The Senate proceedings to-day were witnessed
by more than 1000 spectators, who filled the
galleries and occupied oil the available space on
the floor. Many members Of the House and dis
tinguished visitors from abroad were among
those who sat or stood behind the outer row Of
desks of the Senators. Judge Davis, the first
speaker, was listened to with close attention,
and his reasons for immediate action on Buffers
credentials were received with great satisfaction
by the Democratic side of the chamber The
effect Of his plausible remarks were, however.
utterly dissipated by Edmunds' reply. which
instantly followed with oonsummate force and
keeness. He referred to Davis argument in
favor of sending Eustis' case to the committee,
on the ground that il involved questions of law
and that the Senate should have the benefit of
the Investigation and report from the committee,
and asked why he should now seek to force
action by the Senate upon another case involv-
ing both legal questions and matters of fact in
advance of any examination whatever by the
committee. With equal effectiveness he inquired
if the Senator was, as stated, equally as anxious
Tor the speedy settlement of all three Of the
senatorial contests, why he should not vote to
take up the Kellogg-Spofford case. which had
been already fully examined and reported upon?
He also showed that Davis was entirely mis-
taken regarding the action of the House in the
Colorado case. In the course of further remarks
he scornfully denounced the pending resolution
as an effort to do an extraordinary and anomal-
GUS thing by means of race and scramble of
or corrupt bargain and sale Of
votes. His subsequent explicit assertion that
he believed such bargain and sale will be proved
created decided sensation, as he is known to
be very cautious in making such statements.

cast in accordance with the will of the people
Of South Carolina, and with his own announce
ment made month ago, and he should not be
denounced or read out of the party fer this
reason, any more than Edmunds should be for
his vote against the admission of Pinchback

PARIS, Nov. %.
The soleil says fresh dissolution, if voted
by the Senate, would complicate instead Of solve
the crisis. The Republique Franchise demands
the withdrawal Of the new Cabinet, and reviews
its argument in favor of u congress of the two
