WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The u,onotonY Of tho
technical debate in tho oaao Of Oallwol1 waa re-
1tovod tlis afternoon by spicy passage between
Conk1ng and schurz: The Now York senhtor,
in his peroration, indulgod In discourse upon
the different shades Of moral guilt. He Haid
that ho could SEQ no moro moral obligation In
paying $4,000 to buy OF m opposing candidate,
as Caldwo}l had done, than In charging largo
sum per diem Tor delivering political speeches
in campaign. When Oonkling delivered
himself Of this eontenco, ho turned
around upon sohurz In manner
Which indicated tho exact peraon to whom ho had
reference. As soon as Conkling had concluded
his remarkB, which WAS in few minutes aftor
this insinuation, sohurz took tho door for q por-
aonal explanation. In voice, trembling with
Indignation, ho advortod to tho fnot tlat thus far
this lobate had boon conducted without poraon-
al reflection. Proceeding on this theory, ho then
stated TINT, 30 for as he himBc1f WAS concerned,
ho had debated tho resolution simply upon Its
morits, without reference oither to porHonal or
party considerations. Had 1o chosen to lntorpo-
late his speech with mattors which were merely
tho gonsip Of the hour, ho might havo etatod
that tho Senator from Now York was charged
with having receivod n fec OF $4,000 from the
Central Pacific Railroad while he waH Senator,
but ho did not consider such Rtuff as this worthy
Of either himaelf or tho occasion. ThiB rofer-
cnco brought Conkling to his feet, who, In d
towering passion, authorized Bchura to pro-
liar; to which sohurz responded that Conkling
might have tho. sano authority to 70.
thst ho received certain stipulated sum por
diem for delivering political speeches during the
this scene, the Senate went into executive aes-
sion, although Cameron was extremely anxioua
reply to the remarks Of Senator Hamilton, Of
Maryland, made carly In tho day, rolatiyo to tho
circumstances attending the election Of Charles
1868. Hamilton charged upon Cameron that he
attempted to buy tho Democratic ncnlbo1s OF
tho PennBylyania Legislature at that timo to
make himself Senator, and that he was only
threatening that any man who sold out to CAM
oron would DO shot, aa Hamilton stated tho
Democratic memhors Of the Legislature votcd
with pistols ut thoir heads. Cameron proposes
