Rainwater published all open letter to
Gov. Marmadnke, in which he treats
the matter in the most bistor aud
scathing terms, denounces the affidavit
as most infamous lie, and believes
that those who read it will agree with

MIR. Blair sworn in After II Lengthy
Debate.


Washington, March lO.-The reso-
luton offered yesterday by senator
llOar that MIR. Blair be sworn in as
senator to ill n vacancy was taken up
aud very long argument onsued.
The legislature which is to elect n
senator from New Hampshire will
not meet till next June, and the de
bate turned on the point whether in
this emergency the governor has the
right TO appoint Blair to ill the va
cancy and whether vacancy had
really occurred which the executive
could provide for. Nothing of par
ticular interest developed in the de-
bate except the point made by Mr.
Ingalls, that the question at issue had
Il significant bearing on the scuatori-
al vacancies in Illinois aud Oregon.
After further debate the resolution
was agreed to-ycas 30, nays 90. The
only departure from division on par
ty lines was in the case of Jones, of
Florida, who voted in the affirmative
with the republicans. The oath was
then administered TO Mr.. Blair and
the senate adjourned.
