Senator HOwes's Attack on the Ad-
 ministratiOn.

ministratiOn.
 WASHINGTON, March S. Senator Howe's speech in the Senate attacking the administration, or rather, as he facetiously termed it, explaining the reasons why he has not gwen a cordial support to the Presidents policy, at- tracted very large audience, but on the whole was much more interesting and effective than his auditors expect. ed. A great portion of it was devoted to the oft repeated and tiresome story of Louisiana affairs, and the attack on Schurz, though pungent and vigorously phrased, was entirely of a personal nature, and by emitting any reference to his administration of the Interior Department, left it to be inferred that the Secretary's official record has been found invulnerable. It seems to be
 understood that Howe's speech was de signed to draw forth some defense of the President, and to be only the first of number of similar demonstrations, which are intended to drive the Presi- dent into the arms of the Democrats or force him back into the ranks of hls former party friends. The Democratic Senators have determined to keep si- lent, and leave the Republicans to quarrel without giving assistance to either faction, and If they are all ad- here to this determination, which is doubtful, the anti-Administration pro. gramme will be deprived of most of its anticipated interest and importance. The President and Senator HOwe's
 Speech.
 WASHINGTON, March 26.-A number
 of members of Congress, friends of the
 President, called upon him this morn ing in reference 10 the speech of Sena tor Howe. They all expressed more feeling in the matter than the Presi- dent himself, and suggested that the speech be answered, fearing that to permit it to pass in silence might be an admission of its entire truth. The President took a different view, plac- ing himself on the ground that his ev- cry official action was based on his sense of right, without thinking for al moment what might be the result as affecting him personally. He was op- posed to public response, and pre- ferred that his acts snoul be the best interpreter of his motives and princi. pies. He had sought to perform his duty, and with this he was content, no matter how others with prejudicedl minds might view his conduct. All would recollect, he said, how bitterly Senator Howe had denounced Presi- dent Lincoln toward the close of his l first term, and how others sought to prevent Lincoln from being nominated for the second term, but notwithstand- ing all this he was nominated and be- came more popular than ever the people having become better acquain- ted with him and appreciated his con duct more. President Hayes was per fectly willing to be judged by the same tribunal. The President does not apI ear Tn the least disturbed by Senator Howe's speech, believing that time will fully vindicate him.
