Sp d l Tl pttch to Tni Bill
"WAsmkoTOK , March 28 , A greater
demand for admission to the galleries
of the sensto was never experienced
ban to-day. Every seat was taken
> efore 11 o'clock , and hundreds turned
away. The diplomatic galleries were
also crowded. Among those present
were Sir Edward Thornton , and oth
ers of the British legation. The ex
tra seats on the floor of the senate
were all occupied. Senator Mahone
entered tbe chamber while the journal
was being read. He took a seat
usually occupied by Senator Edmunds.
Ee held a lemon in his hand , which ,
whan he rose to speak , he laid on the
desk before him. He began hia ad
dress by an apology for coming before
the senate in BO conspicuous a posi
tion , and said , in explanation , that he
wai driven to it. He had been elect
ed to the senate to do the will of the
people of Yirgina , and he felt that
the spirit of the people of that state
inspired him to repel Jha attempt to
instruct onn of its seoatora. Of the
views now held by himself he ssid :
Virginia is no" longer contented to
feed on the husks of moulding senti
mentality ; they liked and approved
of the sentiments expressed by the
readjustee.
Mr. Mahone denied all knowledge
of any public exodos of readjustees ,
and supported , the denisl by the ac
cusation that there was no onanizi *
tlon of the readjusters until 1879and
no acknowledged democratic party in
the state until 1880.
Mr. Mahono characterized his col-
eagne's statement of the debt of Vir-
; inia , and the methods for its repudia-
, ion , an unjust attack on the honor
of tbe state , and on the part of. one
who should have defended her. The
readjuaters never repealed either one
of the refunding measures. One of
those measures wai repealed through
the leadership of the present lieuten
ant-governor , of Virginia , followed by
& crowd of so-called debt buyers. He
referred also to the breakers' bill ,
which wa ably supported by his col
league. He commended this bill to
the virtuous democrats of the senate ,
and asked them if they could ever
imagine a less undemocratic measure.
In reference to Senator Johnston's
calling The Eichmond Whig his
mouth-piece , Senator Mahono , said ,
"No one sposks for me ; I speak for
myself. "
Mr. Riddleberger sat in Senator
Slahone's seat , and when the speaker
called for quotations he handad them
to him from a file of documents ar
ranged in order en the desk. The
Whig article was handed to a messen
ger , who passed it to the clerkas Wire
ilio extracts from the pnblit acts of
Senators Johnston and Mahone , all of
which were read.
Mr. Mahone pointed out how close-
y allied they were in some thingfand
low inconsistent his colleague had
seen f torn time to time. He look up
the speech of Senator Johnston1 , and
referred to his having spoken of him ,
not rvs his colleague , but as a debt re-
pud iator. He ( Mahonp ) had tha ad-
rantsgo of his colleague. Said he ,
"If I take my colleague by his record ,
diminutive as it Is , I can show that he
does not know who sent him here , or
why he was tent. " Senator Mahone
read from the public record of Sena
tor Johnston what he called "actual
support. " He defined the differoncobe-
tween hia party and h ; colleague to
be that both sgreed to pay ell rear in
terest , bat that ho had determined to
pay all debts as well , while his col
league desired to repudiate one-half of
it. Moreover , he declared that no
two democrats in the senate had yet
agreed as to what amount of the debt
of the state might be paid. He asked
the senators of West Virginia lo show
what steps had been token to pay their
one-third share of the deficit of the
old state of Virginia. In repelling
the charge that his party were repudiators -
ators , he referred to the action as a
disagreeable duty on one side , and
an agreeable duty on the other. How
ever , he denied the charge , and added
that every mau in the Virginia assem
bly who voted for him for senator
gate an unqualified'vote for the Rid-
dleberger bill. Were those men dis
honorable ?
The conclusion of Mahono's , speech
was immediately followed by a motion
by Mr. Harris to ptoceed to ttie con
sideration of executive basinets. This
and several dilitory motions , including
one or two Jfor adjournment until an
early hour to-mornm , were made and
defeated.
At 4 p. m. on motion of Senalsr
Diwee. the senate adjourned until 12 ,
noon , to-morrow.
CAPITAL NOTES.
Bpeeul Dlstwtcbw to The Esa.
Considerable disappointment was
manifested in the senate yesterday
that no reply to Senator Mahone's
speech was made by the other side.
Republican senators were watm in
congratulation of Mahone's effort , and
his speech is generally commended ss a
personal explanation of an exponent
of the readjnster platform. Mr.
Johnston determined to take no no
tice of the speech yesterday , but it
waa said that Mr : Veorhees , of Indi
ans , will give an answer to some of the
points in the future.
The secretary of the treasury hes
directed a discontinuance of the coin
age of five-cent nickel coins.
WISDOM'S POLICY.
It is expected that the secretary ol
the treasury will , within a week or
two , make public the financial policy
of the new administration. It is Well
known that this matter has been un
der discussion for the past two or three
cabinet sessions , and there have been
several conferences between , the pro s-
Iff ;
ident and Secretary Windom The
great success achieved by Secretary
Sherman in h'u administration of the
treasury department very naturally
causes his successor to move cau
tiously in establishing his new policy.
It Is fair to presume that when he
Introdncts his policy it will meet with
the approval of the country , and it
will be successful.

Notes Prom a Progressive
Mining Camp in Wyoming.
Correspondence of Tni But.
CUMMINS , Wyo. , March 23. Since
m ? last our camp , of course , has made
little progress , except the coming in
of a few more miners and the influx
of some interested risitors. There
are quito a number of visitors coming
from Danver during this month , and
they sent out a reconnoitering party
to learn if the snow was deep on the
hills , BO they could see everything.
Tney found our hills bare , our weath
er balmy and our mines better than
anticipated , and returned to Denver
.with a favorable report.
Contracts hare been lot for twenty ,
five feet more on tbe Black Tail'and
twenty-five feet on the Bob Tail , both
owned by the Black Tail company of
Laramie and Denver.
A thirty-foot shaft and a thirty-foot
drift have just bon completed on the
Silver Prince , and a vary good milling
silver ore found la very large quanti
ties , the metal-bearing vein being not
less than fifty feet in width. There
has been more work done during the
,
* "
' "
past week than for some time , but no
great strike.
The mines are steadily improving ,
and it is probable wo shall bo one of
the steady , permanent camps thit
grow and strengthen with age , rather
than a mushroom camp that grows in
a night and withers in a day.
We are progressive in aoixe respects.
We have a school , a Sunday school
besides Sunday services , a reading
room , with tha popular magazines of
tLe day and metropolitan da lies. A
literary society , four saloons , a good
hotel and a fine building , four doc
tors , but not pretending to practice , it
is so healthy , two lawyers , two riotar-
ies , a justice of the peace , two hundred
and thirty-seven and some fractions
dogs , and a man from Pike county
Missouri.
We also have eleven rebels who talk
"gore , " but take a back seat in every
little camp skirmish.

good , and the Big Laramie river with
numerous tributaries , give an unfail

In five-miles of camp , and extending

So our supply of lumber for many

date properties in anticipation of
spring work , and taking everything
into consideration onr camp is look

of numerous youn"g "ladies" ( J ) will
bring jealousies and the inevitable
"gun. "
Everything has to.have a beginning ,
and it was feared it would be neces
sary to shoot some one to start a grave
yard , but the old man with a scythe
came after an infant and the necnai-
ty passed , greatly to everyone's relief.
If we had no mines here this would
ba a fine summer resort for pleasure-
seekers or invalids. Our clear , pure
water , our high dry .atmosphere and
the beautiful mountain scenery make
a combination unsurprised. looking
up onr valley the river comes winding
down , shooting to one eide or the
other to avoid some foot hill that has
been thrown or has had a slide down
the mountain. In places it seums to
have cut into the solid hill an d _ forced
its way through the everlasting rock.
TJho rive ; , lined with cottonwoods
and willows , bes a background of
wood covered with mountains , and in
the distance the Snowy range , seen
through a mist of snowy clouds , gives
our mountains a grandeur which can
be fully appreciated by many of us
who havejbeen brought up with views
only of a limitless expanse of prairie.
Come out and BJ us , Mr. Editor ,
and expand your lungs with our
mountain air. X.

IOWA. QIBLS
THEY WANT PROTECTION FBOM THE
BURM.US FEMALES OF TUB EAST.
Iowa is one of the twenty-three
states of the union in which the mas
culine sex predominates , the late cen
sus showing an excess of ED alt a of two
and a tentu per cant. This informa
tion has excited the press of the state
; o unite in a cordial invitation to the
surplus females of tie eastern
states to emigrate to Iiwa , The re
suit , isno Jlttle indrnnatiua oua > th
part'of rthoseTowawIiaa5deiis w io are
still in the market despite the male
iurplu ? . A..letter . published from a
Massachusetts girHoscribing thu only
dud of husband which vuuld be ac
ceptable in that quarter was too much
For ono of the Iowa sisterhood , who
sent the foll'iwing vigorous protest to
the editor of The Iowa State Regis
ter :
"I wish to "apeak my piece" on the
subject of "surplus" .men in Iowa.
There is another side lo the subject
one that interests the single women
who are hero now , Wo are decidedly
opposed to having 50,000 women , or
even 10,000 , sent in here to take the
fair men'who ' carrbsindoced to many.
I have not bad a "bsau" this winter ,
and am not willing to share my chance
for a husband with those of Msesachu-
setts ladle ( it is hopoloes enough now )
for a new face always attracts atten
tion , even i ! not so pretty as the old
one. I think my Iowa man answer
ing the description given by A , .etc. ,
of Boston , can very easily find an
Iowa girl aa pretty , neat and good-
n-.tured as those Ma-achusetts : old
maids. We are not so particular about
height , weight or calor of hair , so they
hare the otner accomplishments.
You need not pass this by ss an
'idle tla" or the "growl" of some ill-
natured , "flat , nosed , " red-headed "old
maid. " I am a little past twenty-two ,
and , to put it modestly , nice looking ;
can sew , knit , cook , teach-ec'iool.play.
the organ , etc. , and am willing to do
my part toward aapportiog 'a 'Husband. '
Where I live there are four marriage
able men , two widowers , one 50 years
old and smoked , the other 30. and
drinks whisky ; two. bachelors , one
about forty Or - fifty , with tw o
old maid sisters to. aoppoBt-
and the other nof _ , intelligent
enough to be a republican in fact , he
is a whining , ho.wling greenbacker ,
who thinks everything i > soingtd
smash , and won't marry. Do take ,
pity on the single Iowa girls and got a
"surplus1 male" for each oneTof ; us be
fore sending to Massacusstts , and we
will ever remember > you with grateful
Hearts , and have those' ' same roenaub-
