Special telegram to the Dispatch.

WASHINGTON, February 21.-The debate
in the Senate was continued to-day, Morton
concluding his remarks of yesterday. Scv-
cral exciting coloquies with Schurz were
interspersed in his speech, in all of which
the latter bore off the palm of victory.
Conkling also attempted to spar with the
Missouri Senator. but retired from the con-
test without single triumph. The former
intimatcu that SchurZ, in his speech of
yesterday, struttcd before the Senate and
boastcd of his personal proves, referring to
Schurz's assertion that in the path of duty
he had met men more dangerous than Conk-
ling, and would not finch before thousands
of them. To this Schurz said if he strutted
he begged pardon for infringing upon Conk-
ling's privilege, and as for boasting, he had
only said that he would never quail before q
thousand men like Conkling, and this was
surely no demonstration Of courage. The
war wakes more earnest and bitter every
hour.
A delegation of colorcd men from Bati-
more made complaint to the Attorney-Gene-
raj to-day that their race had never been
summoned to serve upon juries Of the United
States Court in that district, and asking that
he give the matter his official attention.

An Illustrati ton.

The low standard of political morality
which obtains among prominent supports
ers of the Administration is illustrated
by tho case of Colonel Mcclure; who was
recently elected to the Pennsy lvania
SeHate as an Inde pendent Republican.
During the Canvass President Grant,
with characteristic cficiousness, took an
active part in favor Of Gray, the opposing
candidate, Who wa finally counted Ia
by fraud. Colonel Mcclure, however, is
a man who could not be overawedin his
own State by the terrors of White House
d-spleasnre, and obstinately insisted on
having the seat to which he had been
rigbtfuIly elected An investigation,
says the New York SIM, revealed the.
most seandalOus frauds committed by
she adherents of Grants candidate, aud
the Senate was forced to admit Mcclure.
II appears that Immediately after taking
his seat he voted with the DemocE ats on
an apportionment bill, whereupon the
Pittsburg Gazette, an ardent Admins
tralon paper atJurgates the Republican
papers that sustained him in his election
contest in words Of exceeding bitterness,
asd predicts that they viii see the day
that they will hang their heads for their
work IN his behalf The fact that his
claims were just is not considered; he
had refused to Geeept party dictation,
and that was deemed asudioient reason
TO prove that be. should haze been de-
prived Of his seat. In Congress the same
disregard to the convtitutional rights of
men who have been legally elected to
