APPENDAGFAS.
At last we have light. The Penn Squareites,
having fallen back upon the Twentieth, Ward,
in order to take, like Mr: Micawber, "a spring
of unusual magnitude," held a Mass Meeting
last night. No less than sixteen persons were
present, which may seem like a small number,
although Mr. George Wentz assured his fifteen
compatriots that they represented "ninety-five
per cent. of the voters of the Ward," a caleula
lion which puts the whole .political strength of
the Twentieth Ward at a fraction below seven
teen voters.
•
The meeting was an extremely interesting
one, both from the smallness of its numbers,
out of which the chairman found it quite im
possible to appoint a "committee of twenty,"
and also from the fact that it inaugurated
a new system of parliamentary pro
cedure, which will be known hereafter as
Zeilin appendages." These are of the nature
of bob-tails to a kite, or guess-answers to a
conundrum. First, you ask your conundrum:
Wby are we opposed to any buildings on Inde..
pendence Square? Then, you begin to guess
the answer. Thus, you say, Because, it is
" sacred soil." Because, it would desecrate
the birth-place of American liberty. Because,
Independence Square is not at Fifth and ellen,-
nut streets. Because, William Penn ordered
the public buildings on Penn Square., Because,
Olive, Merrick and Juniper streets are much
wider than Walnut, Fifth and Sixth streets.
Because, we are opposed to it. Because, we
are satisfied with our opposition . to it. And
last, and most original of all, Because, Inde
pendence. Square is " sacred soil." Here at
last we have the arguments in • the case.
, fn - Anacryl_suad_rpaannq
with us. None of your Tenth Ward palsy,and
blood, and ashes of your grandmother. True,
Mr. Chairman Maurice got off a moderate
sally about Mecca, which we think we remem
ber to have heard before, froth some othdr
orator, several years ago. But there was noth
ing threatening or dangerous aboubit. There
was a fair attempt to guess Mr. Zellin's conun
drum, and the " appendages," while not very
varied or very lucid, were such guesses as we.
should have looked for. They may be grouped•
under four general heads. First; the sacred
ness of the soil of Independence Square.
&fond ; the inferiority, of Independence Square
the superiority of Penn Square
Fovrth ; the sacredness df the sacred soil
The first and fourth of these arguments are
sufficiently alike to be treated under one head.
Independence Square must" not have any,
buildings upon it. Every brick mist be taken
away, for the place on which they stand is holy
gronnd. Colonel Walborn says so ; Celoucl
Maurice says so; Colonel .Zeilin says so; all
the great colonels of the war, .so far as heard
from, say so. Independence Square has been
profaned these many 'years by court-houses,
Mayor's offices, scientific buildings, Council
chambers," Row" offices, and we are not sure
that the drinking fountains are not near enough
to come within the category of profaning edifices.
But stubborn we still ask our old conundrums :
What made tbe soil of Independence Square
sacred? What has ever been done to mark its
consecration? Ilow would a great temple of
Law,Justice and Government desecrate it ? We
call for "appendages" to these conundrums.
As for the second and third arguments of
the Penn Squareites, they are simple questions
of facts.- The immortal Sixteen of 909 North
Broad street deny that Independence Square
is central to the business community. Well,
but the denial of: the Sixteen does not change
thelocality of a single bank, insurance office,
icolmtinrhouse, store, railroad office,
eustom-house, post-office, trade exchange,
banker, broker, lawyer, business man in
Philadelphia. the " centre " of this Union is
somewhere in Western Nebraska, but there
are comparatively few people prepared to put
the, National Capital in that S4tte. What is
wanted for the public buildings is a convenient
business centre, and that is perfectly supplied by
Independence Square, and dill be so supplied
for a century to come. The argument that
Juniper and Merrick streets are wider than
Fifth and Sixth streets, is so purely a question
of facts that we refer it to the City Surveyor
for an answer.
There was a new and powerful speaker, last
night, named'Wentz. He was opposed to
everybody and everything. Ile abused the
newspapers, and said they had stakes in Inde
pendence Square. no abused the Legislature,
and said it never did anything good but to ad
journ. He abused Councilmen, and said that
they were corrupt. In short he despised
everybody. He does not appear to be a mili
tary man, as most of the Penn Squareites are,
which may account for his not running into
any blood-thirsty threats against the business
men of Philadelphia.
Setionsly speaking, are not the people who
'have worked so bard to get up this spurious
agitation, getting a little ashamed of them=
selves? The real active movers in this factious
epposifion keep out of public view, though they
are well enough known to those who are ac
eustomed to look behind the scenes. They
push forward ambitions people, who are burn
ing to come before the public, and these have
made themselves so supremely ridiculous that
the managers have been compelled to with
draw some of them from the stage. Thus
two of the borers who were sent to Harrisburg
proved such insullerable bores that , Senators
are known to have demanded their recall as the
price of their own services, and the demand
was complied with. We have the names of tall
chose parties, managers, borers and Senators.
wp hope these little meetings will go on.
They allbrd much amusement to the people.
.They afford excellent opportunities for measur
ing the capacities of some of our would-b,!
great men ; and we doubt if they do a n y h arm
to anybody. We can guess nearly all their

STEAM ENGINEERS
While the subject of the inspection of steam
boilers is being agitated, it may be well to call
some public attention to another and kindred
bill now before the Legislature, which proposes
to regulate the appointment of steam engineers,
by reqUiring their examination and approval
by a Board of Examiners, to consist of the
City Inipector of Boilers and his assistants.
At first sight, this looks like a very judicious
piece of legialatiort. But the bill has been so
bunglingly prepared, that its passage would in
flict a serious, nuisance upon the whole manu
facturing community. The law goes into ope
ration «on and after the passage of the ast.
After that day, 11'0 manufacturer can run his
steam engine, and no engineer can earn a dol
lar of wages, until this Board of Examiners
has' been organized, its systerti of exarninationa
arranged, and' the engineer passed its ordeal.
A heavy penalty is imposed upon both em
ployer and employed for any infraction of this
law, and should it pass in its present shape, fif
teen-hundred engineers would be'. thrown out
of employment, and most of them will be
kept out of work for many Months, awaiting
their turn to be examined.
There Is also another objection to 'this bill.
The Inspector is no doubt qualified to examine
engineers and to determine their fitnessifor
their duties. He was appointed, himself,foy
thoroughly competent board of practical me
chanics. But he makes the appointments of
his assistants at his own option, and it may be
reasonably doubted whether all of his subordi
nates are competent to sit in judgment upon
the qualifications of the great body of engi
neers in this city. It a Board of Examiners
could in any way be constituted, of such ma
terial as that which• selected Mr. Lovegrove,
and the impracticable provision which puts
a stop to all the !manufacturers of Philadelphia
on and after the date of the passage of the bill
were stricken out, the measure would be a
good one. As it . now stands, it would be a
very unwise and very troublesome law.
The Free Trade subscription list, published
in the. New York papers, foots up now about
thirty-nine thousand dollars. Appeals are
made to the collectors to hurry up in their
work. Of course nearly all the subscriptions
come from importing houses, or the. New York
branches of European mercantile houses.
Their ,profits, .under a new 'tariff, would be
enormously increased, while American manu
factures would be prostrated, arkd the amount
of money sent out of the country annually to
enrich foreign manufacturers would be multi
plied ten-Sold. 'Conshlering all this, the amount
subscribed for the Free Trade League is sur
prisingly small.
One of the morning papers of this city is
carrying on a one-sided vox with the New
York Tribune's , worthy Pennsylvania agent,
Mr. J. R. Syplitit. We have nothing to do
with the matter, but think it proper to state, in
correction of one of the charges reiterated
against the gentleman in question, that be was
regularly admitted to the bar of Lancaster
county, as a, practising attorney and counsellor
at law, on the 24th day of April, 1862, in proof
of which he holds the official certificate of the
• Court at which he was admitted.

DRAIIIATIC.
Feehter's "Hamlet:,
Mr. Fechter presented at the Walnnt Street
Theatre, last night, a new interpretation of
"Hamlet." It was inevitable that any diver
gence from the straight lima of tradition . in a
personation of 'a character so familiar and
surrounded by such time-honored usages,
should excite wholly different emotions in the
minds of the various spectators. Those who
are the advocates of conservatism in, art,
would find in a representation of this kind,
only such violent and unreasonable departure
from precedent as would make the actor
liable to the charge of profanatien of a hal
owed thing. Radicals would perceive in it the
daring attempt of an original mind to give
form and color to its own high conception ;
to free itself from the trammels cast about the
character by other men, and, bravely disre
garding the, beaten track, to sfride out into
the path Way which seemed to it to lead directly
to the truth. Mr. Fechter's personation justifies
itself. The artist who despises and rejects
conventional rules because they are conven
tional, and who can supply no sufficient rea
son for his action, but, wandering away from
the light of precedent,goes stumbling on wildly
through the darkness, without definite aim or
motive, Is a fool. But the man whO feels that
he cannot find in strict adherence to tradition
a fair opportunity to give full expression to
the inspiration of his soul, and who re-creates
anti casts anew
.the character he has con
ceivedr-sueh a man has genius ; and however
strange his attempt may seem, however great
may be the shock that it gives to our sense of
propriety, we must accept it as at least worthy
of respect and careful comparbien with the
standard interpretations.
Mr, Fechter's " Hamlet " has at any rate the
high merit of originality. The peculiarities
of costume in which the actor indulges have
nothing whatever to do with his treatment of
the character. These things are wholly for
gotten in the presence of the personation it
self. If he played in a blue coat and i)laid
trousers, we should still have a representation
which is independent of and superior to the
material things with which it is surrounded.
As we have asserted upon a previous occa
sion in these columns, Mr. Fechter isw-o. I
ly
an actor. He does not depend in any large
measure upon his elocutionary powers. His
accent is very strong, and upon occa
sions it is disagreeable. Here and thHre
throughout the play be gives an inn
phasis which evolves a now meaning
from the text, and gives pleasant surprise
by its excellence and aptness. Quite as often
his reading is altogether incorrect, and the
nicer shadihg of the language is clouded by an
obscure and meaningless inflection. In many
of • the exciting scenes his utterance is rapid,
tumultuous and vehement.; he poiirs runt' tht l
words in a torrent—with a writhe and a giisp.
as. if ••the 'process gave JAM pain. The ear hi
strained to catch the hurried, disjointe:
ales ; and the listener, unfamilia r with the
text, must wholly fail to comprehend his lan
guage: if NIL Feebler ItepPnitt'd in any great
degree upon his reading, he would tail ilk
gracendly ; but he has nu such ol -peintenc , •.
He leaves to ot her men the trek of ex
their intellectual force upon the text, and of
declaiming it in stately sentemes. it stthli,,s,
to catch the spirit oft he charact er
it. to whole nature; he concentraLs
ell its passion IMO his owe soul, .awl Imtvlws
ittertioSt poetic'incaningi mid' is transfigured'
into perfect similitude of it. His action Upon
the stage is the nicest physical 'interOptation
that can be conceived. If be IUIS stammering
lips and another tongue,he yet tuts,anch bodily
grace that he can ' siettit ' ' to us
clearly in the common language of
hitmanity. We should understand fir. Pechter
if he uttered not a word, but played only in
pe.ntomime. His attitudes are filled with poetry
and beauty ; whether he indulges in soliloquy
or converses with his fellows; whether he
gives expression to ftiOota3 emotion, or to
scornful indignation and contempt, or plays
the madman; his postures are graceful and
elegant, and 'his gestures'are pertinent and
natural. He gives always the highest physical
expression to the highest intellectual concep
tion; and the eye, never offended by a lapse
into awkwardness, comprehends the meaning
with even nicer, accuracy than ithe ear could
understand a cold verbal interpretation.
There is a magnetism—an electrical infin
,ence in Mr. Fechter's acting which places him
in closest sympathy with his audience, and
which, in certain episodes, gives him power
to excite the enthusiasm of the spectators and
to thrill them with emotion. Any man who
has fine sensibility will perceive the wonder
ful power of the actor in this respect, and
will be quick to' acknowledge that such a
quality is not the consequence of severe study
and training, but rather a divine gift, the
want of which cannot be supplied by art. Mr.
Fechter produces all these effects, and is
graceful and elegant, in spite of bodily disad
vantages. He has a clumsy figure, a heavy
German face, and an entire want of physical
fitness for the character of " Hamlet," or for
any of the , romantic personages, lovers and
heroes, in representation of which he has won
his fame. Instead of deriving assistance from
great physical gifts, he is superior to remark
able physical deficiencies. -
Fechter's.gesticulation is incessant. He has
a new movement, a new attitude for every
shade of meaning ; and his mobile face adds to
his power in this respect. Emotions Hash
across it in quick succession ; and although at
times there are grimaces which seem unnatu
ral and in bad taste, it must be admitted that
the play of the countenance generally is su
perb, and altogether truer to nature than the
cold, unsympathetic management of the face
which is the common custom of our foremost
actors. We think, indeed, that power in this
respect is one of the - very first requireMents
of good actor. It is of such importance that
men who have had little other qualification
for the stage have risen to fame by its judi
cious,exorcise. perhaps Mr. Fechter,at times t'
abuses it I but it is certain that those who do
not watch Lm counienauuu
very important part of his personation.
Nearly all of the technical "business"of
Fechter's " Hamlet" is new. Some of
it, in our opinion, is not good. There are
touches of melo-drama, now and then, which
are unworthy so great an artist. Often he
elaborates a point to painfulness, as if be was
afraid the spectator would fail to catch his
meaning with exactness. It is safe to take for
granted the intelligence and quick perception
of an audience such es that which was assem
bled last night, and to indicate, rather thanto
express minutely, the intention of the player.
But much of the business was of a most ex-,
cellent kind, and it not only excited pleasure
by its novelty, but by its evident propriety
and suitability. We will take occasion again
to refer to it in 'detail.
The total of the difference between this re
presentation and that with which we have been
made familiar by other men, is, that this' is
natural, while the other is nearly altogether
artificial. The latter is cold, studied, de
clamatory, and nicely measured in every part ;
this is bold, passionate and free as air. One
is prosy with custom and precedent; the other
is the poetical conception of ono man of.
genius, One is an elegant but severe classical
study; the other is
,instinet with tenderness,
warm with generous feeling,natural with real
suffering and crowned altogether with the
loviiest graces of humanity. There will be
wide differences of opinion upon this subject,
as men are devoted.to 'the .acceptad rules of
art; or ready to learn new lessons from origi
nal genius; but this much we may freely as
sert : that the man who will not admit that
Fechter, despite his faults, is a great actor, is'
either the slave of unreasoning prejudice or
else entirely incompetent to express an opi
nion of his merit.
RAILROAD ENTERPRISE.—We have already
called the attention of our capitalists to a rail
road enterprise which appears to offer peculiar
attractions to those seeking profitable and
permanent investments. We refer to the
Chicago, Danville and Vincennes road. This
road is opening a great reach of hitherto in
accessible country to the Chicago market,
stretching along the eastern boundary of Illi
nois, and the western section of Indiana, as
tar youth as Bvansville, one of the most im
portant shipping points on the Ohio-river.
Fifty-five miles of the road are already in
operation. The bonds of the Company have
forty years to run, and are payable, principal
and interest, in Gold. This new road, among
many other important features, opens,up one
of the most extensive and best coal-fields in
the West. Tlie " Brazil" coal is known as one
of the very best for making iron yet dis
covered, and the facilities for bringing tbi'
co al into Chicago, at a cheap rate, will consti
tute one of the chief sourceii of profit for the
Chicago, Danville and Vincennes road. The
Chicago people appreciate the value of this
new connection, and there can be no doubt
that even before its completion, this railroad
will have developed an amount of local trade
thaf i will place its securities upon a most
enduring and satisfactory basis.

. The Elections.
Coisconn, March B.—We have a splendid
day for the election and the vote will be quite
heavy. The Democrats of this Senatorial
District are voting solidly for. Cram, the
Labor Reform candidate for Senator, and the
chances are In favor of his election, consider-'
lag the fact of his receiving considerable sup
port from the Republicans, particularly those
favorable to the Concord and Rochester
Railroad. French, the Republican candlate,
will lose because he is opposed to the interests
of Concord in this respect.
In the First, Second and Third Wards, the
Democrats are running a straight ticket for
Ward Officers, and in the Fourth, Fifth,Sizth
and Seventh, they have virtually united with
the Labor Reformers, and they will carry the
Seventh Ward.
The candidates for Mayor are :tones, Re
publican, and Farmington, Democrat. The
former is being " scratched "by the bolting
and Labor Reform Republicans.

(By' the Amthcan Preen Agosociation.]
Bowes, March B.—The only observance of
the Centennial anniversary of the Boston
massacre, yesterday, was by the colored citi
zens, one of whom made an address, in which
he' eulogized Crisptis Attucks, the negro, who
lost his die in the King street affair with the
British in 1770. The speaker referred to the
pledge, .now redeemed. that the centennial
anniversary of that sacrifice to freedom would
witness the overthrow of the slave power,
and colored Americans would be acknow
ledged as equals before the law.
Board of Trade !Meeting.
At a meeting of the Board of Trade to-day
a communication was read from the Berlin
Buard of Trade urging the establishment of a
definite weight per barrel for American petro
leum. Prominent dealers in Germany say
that from a leakage per gallon, or some \other
cause, American petroleum weighs leas than
formerly. It is suggested by the German deal
era that the weight.per barrel shall be fixed at
380 pounds.

MONDAY, March 7.—The week opened onh rather dull
and steady stale of affairs In Wall street, the dunned,"
being due 'to the storm and the steadiness to the firm
attitude toe the " bull " cliques. The only excitement
was le the Gold Room, where gold declined to
The earliest operutions were Lased upon favorable
reports concerning the progress of the Funding bill'
in the Senate, which, tieing accompanied .by the
able immune; ment of Po for five-teteutiee in Lou
den, led to a " break " to 112, amid conaiderable ex•
cite meet. Next It woe discovered, from the demand
fur cash gold, that the " abort" interest had been
heavily increased, acid some of the shorts " pre-
Ci pita ted an advance to 113 by endeavoring
to cover. Thls flurry over the price again fell back to
112 in, closing finally at 112%011236. The prevailing
Wee paid for carrying gold were two to four percent„
but exceptions occurred at one and five per cent. The
closing decline was due tea further announcement from
Washington that the Senate had decided to hold night
ressiens continuously in order to hasten action upon the
lending bill.
The Government market again declined with the gold
market, avid the 67a touched 1094. Prices are, however.,
becoinhig lees sensitive to the movements in gold as the'
premium approaches obliteration, for the reason that
with gold at par Government sixes would, in all proba
bility . rule at pekes several percent. over par.
Tie money market was easy at four to five per cent. as
the prevailing rates on call leans, with pledges reined , .

lower rates than prevailed last week.

TUE PRICE OF TUE PRECIOUS METAL STILL DECLINING—
./ FALL TO 11216-711 E LOWEST POINT YET.
Gold kept on its downward course yesterday, though
the price did not fall so rapidly as nom° expected on
Sate' day. Operetors peen, to have abandoned all at
tempts to force up the premium, and appear to be in•
Mood to let it tike its course without assisting or
retarding its decline. Yesterday the lexchange was
occupied by emelt operators for the most' part, who

was undergoing an investigation by the Com

the court, was called up by Mr. Connell and
finally passed.
The House bill to incorporate the West
Chester and Phoenixville Railroad Company,
in Chester county, called up by Mr. Brooke
and passed finally.
Hoot r.—An act to prohibit the erection of
public buildings on Independence Square was
discussed.
. Mr. Davis said that the newspapers were
.di
vided in opinion. Those who owned prop
erty in the neighborhood of the Square,which
would be increased in value if the new pub
lic buildings were erected upon it, were all
iu favor of the desecration. Among these pa
pers was the Aidger, which had half a mil
lion invested in real estate. It was simply
bunian nature for parties to regulate their
views to their interests.
The other pipers located from Third to Se
venth streets, were niore unbiased, and held
that it was not right thus to trample on some
of the best and, most sacred feelings of the
State. The original contract between the city
and the State bad been that the Square should
be kept as a public green forever. It was true
that some subsequent legislation had au
thorized some small buildings upon the
ground, but that legislation could easily be
annulled by the present act.
Mr. Davis spoke at solve length of the
sacred character of the square in the eyes o/
our countrymen. It was certainly, in their
view, the garden spot of liberty, and
hallowed by associations which had a mean
ing. The man who would pile bricks and
mortar upon this Spot would almost build
upon the grave of his father.
Mr. Davis asserted, in the course of his ro•
marks, that this. Square had been one of the
first spots visited by him on his lirsV trip to
the city.
Mr. Smith, of Dauphin, made a tqwech
particularly in reference to the sanctity of
the ground, and he, too, declared that it was
One of the first spots to which his stops had
tended on his first visit to the city.
Mr. Josephs said, jocularly, that from his as
sociation with the gentlemen who hiui just
spoken, he would have supposed other places
in the city . wonld have been more attractive to
them.
Mr. Davis replied—At the time of which he
spoke, he bad not been acquainted with Mr.
Josephs, but had visited the grounds. with
country simplicity and honesty of heart.
Mr. Elliot Was grieved 0 find the American
eagle had been loosened and would take such
•an extended oratorical flight. - He said that
the city had legitimate claims on' the Square.
At one time it had purchased a portion of
ground, frouVe private association, for about
fifty thousand dollars, and had erected a court
houseovhich had cost over a hundred thou
sand dollars. It there was any sanctity abo.it
the..llall, there was certainly none about the

Mr. Schenck, from the Committee on Ways
.'and 3! .%:"111E. acct to the Clerk's desk a commu
nication from Edward Lansing, Commander
of the Grand Army of the Republic, balling
attention to the fact that the General Govern
ment requires all who make a living by play
ing band organs to pay ten dollars license;
that maimed soldiers may be seen on the
streets wearing license certificates on their
breasts. The communication further reminds
Congressmen that the National Encampment
of the G. A. R. in July last had passed a. re
solution
aslei lig.that all maimed organ-grinding
soldiers, anii,sailors be' exempted from the
said tax,
Mr. Schenck said the communication was a . .
lithographed circular, and bad been largely
disnibuted. He did not .know who Lansing
was, but, whoever he was, he was mistaken.
No such tax has ever been imposed. If any
Lad been-collected it was either a fraud or a
forgery, and was intended to throw discredit
on. the Government and the Republican
party.
Mr. Voorhees rose to a personal explana
tion. He called attention to a Washington
despatch in yesterday's New York Evening
Post, stating that the case of D. W. Voorhees,
Who had disposed of a military cadetship to a
lad in Pennsylvania, had been befOre the
Home Military Committee. This was the
first be knew of such action. He took notice
of it thus promptly, for if you give a lie
twenty-four hours start, you can never catch
it. He never appointed a cadet to the Mili
tary Academy. He bad appointed a lad to the
Naval Academy. That lad was a son of
W. Maxwell Wood, of the Nary, who, with •
his relatives, had long been resident at In
dianapolis. He will graduate with distin
guished honor next June,. The House has ex
pelled a member for the abuse of this Kiln
kge. If these reckless and soundless attacks
upon private character are to continue, we
would next be compelled to expel journalistic;
slanderers from the reporters' gallery. ,
Mr. Logan, as Chairman of the Committee
on Military Affairs, said that no charges what
er Lad been made nor any testimony taken
by that committee against Mr. Voorhees. '
.Mr: Rodger§ called attention tip the rules in
regard to the violation of the privileges of this
floor. Every hour be was approached and
annoyed in his Feat by men on railroad jobs.
He demanded that they be kept out, and the
rules enforced.lA voice—That's right.'
The Georgia bill was then resumed. The
demand for the previous question being
secondi (I, short speeches were delivered in
opposition to . the bill by Messrs. Wood; Cox
and Wood Ward. The latter read a long com
munication froM a prominent citizen of:
Georgia, relative to the maladministration of
affairs there under the Bullock regime, and de
claring that taxes were sixteen times higher
than before the war. , •
Mr. Cox, in .the course of his speech, re
yiarked facetiously ha advocated carpet-bag. ,
tug rights—the right of man to I ree locomotion
and removal, provich d he did not attempt to
further his political fortunes by fraud anti dis
honesty.
Mr. Butler then delivered the closing speech
in favor of the bill, occupying the attention of
the House for over au hour. He gave pre
liminary notice that he would not submit to
interruption during his remarks.
Mr. Farnsworth, interrupting, said it was
well be (Butler) declined to be interrupted, as.
his statement couldn't stand interruption.
Messrs. Bingham and Woodward a!so. ae
cused Mr. Butler of misstatements. He
parried the charges in a bantering way which
elicited laughter.
The vote was first taken on Mr.. Bingham's
amendment, providing that this bill shall not
be construed as extending the tenure of office
of the Governor and members of the Legisla
ture beyond the time for Which they were
elected, and that the election for those officers
shall be held in November next, as already
provided by law. Adopted-114 to 72.
Mr. Cox demanded the ayes and noes on
the passage of the bill as amended, as it would
be a test vote.
The bill then passed. Ayes, 125, nays, 55.
Mr. Butler announced that he bad voted
for the bill as amended, because he
desired the passage of the Fifteenth
Amendment, and would not throw aught
in the way of that great measure merely to
gratify personal dissatisfaction. Another
reason was that he didn't wish to be found
voting with Democrats.
