Mahone and Ben Hill were among the very few senators present when the body was called to order to-day , aud with Don Cameron , who came shortly after , were parties to a general inter change of good natnred comment of the scene yesterday. Considerable time was wasted in waiting for a quoi ram , but finally an ineffectual motion to proceed to the consideration of executive - ecutive business , developed the fact that forty-one senators were present to vote. Mr. Morgan , of Alabama , then took the floor and began a long speech. He commenced with a detailed review of nearly every speech made on the republican - publican lde , evldentally taking liter ally the words of Mr. Davis , when he aid : "Let the debate go on. " He thought things had reached that condition - dition in the senate when a man could not debate without a pair of derrln- gers in his pocket. He fully took up the issue , and said that the whole object - ject ef the present republican moved mant was to break up the democratic c party , and dilated upon it at length r He next proceeded to discuss the issue p of free ballet and fair count He t talked for nearly three hours , without 1 saying anything of novel o ; peculiar a Interest. 1 Mr. Brownof , Georgia , followed Mr. tl : if organ. Among other things he spoke b Df the recent remarks of Mr. Hswloy , a my'denied that univureal suffrage was d .he law of the world. It was not sven the law of any civilized country f the world. In the south , any mau lad the right to vote , but not in Mas- laohnsetti , Connecticut or Rhode 1s- and. He then went into a review of he suffrage laws of those states. The < Haisachusetts senator repeatedly tried o interrupt the tpeaker , but ho do slinedto yield the floor until ho might lave finished his speech. He took up .be doctrine of state rights as laid Jown by tke New England senators , Hid aeaerted that no state interposed more bars to legal suffrage tban Mas iachnsett . Should hsr raios [ la , he said , eight-tenths of the solored voters of that state would be leprivod of their suffrage. In sup port of the idea of cohoaiveness of ixrcntive patronage , the spotker quo- ed figurea to show how few ofh'ce- lolders in the public departments ame from Georgia , and argued that .he party could not be kept together irlthont patronage , and that the re n publican party in Georgia waa being tl Frlped out by northern injustice. The tlh ndependent democrats of the eonth Tere not on the road to recruit the i > lepleted ranks of the republican larty. Now and then an ambitious fa foung man , or office seeker , might go . 3ver to them , but when the watchword of reconstruction should be flaunted , thinking young men of tha south would hold rioof. The idea of republicanism , that the south still standa as it stood U the cluse of the war , is preposter ous. The society of the south could uot be disorganized. The mistake would readily be recognized if the re publicans hoped that southern inde pendents would follow the leadership of the senator from Virginia. He was not sure but what it might uot be come necessary to do no to thwart the republican purpose in Virginia , In de fense of the threatened reconstruction of society In that state. Mr. Hoar followed in a speech In condemnation of such a threat to overcome the just majority of voters of Virginia or any other state. Mr. Brown made a brief reply , which ho concluded by saying that when the senator from Massachusetts saw fit to explain his recent imputations - ' tions ta to treason and revolution on the part of the democrats' position in the senate , he would have a few worda to say in reply. Mr Hoar then undertook to cor rect some statements of Brown con cerning tha number of disfranchised adults m Massachusetts , and a discus sion followed , in which Brown , Butler and Call confronted Mr. Hoar and which was conducted tnuro to the amusement than to the edification of those who heard it. Mr. Hawley also had a word to say for Connecticut. He claimed that no one of ordinary intelligence need bo ' deprived of his vote in that state. He I had never known of a man there to be deprived of his vote by violence or to be comoelled to vote contrary to the dictates of his owe conscience. At a tew minutes before six o'clock the senate adjourned till 12 o'clock Mon day. CAPITAL NOTES- NOMINATIONS. Special Dlap tcb to Tux Bn WASIIINOTON , April 14 10 p. m.

Fullerton , receiver of public mon- ys , at Roseburg , Oregon ; William Lltcnen , of Ohio , register in the iand office at Mitchell , Dak. ; Cortez Fes- senden , of Michigansurveyor general of the United States district of Da kota. SecreUry Windom continues to re ceive from holders of G per cents no tice of their willingness to accept stamped 3 per cents. A large nnm-1 ber of such notices came this mornj j iug , besides numerous others by tele- | graph. The democrats are bound to stick where they are. It is for the republicans - ' cans to aay when the deadlock shall be I broken. They say : "We are ready to | attend to the business fir which the ' session was called , and after that is ' finished , to renew the fight over the organization. " They believe the re publicans must give way soon , as the pressure of important business before the senate ia so great that they must yield. Logan said the republicans were bound to stick till the democrats yield to the right of the majority to organize. Attorney-General McVoagh , who has been attorney for the cotton tie men against the hoop iron manufac turers , has withdrawn his appearance from the case , and will probably be consulted when the case now before Secretary Windom comes up. Revenue receipts to-day , $370,005 ; customs , 3108,254 Secretary Hunt visited the navy yard yesterday afternoon , and was enthusiastically received by officers and men. An order has been issued by the postofficp department declaring all publicationa that violate the interna tional copyright laws shall be regarded as unmailable matter. The order was called out by a certain Canadian pub lication. The manufacturers and dealers in butter are on the war path in consequence quence of a shipment of oleomarga rine , invoiced as butter , from this country i , to Canada and Europe. The secretary i of the treasury had referred to 1 the attorney-general the question as i to whether a collector of customs haa 1 the power to examine packages invoiced i as butter and offe : red for shipment to polnta outside of the Uni ted t Statea. The question is consid ered of great importance and the de cision of the attorney-general is awaited with interest. Inquiry among senators to day aa to t their opinions of the letter of Sen ator Davis , of Illinois , ou the political situation revealed the fact that but f few had read it. Thoeo who had , t : both republicans and democrats , held that It was ridiculous to talk of dia- : t banding the existing partlea , the d democrats believing they were yet to come into their inheritance , and the republicans belleviog that the proa- perity of the country dependa upon the continuance of their organization , ) rhe truth is the Davla letter did not : itiract much attention at the capltol. The only criticism upon it waa that : ho letter was fjnat what might have seen expected from an independent , md especially the moat paointuent in- lent in the land , Who , if a new party vaa formed out of old ones , would irobably be the presidential c.uidi- late of the new party. SITTING BULL COMINO. Maj. Brotherton telegraphs from > V > rt Buford , dated Aptil 9 , a confir- natien of the return of Sitting Bull ind camp to surrender. The Indians in thb 7th instant were near Poplar iver , destitute , broken down and > ootaore. Lieut. Robinson wi s to noothuin with provisions. WltESTLINO WITH T11E DEADLOCK. Another republican caucus is in the iear. prospectiw JTt jn y be hoU ay"fhorningu. It is now consIderSc ! tot unlikely that the caucus may de- ido to hold one or more executive easlons , but it will be with the fixed inrposo of holding the business eu- Irely in republican handa. The firat tep in the natural and proper order if business will bo to refer pending ) lominationa. Then the committees rill report back such as they deem mportant : to have confirmed , and , as his proceeding will be entirely regn- ar , the democrats cannot object to it. iVhon the confirmations agreed upon y the republicans shall have been llsposed of thay can resume the pres- nit fight and slick to It aa long as .hey please. The rnmor that Senator Conkllng will make a speech in open senate , lext week , declaring war against the idmlulstration , is generally discredit- : id , and by hia intimate friends abio- ' ntely denied. : Dr. DeSchmidt , district chemut , reports to the health officer that at the request of the latter ho carefully examined microscopically and other iriie , different samples of pork meat , 235 in number from 65 different hogs , with respect to the presence or ab sence of paraaitea dangerous to human : hi-alth and that these samples were found to be free from dangerous paraaitea or larvae thereof. The scene lu the aenata yesterday afternoon between Senators Hill and Mahone , was the absorbing topic of conversation laat evening. The opin ion prevails that the little general is itching for a fight , but the giod- humored manner with which Hl'l ' looks upon thu passage precludes all conjecture in that direction. No fur ther reference to this feature of debate c is expected in the senate. Private Dnlzell n w seeks notoriety as the first Ohio man to decline a pub lic office. Recently the private was appointed to an $1800 clerkship in the pension office. Yesterday he sent a long lottoto the secretary of the ntarior-d clinmg the offica. W. E Pennywltt , who has lately been In charge of the railway division of the 10th census , to-day resigned his position , as ho leaves for Kentucky to-morrow to take charge of a repub lican newspaper which he has recently purchased. Ex-Representative Price , of Iowa , who has been nominated as Indian commissioner , arrived hero last night. Ho cannot sign official papers until he is confirmed , but he will at once begin to direct tlio affairs of the office he is to fill. The mission to Brazil was offered to rx Senator Bruce , of Mississippi , but he declined , partly because he would not be willing to take his family to that country and because the climate 8 was subject to epidemic diseases , such as yellow fever , etc. A number of appointments to im portant federal positions have been determined upon , which yet remain secr.-t between the appointing power and the parties chosen for the offices , because the parties have requested the president not to send in their name * while the senate dead-lock con tinues.

WIFE ANI * DADUUTEK Or TI1E HERO STKUCOIJHO AGAINST POVERTY. San Jose ( Cal. ) Mercury , JUrch 30. There reside on a small farm in the foothills near Saratoga , in this county , the nidow and daughter of one of the moat noted men of modern history John Brown , the martyr champion of humau treedom , who lost his life in the.fall of 1859 through hia sturdy and pioui zeal in behalf of the slaves whom he sought tw liberate. The widow is about 70 years of age , the burden of whose support falls upon the daughter , a worthy and cultured lady , who ia illy fitted for the rough farm work which ahe is obliged to per form. But ahe performs her alloted tasks uncomplainingly , and both mother and daughter would be reason ably happy and contented , aa well as independent , but for the shadow of debt that hangs over their little hume and the extra efforts they are com pelled to put forth to meet their monthly Interest. Their home Is mort gaged f er S10CO , which , it would seem to us , there ought to be noble patriot hearts enough in this state to assume and pay off , and thereby leave these worthy woaien freufrom the embarass- menti which now weigh them down. It should ba dona for his aake the grand old man of Kansas fame , the hero-martyr for freedom , who died that this Union , purified of the foul itain of human slavery , might live ! It has been suggested that the good people of San Jose get them up aome sort of a benefit to help them oat of their embarrassment. In the mean time there may be aome nable soula who read theae lines who would be made richer in their own llvea by the performance of another generous act , and who would contribute to their re lief. Any monien forwarded to the Bank of S n Joae or to the First Na tional Gold Bank of this city , or to this office , will be religiously applied to the object intended , and the do nor' * namea will evermore bo en shrined in the gratetal remembrance nf the widow and daughter of John Brown , whose Body lie moldeting In the grate , But whose soul goea marching on.
