Especial telegram 70 the rtspasch.1
WAsHISaTos, January 28 There is great
excitement here tonight IN the hotels and
elsewhere over the news Of The senatorial
election in Tennessee. Generally among
Democrats there is great rejoicing, while the
Radicals all seem to be impressed with the
conviction that Andrew johnson will be the
centre piece OF some very stirring scenes in
the Senate, and think he will be very, likely
to give his hte iwpeachers evidence Of the
fact that there are blows to- give as well as
blows to receive. 3,. y ..
The advocates Of the civiLrights bill, both
black and white, are very crestfallen over the
absolute failure of that MEASURE There does
not now seem to be the slightest chance that
this bill can get before the House this session,
and of course the adjournment Of Congress
without its passage will be its everlasting
ieath.knell. -
Business in Congress is very backward,
owing to the lengthy discussions that have
taken place on the Louisiana question, and
there is probability that night sessions will
have to be commenced very soon.
Pincbback still hangs fire in the Commit.
tee on Privileges and Elections. His friends
in the Senate are not sanguine that they will
succeed in having him admitted TO seat in
that body.
The Louisiana discussion in the Senate to-
day lacked interest, the floor being held by
| Mr.. Pease, of Mississippi, who concluded
his harapgue which he commenced yesterday.
He had the effrontery to argue That the pros.
poets of a Democratic victory in 1876 bad
| done much to paralyze the industries of the
South, and contended that South Carolina,
Louisiana, and Mississippi were better gov.
erned to-day than any of The southern States.
| He read numerous paragraphs complaining
of ourages in the South but Mr.. Thurman,
in few brief remarks, showed that history
was not 10 be made from newspaper clip
pings, written on hearsay evidence; if so, q
history Of the condition Of society north OF
the Potomac might be written, which would
make northern men shudder. TIMoN.

| Th, I on;ciapa iahata ygoe thpn rpo1mPN
and MIR. PEAsE, OF Mississippi, concluded hi
argument commenced yesterday. He salt
outrages were daily committed In the South
The American Senate and the American peo
ple should become awakened TO the fact, tha
the country was on the eve Of another reVo
luton more fatal in its results than the lat
| rebellion. He argued that crime was more
| frequent In the South than in the North, ant
read from statistics to show that such wa
| the case. He denied that white men Wer'
ever punished in the South for. the murde
| of negroes. The same spirit " hich peryadet
the press of the South in 1851 existed to-day
! He knew there was large element In The
South which did not subscribe to these wilt
doctrines. The old Wing party did not sub
scribe to them, but that party was power
| less. The old Democrats, who brought or
| the difficulty before, were men VINO were
| leading editorial writers to.day-the mer
| who ere firing the southern heart to mur
der and ass1ssiuate. and oVerturn the Go
| yernment Of the United States If necessary
| In every case where the treasury Of The
| southern States had been plundered it had
| been done by Democrats. Members of tha
party were in scheme some way. He ar
| gued that Mississippi was the best recon
structed of the insurrectionary States, anC
every dollar of the State debt could be paiC
in two gears.
In conclusion, he called upon the senator
from Ohio tThurmin) as leader OF the Dem
ocratic party to say 10 Democrats in the
South that the outrages there must bt
stopped.
Mr. THURMAN read from speech delivered
| by him in the Senate January 18, 1871
where he condemned anything like violence
and asked the people OF the South to obey
| the laws. He argued that the picture OF tht
condition of the southern society could mo-
| be drawn by newspaper clippings. II theJ
were to be taken, q picture OF northern So
| ciety could be drawn which would make
any man living north of the Potomac shud
| der.
Mr.. THURxAN will conclude his speech TO-
morrow. ~
