Mr. Call introduced a resolution to open negotiations with Spain towards i securing the repeal of the tax on cattle imported into Cuba from thu United States. Mr. Call delivered a apt speech in support of his resolution that the arrears of pensions act bo repealed. The Utah polygamy bill waa taken ap at the conclusion of Mr. Call's address - dress Several important amend ments and additional section provid ing that any man cohabiting with more than one woman ahull bo fined to the extent of $300 and up to six months imprisonment , or both , at the discretion of the court , for each offence , were agreed to. Discussion y ensued on sectioit 5 , authorizing the president to grant amnesty to offen ders prior to the passage of the act on conditions and under such limitations as he shall deem proper. Mr. Hoar contended that congress 'had no power to confer such power. Mr. Edmunds said it was an in- 'tricate subject , hut the section waa drawn apeciticaUy and technically from English jurisprudence. Mr. Edmunds said the power for the presi dent to.grant conditional pardon had passed beyond the range of ordinary discussion. Mr. Bayard said no action of con gress could enlarge or diminish the , pardoiiinx power of the president , and the section was evidently a sug gestion that there waa no disposition to prosecute or persecute for anything that happened in the past. After remarks by Messrs , Hoar and Garland the section was agreed to. A long debate arose on the last soc- Hion , which declares all registration of election for officers of the territory vacant , and confers the power ou a commission of five to canvass the vote t the election and issue certificates -of election to eligible persona. . Mr. Call urged the power conferred -on thin commission was uhconstitu- - tional , dangerous and in defiance of popular will. Mr. EJniunda said the territories of the United States were under the legislative power of the government. 'The section was framed so as to put the political power of Utah into the hands of persons obedient to the law. and not into the hands of heir- archy and polygamiata who did not recognize the law ; in other words to xeorganiza the territory. Mr. Bayard pointed out that a sys tem of so-called theocracy had dis placed republican principlea iu Utah , and it was ceccssary for the main tenance of these principles that the system should be displaced. That could bo done by annihilating all statutory and other government of the territory. Measures are needed for the proper and wise government of Utah. The whole country fully concurred in abhorrence of the exist ing state of affairs in Utah , and the enate should bo careful lest it strike at the safeguards of personal liberty , .personal rights and republican insti tutions. This suction provides for an anomaly of jurisprudence , of an established principle which in his judment struck down the fundamental principle of American liberty. If there was one clause ol the constitution dear to the national heart , it waa that which declared no one should be deprived of life , liberty or right , without conviction by a com petent tribunal. The section taking away the right of citizens to vote , WQH -arbitrary , despotic and unconstitu tional. Mr , Gariand said the provisions oi the section wore intended to bo rough as desperate cases needed desperate remedies. He held that the pro visions were as well sanctioned by the organic law and precedent as any measure over passed by congrasa. Mr. Bayard said the government ot Utah was a malevolent union of churcl and state , a theocratic government higher in the estimation of its citi- . * en than the constitution of the United States and compelling an obe- d'enco hostile to the spirit of liburty and law. It was clearly within the 'province of the government to onac such laws as would terminate a doc trine BO fatal to a republican govern ment and the principles of civil ant religious liberty that the government was deaig'ied to protect. Ho donioc that the section took from a man a 'right not conferred by the law aw which ho waa not capable of losing by the repeal of the law. At 5 p. m. Mr. Harris moved executive utivo session. Mr. Edmunds oppoaed on th ground-that it was time that the senate ate should settle down to importan business. The motion was lost 21 to 29. Mr. Jonoa ( Fla. ) addressed the BOH ate on the constitutional question -involved. At 5:20 : a motion waa made to ad journ.

AIL these dreadful eoks of the president's auflfuritig I rayed that the Father above us all rould spare his lifo. Day and niuht ny beseeching cry went up , "God lave the president. " I thought ho ould not die when the people of the irholo world called unto Him to in- erpoao in his boha'f. ' I said , "Surely , Ho will show forth Hts glory.1 But , , lasl the tondereat care of wife , fm- ly and friends , the prayers of the ieoplo , could not move the Ruler of he universe to countermand the do- roes of His allwise and mysterious rovidence , could not koup in his poor , lespoiled body Ins grandly beautiful ioul. Despite the vigils , the tears mid the prayern ot hi8fj\r Vqf , tha na tion , of the world , the midnight bells wore tolled , the midnight cry was hoard , "the president is dead. " We gazed upon the lifeless clay gone to dwell with the glorified saints of the Lord , and wo , our tears flowed , and wo said , "Is there no God ? " Truly , ' t was a grievous wrong. The Lord nd Ho nlono can judpe where liea the moral responsibility. Thin people are "a His hands. They walk on holy , round.

At hat time it was reported the presi dent was interested in anything re garding the terrible aUUirthat ; ho even > aid one day , ' 'I wonder what that ) oor follow would think if ho know -hat 1 had forgiven him.

" I never sent the letter. L'he report came almost immediately , hat the president was worse , and 1 new you would not wish to be trou- iled with any thing from Guitoau'sais- or. I had hoped by waiting to cotno > cforo you with a bettor showing , /indicated , so far as insanity ia an jxcuso for ciime , but my heart burns within me , and notwithstanding that unjust verdict and barbarous sen tence , I must speak. My poor brother , shut away from thu world for months in a tomb-like cell , not n raj of sunshine , not a blade of grass , no a flower , not a bird , not a friend to peak a kind word who is there to peak in his behalf if not lib heart broken sister ? Did I not apeak , tin very stones would cry out ; his satntec mother , the purest and noblest of wo man , that mother who gave her life for his ; who suffered torture for sovoi long yours because of his biith , unti death made her free ; that lather tender and kind , but mistaken in hi direction of the boy : would , if possi ble , nmku their voices heard froi beyond the. grave. Even I verily believe liovo would the Glorified Garliold cr out in horror at that verdict : "Wha of that verdict , was it according t truth , justice and morey ? Verily no. " 1 had hoped to be able to cas myself at the feet of Judge Cox , t < bo able , so long an I had breath , t < look up to him an the grand , the , nu ble , the just judge , who * ould stain as firm as the everlasting rocks for th weak and defenseless against the who ! world.

When 10 came to the recitation of thotm few incs of the story , "John Itrown'a mdy lies a mouldering in the qruvo , but his .soul is marching "along. " com mencing in the low , sad melody of lie song , breaking up and ending in lie wierJ , hyBtorio.il laugh , the awful .uigh of the insane , one could feel the ilonco. I thought surely it is enough ; no power on earth can prevail upon hose men to say that poor lunatic without revenge , without motive , ox- ppt to obey what ho doomed the will f God , committed a wilful murder , tut they did. They must have reason- d as some do that it is a oood thing o hang a crazy mnii as an example to ither crazy men. I know that my uotlior haa boon in some essential natters of judgment defective since lia birth. I know that ho is an exag gerated counterpart of his father , who was in some things insane ; that them a a o'rain of horiditary taint of insani ty iu the family and tliut he ia now ot { himself. This sudden auperna- urnl development of intellect in some iroutioiiR ia of itself a symptom of in anity. Knowing him , understanding tim i.s I claim better than ny 01 o else , 1 assort nd can prove that my brother haa Iwaya intended to do right and live lonestly.
