TIE Democrats in the Senate held q caucus this
morning, and resolved to protrart the sitting to-
night, with the view of coercng the Opposition to
fix day for taking the vote
Mr.. Wade concluded one of tae most effective,
cogent and original speeches yet heard on the whole
subject, and laid open the Kansas question. This
is conceded By the consent of all parties.
He was followed by Mr.. Mason, in his usual dog
matical style His speech was' principally leveled
at Mr.. Seward. who has drawn iOrth the are of all
the Administration leaders.
Mr.. Clark then took the floor, when an informa
conference occurred with reference to the duration
Of the daily sessions and a proposition was sug-
rested by Gen. Houston to meet ~ il O'Clock and
sit six hours.
Mr. Clark proceeded, and at o'clock Mr.. Sim
mons, who has been under medical advice for
week past moved an adjournment Though the
attendance was thin at the tims, the Democracy
were mustered from the ante.rOoms before the
close of the division, and the question was defeated
by vote Of % to Is, several Republicans being
absent, not expecting this trap.

ciOusly Inserted in some speech. Mr.. Foote of
Mississippi, furnished precedent several years ago
for this course, when be spoke aud read all night.
Mr.. Syage's bill, in the House, proposing to
pension the soldiers Of 1912 ThO have already re
ceived land will saddle the Treasury with ten or If
teen millions annually, according to estimates at
the proper Office.
