As so much de pends on the course to be pursued, the; credit of the State l>eiiig some what involved, the people! expect prompt action in the premises. Judging from the prevailing executive euergy, we are not to be disappointed. But little time, however, should be lost in temporizing with- parties, some of whom seemed to have, thought them selves life tenants of the property in question, with entailments attached." ' We have received' several other letters along the same ]ine, have no ticed a few articles on the subject in our weekly exchange and have been spoken to on the subject by several members of the Geueral Assembly. It is becon^ing evident that a* sentiment in favor of the State's mining its own phosphate is growing in some quar ters.

VV^ ply with the -practical aspect oftn? question, for the arguments on that' aider are sufficient without apj>ealiug toihose on the other side. In the first place, the idea that any great saving will result from the use ot convict labor is erroneous. Very little unskilled labor is employed in mining river rock. The expense for item is not more than an eighth of the cost of mining rock. This unskilled labor costs very little more than con Vict labor. I The State has no plant with whicl to operate its river mines, and such plant would cost at least 8250, 00( The State has no money with whic to buy a plant Suppose it obtains tl money by issuing bonds. The inte est on the bonds would eat up a vei large portion of the profits, if the were any, from the mining of riv rock. In the present condition of t river rock iuduetry, per cent. 1 n! amount of interest that would ist charged on the bonds issued to p at chas*e a plant, is a large estimate the profit What then would be to the State? Just what it lias b< getting in the shape of royalty.

I have thus far proceeded un der the strict letter of the rules; but what position the majority shall take on this question will depend very much on the attitude of the minority. I liope that before ? this dejj^ate is through, the majority will be found by my side, ready to insist on its con stitutional right to amend the rules, whereby the Senate can carry out the will of the majority. There was somethiug in the last re mark of Hjll that seemed to convey to Butler's mind the idea either that Hill was not sure of a majority, or else that he was weakening in his posi tion. He made some remark about Hill comiug over finally to the side of the minority. "I am making prog ress with him, said Butler, pleasant ly: "I think ^e is a little on our side now, aDd when the persuasivs elo quence of the Senator from Nevada has had a little Wther effect, I think he will drop entirely on our side. (Laughter.) I thiuk that, perhaps, if the New York elections were over, he would be on our side altogether. (Renewed laughter ) I do not know about that, but I think it may have some influence. (Laughter.) Butler then addressed himself to a criticism of Mills' ^statement, yester day, that the government was in a state of paralysis; and said that it was the strongest government^ the face of the earth; and that if it had not such gigantic power, such valiant war riors as himself and the Senator from Texas would not have been in the Senate chamber measuring swords. , The statement that the government was payalyzcd seemed to him absurd and ridiculous. ! Butler then drew a ludricuous pic ture of Mills aud Sherman joining in a cordial, loving, voluptuous embrace. {Laughte^ He felt, in coutemplat ing it, likee^claimiug, with Hamlet, when the ghost ofshis father present ed itself: ^Angfels and ministers of Grace defend us!" a picture of the arts, he added ? "the Senator from Texas and the Senator from Ohio embracing each other over the silver question. If that is not an in stance of where of extremes meet, I do not know where we could fa'nd an illus tration. And. if we live long enough, we shall behold another scene, which will furnish a spectacle never before presented to the American people or to any j>eople.

(Laughter.) "Then," continued Butler, '-the Senator from Texas taunted those of I us who vote with the venerable and ' , distinguished Senator from Kansas [ (Peffer) for following the Populists; . that the Senator from Kansas is the exponent of all isms aud wild ideas; a that he is a wild-eyed man (laughter), a leading as astray, and says.

Seward used to tell a story that seemed to give him great joy to repeat. Wh^n he was a member of the state senate the first time he re ceived a message from one of the most distinguished politicians in New York asking for an interview. Mr. Seward felt pleased to l>e honored thus, and arraying himself in his Sunday clothes, which consisted of a blue broadcloth coat, cut swallow tail fashion, light col ored trousers strapped over the gaiters, a very high dickej collar and stiff stock and a bell crowned beaver hat, he went to call on the distinguished man. He was recei\fed in the parlor, and the po)i* tician, while courteous, was 661ft and distant, treating him with the utmost formality. Mr. Seward said, "I thought perhaps you had some special business wfth me." vNo, sir; I do not think of any? iu fact, I supposed yon were paying me a %11 of mere respect." c ' "But I received a message from you." "I do not remember to have sent one. I am expecting this afternoon a visit from Senator Seward. Maybe my re quest has miscarried. I did not catch your name." "Why, I am Senator Seward, gen eral." The politician arose from his, seat, went toward Seward, put his hands on his shoulders and said: "Well, senator, you will pardon me, I know. I supposed you', were a young beau who liad called with alurking desire to meet my jja'u&k saying that >ung er.
