THEY scARIFIED HILL.

From New York, and Later When
 Senator Daniel Got After Him He
 Hurrledly Left the Senate Chamber
 Senator Mills Becomes Angry. WASHINGTON, Oct 1S.-As soon as the
 ssnate got quorum to day Senator Nor
 gan continued his attack upon Senator
 Hill, and was evidently made bitter by
 Hills remarks about him last night. He
 said, turning to Hill, that there were men
 in the senate whose conseisnces were SC
 easy they could bend them to any purpose
 which their political necessities may re- | quire at any time, but such men have no
 just conception of the rights and duties of
 the representation of the people and the
 states.
 Further on during his remarks he re- ferred a number of times to Hill and at one time said an honest soldier who had
 fought him in the war never attacked his
 attitude in 1S61.' It was only those who hired substitutes and stayed at home and pleaded the baby act, or something of that kind, who were in the habit of getting up l in the senate or elsewhere and quoting the
 fact that he (Morgan) had belonged to the | secession government of the south. ] Morgan spoke for two hours, and just l before he finished hssaid that he intended | to move a substitute for the entire bill by | repeating the whole of it.
 The senate, after MT. Morgan finished, | laid MT. Dolph's motion to amend the l journal on the table. MT. Teller then ad- dressed the senate on the question of the right of the minority to obstruot legisla- | tion, and was followed by MT. Daniel. He ! referred to MT. Mills statement yesterday that he would not vote fer any comprom- l ise, and he asked that senator whether he was ready to submit the resolution to 8 maj ority of democratic senators. Was he ready to go into oonelave with them and abide by the result.
 MT. Daniel paused for a reply, but got none. He said: '!I am ready to go inte such a conclave and I will bide the re- sult.'
 MT. Hill remarked that if the presiding officer of the body agreed with him they would pass in spite of all the Instructions. (Applause which required the interposi- ton of the presiding ofSoer.) Before order was restored Mir. Hill retired-a fact which the senator had left the room with alacrity after speech in which he had been ''beating all around ths goosebarry bush with lantern."
 In closing Mr. Daniel said: I want to proceed to leglslate, in an orderly, straight forward way. do not want you gentle men (denocrats) to lecture me about break ing up the democratic party as long as you stand in the minority of the party and are unwilling to abide by It's judgment. Do not insist that your opponents shall come here at unusual hours and sit night and day while those who now claim to be in the majority will not stay here themselves. Lst us proceed regularly, according to the rules and traditions of this body, and we will bs much nearer the end than we will be by having revolutionary uttersnces about changing the rules.
 MT. Voorhees,, rising to 8 question of personal privilege, read statement in 8 morning pspsr regarding meeting of the finance committee yesterday in which he was supposed to say, and by authority, that no compromise could take place on the repeal bill in which either himself or the administration could be considered factor. MT. Voorhees, declared that there was not one word of truth in this state ment.
 Mir. Mills replied in strong and energetic terms, and with much excitement, to the criticism of MT. Daniel because he would not go into 6 caucus. He argued that there was a permanent, paramount power in each house to make the rules necessary for the despatch Of public business. He de- clared that to-day the government was in parslysis. They were told that no business should be done unless done in the way the minority desired.
 He had been asked whether he would go into caucus and abide by the result. He answered without hesitation, and he stood on tiptoe and came down to give effect to his words, "Ncl" A conferenss meant a meeting to settle difficulties. He would not go into g caucus, but he would go into a conference to see whether something could not be agreed upon by which "the nightmare might be dispellsd." This had been 6 time when he would have listened to compromise, when he had sought com promise. but when congress convened the guns had been opened on the democratic administration-the chief had been charged with infdelity to his party and the begin ming of sn anti administration party had been started, and now he had cut down his bridges and burned his boats behind him on the subject of compromise. [Ap- plause. The people did not intend to abandon the democratic position or to see the chief shot down. They would stand by him while the battle was on, umph. He had been taunted with being in company with the senator from Ohio (Sherman) They were under the leader ship (with intense bittsrness) of the distin- guished senator from Kansas (Peffef). That was a question of taste. Let every man go, he added wherever it suita him. In conclusion he said: ''Ths responsibil ity is placed on the majority to make rules and to lsgislate. If 1t does not do so an intelligent and indignant public opinion will hold that majority to account" On motion of Mr. Voorhees, the senate took recess until tomorrow morning,
