.. ?.TT- ? ' .?
thoDhair as moat extraordinary; that
when a quorum -was not proaonk, aa
disoloaed by u motion to adjourn, a
further.motion to adjourn wan not to
order; no an'oh ruling had ever beforo
been heard ou thia floor.. He then
said that it was a most extraordinary
spectacle, that with fifty Republican
Senators a quorum oonld not be kept,
and tbo quorum here to-night had
been maintained by . tbo Demooratio
Senators. Mr. Sargent said only two
Democrats 'had answered to their
names on the last roll call;' he wanted
the country to know that. If they are
here; why don't they answer to their
names? After some farther disoas
sion, another motion to adjourn was
made and lost?ayes 12; nays 33. Mr.
Merrymon resumed the floor, and ar?
raigned in severe terms the polioy of
the Republican party toward the South
and the disastrous effects to the well
being of society and the material
prosperity of the seotion,which ho said
was the result of that polioy. He said
the President was responsible for mili?
tary interference in Louisiana, which
was in violation of the Constitution.
Mr. Stewart defended the Republican
party, and its glorious acts and ser?
vices to tbo country, and said its oon
tinaed existence was necessary to the
[salvation of the Union and preserva?
tion of liberty. You?(to the Demo?
cratic Senators) ?have no more chance,
the way you are going on. to carry the
next Presidential election, than you
have to carry away this Capitol on your
bocks. The way you are talking now,
the people of the North will think
they had better trust tbe Republican
party u little longer. They thought
yoa were going to be a good boy, lust
November, but they have found yon
Out now. He did not want auy better
documents for the next Presidential
eleoiion than Demooratio speeches
that would be made in the next Con?
gress.
Mr. Edmunds submitted the follow?
ing resolution, as a substitute for the
one pending:
Resolved, That the Committee on
Privileges and Elections be aud is
hereby instructed to report forthwith

government exists in Louisiana, and
I providing for the election of a Go?

the State of Louisiana, and all other
State offioers who, by the Constitution
of tbe State, are to be elected by a vote

agreed to and the Indian appropria?
tion bill was proceeded with. After

the Senate, at 4 40 P. M., adjourned?
a ooutinuoas session of nearly tweoty

Tariff Bill und the Tax Bill, debate on

by order of the House?the pending
question being the motion made yes?
terday by Mr. Southard, to strike out
the entire first section, as amended by
due's amendments, increasing the
duties on ohampagne fifty per cent.
This motion was disagreed to?ayes
(14; nays 96. Mr. Randull then moved
to make the tax on spirits nine cent-*;
rejected. Mr. Banning, of Ohio,
moved to strike out the proviso of the
first section, which taxes stock on baud
at fifteen cents; rejected. Mr. Kasson,
of Iowa, moved to amend by a further
proviso, exempting tho distiller from
the payment of the tax iu cases
where bona fide contracts woro
modo for sale and delivery, on or bo
fore February 10, 1875, but making
the purchaser liable for the tax;
adopted. Mr. Gaockel moved to strike
out the seoond section, whioh imposes
an additional tax on tobacoo. He said
this would fall entirely upon the West
and Sonth, as it affected tbe commoner
kind of tobacoo, and did not affect the
tobacco that went into cigars. The
Connecticut tobacco was, therefore,
untouched. The tobacoo debato was
oontinaed until 5 o'clock, when tho
committee rose. Mr. Cobum, of
Indiana, from the Select Committee
on Affairs ia Alabama, reported the
