April 13. Mr.
in. replying to Mr. Pendleton ,
' .utiraatea thai U democrats had made
noffeohul . ; rerturea to the
irom virgir. , , before tha meetlng of
r e ° * ' an a or' ' ' beRUQ-
' Harris , of Tennessee , said held
" ° ' \ld not believe a , word of the Intl-
*
uiation unless names were given who
had to done.
Mr. D&wes didn't claim that any
senator had co done , but the trusted
democratic agents had not only tried
lo approach the Virginia senator , but
had selected the candidate which they
thought would please to hare elected
eorgoant-at-arms by cc-operation with
them , in other words , that the dsmo-
'crats would make common ciuse with
him if he would make common cauie
with them.
Mr. Pendleton replied that he
never knew or heard of such a state
, of affairi. The whole statement of
the senator from Masiachneett waa
false.
- Mr. Butler asked Mr. Diwes if ho
meant to say the eeoator from Vir
ginia would have allowed himself to
bo approached in such'a way.
Mr. Dawes ridiculed such an under
standing of what ha hid aaid , and re
fused to be farther interrupted. He
then continued f6. half an hour in
arraigning the dert ocrats for oppos
ing the wish of the c onititutional majority - '
jority , characterizing such action as
dangerous to the right , i of the major
ity , as was that Jefferson Davis ut-
terad in another form y ears ago.
Mr. Harris denied tin t the boasted
republicin majori'y wasci institutional.
As the debate proceed ed Mr. Hill
made a speech beginning with a ref
erence to the recent reminds of Sen
ator Rollins to the effect thav the dem
ocrats felt aore because they were un-
abla to buy Senator Mahout 'a vote.
If indeed the vote was for salo. the
domocia'-B would have spurnoil the
proposition to purchase it. They
consider Mahone a eam'-nationsl
democrat nd were wiling to accept
him rs Bach. He would ha vo been
treated as other new democratic sen
ators , bet they would hive gl ven him.
no more than any other democrat.
Mr. Hoar hailed the concluding re
mark a % the emanation of a w\'ek of
democratic elcqnecce 2n the so nale.
They had he ra over and over a ain
that tha republican affiliation w > th
ilnhono was the endorsement of all
that was corrupt , while now the sen a-
tor from Georgia declared that , had h e
wished to go with thorn , Mahono write
to be treated the same as other demo
crats , his financial views apd local
tenets notwithstanding.
Mr. Hill denied that he had over
callad Mahone a regular democrat. He
found , no fault with him s a roadjus-
terj that was his own affair , but when
ho became a republican , there WM
fault to ba found. He had never de
clared himself a republican why
' didn'tht ? A word from him on. that
'subject would be worth more than a
hundred speeches from the senator
from Massachusetts.
Mr. Mahono , who had been paying
close attention , arose , 'and it was at
once evident that he was about to
make a' speech. He began with.the
remark that at no time in the present
discussion .hat ! he Invaded the bounds
of propriety ; neither had ho intruded
any question for debate. .Ho dis
claimed the responsibility for -the in
troduction of the discussion of the
methods adopted by several southern
tales In the reconstruction of their
lebts. That subject had comp jnto
.he senate at the hands of his col-
eague He said ho would like another
If to review-his col-
ime , necessaryto -
eague's reply to his last speech. At
irosent he was speaking for another
) urpose. Mahone then proceeded
inbstantially as follows : "It hai been
stated here that I have been approach
ed by gentlemen on the other side in
reference to my vote on the organize-
.ion of the senate. I want to say
lore , as I have sria before , that no
one on either side of the senate has
ever approached mo on the subject ,
shall not , unless compelled to do BO ,
repeat conversations th&t I have had
with different people , but I do say ,
that no senator ever came to mo with
an improper proposal. That I was
asked my opinion and desire in regarc
to the organization of the senate , is
true , though , whether those who con
sulted me carae from the republican
or any other caucus , I nerer stoppeo
to ask. They came as gentlemen ; ]
Found them such , and so treated them.
My answer was to both sides alike I
isd no suggestions to make or favors
to ask. Then , as now , I expected to
bo in the senate to Tote as I pleased.
[ have no party , national or state ,
other than the readjneter party. ]
came tojrepresant my people. Whether
[ can cerro them bett on the republi
can side or on the democratic side , is
for mo to decide , and is not to be die
tated to me by sny caucus. I have
said hero that t intsnd to be the custo
dian of my own democracy. I do not
choose to debate the ground ; that
question is between me and those who
tent , me here. I am not a national
democrat ; it Is the last species to
which I would attach myself. The
constituency that sent rno here made
a party for themselves , and gained a
pjace at the ballot box. They refused
to recognize the democratic constitu
tion , and protested Against the democ
racy interfering with local politics In
g Virginia. What do I owe to either of
, e the great parties ? Certainly nothing
1 to that democratic party represented
by Birnum and hi * committee , In
whose actions I could find ample rea
son for resistance to the democracy. "
At this point he changed his tone ,
asif approaching the'jainpartof his
effort , and stated th'at he had early in
the day intended to rise to a question
of privilege. R-.ferenco had been
_ _ made to him from a aource ho could
Tnot have expected it. He then re-
-tl ! ; ' . " , - ltff'
viewed remarks of Mr. Rollins , made I
last Thursday , and quoted Mr. Hil1' .
inference in relation to the pur'In' *
of his vote , when ho said ' .1" tLn
democrats would have - , I ?
suggestion. "That -Pernod t ! } °
Mr. M-hone , " , - remnrk , " said
torpretations- - P1010 ° * two fn'
had been" " - elther that my vote
pnrch- t > arcb.od or tb.it it could bo
Bpr- -fled. I desiFe now to ask the
-j tor from Georgia if he intended
to convey any auch thing. "
As he paused , ha leansd forward
with both hands on his desk , and
looked directly at Mr. Hill. That
gentleman remained sitting , rocking
himeelt back and forth.
"I will answer you , " said he. "Go
on. "
"I am ready for an answtr now , "
said Mr. Mahono.
"I prefer you to finish first , " re
plied Mr. Hill.
"I have no more to say than to ask
tha question , " was Mr. Mahone's re
sponse. _ '
"When yon give np the floor"js id
Mr. Hill , -'I will answer you In full. "
Mr. Mahono then sat dowu , and Mr .
Hill , remarking that the floor was now
his , la his own right , and not by the
courtesy of the senator from Virginia ,
said that he did not think he misun-
stood the senator from New Hamp
shire when ho said the democrat ? felt
sore because they could not buy the
vote ot the senator from Virginia. Ho
did not pretend to eay that the vote
hid been or could be bought , "but , "
said he , turning towards Mahone , "I
deny that wj did buy your vote ; I
deny wo wanted to buy your vote ; I
deny wo would have bought it. We
would not have given a tig for your
vote. I make no charges , but yon
have asked lor "my opinion , and I can
give it to yoo . It you asked the
opinion of all who judge you , yon
would have a big job. "
Mr. Mahone i eplied : "The senator
has made use of language I referred
to , and ho knows what meaning he
intended to convey. I ask him cour
teously to answer. "
"I have answetei you in full , " ald
Mr. Hill , "and It will appaar on the
tha record. "
"But I don't consider it full , " was
the reply. Mr. Mahouu then straight
ened up his little body , and , raising
his band above hii head , brought his
forefinger before him , and indicating
Mr. Hill , said :
"Since the senator will not answer
directly I will give him a problem to
solve. If he did mean to say that my
vote had been or could have been
bought , he says what ii foul , untruth
ful and false , and is an unworthy ut
terance in any one short of a coward. "
Upon this the galleries cheered and
Mr. Kjllogg , who occupied the chair ,
could with difficulty restore order.
Mr. Hill arose and said ho had no
idea of insulting any one , particularly
any one whom ho was powerless to In
sult.
sult."What
"What do you mean by that ? "
came from a voice as sudden as a flash ,
and Don Cameron was seen standing ,
with flushed tace and clenched fist ,
glaring at Hill.
"I was addressing myself to the sen
ator from Virginia , " replied Mr. Hill ,
"and not to the senator from Penn
sylvania. "
The apparition of Senator Cameron
in this role caused general laughter ,
during which ne continued his threat
ening attitude and was heard t ?
mutter , "Don't you say that again. "
Mr. Hill said that ho considered
that he hai fully answered the ques
tion put to him. He was net to be
.bullied into saying anything more ;
ntituer did ho desire to bo hitmolf
cons.'dored in any aenao a bully.
TbiV1 closed the debate and the dif
ferent t motions of the senators all
over the chamber had a char ce to be
quieted during the voting ou Farley's
motion to proceed t o the considera
tion of executive business , and this
motien failing , at 4:30 : o'clock the
senate adjourned.

New York Dry Goods Market.
NEW YORK , April 13.
Dry Goods Business has been
quiet to-day. All branches of the
trade are unfavorable , the state of the
weather having deterred both whole
sale and retail buyers from.continuing
their operation. Orders by mall and
telegraph weie received to a fair ag
gregate amount by package houses ,
but personal selections were compara
tively light. Jobbing trade was very
quiet , not the lesat spirit having been

A Summer Siege.
Special Dispatch to The Ece.
WASHINGTON , April 13. Sanator
Johnson yesterday received a letter
from ex-Gor. Kemper , of Virginia , on
the subject cf the po.idmz question
in the senate. The concluding para
graph of the letter read as follows :
"IE the democrats of the senate
triumph , theu the democrats of Vir
ginia will triumph n xt November ,
but any step backward injw meana de
feat next fall. "
Senator Brown , of Georxi * , says
that efforts to inn fusion tickuta in the
southern states against the regular
democracy will have tha effect of unit
ing the latter and really strengthen
the southern democratic party. Ha
say * the independents of Gdorgia will
not ally tVems lrea with the republi
cans. Any move to win republican
success under the gulsa of fusion , or
so-called auti bourbon coalition , will
send nearly all the Georgia independ
ents back into the regular democratic
ranks.
A republican senator was asked
what the result wuuld be if the senate
waa lef t without a quorum. lie re
plied tint he did not bsliove that this
would occur , as many of the pairs were
made upon the condition ttiat the sen
ator remaining here might vote to
make a quorum ; "but , " ho
added , "if senators enough
should pair ar.dgo home to leave.the
senate without a quorum , the repub
licans would hve here senator *
enough to watch the proceedings and
adjourn from day to day. " He sup
posed the democrats would do like
wise. In any event , he believed the
session would continue through the
summer.
