younger
Brigham Young. That is, he looks like the
pictures of Brigham Young. I would be the
last person on earth to accuse this gentleman
of resembling the disgusting Mormon in
character or habits. Mr. Matthews seems
rather a man of refinement than of great
mental force. He dresses with extreme care.
His high white collar is faultless, his head is
fine, his brow commanding, his countenance
open, but his nose, slender and rather flat, is
no' the nose of power. It will never cleave
his way to eminence, like the proboscis of
Evarts, for example.
The Basque Provinces.
[Oourier-JournaL]
The old trouble is breaking out again In
Spain. The government is trying once more to
make the Deople of the B.s ue provinees (Gi
puzcoa, Aav, Blcay and Uthper Navarre) pay
taxee lik the k eople of the other provincs.,
sad they deilneto do so, falling baek, as usual,
un th*m Ifoeurs or tdIII..Rom eO tita
tional privilegies. by whihlr they are exempted
from all taxes and imposts exc.eot such as theif
own provincial councils may levy on the peo
pie. These exemptions are claimed on roynd
doree's dJlting btck to the thirteenth century.
and en three or four occasions, when the PDi
ilh tings and unoeens have set them aside, tbe
iasrlqu people have revolted, and have alway
Rueeoeded in retnining their privileges. T'e
junta at Victoria has just refused to comply
with Alfonso's decree, anrd there may bae
another revolution. The Spanish overnment
is hard pushed for funds and believes the
ltasques should be coerced like the other ~ov

BORDER MEN, IMENT.
A Warlike Feeling in Mexlce whlelb I
Reciprocated In Texas.
[Chicago Times.]
ST. Louis. Nov. 25.-Capt. T. J. Hall of th
Texas S, ate troops, arrived her to-night, H.
commands the company that rendered suach e
cellent service under CaA.l MNally during e
border trouble sorae months ago. Theoomlpa
nfy consists of thirty-five pi ked men, each o4
whom is armed with the authority of a deputy
sheriff. A regular military orgafizsation F
maintained and the company patrols a taja
section of the border. Capt. Hall states th
much apprehension is felt along the border u
in fact throughout all the State. of comtni
trouble with Mexico, and the people are beralg
both the Hiate and national government ica
better protection. The Governor is organisin.,
regiments of State troops to hold in readine.s
in case they are needed, and petitions are being
forwarded to Washington for additional eavaLr
regim-nts on the frontier. Capt. Hall is pue
from the border, where he has spent most ofh s
time for several years pact, and he says the feel
ing in Mexico is very bitter against the United
States. The Mexicans think they would be sue
cesstul in case of war, and hence are rather
anxious to provoke a disturbance. This is the
feeling among the people, who say they wou
remain in this territory to fight, and c
repel any invasion the United tates col
make. "There is no tradit on in history of
feat among them," said Capt. Hall. "They cele
brate the bat le of Buena Vista with the sa.me
pomp as the execution of Maximilian."
s-ems that they have boasted so habitually that
they have deluded themselves into the belief
that they were never defeated. As an evidoe
of the hostile feeling among the Mexican pop
lace, Gen. Canales was forced to resign Lis p-.
sition in the M.xcearl army for surrendering _L
the authorities three notorious robbers. The
people denounced him as a traitor, and threat
ened to mob him. The Dia~ government is en
deavoring to enforce some a-gre' of law. hta
Capt. Hall thinks the populace will force a war.
lie says that any Mexican who commits a crien
on the Ame' ican side not only finds protection
among the Mexican people bu' is madeahero
of. The Mexicans say that the Texas border is
too far west, anw they intend to force it back to
the Nueces river if it takes war to do it.
