After a long colloquial debate, Mr..
Conkling, of New York, said the eX-
perience of this day had been extraor-
dinary. The Senate had listened to al
tercations between Senators as to what
took place in Committee, all Of which
was unparlismentary. A Senator
moved 10 lay the resolution Of the Sen
ator from Ohio on the table, which was
within the usuages and propriety Of
the Senate. A Senator moving q reso-
luton, representing no Committee, but
doing o of bis own volitlon, could not
draw into himself all the attributes Of
a Chairman Of q Committee, entitled TO
close tho debate on an important meas
ure. The yeas and nays had been
ordered on The motion 10 lay the reso-
lntion on the table. He submitted tha;
the Senator from Massachusetts, Mr..
Hoar, had no right TO withdraw tha;
motion now. For one, he wanted 10
see the sense of tho Senate taken as
promptly as possible upon the very ex-
traordinary motion to discharge the
Committee on Privileges and Elections
from further consideration Of these
credentials. As the vote upon Mr..
Hoar's resolution was about 10 be
taken, Mr.. Thurman moved that the
Senate proceed to the consideration Of
Executive business.
Mr.. Conkling and others: mo, no
let US have vote on this motion 10 lay

The motion on Executive session
was agreed 10; yeas 30, nays 20.
Messrs. Ransom, Armstrong, Grover,
Herman, Cockrell, and Maxey, who
would nave voted in the affirmative,
were paired with Messrs. Anthony,
Plumb, Blaine, Cameron, OF Wis,
Edmunds and Ferry, who would have
voted In the negative. Tho Senators,
in announcing these pairs, stated thai
although this was Il motion for an Ex-
ecutive session, they regarded such
motion as one of political significance,
and therefore withheld their votes.

tits good to see that the West and
South have atlAst discovered that Their
interests in the great currency question
now agitaling the country are identical
An analysis Of the vote in the House
Of Representatives by which the Silver
Bill was passed, shows that the only
opposition the bill received, with tri-
ding exceptions, came from the Eastern
and Middle S,ates. The West and
South passed the bill. This fact has al
ready caused the fur to fly. The New
York Herald, the organ Of the credi or
classes and OF the rich people
Of the great metropolis, now complains
that "lhe Alleghanies are taking the
place Of the old Mason and Dixon'S
Line, and the new irrepressible conflict
is between the States of the Atlantic
Seaboard and those in the Mississippi
Valley. y We are again being
drawn into a vortex Of geographical
politics. .. The unreasonable
domination OF the West Is no more TO
be submitted to than was the unrea.
sonable domination Of the South. The
West is already nearly as unanimous
for reputation as the South ever was
for slavery"
These Eastern bond.holders arc
alarmed at the great power OF the West
and South combined, and they begin
to cry repudiation, 10 frighten the
masses into obedience 10 their leaders,
who are determined to reach gold pay
ments by contraction, ifevery industry
in the country is paralyzed for decade
by It. This selfish, avaricious purpose is
being manfully combated by the West
aud South, and these great sections Of
the Union will not be frightened from
this opposition by the mere catch.cries
"rag baby" and "repudiation." If tits

we're originally payable in those metals,
the Eastern men, Democrats and Re-
publicans, may make the most Of il,

cause these very men have sustained,
and are now supporting and
inspiring policy that makes them

promptly paid, while the greenbacks
are discredited by the Government

shamelessly discounting them month

GOLDSMITH MAID AT CHICO.

A second mile in 2 minutes and 149 sec
onds in heat race, is, we believe, the fastest
mile ever trotted under such circumstances.
That peerless trotter Goldsmith Maid, accom-
plished this unparalleled feat at Chico on
Saturday last The following is an account
of the race as conveyed by telegraph:
Chico, MAY 19.-Fully three thousand peo-
pie gathered on the track to-day to witness the
great race between Goldsmith Maid and Ra-
rus There was proposition that purse of
$1,000, in addition to the $1,000 purse, be of
fered by the Association, if the best record of
time in the State should be beatenr. A ques-
ton was raised as to what time had to be
beaten to get the extra purse, some thinking
that 2:163-the best time when the PROPOSE
ton was printed-should be held the best,
but Doble, SpIann and other horsemen here,
decided that the time made III San Jose by
the Maid, 2:16&, must be beaten to win the
money. The horses got away i'll the first heat,
after three scores, close up under the wire
At the quarter-pole the Maid led length and
kept the lead to the outcome, taking the heat
in 2:195, Rarus being close to her shoulder
1t seemed to be we'll understood before the
second heat that time was the enemy they
had to conquer Both horses got away on
the second heat at the word, Rarus being at
least length behind They went down to
the quarter in % seconds, keeping their posi-
tons to the half, Rarus closing on the home
stretch dangerously near to the Maid, but the
latter passed the wire in 2:147, recording the
best time ever made IN a race, amidst enthu-
siastic cheers from the spectators. Before
the third heat was called, Blackblrd and his
colts We're exhibited, and Occident and Bo-
dine stepped around the track On the third
heat the Maid got away i'll the lead, and kept
it to the outcome in 2:17, Splann trotting
Rarus close up to the Maids shoulder The
people are much gratitied and enthusiastic
over the race
In match against time, on one of the
Eastern race tracks, Goldsmith Maid trotted
a mile in 2:144 but she never made mile,
in an actual race, in such splendid time as at
Chico. The series of triumphs accomplished
by this wonderful mare surpasses even the
career of Flora Temple on the turf.
