By an Objection.
Washington, Nov. 20.—During
the morning hour, several bills were
introduced and referred.
The consideration of the hill to ena
ble the Indians to become citizens of
the United States was resumed nnd
discussed by Whyte, Thurman and
Ingalls.
The bill naturalizing Indians was
postponed to December,
During the debate Mr. Thurman
said he saw no necessity for the pas
sage of this bill. There was nothing
in our laws now to exclude an Indian
from naturalization. the word
“white” having been stricken out,
The provision in this bill ullowing
the Indian to retain his tribal inter
ests would work mischief. It would
enable the Indian to become a citizen
and at the same time give him the
benefit of the immense sums annual
ly distributed to bis tribe by the Gov
ernment. He was apprehensive that
the bill, if it should become a law,
might give a little trouble, if that
chief Sitting Bull, or, as the French
called him, Bocuf Amryant should
happen to come over on this side of
the line, as our commissioners did
not succeed in toleing him over. They
were not so fortunate as the commis
sioners who went to Louisiana und
toled Packard’s negroes awny,
[Laughter.] If they had toled
Sitting Bull into this countr;
and one of his braves sliou
become a citizen of the United States
and should then claim a part of the
annuity that belonged to Sitting Bull
and his band, he (Mr. Thurman) ven
tured that Sitting Bull would say to
him not exactly in the words but ex
actly with the idea, “Under which
king, Bezonian, speak or die; under
King Sitting Bull or King Ruther-
‘ t ” [Renewed laughter.] ' ~
ford;” [Renewed laughter.] Mr,
Thurman continuing his argument
expressed the hope that the tint®
would come when the Indians would
adopt the habit of civilized life ami
become citizens of the United States,
and until that time the Government
should treat them kindly and keep all
the treaty stipulations with them.
After Executive session, Thurman
of Ohio, submitted a resolution that
the Committee on Privileges and
Elections be discharged from the fur
ther consideration of the credentials
of M. C.Butler as Senator from South
Carolina.
Mr. Conkling, of New York, sug
gested to his friend from Ohio, (Mr.
Thurman,) that tiie resolution be
withheld till to-morrow morning, un
less something was to be gained by
taking it up this afternoon. The mo
tion to discharge the committee was
unexpected und several Senators who
would like to lie heard in regard^ to
this matter were not here to-day. The
Senator from Vermont (Mr. Ed
monds) was out of tiie city to-duv, but
wonld return to-morrow. A single
objection to-day would prevent the
Consideration of the resolution,
though be did not desire to make
such objection.
Mr. Thurman said he had intended
that a vote on this resolution would
be taken to-day. He merely desired
to liave it taken up now.so as it would
come up its tiie unfinished business
to-morrow. If there should be other
business then of more importance, a
majority of the Senate could lay this
resolution aside.
The matter, after long discussion,
went over. •
The Vice President appointed
Messrs. Davis,of West Virginia; Beek,
of Kentucky; Allison, of Iowa ; In
galls, of Kansas, ami Cameron, of
Pennsylvania, as the special commit
tee to examine the booksand accounts
of tiie Treasury Department in re
tard to alleged discrepancies author
ized by the resolution of Mr. Davis,
agreed to yesterday.
later.
Special to EnquirevBun.]
Washington, November 20.—Mr.
Thurman argued that tiie resolution
submitted by him was a question of
privilege, and it should be disposed
of with all due diligence. He said
lie offered tills resolution with reluc
tance, because he knew the members
of tiie committee would be apt to re
gard R as a reflection upon them, but
lie State of South Carolina had had
but one Senator on this floor since
the 4th of March last. Five weeks of
the present session had elapsed, and
no report had been made on the cre
dentials of Mr. Butler. He did not
propose to go into the merits of the
case now, but us far as lie had been
informed there was no controversy
whatever between tiie contestants
from South Carolina, Messrs. Butler
and Corbin, about tiie facts; so there
was no necessity of going outside of
tiie record to learn the facts. He hail
also been informed that it was not
the desire of either contestant to go
outside of tile record or take testimo
ny aliunde. No report the Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections
could make would prevent a
discussion of tiie cuse in the
Senate. Ordinarily it was tile duty
of the Committee to ascertain tiie
facts ill a ease, but in this ease the
facts were all upon record, and tiie
sooner the matter came before tiie
Senate, tiie better it would be. Be
sides if the Committee on Privileges
and Elections had other cases in
whicli testimony should be taken, it
would be aiding the Committee in its
work to relieve it of this cuse. The
average daily sessions of the Semite
during tba past five weeks had not
exceeded an iiour and a half. Mon'
time lias been given for the committee
work this session than he ever knew
of heretofore. Senators had been en
joying themselves this fine weather
going to the theatre at night as some
of tiie sinners do, and others going to
horse races. This delay in the Soutli
Carolina case was a reproach to the
American Senate.
Mr. Wadleigh, of New Hampshire,
chairman of the Committee on Privi
leges and Elections, argued that it
was not a question of privilege to
move to discharge the committee
from further consideration of the cre
dentials of one claiming to liave been
elected Senator. No member of the
committee who knew what, the work
had been would stand up in tiie Sen
ate and say the committee had been
guilty of tardiness. While the Sena
tor from Ohio (Mr. Thurman) was
attending horse races.
Mr. Thurman—Yes, I was one of
them.
Mr. Wadleigh — resuming — and
theatres, the Committee on Privi
leges nnd Elections was hard nt
work.
Mr. Thurman—If the committee
had made a report on this case, I
would liave been attending to it in
stead of tiie horse race.
Mr. Wadleigh. continuing Ids re
marks, said : The cases of Kellogg
and Spoflord were first taken up by
the committee, and they did not
think it would be proper to lay aside
tiiose eases to take up another. In
his opinion this desire to take this
ease from tiie committee was caused
by tiie fact that the work of the com
mittee on tiie Spoftiird-Kellogg case
was nearly closed. In one or two
days the committee would be pre
pared to decide that case. Upon the
Republican side of tiie chamber Sen
ators supposed the Butler case would
he examined into und reported upon
by the committee, nnd not a Senutor
had prepared himself to discuss it in
tiie Senntei having relied upon tiie
committee to present tiie whole case ;
lienee tiie motion of tiie Senator from
Ohio (Mr. Thurman) was unjust to
the Republican Senators. The Com
mittee on Privileges und Elections
hud shown no desire to delay, und lie
hoped they would he allowed to re-
I«irt upon this case, or, at least, time
should he given for Senators on his
side of the chamber to prepare them
selves for the discussion. He felt it to
he liis duty to object to the considera
tion of the resolution to-day.
Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, by
unanimous consent, spoke of the
question of privilege claimed by the
Senutor from Ohio (Mr. Thurman) for
his resolution, und denied that it was
a privileged question. He referred to
the rules and practice of the House of
Representatives in support of his
argument.
Mr. Thurman said he did not care
whether it was u privileged question
or not, but lie thought he could give
good reasons tosliow it was privileged.
However, lie did not propose to do so
now. He had submitted his resolu
tion and it should he considered. It
seemed that the Senate had no mnn
who knew anything about questions
of order unless he had served an ap
prenticeship in the House of Repre
sentatives. it had been more tlinn
30 veurs since lie (Sir. Thurman) serv
ed ill the House, and therefore he
knew nothing about such questions.
In the Senate they did business as a
set of gntlemen und did not
bother themselves about ques
tions of order. The Chairman
the Committee on Privileges
stated that
made the motion to discharge the
committee from further consideration
of the Eustiscase, and after discussion
withdrew the motion himself, it, was
all done at one session of the Senate,
und therefore could not have been
pending when the committee took up
tile Kellogg case.
Mr. Saulsbury, of Delaware, a mem
ber of tiie Committee on Privileges
nnd Elections said, the motion of the
Senator in the Eustis ease was made
on tiie 10th of October and the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections
did not meet until the 19tli so that all
the east's were before the committee
when it met.
In reply the chairman of the Com
mittee, Mr. Wadleigh said a member
of tiie committee hod culled tiie atten
tion of the members to tiie fact that a
motion would he made to discharge
tiie committee from the further con
sideration of the Butler case, niui
therefore Senators on the other side
of the chamber knew it, and had time
to prepare themselves. The chairman
had said tiie committee had been dil
igent, hut he (Mr. Saulsbury,) must
say that the committee hail ample
time to dispose of the Eustis case, the
Butler case nnd still could have made
the same progress it had oil the Kel-
logg-Snotford case.
t)n Monday last In committee lie
made a motion to take up the ease of
Mr. Eustis, hut it was lost.
Mr. Wadleigh renewed his objec
tion, and the further consideration of
tiie resolution went over until to
morrow.

N ew Orleans, November 17.—The
trial of ex-Speuker Mortimer Carr, on
the second indictment, was called to-

After a lengthy and hitter argument
between the Attorney General and

decided to adopt, the unprecedented
idea of laying the matter before a jury.
With considerable difficulty a jury
was obtained, and "after argument be

clirlnlc llnsboml.
Seven months ago a quiet marriage
was cclcrtmtcd at St. Thomas’ church,
between Robert Stuart and Evelina
Terry Marks. A brilliant reception
followed at the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
and the bride and bridegroom, after
the wedding trip, settled In luxurious
quarters nt the corner of Fifth Ave
nue mid Ninth streets. They had
ample means, and the happiest pros
pects. Two mouths ago the bride dis
covered tlmt her husband was the
slave of hereditary dipsomania, nnd
after she had patiently hut vainly en
deavored to wean him from ids love
of liquor, her mind lost its balance.
On Monday morning last she lay
dead by her own act, while her hus
band, who had not yet recovered
from a debauch, wrung his IuuhIh,
cursed himself nnd shed maudlin
tears over her laxly. Robert Htuiirt,
the husband, was the son of Lieut.
Robert .Stuart, United States
Navy, of Detroit, who died of
alcoholism. His mother is the
wife of ex-Congressman Elijali
Ward, of New York city, und
is now In Europe. When Robert’s
father died he left his children well
provided for, their guardian being
Air. F. I). Tappen, President of the
Gallatin National Bank, who, know
ing Robert’s weakness, and believing
that an active business life would
tend to cure him of it, procured him a
comfortable situation in tiie hank.
The position, however, the young
man was compelled to resign liiHt
month, being continually unfit for
duty through overdrinking. Miss
Marks, the wife, was only twenty-
three years old. She was tiie niece
and adopted daughter of Mrs. Abiel
B. Marks. Miss Marks was a quiet,
refined well-educated girl, somewhat
melancholy in disposition, and in
clined to he religious. The marriage
wus celebrated on tiie 19tli of April
last. Air. Stuart’s mania for liquor
was detected by ids wife aliout
two months ago. As lie
was not of robust phy
sique, a little wine asserted its influ
ence over him for a long time. He
suffered greatly when recovering
from a debauch, and of late hud been
constantly in a dull, quiet state of in
ebriation.' Airs. Stuart often remon
strated with him. hut hIio kept the
secret from everybody hut Air. Tap-
pen until Saturday last, when, goaded
by some harsh language that her hus
band used to her while intoxicated,
she made the chambermaid, Kate
Cummings, her confidant. The
young bride, surrounded by luxury,
was shedding scalding tears as if bro
ken hearted. That night Mr..Stuart
returned home in a maudlin condi
tion and treated his young wife even
more roughly than before, nnd she
passed the night alone in her bed, he
sleeping on a lounge in the sitting
room. Aliout eleven o’clock on Sun
day, Mr. Stuart being out, Mrs. Htu-
art told the chambermaid the re
newed insults slie hud submitted to.
She would rather die, she suid, than
live as she did. The girl tried to con
sole her, hut Airs. Stuart cried con
tinually. Aliout noon she appeared
to liave taken a sudden resolu
tion, and dressing herself hastily,
she went out. returning
few minutes. The girl Kate saw her
in her room shortly after she returned.
Siic was then calm, and was sitting
at the writing desk. Monday, when
she was dead, throe letters were found
on the desk addressed to dear friends.
About six l*. m. on Sunday Mr. Stuart
entered liis apartment intoxicated.
He opened the door of tiie bedroom,
and seeing ills wife lying dressed on
the licil imagined she hud laid down
lo take a liap. He laid down on the
lounge in the parlor and slept till six
o’clock Monday morning, when, feel
ing cold, lie determined on going to
bed, believing that his wife laid un
dressed. When lie opened the bed
room door and saw that his wife still
lay dressed on the lied lie vaguely
apprehended that all was not right,
und stepping to tiie side of the bed,
shook his wife’s arm. Tills failed to
arouse her, uml lifting her head lie
found that she was insensible, pale
and breathing heavily. He endeav
ored to scat her on tiie side of the
bed, hut lie was still under the influ
ence of liquor, and her inert form
slipped from his grasp and slid heav
ily on the floor. Dr. Hubbard, who
was summoned, found the patient too
fur gone from narcotic poisoning to
rally. Mrs. Stuurt died about eight
o’clock Monday morning. Her last
moments were inexpressibly sad.
None of her friends or family had
been summoned, and her husband
became hysterical, wrung his builds,
cried bitterly, Iierently charged
himself with having caused his wife’s
death, and lie heaped curses on liis

with tins)led face and trembling legs,
walked into the deserted room alone,
on the arm of liis guardian, Mr. Tap-
pen. Despite Ids dazed look, he ap
peared to realize Boinctldilgof his aw
ful position. Then the liilwas screw

shoulders of the undertaker’s assist

IX., was the scion of a noble Italian
family, and bom at Sinigoglia May
13, 1792. He was originally intended
for tiie military profession, und went
to Rome to enter the Papal guard,
but slid wing signs of an epileptic ten
dency lie changed liis purpose and
became a student of theology. After
completing Ills studies and receiving
liolv orders, lie remained some time
in Rome nnd took an active part in
the various inqiorlaiil works of char
ity, whicli gave liimu high reputation
for intelligence and energy. This
reputation led to his selection'by Pius
VII. to fill a mission to the Govern
ment of Chili, South America, where
lie acted as “auditor” to Monsignor
Muge, the vicar apostolic of that re
public. Equally faithful and suc
cessful in this ixisition, lie was, on his
return, made domestic prelate of Leo
XII., and President of the Ospizio of
San Michele. In 1829 lie was made
Archbishop of Spoloto, and in 1830
was sent as apostolic nuncio to Na
ples, where he distinguished himself
by liis clliirts to mitigate the raveges
oi' the cholera, then raging there.
The Neapolitans still retain a grate
ful recollection of his self-sacrificing
services ill tlicir behalf 111 those terri
ble days. In 184(1 lie wasm>nted Car
dinal ’ Archbishop of Imolu, where
much political disaffection existed;
hut lie displayed such wisdom and
skill in reconciling differences and
healing dissensions, coupled with
such liberality of sentiment, that
peace und prosperity were speedily re
stored to tiie district.
Pope Gregory XVI. died June 1,
184(1, and on the loth of the same
month Cardinal Ferretti was elected
by acclamation gs liis successor. As
soon as practicable after his consecra
tion Pius IX. set aliout tlu* introduc
tion of certain reforms in the admin
istration of affairs which experience
mid observation Inal convinced him
were necessary as well as desirable,
liis intention was to establish the
papal government on a firm, and yet,
at the same time, popular basis; and
during the brief period that events
permitted him .to follow this pro
gramme, lie not only accomplished
many highly valuable results, liut en
deared himself greatly to the people.
But tiie French revolution of 1848
gave such a tremendous impetus to
Republicanism throughout Ituly, that
the pope felt compelled to adopt a
more conservative course, which nat
urally diminished liis popularity at
once.' The reactionary policy pre
cipitated the inevitable crisis. <>n the
15th of November, 1848, Count Rossi,
tiie papal minister anil adviser, was
assassinated in Rome, and u few days
later the pontiff wus obliged lo take
refuge in the Quirinnl palace; from
whence lie left the city and estab
lished Ids court at Gacla, the first
town in Neaiiolltmi territory. From
Gaeta lie sent, November 27, an
ordolimince to Rome, declaring
void all the acts of the new
government. He also addressed
a formal remonstrance lo tlie Catho
lic sovereigns of Europe, Iml neither
nrdonnunce nor n 'monstrance prod ne
ed iinnicdiiiti'praclicul fruit. In April,
1849, however, the fruit came. A
French force landign at Civita Vee-
cliia, under command of Gen. Oudi-
llot, advanced on Rome, then belli by
native troops led by Garibaldi; and
ufter a seige of thirty days captured
the city and placed within it an army
of occupation. The* 1’apal govern
ment was reinstated, bill the Rope did
not re-enter Romcuntil April 12, 1850.
For Home years Ills rule met with no
serious obstructions, bul in 1859 and
1800 changes in Kuropeun politics
tended to materially weaken tile tem
poral power of the Holy See, and in
September, 1800, the Sardinian troops
entered the Rapid territory and took
■.session of Pcsaro, Ftmo, Urbina,
rugia, and Spoloto. On the 28lli
of the month named, Ancona surren
dered; which left of tiie States of the
Church only Rome, Civita Vecehiu
and some (listriets iipieil by the
French army. The troubles thus be
gan continued with various modifica
tions until 1870, wlicn they culmina
ted in the withdrawal of the Freneli
held by Hie Univlfcial Church—is, by
the Divine assistance promised to him
in the Blessed Peter, jiossessed of that
infallibility with whicli the Divine
Redeemer willed that His Church
should bo endowed in defining doc
trine regarding faith or morals; and
that therefore such definitions of the
Roman pontiffare of themselves, and
not from consent of tiie church, irre-
fomiable.
Pius IX. has not only secured a
place in history by ids occupancy of
the papal throne for hearlya third of
a century and by ids intimate con
nection with some of tiie greatest
events of modern times, but Tie has
stamped the church with the indelli-
ble impress of his genius. Tiie rapid
strides that church is making through.-
out Christendom are due partly, per
haps, to other tilings ; hut mainly, us
we believe, to the indomitable cour
age, the inflexible will and tile won
derful sagacity of its high priest. He
is a man who would have been greut
in any position and in any age ; hut
lie was peculiarly fitted to exhibit
greatness as the supreme ruler of an
organization which, look at it as we
may, lias not now, and never lias iiud,
an equal on earth.
