WAsHNeTON, Feb. IL.
The Senate chamber was intensely crowded
this morningto hear the debate upon the ques-
lion Of privilege, and the speech Of Mr.. Cor
win, Of Ohio, on the three million bill.
The first business Of the morning 81 public
interest was the question Of privilege, raised
yesterday BY Mr.. Yulee on the resolution pro-
posing the expulsion Of the editors Of the
Union, and, il a second resolution, the repor-
fers o. the linton.
The principal reporter, Mr.. Houston, was
heard in a communication in which he said
that the editors were not responsible for the
reports, because they were not seen. There
were reasons why the report complained Of TO
be partial, was so, and these were mainly that
while no report was made Of the debate, Mr..
Cass had sent along speech to the Office as his,
and which was incorporated as his own. He
appeared as making q speech in answer to seve-
raj Senators who had no mention in the report.

The Vice President vindicated the decision
made BY him yesterday, declaring that the re-
solutions must lie over for one day, and that

question Of privilege" Mr.. Dallas chose to
interpret the rule literally, andt 10 make no dis.
%tinction between questions Of privilege and
matters Of business.

one Of privilege, and after a brief debate
