A Senatorial Scene.

WAsIIINGToN, Jan. 4.-There was a
sensational side to scene connected with
the Fitz Porter discussion last evening
which has not yet appeared in print.
Gen. Logan in his afternoon speech
spoke of the solid Democratic vote in
favor of Porter, saying: "This vote
means that that side of the chamber is
ready to restore those who played u.
false or acted false part on our side
during the war"
At this remark, Vance. of North Caro-.
lima, walked over to the Republican side,
aud, meeting Logan. who was on his way
to the cloakroam, said: "That was o

meaning to say anything personally dis
respectful to any Senator"
Nevertheless, what did you say was
contemPtible,"" said Vance. "You mnst
have fully understood the import Of your
language. You know very we'll that the
Southern Senators have taken but little,
if any, part in the Porter discussion to
influence anybody's vote in his behalf.

Northern Senators, one Democrat and
the other Republican, and we have

listen to your long speeches. 1t has
came to pretty pass, when a Senator
can not do as he pleases OH this floor in
the way of voting without having his
motives impugned. Your speech, sir
was bitter and wholly unjustiGabe one
and your mean charge totally unfound

The conversation was heard by several
Senators, and created quite q sensation
