the acts relating to Chinese emigration, and
said lie would, as soou as practicable, ask
the Senate to take action on it. It was placed

'he hill to provide for the compulsory
education of Iudian children was taken
from the calendar. Senator Vest's bill of
la ving a similar object, was sub
stituted for it and it was passed after having
been amended oij motion of Senator Call, so

PENSION BILL.
The dependent pension bill was taken up,
anil Senator Wilson, of Iowa, moved as an
amendment to insert the words “from in
firmities of age,’’ so as to pension all ex-
suftcring “from infirmities of age or
ntal or physical disability.’*
In the debate, which took place on the
amendment, Senator Plumb delivered an
eloquent eulogv on the army, referring par
ticularly to tin- fact that when the war
closed, the army could have placed one of
its leaders at the head of the government
and could have dictated its own terms, but
had asked nothing except to be permitted to
disband and return to peaceful callings. lie
did not believe that any patriotic inan, any
man who looked with patriotic ferver on
that portion of the country’s history, when
two million men sprang to arms to maintain
the government, would ever be willing to
pose the enactment of any law
whereby any of the men should
be drawn from the poverty and given at least
decent livelihood. The bill as it came
from the committee was perhaps a step in the
right direction; but it was not what it ought
to be, and he had songht to make it better.
There was to be. he said, no insinuations in
tfccocimU: 02 elsewhere that Union soldiers
to be the beneficiaries under the bill in
the sense of being supplicants or unworthy
persons. He «lid not think that partisanship
would go that far, and, if it did, he believed
that the American people would; rebuke it.

of Senator Vest, of Mitnouri, in the
Senate Yentcrtlny in Opposition to

n*»d Amendments.

SPEECH OF SENATOK VKST.
Senator Vest -»ai»l that he hail not hail the
slightest ideo^when he spoke to the Wilson
ndnient of producing a hurst of fervid,
atriotie eloquence which the Senate had
just listened to. They pad heard a got
deal ahnnjygul^gHpjaiMid veteran soldiers,
the State orM'istfouri there were no Fc«l-
,1 noldiers in the alms house*, and he was
>ud to mv there were no Confeilerate f-ol-
in the alms houses either. When Gen.
e surrendered at Appomattox there was
hut a handful left of that splendid army
which had fought and which had been bat
tered and beaten bask by overwhelming
numbers. Out of the companies which had
gone into that terrible struggle from 125 to
180 men strong, only ten had gone back to
their kindred ami their homes. The South
to-day was covered with maimed and
crippled soldiers who had been shot and
shelled, and sabre struck for their iionest
•onvictions and they asked for no pension
and they would not take it.
TIIP.Y WSRB NOT IN ALMS ROUSES
and none of them had been se*n begging
for bread. Whence then came the talk of
Federal soldiers in the alms houses? They
were not there. He was tired and sick of
insinuations of rohborVp pretense and
hyprocricy in the mine of the true nnd gal
lant soldiers of the Union. lie had personal
friends among them, and y as he had safd be
fore, he would give to every disabled or de
pendent soldier of the Federal army and to
the widows and orphans of those who had
lost their lives in the service, the last acre of
land and the lost dollar, lie would have
jiess, destroying whole nations in a single
day.
“The mnrksmauship of the Persian prince
in the Antbtaii Nights, whose arrows crowed
mountains and riven aud despised space in
their flight, had been nothing to
THAT CONFEDERATE SOLDIER.
Ills bullet must have hit two or more at
the same time and struck where it was not
aimed. Fifty per cent, of the host of the
Union army were applicants for pensions on
account of disability. Who, he asked, be
lieved that they were honest applications?
Who believed that these pension bills had
not degenerated into political abuse which
cried aloud in the faces of all honest men
for redress? He had great regard
for many of his friends on the oppo
site side of the chamber, and in the
words which he had spoken he had wished
to give an opportunity to some of them who
had lurked back in the contest over the bill
to show his shining lance among the “Con
federate brigadiers’’ and try to carry off the
Republican nomination for the Presidency.
A recent dispatch from Paris has caused po
litical candidates to become as thick
“leaves in Valambrosa.” Before that dis
patch had come uuder the yeasty waves of
the ocean, the Republican party had been in
the condition of tne man who, having gone
home.some hours before his usual time in the
morning and having been asked why he had
gone home so soon, replied that everv other
place ir town was shat up. The doors of
the Republican party were now open and
Presidential candidates were coming to the
front without limit as to quantity or locality.
The Senate has been engaged for some days
post in
A POLITICAL AUCTION
for the soldiers’ vote. First had come his
friend from Nebraska, (Mauuctoou) bucked
by the Grand Army of the Kepublio, and he
(Vest)had listened with real gratification to
his dulcet and modulated voice from the be
ginning to the end of his speech. Even
that Senator’s flings at the President of tiie
United States had not detracted from the
general merit of his bid for the soldier vote;
and when he received a floral tribute as a
token of regard from his admiring constitu
ents behind him, he (Vest) had hut one sin
gle suggestion to make, and that waa that
lilies should have been embroidered over
the portals of the White House. That was
the object of all the debate, of all the bid
ding for the soldier vote of the country in
the coming contest. When the Senator from
NebVoska look his seat, hc( Vest i had thought
that the bid was in his favor, but the present
occupant of the chair, the Senator from
Maine (Frye) had “caught the eye of the
auctioneer,’’—the Grand Army of the Re
public, and had “gone one better.’’ That
Senator was prepared to vote a pension to
every man wno nad served a day in the Fed
eral army. He (Vest) waa
ABOUT TO KNOCK DOWN TIIE PRIZE
to the Senator from Maine when his friend
from Kansas (Plumb) came to the front and
outbid the Senator from Maine by an amend
ment to the bill which would increase the
expenditures under it fifty or seventy-five
million dollars. He (Vest) then had been
strongly of opinion that the auction should
close and the prize be given to the Senator
from Kannas, but then the Senator from
Illinois (Cullom) bad come to the front and
had made a bid from that great prairie State
which had staggered Ills (Vest’s) conviction
us to the propriety of closing the sale. Sine
that time he had been in a condition <
anxiety, waiting to hear from other bidders i
the great national auction. The Scout
hud not yet heard from his dulcet-tone
friend from Iouu (Allison) who had kept his
sent und merely nodded acquiescent**
most extreme propositions lor the be
ex-soldiers. Nor had the Senate yet heard
from the distinguished Senator fro
fSherman), who, in such a contest, ought
certainly to come to the front and
BID SOMETHING FOR THE VOTE,
which, as the candidates thought, was t
termine the contest. Neither had the Sen
ate yet heard from the presiding officer (In
galls), who had been nominated by the Dis
trict of Columbia, and every one knew that
the District of Columbia only acted from the
most disinterested and unselfish motives. He
(Vest) would rather have a nomination front
the District of Columbia than from any State
in the Union, because (as everyone knew) it
came from the heart and
.never from the pocket. No
man, woman or child in the District had any
other object than the promotion of the na
tional honor and prosperity; and so, when
he read in a Democratic paper of Washing
ton last Sundav, before attending church,
that the presiding officer of the Senate was
the nominee of the District of Columbia, he
hod said: “Eureka!
WE HAVE FOUND THE MAN
at last, and the question is settled.”
The whole of Mr. Vest's speech was list
ened to with the closest attention by the
TRAIN ROBBED.

talk that Congreu. hud not done enough for
Union loldiera when the country had naid
out since 1865 eight hundred and eightr-tnree
million dollar! for pensions—liberality urn
mralleh d in the history of the world. The
ries, and his felicitous sketch of the Itepub-
lican candidates and their sup|K>sed respect
ive bids for the soldier vote seemed to be
enjoyed with equal zest on both sides of the
chamber.
In conclusion Mr. Vest said: “Partisan or
non-partisan, uiy conscience requires me to
thrown its Unce into tiie debates of Congress
and had sent bills to their Senators for the
purpose of heing enacted. When the Presi
dent of the United States had honestly and
bravely discharged his executive duty and
toed an enactment which he considered
improper,
BE HAD BEE* THREATENED
by officers or that organization with insult if
he dared make his 'presence known in the
city where it held its annual meeting. There
was a limit to human endurance. He had
voted for pension bills, coerced Gy hia posi
tion because lie bnd been a Confederate and
because he was honestly anxious for the
honor and glory of the country; he had voted
be unparliamentary, make the most of it.”
■ OTHER SPEECHES.
After further brief speeches from Senators
Teller nod Plumb, Senator Wilson, of Mary
land, member of the committee on pensions,
declared himself opposed to the bill a* it
now stood amended. He gave the figure* of
the enormnns amount paid in pensions and
thought that the people were opposed to any
further extension of the pension system, ll
was time to cull a halt. The bill aa originally
reported would make the pension list
amount (he said) to one hondred millions,
with tiie amendment put in, it amounted to
$125,000,000, and probably more.

Free Whisky.
From the Greensboro Herald.
The men who are crying aloud for- the
repeal of the internal revenue tax on whis
ky have only one purpose, and that is
transparent. They know that if the tax on
whisky i* repealed there will be no possi
bility of reducing the bunlensome tariff
taxes on the necessaries of life. It is plain
to see that the men who favor the contin
uance of these burdens must be actuated
by other than disinterested motives. As
few save the protected monopolists, trusts
anil other moneyt*d combinations can pos
sibly profit by the enormous taxes which
are ground from the toiling multitude, the
advocates ol the robber tariti' who are nei-
tlu rjof these must in some way, immediate
or remote, have a sclfi>h interest in the
zpoils. _____

Kugrntc'a I.ovo Letter. Sold nt Auction.
From the New York Tribune.
Talking of autograph letters, some in

'rom tho Empress Eugenic, nnd both
amorous. One waa evidently an inter
cepted billet-doux, nnd probably to Prince
Napoleon, when hewn- :imba— ador toMa-
drid, nnd she nnd he were carrying on a
fast flirtation. The style of tiie Empress's
letters is generally 'pa-t;.-. N., idea is
clearly brought nut, and she shows in
them ignorance of all rules of punctuation
and orthography, l'ni.-ja r Merimee knew
the pnveriy of her style, and, as a kind ot
father, dictated those she wrote to the
Emperor before he made her an
offer of marriage. Tiie second
love letter sold at the Salic Svlvestro was
to Martinez Ho-ns, and dated October 3,
1S47. She had come from Brighton to
Bayonne with her mother, and thu.- writes;

preaulon, “The world i- -o evil-minded,”

than in any possible English translation.
Perhaps it might be rendered, “So ill-na

What is remarkable in the letters is an
incapacity to bring out logirnl sequence.
