The Debate In the Senate on Pcnsi0nlng Jen
Davis.

Senator Lamar, of Mississippi, hitherto
not reckoned among the firc-eatcrs-
said II must confess my surprise and
regret that the Senator from Massachusetts
should have wantonly and without proyoca-
ton adng this insult. The only difference
between myself and Jefferson Davis is, that
his exalted character, his eminent ability,
his well established reputation is n states
man, As Il patriot and a. soldier, entitled
HIM TO take the lead in the cause to which
| consecrated myself, and to which every
fibre Of my heart warmly responded y Then
followed an eulpgy upon JEFF Davis, in
which he was compared to Washington, and
characterized as the ideal statesman Of the
South.
Mr. Thurman went so far as to assert that
Massachusetts had been more violent in
treason than any other State in the Union
lie thought that inasmuch as Longstreet
had been appointed a postmaster, Orr min
i~:er to Russia, Akernan attorney-gencral,
Key postmaster general and MO-by consul
at China. there ought ito be no objection to
pensiOning Davis. Bat he neglected to take
into account the repentance OF tho persons
favored and the impenitence Of the one whose
cause he was pleading.
The speech of Senator Matthews was the
finest made by him since he entered the
Senate and he greatly surprised the Repub-
lican side Of the Chamber by his bold utter
anceS and advanced position regarding the
duty of the Republicans. The speech was
full of warning to the Democratic party for
attempting to defeat the appropriation bills
for political purposes. the speech made a
deep impression Washington Letter.

THE DEMOCRATIC PRoCRAMHE.


washington, March s-The democratic
Congressman have about adopted the fol-
lowing programme for the called session:
No legislation is to DO INDUCED in except
the appropriation bills and the repeal clauses
which defeated their enactment. A bill is
to be passed at the earliest possible date
after the organization has been perfected,
repeating the national election laws. The
section of the statutes which permits the

will be passed. Should the President
veto them Congress will then adjourn

another session. when the same programme

surrender. The President will. in his mes
sage, show that the increase of sppropria-

rated by the last House will render it
necessary to provide additional revenue,
