WASHINGTON, January 70, 1870.
Another immense audience was present
in tic Senate this afternoon in cxpcc tation
OF final vote on the Virginia bill. The
proceedings, until shortly betore adjourn
mcnt, were devoid Of special interest, and
the debate up to that period was fat and
improbable, saving the sparring between
Senator'S Sumner and Stewart, occasioned
- The formers emphatic dcnunciation of
the election in Virginia as huge, colossal
fraud, and his insinuation that Senator
Stewart is interested with :hc late " slave
drivers" as Mr. Sumner dubbed the Nir-
ginians.
Senator Stewart repealed the insinuation,
and scundly belabored the senator from
liaSsach0.etts for reading in the Senate
anonymous letters slandcring the character
Of the people and private citizens of Vir-
ginia.
This was the only parliamentary brush
OF the day; and though the senatorial
GladiatcrS punished each other severely,
they were the only excited persons in the
Senate chamber.
The great interest Of the day eliminated
in the vote upon the Edmunds-W Wiley
amendment. Senators had grown weary
of the interminable debate and tie triple
and quadruplc arguments upon the same
points by some Of their number, and rather
than prolong this improbable discussion
those who had heretofore insisted upon the
House bin Or the unconditional admission
OF Virginia were now willing to vote for
the amendment; which, after all, docs not
prolong the admission of senators and re-
personalities, but only requires that mem
bcrs of the Legislature shall take an oath,
set forth III the amendment; therefore,
When the names were called upon the Ed
Wiley amendment it was found
that torty-Gvc senators voted for the amend
ment and only sixteen against it. OF the
forty-fye, about twenty were of the original
supporters of the House bill, who, as be-
fore stated, voted for the amendment in
order to put an end to the controversy and
come to final vote upon the passage Of
the bill.
1t is expected that Mr.. Drake, Mr.. Nor
ton, and Mr.. Sumner, will severally offer
additional amendments tomorrow, but
there is no probability of their adoption,
the sentiment of the Senate being, as it ap-
pears tonight, overwhelmingly in favor OF
passing the bill as it now stands amended,
and sending it to the House for concur
renee.
The impression is general that the House
will concur, but, nevertheless, those mem
bers who seek delay in the admission Of
Virginia are delighted With the prospect OF

His own fortune added to that of his wife

times IN Europe, and for many years re-
ceiSeo from him large allowance. lie js

once visited the French Court, ACCOMPANIED
ny ono OF his sons, upon on invitation from
me emperor. During the reign of Louis
th'!ppc he was permitted to remain in
Pans Tor short time, but was required to
assume his mothers name Of Patterson.
Mr.. Bonaparte is said to bear q gtronc
personal resemblance to his uncle. the first
Napoleon. If the validity Of his fathers
marriage with Miss Patterson were recop-
nizod BY the Court Of France it would give
him and his children precedence over his
han-l-o.hcrs and their sister, the Princess
Nathillc. the children of Jerome by his
second wife. Efforts to secure such rccoc-
milton have been made on perhaps more
than ono occasion, but they failed, though
how far they fell short Of success has never
| been known to the public. Jerome HIM
self. who died at venerable old age, year

NAPOLEON, who was born in Baltimore in
1882, and Charles Joseph, born in 1852.

the age of twenty, and after remaining a
short time in the Uutcd States army re-
signed his commission and entered that Of
| France as q suh-icrtenant. lie was with
the French and English allies in the Cri-
inca, and received a decoration from the
Sultan OF Turkey for bis gallant conduct at

Corps Lcgiela;if. 1t may afford some of
them an opportunity, and Patterson may
vet occupy the Tuiicrics rs Prince Prcsi-
| dent Just as Louis, Bcauharnais, occupied
the palace in 1919. At all events the story
is worth rcteliing as more or less arrop0s of
transiiring events in France, in which the
Bonapartcs, their past present, and future,
bear such close relation. Jerome Bonapartc
acted badly enough TO Miss Patterson. Nor
has his family done much better. It would
he a piece of poetic justice if Time should
| balance the account,
