The Senate session opened at 11 o’clock with a speech hy the venerable Senator trout Vermont, Mr. Morrill, who said the House had promptly re sponded to the President'* message and hud supplemented it whh an emergency tariff revenue bill. The free silver substitute for the bond bill, he said, may not be the tirst time when bread hud been asked for that, a stone lias been presented, tint it in the tirst time that a commit tee of the Sen ate seems to have perpetrated a prac tical joke almost good enough for tlie clown of liurnum's menagerie. The Senator thougut that a deficient national income should not lie less swiftly remedied than excess, saying: “The present administration, how ever, exhibits a bashful ditlidence uIs,ni acknowledging any deficiency of revenue derived from a tariff lie reaved of its parents in early infancy, but with their hands behind them they may <jn etly take whaMver money ton grass may place in their hands for the treasury, where the outflow of gold has been so swiff as to make even the heads of the kcep*radia*y." Iteferriug to the assertion tha.

Mr. Morrill then dwelt upon the In jury that would be done the Smith If the world had the opportunity to buy its cotton crop with cheap sliver. He enlarged on the advantages of protec tion and controverted the argument that tlierii was a gold standard party in America. The RcnubHcan party intended to retain both metals in cir culation and “the election," said Mr. Morrill, “of Republican governors In such states as New Jersey, Maryland and Kentucky indi cates that the old Whig states of the South are wheeling into line with their former position on ipies tions which concern their industrial prosperity. The Republican purty. at Its curliest opportunity, will seek the co-operation of leading nations in the coinage of silver and will meantime aim to maintain the integrity of busi ness affairs and the honor of the coun try by the maintenance of every dollar or looney in the hands of the people, without depreciation, ut its full face value.” BAYARD CENSURED Keputiin-se llouss I oinnilltsi* Mroihsrs Krrlilr to llr|mrt A Mir lout I yrly Washington.

I. —When the mints convened to-day It was technic ally a continuance of tha session of Thureday, as a recess was taken last night. There was a meager attend ance. Mr. Allen of Nebraska. Voptb | list, called attention to the absence of ' a quorum. Tills necessitated a roll call, which brought senators from committee and cloak rooms and dis closed forty-six senators present, one more than a quorum. Mr. Vilas then addressed the senate on the silver substitute for the bouse bond bill. "It will doubtless never be neees* | sary to discuss this bill as It came from the House,” said Mr. Vilas, "bill it may be said that. It deserved Its futc nti angled by sliver It was but the fraudulent pretext of response to the exigency which it professed to meet, and to the reasonable suggestions of the (’resident, which It denied, while It avowed their wisdom. With the ex I ception of provision for emergency cer tificate*— which ought to stand In the permanent statute*—the House bill contained not h lug commendable,every thing else was but mercenary legisla tion not demanded by our financial conditions. And so again, as a year ago, partisanship or Imbecility, or both, has stricken < ongress with paralysis, and the rescue of business prosperity from it* recurring perl) ha* been thrown upon the executive. It is almost as fortuitous as fortunate that an old statute has remained un touched during our financial madness, which can again serve the turn. “II, lie continued, trustee agent in private affair* should so deny duty and abuse trust a*< ongres* did a year ago anti nov/ repeats, no judg ment in their condemnation would be too severe. Over fdi.OOO,000 were then thrown away in the reckless rage of partisanship, and the injury that must now be sustained by the people for the same reason is probably not less, although the exact measure of it is not quite so clear. Then Republican management was able to show pre tense that but for the Populists and the free sllverites there might have been relief. Hut the pretense was not sincere, and this bill ha* now un masked the fact by denylug. under Re publican dictations, the only remedy available to the increased mischief,” Mr. Vilas declared that the bill, a* it came from toe House, was a sham and a fraud. Then he proceeded to show that the Henute substitute and the amendment* that iiad been pro posed made It worse than the original mean ure. “The best hope is,” said be, “that both will shrivel end die in the desert air of the henate.” He had hitherto concluded that, it was the wisest pol icy to remain silent and allow the sil ver advocates to <lo the talking, as they were in the habit of doing at the ratio of about Hi to 1, but be had heard it asked why the opponent* of free coinage did not justify their faith in debate. He then discussed the free coinage provision of the pending hill, declar ing that the financial distress an/1 public misery for the past three year* were the direct products of the efforts to force silver upon the country, “And,” he said, “our course of relief is a return to sound principles.” He believed every step of the fatal progress in error had been opposed to the cardinal doctrines on which the Iiemocratic party is based, and by which it must abide or sink in re creancy while the spirit flics from our institutions of liberty. He divided the silver advocates into three classes: First, those who were interested in silver milling; second, heavy debtors, and third, those who believ ■ in the principle of bimetallism. The first class were few in number, but wonderfully potential. The sec ond might “deceive sympathy if they did not show it.” The third class Is regarded as honestly mistaken, and to them he addressed Ids urguiucut. •The veriest despot of story, the 'grand khan' of Tartary, the great mogul, never had more submissive subjects than the silver king of the Rockies; nor was ever tyrant more pitiless or exuctiug No indeiieiideucu of thought or speech Ih tolerated there.
