Mr.. Dawes, who. is Conducting tho repu3h-
can side with great skill and caution, sent
page around among the republican senators,
with a list Of questions, to which affirmative OF
negative anaWeTs were requested. These
questions were:
''F:tst-shau we now begin TO have night

negative gwen to the proposition, owing doubt
less to the fact that IN this the democrats woak
have great advantage, as shey would be
obliged to keep but sixteen mon in the senate,

The senate was the scens Of several exciting
and interesting episodes. Lansr Of Mississip
pi, rnade formal speech. He spoke with
great earnestness, in a high key, shaking his
head and swinging his arms violently. His
speech was listened 70 with great attention sad
much satisfaction by the democratic senator's
and vas the most cogent presentation OF
the subject thus fer made from chat side.
He vss extremely bitter On .ho disclosure O:
the purpose OF the Republicans to sustain Ma
hone in the coming fight The North would
not endorse it The sentiment Of commercial
and national honor was too strong in the North

Logan retortad that the dead bodies Of men in
the streets could not be denied From this
point the debate became personal and very point
ed. Logan and Butler had passage in which
each said he was not afraid Of tho bravado Of
the other.
To cap the climax Voorhees, sent 70 the clerks
