WASHINGTON, D. c., April "a
Hon. Matthew S. Quay to-day was re-
fused a seat in the United States Sen
ate on the appointment of the Cover
nor of Pennsylvania by a vote of SO
to 80. The entire time of the Senate
to-day was devoted to debate on the
question, many of the greatest lawyers
and orators in the body delivering
speeches. AS the days session wore
on and the hour for the final vote ap-
preached, the galleries gradually filled
until they were thronged with multi
tudes, while other multitudes were I'M
able to gain admission. On the floor
of the Senate was every member of the
body now in the city and scores of
members of the House of Representa-
tives. The great throng listened with
deep attention to the brilliant argu-
ment Of Mr.. Spooner in favor of the
seating of the former Pennsylvania
Senator, and to the dramatic and frey
eloquence of MI. Daniel, of Virginia,
who appealed to his colleagues to do
what, on his oath as a Senator, he
deemed right, and vote to do justice
to him who was knocking at the Sen
ate doors. AS the big clock opposite
the president pro tempore indicated
four o'clock there was a hush in the
chamber. Mr.. Frye in the chair an
Eounced that the hour for the final
vote had arrived and that the ques-
ton was the pending motion of Mr..
ton declaring Mr.. Quay not to be en-
titled to a seat the word mot" SEN
ators throughout the chamber eagerly
followed the roll call, for all knew the
vote would be close. The first sensa-
ton was caused by the failure of Mr..
Pettigrew, of South Dakota, to answer
to his name, although he was in his
seat. When Mr.. Vests name was call
ed he voted mo" in a clear, distinct
voice, thus dashing the last hope Of
the friends Of Mr.. Quay, who had ex-
pected confidently that the distinguish
ed Missourian would vote for his long
time personal friend. In perfect ST.
lence it was announced that the SEN
ate had denied to Mr.. Quay the seat
which he had sought for some months
past.
The vote on Mr.. Chambers motion
was as follows:
Yeas-Allison, Baker, Carter, Chand-
Ter, Clark, Wyoming); Cullom, Dan

Gloom Pervades Harrisburg.
HARRISBURG, Pa, April 24.-Col.
Matthew S. Quay's defeat fell like a
bombshell in the camp of his follow
ers gathered in this city for the State
convention tomorrow. It was entire
" unexpected, as in anticipation OF
his triumphant vindication, the regu-
lar organization had come together
from all over the State and extensive
preparations had been made to cele-
brate what they expected would be a
joyous occasion. Instead, however, of
parades, fireworks and lively times, by
the bands, all is gloom tonight Not
all is sorrow in Harrisburg, however.
In the headquarters OF the anti-Quay-
ties, or Insurgents" presided over by
State Senators Martin, of Philadelphia,
and Finn, of fPittsburg. there was
gathered tonight a party of men who
were not slow TO express their salts
faction.
The result at Washington takes
Quay out of the race for the Senator
ship. Naturally Gov. Stone is spoken
OF. but the anti-Quayites declare that
the Governor would be equally az OBJ
jectionable as Quay by reason of his
close affiliation. Gov. Stone was asked
tonight whether he would now call
an extra session Of the Legislature, but
he declined positively to have any
thing to say on the subject
