| senators IalN1nS Up Threadbare ropes I The Deadlock Still UnbroLen-An- nouncement of Financial Policy. WASHINGTON, April 1.-The Senate this morning began another week of proftless | and idle debate. Senator Johnston's desk was covered with floral shield sent by his l admirers in Virginia. Senator Edmunds re- ! appeared and received many congratulations from his associates on both sides upon his return from Florida in restored cath. Af- ter the pending business-the resolution for | the election of officers of the Senate-came up MT. Call, of Florida, resumed his ] speech of Thursday last, speaking for an l hour, saying it was in bad taste for the Mas | sachusetts Senators to attack free ballot in | the South when their own institutions dis | franchised so many. He continually in- | terrupted by Messrs. Hoar and Dawes, who tried to put their suffrage laws in the right | light He also cited the acknowledged ine- quality of legislative representation in Con- | necticut and circumstances in Vermont and l Rhode Island as inconsistent with the pres ! ent issue of free ballot. MT. Dawes in re- plying alleged that the only possible objec- | tionable qualification in his State was that I each voter should read and write. Her schools were free and all could learn if they wished, and new corners being obliged to re- main year before voting had ample time to l avail themselves of the requirements Mir. Camden followed, reading set speech in an | almost inaudible tone in defense of West Virginia's position in relation to the public l debt of the old State of Virginia. He did | not blame Virginia, but tried to show that West Virginia had tried to do her share in the matter. Mir. Vest denied Sherman's I statement that the will of the majority was supreme. The minority had more rights than the right of debate, and they meant to exercise them if it took until December He referred also to the Republican coalition with readjusters, and expressed especial wonder that the late Secretary of the Treasury should support those for sympathy with whom he threatened to remove government official at Petersburg, Va, during his term of office The President of the United States eighteen months ago said he would never shake hands with a rebel who had not openly repented. The Senator from Virginia had said here openly that he had no apology to make for his part in the war, aud yet he fell back into the amorous embrace of the junior Senator from Massachusetts, while the air was filled with the aroma of rare exotics sent from the executive conservatory to grace the marriage feast. MT. Allison occupied few moments clearing the skirts of Iowa from the charge of repudiation. Some of it's bonds had been compromised, but always to the satisfaction of creditors. At 4:55 p. m., on motion of Mir. Dawes, the Senate adjourned until 12 m. to- morrow.
 number of prominent ladies of this city to-day issued an eloquent appeal to the peo- pie of the United States in behalf of the suf- fering inhabitants of Chios. They urge that churches of all denominations take up collec- tions and banks and moneyed institutions open subscription lists. Riggs $ Co.,, bank CTS. of Washington, will receive and trans init and the daily papers of Washington will acknowledge the receipt of all moneys re- ceived.
