Democrats push for quick adjournment, but opposition grows. Hampton defends Kellogg in the Senate amid Kellogg Butler seating disputes. Alleged bribery letters surface in a Pacific Railroad probe, with no action yet. Whittaker case and punitive rhetoric on Democratic Punic faith follow, ending with a strong denunciation and the motto Delenda est Carthago.
