Dreatnless silence, while every eye turned upon

THURSDAY, MARCH 81.
:, Inc resolution for the election of officers of
tne senate was again before the senate, and
sPeecnes were made on general politics by
senators S Cameron, Pa, Maxey, Tex. Dawes,
MASS Jones and Kellogg, of La, and Others
MI Dawes, who is conducting the republi-
can side with great skill and caution, sent
page around among the republican senators,
WIN nsS OF questions, to which affirmative or
negative answers were requested These
question, were:
,fHst-Shau we begin to have night sessions
an ana MAXI 1t matter of physical endurance?"
TO the proposition, owing doubtless to the fact
that "a TINS the Democrats wonld have a great
advantage, as they would he ~tne4" iss s vX neep
butslxteen men III the senate, just sufhclent
to denana the yeas and nays.
''Second-Shall we go into executive session
each day at 4 80 o'clock and do some bust
ness?" There was small majority against this
plan.
''Third-Shall we have a caucus?" Upon
this also the members we're almost equally di-
vided, a small ma aj0rity being in favor of
caucus.
Various propositions for a compromise are
suggested, but the prospect of breaking the
deadlock seems as dim as at the beginning.
FRIDAY, APRIL 1.
The senate was the scene of several exciting
and interesting episodes. Lamar of Mississip-
pi, made formal speech. He spoke with
great earnestness, in a high key, shaking his
head and swinging his arms violently His
speech was listened to with great attention and
much satisfaction by the democratic senator's,
and was the most cogent presentation of
the subject thus far made from that side
He was extremely bitter on tho disclosure of
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
to approve it He was obliged to suspend his
remarks on account of sudden illness.
Hoar replied, and at the first fire disclosed the
inconsistency in the speech of Lamar by a re-
ference to the repudiating record of Mississippi
He was also especially felicitous in replying
to Mr.. Lamars intimation that he hated the
South. The North desired to see the South
free, prosperous and happy, and to accomplish
this was willing to shut up her factories, let the
grass grow in her streets and shut up the count
ing rooms Of her people. "Show us the mea-
sure and we will pay the taxes necessary to
sustain the South. tits
NOT THE SOUTH WE HATE.
1t is the tyranny, assassination and that Bour.
bonism which has made no progress in twenty
years."
Senator Gauge of Mississippi repelled state
ments derogatoDy to Mississippi, denying charges
of bull-donng, etc. Butler of s. c., denied the
reports of ravages in South Carolina and Louis
lana, and when Logan stated that Phil Sheridan
had reported list of 2, 900 names of men who
had been murdered for their political opinions
in Louisiana and Texas, Voorhees, declared that
there was no truth in the charge, to which
Logan retorted 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 a passage in which
each said he was not afraid of the bravado of
the other
To cap the climax Voorhees, sent to the clerks
desk an article from the Philadelphia Evening
Telegram stating that it was the views of Re.
publican newspaper article, criticized the Re-
publicans for attempting to change the offices,
and denounced Malone as renegade Democrat
and repudiator.
Malone rose and spoke few angry ords,
to which Voorhees, responded, endorsing the
sentiments of the article in question. The con-
troversy finally closed, and thesena adjourned.
