WASHINGTON, May 2, 1868
SENATE..
Mr; STANBERY resumed the . floor, in
troducing the continuation of his remarks
by tinutict Ing the Senate for the courtesy
shown hint in an early adjournment yester
i day, and saying he had been greatly bene
fitted by the. ,consequent rest. Then, after
expressing in advance bis confidence of a
speedy acquittal, based on 'a thorough ex
t amination of-the case, which showed that.
I not a shadow of a ease had been made out,
i he proceeded with his argument as printed.
1 At it quifier before one Mr2Stanbery be
came fatigued, and 3fr: l'll. F. Pedrick. who
has assisted the counsel during the trial,
I continued the reading of the tegument.
IMr. Stanbery himself delivered his pero
ration, concluding at 3:10 o'clock P. ?t.,.
when the . Court adjourned.
I The Senate took up the House amend
ments to the Naval Appropriation bill,
which it non-concurred in and appointed a
Committee of Conference.
Adjourned. - - • -
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Mr. PAINE introduced a resolution,
which was adopted, milling on Gen. Grant
to furnish the number of votes recently cast
in Arkansas on the adoption of the Consti
tution, •
The members then proceeded to the Sen
ate.
On returning from the Senate, Mr. DON
NELLY, of Minnesota, obtained leave to
make a personal eTplanation. He then
made a statement in relation to his present
ing
a bill some time since to aid a railroad
in his. State, to the construction of which
Mr. Washburne objected. Subiequently
Mr. Washburn wrote a letter to the con
stituents of. Mr. Donnelly, 'linking certain
Charses'regarding Mr. Donnelly's preVious
political record and action in this Congress.
Mr. Donnelly, after causing the let
ter to be read, said it contained
tweilry-three falsehoods, and continued in
' vindication ; of himself,. :•ebarecterizing
, Mr.'Washburne'e conduct in charging him
; with being.an office hewer, - as consistent
and coming with bad grace from a gentle-.
man of his family name. The names of the
.:Washburnes are chronic as office . beggars,'
and are as miserable and uncomfortable
out of ,office as S. stump tailed bull in fly'
time. Every man born into the Virashburne
I family is born with "M. C." franked on his
broadest part. .
After Anther comments,- Mr. Donnelly
said he had analyzed the stomach of the
gentleman from Illinois, and if it was pos
sible for him by hiaperistaltie action to'
bring up . anything more loathsome and
disgusting than he has vomited over me in
that letter,in God's name let it come.
The SPEA.KER called Mr. Donnelly to
order twice.
• Mr. Donnelly occupied his hour in a sim
ilar strain, and was allowed to proceed by
consent of the House, Mr. Washburne aid
ing in urging that. he have perriaission
proceed. He continued in a strain of vin
dictive retort to disprove the charges made 1
in the letter, his remarks being received
with great good humor by the members. -- He t•
concluded saying that Mr:Washburne
had loweredthe thonor, of Congress. If, '
said he, there be in our midst one low, sor
did, ytilgar soul, one barren of mediocre
intelligence, one heart _,callous- to every
kindly sentiment-and to every generous
emotionitinetbrigue leprous with slander,

METHODISM,
General Conference of pie Methodist Epis
"copal Chdrch 'at - Chicago.
[By Telegraph to the Pittsburgh gazette.)
(.3nicAoo, May 2.—The Conference as
,
sembied •at nine - o'clock this Morning,
Bishop-Simpson,m. She Chair, and was
opened with- singing; and prayer by Rev.
T. M. Hudson, of Pittsburgh. The journal
of yesterday'ssession was read. The Com
mittee on gpiscopacy, announced their or
ganization' by . the election of Rev.. Dr.
Trilhble, Chairman, and Rev.' J. W. Lind
sey, Secretary. The Committee on Itin
eracy also reported the.election of • Rev. Dr.
J. T. Peck, Chairman, Rev. Dr. Nesbit,
Secretary, and Rev. J. Creel, Engrossing
Clerk.
Rev. Dr. Eddy asked a reconsideration of
the vote of yesterday, by which the coloid-•
zation cause was referred to the Committee
on Freedmen, and the appointment of a
special committee.
• This resolution elicited considerable dis
cussion, in which Drs. Wise, Hunter,
Crann and others participated, and which
developed a decided opposition to the Colo
nization• Society's objects and methods.
The motion was tabled.
The Conference took up the regular order
of business, being the pregentation of me
morials, petitions and appeals. The Secre
tary called the roll of the Conferences and
various petitions were presented, mostly in
favor of lay delegation, the delegations of
Annual ConfereneeS; and.the Presiding El
dershins.
Rev. Br. Eddy moved that the Secretary
be ordered to insert the Washington and
Delaware Conferences in the list of Confer
ences. As these two. Conferences are com
posed wholly of colored Ministers and peo
ple, the motion produced seine sensation.
The Secretary, Rev. Harrison, explained
the omission, stating that these two Con
fereaCeS were considered Mission Confer
ences, and as such were not entitled to rep
resentation by delegates.
Rev. J. T. Bock, D. D., of Troy, New
York. suggested that the names of these
two Conferences be entered on the roll,
without determining their status for the
present.
.-Dr. W.H.' Ferrl4. of New York, moved
the reference of the motion of Dr. Eddy to
the Committee on the Credentials of the
Representatives of the Mission Confer
ences.
Dr. Eddy resisted this disposition of his
-motion in an earnest speech, claiming that
the General Conference was fully compe
tent to admit these mission conferences to
all the privileges of the church, and to do
this at once.
Rev. Dr. Pershing, of Pittsburgh, thought
it impossible legally to admit these bodies
at present, tin:high:he favored their coming
in as soon alit could be done, in accordance
with the discipline.
Rev:Dr.-Foster rose to a point of order.
He stated his point to be that on his motion
yesterday the whole subject of the relation
of Mission Conferences was referred to the
Special Committee, and that, therefore,
this whole discussion was out of order.
The point was overruled by the Chair.

Democracy and Labor.
From the late, report of the DeOrtment
of Agriculture it appears that wac b Tain Del
aware are $24 93 per month,' fort m year,
without board; $l3 25, per moat , with
board; for the season, $2O 25 per month,
without board, and $l5 25 for the' same
with board. These rates are considerably
lower than those of Pennsylvania and other
States, but about equal to or aboviithose of
Maryland. This is the practical result, of
Democracy, as it effects the woritingman.
Low wages and poor work are the ihvariable
accompaniments of. a Democratic Majority.
In Massachusetts, the rates of Wages are
, higher than in any other State of t(ie Union;
while in Kentucky, Delaware and Maryland,
the strongholds of the Democracy,l tkey are
the lowest. Let the working menof Penn
sylvania bear this in mind, and let. the ora
tors and press of the pro-slavdry party
answer or explain the fact if thir can.—

"Perhaps the grandest head in the Senate

It is round and lofty, like ;he d me of the

He lost one eye in a duel many ears ago,
and this gives a peculiarity quite marked to
his appearance. His mouth ea resses, in
singular combination, firmnesst and impa
tience. Once, when the fourteenth consti
tutional amendment was under ; considera

caused Lim to_forget that he was 4 politician, •

influence in the Senate she can 11 afford to

perhaps there are few States so without sin
