WASHINGTON, March 2s.-Ths gal
leriss were crowded BY sishtsssrs anxiou,
to hear Mahons's speech. After the
reading Of the journal. Malone sI.
pressed regrets at being again compelled
to interrupt the deliberations Of the
Senate. he had been provoked. and II
those who found pleasure in varied and
upssnsrous assaults did not justify him.
hs was sure Of the respect Of the brave
and independent spirits here and Of biz
own people. He must believe the 90.
tons Of these Senators comported with
thar ideas Of manly department and
Senatorial dignity. Virginia was 90
oustomsd to the Independent, Anglo.
Saxon way OF asserting It's rights, and
he would rspel any impeachment oil
his constituents who sent hin hert
With clearly defined duties. which they
and hs somprshsnded. confident Of his
devotion and loyalty to her every inter.
est. He was elected to do her will; mol
the will Of Q caucus. Virginia earned
the title Of the "0ld Dominion BY
broad and Independent action. He'
sons, without the help Of those who
would now interfere with her Affairs, had
earned that title. Al to the intimation,
which he was 10th to believe came 10
GOOD faith, that be was influenced BY i'm
pure motives In his action, he would say,
In SCOTS words:
"And II thou saysst I I'm mot peer
To any lord In Scotland here,
Highland or lowland, far or near,
Lord Angus. thou hast lied"
He regretted and Was amazed BY the
fact that Johnston had Joined In the
assault In trsduoing him, not a. bis COL
league, but a. Rspudiator. BE must
apologize for Johnston's criticisms and
peryersious. Whatever he and his CO.
horts may attempt, by the chesp logic Of
an attorney, TO demonstrate what / ought
to be, I am, by my oonvietions and my
sense OF honor, what / am. In this par.
tioulsr I have largely the advantage oil
my colleague. for II I take him BY hii
record, dininutivs a. 1t 10, he never
knows what he 10 or what duty he came
here to perform. (Laughter.l
Malone then proceeded to give an OK.
haustive review Of the political and
financial history OF Virginia for the last
decade. .
At the conclusion OF Mahone's speech
the roll was called on several dilstory
motions, but there was no action on the
pending resolution or any further dc.
bate. aud ut 4:l5 the Senate adjourned
until tomorrow.
Mahone's speech was far less senss'
tional than his first effort. The Demo
Gratis did not interrupt, apparently hav.
Ing 90 agreed. At $50 he was warmed
up thoroughly. he defended Riddle
berger, and asserted that Johnston was
elected because be had M record, and
could again be elsoted on the same
ground. Interest tagged about 3 o'clock
This speech has undoubtedly strength
ened the determination Of the Democrats
TO fight. They consider It an attack on
the entire Democracy. and especially On
the South. They say they will never
allow the election OF Riddslberger. The
feeling Is very bitter, and even II Riddsl'
berger should DO Withdrawn, 1t 10 doubt
full II the Democrats would cease hlibus-
tering. Voorhees,, Brown and others
will answer Malone. VOORHEES, has
been collecting Mahone's history, and
will make o severe speech. The He
publioans will fight all Summer.
