than has been supposed. A runner pre-.

taken place between Conkling and Pen

sion.
At, the opening Of the Senate to-day
tho resolution for the election OF Senate
ottiCers was laid before the Senate as un'
finished business.
A motion to 90 into executive session
made by Mr., Peudleton was defeated

Mr.. Lamar said the present attitude Of
the Senate was an extraordinary one and
one without precedent In the history OF the
country, Announcement has beeh made
that the business which the Senate has
been called 10 transact should not be trans.
acted til the present officers were deposed
and others elected. II report was
true the thirty.eight Republican Senators
intended TO keep the body In the present
position till that object was accomplished.
Abiding 10 the remark OF Mr.. HoAr that
the announcement that the Demo-
cratic eide would meet endurance
with endurance, contained the very es'
sense OF treason and revolution,
be said II that were true 1t would devolye
q terrible responsibility on the Democratic
side, but only II 1t was true. He could see
that, II the Senate was disoTganizsd or un.
organised, II there were vacancies, that a
iaCtious opposition 10 filling these VaCan.
cies, protfaCted 10 the end ot the session,
would be unpatriotic aud reprehenslble,
but such was not the case.
Mr.. Dawes hoped Lamar would now i'm.
press upon his side the importance Cfcon.
sidering the pending resolution. Mr..
Lamar Tejoined by irquiring whether the
Senator from Massachusetts, thought the
removal Of Senate officers was as import.
ant as filing the vacancy ln the Supreme
Court, which was not now In session by
reason Of the vacancy.
Mr.. Dawes moved to adjourn Till Mon.
day, to which the Democrats objected,
Mr. Hoar replied somewhat sGvRgely to
Mr.. Lamar's remarks, particularly to those
in which he quoted from former speeches
OF Mr.. Hoar.
Mr.. Lamar was too much exhausted to
reply, but said be would take an early
occasion 10 do 80.
Mr. Dawes In replying 10 Mr.. Lamar
said that there was q time when Mr.
Lamar had the ear OF the people OF Mafsa.
chuuetts, but that time had passed.
Mr.. Dawes alleged that when Mr.. Lamar
entered Congress Massachusetts, welcomed
him because he professed 10 Rbjure what
he had done during the war.
Senator Hill replied to some remarks Of
Mr. Dawes. lie had never stated, he said,
as had been stated by Mr.. Dawes, that he
had never heard Of the Hathaway murder,
Of the Chisholm murder, or Of the Dixon
murder, but, WGS he responsible for thatP
Some years ago some men bud been killed

Mr.. Logan replied that 80 far as the
