AN EXCITING SCENE,

AN EXCITING SCENE. .....
The Boston Adrertiser's special of Friday
morning says:
There was an exciting scene in the Senate
at the close OF Mr.. Conklings speech to-day.
He took occasion, toward the close OF his re-
marks, to aliude to a Senator's delivering po-
litical speeches at two hundred dollars
night, meaning Mr.. Schurz, as everybody I'M
Cerstood. The latter took occasion to say
that there was no truth whatever IN tne
story that he had during the Presldential
| campaign, received that sum OF money, OF
any other sum, for his speeches., Mr.. Conk,
ling then brought up the pay ne had received
| for an earlier campaign. Mr.. ochurZ repeat
| ed the explanation OF that Inattel-wnicn
| took place before he was Senator-made III
| the Senate last winter. Finally Mr.. Conk-
| Iing said he didn't allude to Mr.. Schurz ia his
| fir:f remarks. The sparring was very sharp,
and while in progress caused considerable eX-
element. Tomorrow Mr.. Gamer on has the
floor for a reply to Mr.. Hamilton of Mary-
land, who referred to the old charge that
when Mr.. Buckalew was elected Senator
from Pennsylvania the Cameron party had
bought up two democrats, but they were
prevented from voting for Mr.. Cameron nv a
party OF roughs from Philadelphia going to
Harrisburg and threatening to shoot anv
democrat who so voted. Mr. Hamilton cited
this.as an instance of State legislature act
ing under duress. Mr. Cameron has per-
sonal explanation written and will be the
hrst on the floor tomorrow. Senator Nor
ton expects 20 be able to close the debate
during Saturday. The Senate will assemble
tomorrow at half past ten and probably re-
main in session until lale. Mr.. Morrill, Of
Vermont expects to be among the speak,
ers.

A ssM0rtgaged City,

The New York Bulletin in commenting
upon the decision of the Supreme Court OF
Massachusetts, against the constitutionality Of
the Boston fire loan which it approves as most
judicious as question of policy, takes occa-
sion to enforce its opinion, by the following
very remarkable statement:
Portland in similar emergency provided
public fund to aid in rebuilding the city,
and the result was that more houses were
built than were necessary, and to this DAY
rents are lower than is warranted by the cap
ital invested in buildings, and the city ~
mortgaged for more than it is worth.
1t would be difficult to conceive how more
numerous and more glaring errors coulu NC
crowded into so few words.
First: The amount of building loan poh.S
issued by the city was $S95,OOO, OF which
S177.OOO have been redeemed and Cancelled.
The idea that this sum has had an influence
to stimulate building is too absurd to notice.
Second: There is the evidence to show the
falsitv Of the statement that more houses
have been built than are necessary, and that
rents are generally lower than the capital in
vested warrants. There are, it is true, some
unoccupied stores, but the number of first
class rents of this character that are untaken
is small, and we are happy to add, is growing
smaller every year. As to dwelling houses,
the statement is VIGOROUSLY untrue, as those
who have occasion to seek them will testify.
We have the best authority for stating that
there are no more vacant houses than are
usually found inicities of the sizeof Portland,
and not so large a number in proportion to
the population as may to-day be found with
in the limits of Boston and the cities in its
immediate vicinity. a-@a ID
Third: The declaration that the city OF
Portland "is mortgaged for more than it is
WORTH is only more remarkable than the
others noticed because it would be impossible
for paper protesting to be authority in these
matters, to announce, in SO few words, its
formal abdication of any claim for any respect
for its er-cathedrG utterances hereafter. Hav-
ing taken some pains to consult the assessors
and Others entirely competent to give an ac-
curate opinion on the suhject,w are informed
that less than one-eighM of the valuation of
the real estate of the city is under mortgage,
either by city loans or personal mortgage. We
are further assured that the mortgages are
very largely held by parties residing in the
city, which affords further proof that the city
is not entirely bankrupt.
1t may be properly suggested to the Bulle-
tin that its opinions would have more weight
if it would take little care to know some
thing of which it speaks with such authority.
