Show DRAWING TO A CLOSE. The gratifying intelligence is flashed over the wires that the obstruction farce now being played in the United States Senate by the Republican majority, is likely to be brought to final vote either at the close of this or the early part of next week, when the gentlemen who have so persistently sought to obtain and attempted to coerce the President into laying before them all the papers in the now-renowned Duskin case, will doubt less have the leisure to indulge in a retrospect and reach a full realization of the fact that they have been making a ridiculous exhibition of themselves altogether alto-gether unworthy of Senators of the United States. Debate on the Edmunds resolutions in this case has dragged its weary length through several weeks, and the public business which ought to have had the attention of the Senate, has been shame-fully-neglected. But the end is evidently near at hand, and from all that can be learned from dispatches and exchanges, the Republican Senators are very sick of the undertaking upon which they entered, and will be only too glad to drop the matter at the earliest possible moment. Yesterday Messrs. Voorhees of Indiana and Evarts of New York took turns in speaking to the resolutions, and a few more oratorical whacks will wind up the business, to the great relief of everybody. |
