Tho Amuesty bill occa~ slonod the first political dohinto of tho acesion, nnd it cansed the promincat leaders of the par- tien to bo pitted sgalnst each other. Blano crossed lances with Randall and Cox, and tho frionds of both partics claim tho victory. It cams about in this way: Directly tho morning Lour had endod, Randall moved to bring up hua uncondltional Amuesty bill for debato without | amendmont, and Blaine warned him Isst wook that the bill could not pass without opportunity to offer amendment. This werning was fulflled. Randall, unmindful of Toutor's apothegm, that the cesenco of all legis Iative action 18 smendment, pressed tho provious question, which wonld ent off amendmont. It was useless to contend sgainst numbers, and Blaine resetved hin parliamentary skill for o lato ntage. Tho previcus question was orderod by 169 yens to 95 nays. Thie roprosentod about tho vota by which tho bill ultimately failod to pass, it baving received CONSIDERABLY LESS TTIAN TWO-THINDI, Having secured the ordering of ths main question, Raudsll wea procceding to dis- poss of tho hour ho supposed he had, when ho discovered that Blamo had con- vinced Bpeakor IKerr that the rules did not allow him the time. The bill was then brought toa yoto and failed to pass, not recoiving two- thirds. Thea followed as fine an ZXNIBITION OF PANLIAMENTARY FENCE aa {s often witnoased, Bluino was quick upon his feot and moved to reconsdor. The Sposker was compelled to recogoize Lim, and the mation cut the surprised Randall off at tbe knee. Blalno thus secursd tho heur which Randall had refused nim, and securod it by his aptness in parlia- montary rules and not by any courtesy of the Democrats, This speech was as remarkablo for its aubstanco =8 it was for the mauner o which be had obtained an opportunity to doliver {t. 1% was one of tho most torrible philippica that has been hoard in Con- greas for many years, Sunzet Coxcharacterized itaa *n rod and flery spocch.” It was red and flery, as it burned into the conaclencos of tho ex-Confodorates.
