Tlip Nntlon Cannot bo Cnjolcd Into JtcltcvliiR In the Ilonewty of the Fictitious AVcnlth or Gould and Vandcrblll. The Senate's WAsm.smo.v , April 20. C. Whltlborno , appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Si'iiator Jackson of Tonnes- hcr , presented his cicdcntlals nnd was sworn In today. Mr. Hoar icported fiom the committee on jml'cl.try ' the bill extending tlio time for the completion of this rocoids oftlm elcik of tlie commissioner : } of Alabama claims. It was passed.

After debate the senate amendment was agiecd to , and tlio bill , as amended , was passed. Mr. Van Wjckdeslicd to take up the bill taxing lalhoad Inndfl , but jlelded to Mr. Blair , who , according to piovious notice , then nddiossut the senate on bis proposed constitutional amendment prohibiting the inannfactiito or bale of alcoholic liquors ns beverages. lie announced his well known v lew s upon tlio suhj ° t t at considerable length , nnd then entered upon the political aspect of the mcasttie , and said the movement-foi local option nnd niiicndiiicntstoslaloconstltullons f\ \\asolneat Impoilai.co ns a menus of cre ating nn enlightened public opinion In the btatcs ; but nothing short of n movement ki'od on a national Idea piesented a clear ptospect of complete succvss. It was time for tlie piohiblllou Idea to nssimio contiol of na tional p.utlc3-at least of tlio republican paitv. Tholnlci-shlo comnictco bill vvas then taken ii ] > nnd Mi.

But the ei Isib w ab coming. There was nn ir- repiesblbleconlllLt between tight and wrong. Could tlio nation bo made to believe Hint the SI,000,000,000 of wnteird stock nnd bonds were honest piopcity deceiving pip- lection liom coutts or legislatures , or tliat tlio S.'iOO.OOO.OOO claimed by Vandeibllt and 8200,001,000 claimed by Gould were hon estly obtained ? The owners of these ficti tious values should accord decent tieatincnt to the remainder of mankind tiom whom they expected to foico dividends and intei- Cbt. If Industries weio only ieoulied , to pay fait dividends on the ical cost ot railroads the nation would bo prosperous. The senate committee could take an cx- nmplo liom Jny Gould. The senate commit tee on education and laboi had Indiibtiloiibly obtained fiom tliat worthy a complete hKtoiy ot his lite , piobably for tlie jonthot Ameiica to imitate.

As ho was con templating another raid he felt the necessity of another Installment of divine grace , so lie went bhorl on tlio pinmise by pictcnding that ho would not benefit himself by tlio blessing. It wns to be Imped ho would not Indulge In n thlid prayer on e.uth.
