 WASHINGTON, March 31.-In the Senate to-day there was no variation from the mo- notony that has characterized the proceed ings since the deadlock over the election of Senate officers began. MT. Dawes, immedi- ateIy after the Senate convened, called up his resolution and the debate was resumed. Mir. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, was the first speaker to-day, arraigning the minority for their attitude on this question. While not denying the right of the majority to rule, they simply said the minority would resist the fulfllment of this right by dilatory mo- tions and prolonged speeches. But this con test was not merely to secure officers. There was something above all that, something the importance of which had not received atten- tion. It was the coming political contest ii Virginia. The Senator from Virginia (AIr. Mahone) had terrified the old Democratic re- gime of his State. The Democrats of the South had appealed to southern Democrats to cover the Senator from Virginia with oppro- brium so that his followers at home would not dare to support him. He had made po- litical slavery impossible in Virginia. He had championed the cause of free elections and he had the sympathy of the Republican party in that good work All Virginia would see that the North fraternized with all ex-Con- federates who were known by their acts, as well as by their words, to be in favor of an honest ballot and fair count. The Republican party gave it's vote for Riddleberger as an earnest that it was not sectional Whoever was right was it's friend. This and this only was the bargain that it had to offer it's south with the national growth. If Virginia took her stand on the platform of an honest ballot the solid South was thing of the past. Mir. Maxey, of Texas, followed, the burden of his speech being that the majority was not fairly elected and that the Democratic party was always in favor of free ballot, to which Mir. Dawes very effectually replied in contra diction. Mr. Jonas, of Louisiana, next got chance, and devoted some time to the state ments of his colleague that the Packard gov ernment owed it's downfall to the efforts of the Louisiana lottery, which he emphatically denied. Mr. Kellogg answered him, and spoke for upward of an hour on the political corruption in Louisiana, MT. Jonas replying briefly in surrebuttal Dilatory motions. varied by colloquies between Messrs Beck, Hoar, Logan and Dawes, were continued un- til ten minutes past five. when on motion of Mr. Dawes the Senate adjourned till 12 m. tomorrow The situation remains un- changed and another day, if not another week of filibustering, is expected.
