.Sneaking Of the debate in the Z. S. Senate

Speaking Of the debate in the Z. S. Senate,
Yesterday, on the presentation OF the creden-
ttials from Arkansas, the Washington cores
pond ent-ota the Baltimore Sun says:
'sThere was very animated question of the
debate in the Senate to day.. involving the
status of States which went into rebellion,
and from which, afterwards, Senator'S and
Representatives may seek admission into Con
gress. There is evidently q wide division among
leading republicans on the subject, and the
retorts to day were sharp as between even
radicals who happen to have got on opposite
sides on this question Mr.. Lane, Of Kansas
is the special champion Of the returning
States, Or those, rather, from which Senator'S
and Representatives have been returned, as
he claims, by the loyal people and twas Oh
his pr esentation Of the credentials OF Mr..
Snow as Senator from Arkansas that the hot
debate OF to day sprang up. NO result IS as
vet reached on the subject OF the credentials,
or tn, giving OF pay and mileage to the
Louisiana and Arkansas senatorial claimants,
as proposed by resolution Of Mr.. Lane, who,
have been here during the winter.
