Wood, IN CONGRESS TODAY. Discussing the Cloture Resolution in A VOTE WANTED TOMORROW Mr. Gorman Objects and De- nounces Yesterday's Deci ion. SLIGHT BREEZE IN THE HOUSE SENATE. The Senate met at 11 o'clock in continuation of yesterday's session and the Vice President immediately recognized Mr. Cockrell to pro- ceed with his speech, pending which Mr. Gor- man raised the point that there was no quorum Present. During the call Mr. Chandler (N.H.), who has been absent for some days, made his appearance in the Senate chamber. y thirty-eight Senators responded, but at 11:10 ‘the requisite number to make a quorum forty-five) had appeared, (the last being Mr. SizeTan) cad bane toe pacoeeded ee MR. GORMAN OPJECTS. Mr. Morrill asked consent to offer resolu- tion for distributing public documents to agri- cultural colleges, but Mr. Gorman said that he was compelled to object to any business what- ever except the regular order. MR. HOAR ON THE PENDING PROPOSITION. Mr. Cockrell thereupon resumed the floor in order to continue his argument against the cloture resolution. He yielded, however, to ‘Mr. Hoar, who said that he desired to add one idea to what he had said last evening. He re- garded the pending proposition, be suid, as he should if the case had arisen in the Supreme Court of the United States. There was no 01 who would not recognize the importance of absolute, free and untrammeled discussion in that tribunal, and that no member of that court should be curiailed in stating his opinion to his brethren or in any modification of any judgment be pronounced. But if it could of that augnst tribunal that in the case of rome controversy about to pass into judgment, af- fecting the interests of large portions of the American people and exciting their feelings, four members of the nine chould undertake to read opinions alternately day after day, night after night and week after wee one taking turns with the other—and hav- ing read all the decisions — which had been made since the foundation of the gov- ernment, and in that way to prevent the action of the court altogether, or to postpone it until the judgment could ‘cease to be effectual, would any body doubt that it would be the duty of that great tribunal to interpose and to adopt some rule that would put limit to the length of opinions, or to the number of arguments that should be made by the minority? Would anybody claim that that action would be inconsistent with the fullest respect for un- trammeled freedom of discussion or sugges tion when used ir. good faith? It was almost an affront to the name and character of that il- | lustrious bench even to suppose possible what | he had supposed. But that bench was cer- tainly no more important, august or illustrious and no higher in constitutional funetions than the Senate of the United States. ‘MR. COCKRELL RESUMES HIS SPEECE. Mr. Cockrell again took the floor and re- sumed his argument against the clotare rule. ‘The article which he had been reading at the close of his remurks yesterday (Mr. Hoar’s in the Youths’ Companion) wax, he said, a specific answer to what Mr. Hoar suid yesterday, and also to what he said this morning; and he asked that the Senate should have it printed as separate document, in order that it might be treasured up by Senstors with other valuable documents and transmitted to their children. He went on to read and comment upon sen- tences in the article. As to one of them he said that no severer condemnation of the gag rule of the House had ever been pronounced. As to another of them, reading “The process of el is slow and is meant to be slow,” Mr. Cockrell said that he wished the Senator’ from Rhode Island (Mr. Aldrich) to heed that in his reckless efforts to trample under foot the par- Liamentary usage of the Senate which had pre- vailed through the past century. Another sentence which Mr. Cockrell read with em- phatic commendation was this: “If any citi- zens be di to feel impatient under thix restraint of the will of the majority let them remember that it was in that way that our fathers laid the foundations of this govern- ment below the frost.” COMMENDED TO MR. HOAR'S PRAYERFUL CONSID- ERATION. He commended that sentence to the prayer- fal consideration of the distinguished Senator from Massachusetts in his wild and reckless im- patience to do the thing proposed. That Sena- tor had put forward this Senator frora Rhode Inland to trample under foot every sentiment and thought contained in that great article. He (Mir. Cockrell) almost felt humiliated at the Porition of the Senator from Rhode Inland in ringing forward his resolution, which he must have done without the advice or approbation of the Senator from Masmohusetts, He also ex- ressed hisastonishmentat Mr.Hoar'sstatement yesterday (in reply to Mr. Harris) that the pro- posed rule eon ® provision for offering amendments to a measure; because that statement showed that the Senator from Massachusetts was ig a rule, the contents of which he did ‘and that rule was to be Reed-ed, ‘and Hoar-ed sired tas ctor kistan,wrinsunocenbderstion, other house, without con without deliberation and without any knowl: ‘of what they were. ol salai polating onli temsasciarty seek "ae ou Pn Seed Sx costed doles cateieet lots sos, onded by “a ity of the Senators present,” instead of by “a. majority of the Senate,” so Geek, be suid it thane werd Sad three Senators present two of them could enforce the gag law. ‘MR. EDMUNDS EXPLAINS, Mr. Edmunds explained that the same locu- tion was to be found in the Constitution, but te U: Cockrell i i Mr. Cockrell—That was the last of that Tesolution. ‘WANTS 4 YOTE TOMORROW. Mr. Cockrell, having yielded the floor at the request of Mr. Teller, the latter inquired of Mr. Aldrich how long atime he unanimous consent that the vote should be taken on the resolution and amendments at 5 5 o'clock tomorrow. MR. GORMAN OBJECTED. Mr. Gorman objected and declared that the step taken by the Senate yesterday was one which had overturned the whole history of the Senate, and that the decision of the presiding officer and the vote of the majority were in di- rect opposition to every rule of the Senate and of the general parliamentary law. He thought oat the asking for unanimous consent was proposed, and be was ted that the Senator from Rhode Inland re- sorted to that proper and orderly method rather than depend upon the ipse dixit of a presiding officer, whose reputation for intelli- gence and fairness asa presiding officer was yet to be made. He predicted that the time would come when the precedent set in the case of Andrew Jnck- son would be followed in the Senate, and when a deep black line would be drawn around the journal of yesterday's proceedings. After this episode Mr. Cockrell proceeded with his argument against the proposed rule. HOUSE. The Journal having been read in ite usnal form, Mr. Breckinridge of Arkansas objected to its approval until the remaining portion (rela- tive to the reference of bills, &c.,) was read. The Speaker requested the gentleman to spec- ify what portion of the journal he desired to have reported. Mr. Breckinridge replied that it was not neo- essary for him toenumerate, He called for the reading of the journal, which the chair admitted had not been read in full. The Speaker suid that the chair had not ad- mitted or denied that the journal had not been read in full. If the gentleman would state what portion had not been read the chair would alo on the question. < have ir. Breckinridge—Tbat portion nal relative to the reference of resolutions has not been read.
