It was rather a singular charge on the part of the Senator from South Carolina that we were actuated by political motives over here in not opposing the bill. The Senator from Mississippi . seeing such an unusual proceeding as a bill coming in here in hot hastea bill that might impair a treaty. might displace it. as I said yesterdaythat Senator. with a good deal of hesitation. seemed disposed to object. but I noticed that the Senator from Missouri rose and said. "Why. the Senator from Mississippi does not object." and the Senator from Mississippi immediately sat down and" said he did not object. He caught the twinkle of the eye of the Senator from Missouri and saw that there was politics in the bill. and he sat down. and then in order that he might recover from the blunder that he came so near making he got up and charged on us that we have been in favor of Chinese immigration. Mr. President.
