WAsm.smo.v , April 20. C. Whltlborno ,
appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Si'iiator Jackson of Tonnes-

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.
Mr. Morrell , ftom thccommltteoon Itnance ,
icnoitcd , with amendment , the house Dill ie-
latlng to tiio bonds of blowers. The senate
committee amended the hill so ns toiequlte
Hint at least once In four jcars the bonds
shall. . In any event , bo renewed , whether tlm
collector ieiiobts ( | llor not. 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. Van Wjck addressed the
huniitc on il. We weie , he said , In tlio midst
of depression , jet all piiisnlts must be laid

pork mlghl bo leduced one-half in pi Ice , yd
there could be no abatement on freight
thaiges. Billioad and telegraph rates west
of llio Mlssomi ilvet weie about four times
tricatcr than the tales enst of that ther. For
jeais capital had been oiganUed , uuscinpu-
loiiSand rapacious , moving ns Gould bid ;
moved , aocoidlng to his sworn testlnionj' ,
and as Ituntlnglon chaigcd in Ids own wilt-
ten hlstoiy it had moved , on state legls-
Inttnes , tlio court" , nnd congiess , nnblnsh-
Ingly pnich.iMntr judges and legislatures.
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. The committee had tiemblliigly
and bcbcechlnglyiniploicd him to give n mi
nute account ot his dniing exploitsnnd lie
consented , F.aily in life , when haul messed
foi dlnnei , lie ndontcd his hlsttu's method
and went behind tno blacksmith shop to praj' .
In n lew jeais the laiiuin , . ' business In whicli
ho was encn ed was Inn financial stress bo
ovciwhclmiiiKh that liib i > aitnei wns diiven
tosulehie , w idle he himself boughta nillio id.
The vviomr p.utnei had committed suit-ido.
The committee was doubtless dn/ed as mueh
hv ( Jonld's leeilal ns by tlio exciting exploits
of .lack the Giant Killei , 01 KIdd tlie Pirate.
Mode.sty Induced Gould to ichain liom
telling one teatuie of the hibtoiy ot Ills time.
At Kniibns City lie was once qveitaken vvitli
another-lollgioiis sprim nndiestled n
second time in pinjcr , tclllnt ; the people how
happy ho was and that ho wanted no more
money , life had puiehai-.ed the -Missouri
Pacihe only foi the good of mankind , nnd
should use It only tor the glory of God nnd
thobenelitof tlm people. 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. Should he , in the end , becme nn
entrance into tlio New Jciusnlein , lie would
bo lonspiilng Ibeie , fiom n foice of habit , to
buy a tallioad , and when ho should have torn
up the fihlnlngH\enne- angels could not
lestraln him Irom stealing thu golden pave
ments. [ Laughter. ]
The strong arm ol labor. Mr. Van Wjck
added , had alvvnjs piotected the nation in
the day ot peril. Tlicio need In1 no le.u to
the icpublle from the oignnl/ntlon of labor.
Theianlcbof the union army had been re-
einlted liom the men who hnd been delving
