BpecUl Dispatch to Tni Bn.
WASHINGTON , April 14 Mesara.
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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

JOHN BROWN'S FAMILY.
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.
