sumcd last night but will not be concluded until
tomorrow night. In the argument last night, Mr..
John Lowndes who, with Attorncy-General OCon-
nor OF South Carolina, represents that state. con-
tended that if Senator Patterson should not
be turned over TO the courts of South
Carolina, this city would become an asy-
lum for criminals. and that great injustice TO
the cause of justice would be done. Judge shell
labarger Of counsel for Senator Patterson followed.
He argued that this is the first where the
Executive Of a State has attempted to invade the
United States Senate and take away from it one
of its members and that It is all important that in
this first the courts shall interfere and prevent
an incalculable wrong from being done. He
held that not only can the court look into the war
rant, but that it is competent for the court
to try the question 10 whether the order TO extra
dite ought to have been issued. lie argued at some
length that Senator Patterson Is in no sense fugi-
tive from justice, and thai under no circumstances
can he be considered as such. ,
During the argument, which took place in the
Equity Court Room, where there was good attehd-
ance on the part Of lawyers Senator Patterson re-
NAMED outside in the hail. and seemed TO take Atte
interest IN the proceedings.
WILL DEMOCRATS TAKE ADVANTAGE.
Influential Democratic Senators disown any inten-
ton of reorganizng the Senate, should they obtain
majority of that body by the admission of Messrs.
Eustls and Butler. They certainly will not do It,
they saw If their ability TO dispace the Republican
officers and TO rearrange the committees depends
upon the votes of Senators Patterson and ConOver.
Already there is an apparently growing doubt IN
some Democratic circles weether the game they are
now in pursuit of is really worth the candle. No.
body suspects that the honorable gentlemen on the
Democratic side Of the Senate who have been so
long recognized as the leaders Of their party had
anything TO do with corrupt bargains, or unEoly
alliances with the carpetbag Senators. But this Is
