XXXEXtb Congress—Second Session.
[To New York Associated Press.]
Senate— (Continued from our Third Edition.)
Mr. Trumbull (111.) presented a memorial
of the white loyalists of Louisiana, asking
for the overthrow of the existing State go
vernment there, and the establishment of a
provisional government in its stead, signed
by Gov. Wells rad others.
Mr. Trumbull spoke at some length on
the subject embraced in the above petition.
At the conclusion of his speech, Mr.
Davis (Ky.) rose and said he presumed Mr,
Trumbull intended his remarks more for
the Blinois Legislature than for the Senate
of the United States. He understood there
was a senatorial election pending there,
and he hoped Mr. Trumbull would succeed.
Mr. Trumbull replied angrily to Mr.
Davis, saying that he was not influenced by
any such motives as those imputed to
him.
The morning hour expired, and the sub
ject of the petition went over.
The bill to admit Nebraska was taken up.
