Senator Hampton was ready now ,
and took the floor for a speech. lie
desired to call attention to a state
ment by Hr. Mahono In relation to
tate debt of South Carolina. When
ep.ld it had bean run up in the ware
o $24,000,000 , the speaker said the
debt had reached that figure , not
hrough the induenca of the true
; ebt of the state , but through the re-
mblicans and carpet- big ers. He
lenied also that the democrats of the
late repudiated any part of this debt.
Senator Butler supplemented thia
itateinont with the declaration that
ho only act of repudiation over con-
ummated in the state was by republi
cans , and when under entire republi
can state government.
Senator Hampton continued to do
me his position in the' present
anomalous character of the senate ; ho
denied that he was in the .minority ,
le denied that there was a majority
on either slda under the constitution.
The position wai brought about by the
unjust coalition of a corrupt party ,
la suggei-tsd the idaa of a special
committee to find out if any sent in
he senate WAS controlled by profFera
of position or place. Ho referred to
ho magnanimity of the democratic
majority in refusing to unseat unlaw-
"ully eleckd republicans.
Senator Jonas ( La. ) desired to dis
claim any share in the magnanimity
referred to. Ho wanted no sympathy
' his state , particularly those who
refused to help to npht the wrong
dona here.
Sir. Groomo took the floor , and
made a speech disclaiming a majority
of republicans in the senate , and no-
inisg the position of the so-call > d
democratic minority. Ho denied the
right cf the republicans to turn out
efficient officers of the senate in the
session called for the transaction t > f
executive business alone. His speech
concluded with a motion to proceed
to the consideration of executive bu
siness ayes 27 , nays 28.
Mr. Brown ( Ga ) took the floor and
referred to the necessity of replying
to Eomo points in Senator j&lahino's
peech without having that remarkable
document before him. Ho spoke par
ticularly of the charge of considera
tion made against him. On the sub
ject of pro slavery and state sovereignty
eignty tha speaker admitted the
inconsistency of abiding by the results
of the war. Ho went into the late
contest deliberately as a thorough
rebel , believing ho was right , and lie
had no regrets.
At 3:30p. : m. . Mr. Brown corcludtd
his speech In reply to Muhone , and
Mr. Harris at once n oved that the
aenato go into executive session. This
was lost , and Mr. Beck made a good
humored speech , prefacing his remarks
by a motion to refer the reaolu ion of
of the senator from Massachusetts tea
a committee on diseases.
This was declared out of order , a
motion to indefinitely postpone taking
precedence.
Mr. Beck spoke in regard to the
records of Biddlebeigar and of John
ston , candidates for the clerkship. Ho
did not deairo to put in a man as chief
clerk who had avowedly handled
money for Gen.Vr.shburn in Minnesota
seta for election purpose. ] .
Senators Eawloy and McMillan re
minded Senator Beck that aU the
charges agaiuct Gen. Washburn had
fallen to the ground.
Mr. Beck rejoined that ha had said
nothing against Gen. Waahburn. Butte
to see whether Johnston waa the one
who bandied his money for election
eering purposes vras well worth looking
into. For this purpose he moved to
adjjurn. This also was lost by a vote
25 to 27.
Senator Kellogg being awarded the
flier , ho took exception to the remirk
of his colleague , Senator Jonas , who
had inferred , earlier in the day , thai
the speaker was not elected senator
from Louisiana. Ho referred to a
democratic editorial in a Louisiana
paper , which declared Senator Jonas
had done nothing in tha tenatc fo :
two year ? , nut they nnseited hia col-
leage and had nirdo no record that
would lead any ono to think thai the
democrats of Louisiana had any rep
resentative in the senate. He had
hoped that his colleage would have
brought up the question of repudia
tion of the debt of their state. On
that question he was anxious to meet
him or any ohpr senator , and would
try and show just where the bkmo for
Louisiana's disgraceful financial action
in times past rightfully belonged. He
might yet find it necessary to enter
into the question of his lawful elec
i tion to the senate , if his colleage de
sired him to reopen the bloody record
made by the demccrata'in wresting
rightful majorities from the republi
cans in their shte. Such rec
ords alone enabled his colleague
to say that ho alone represented tha
state upon the senate floor. The
present question was not on a simple
choice of senate officers , but whether
one who represented a now departure
in the Eouth should be allowed to casl
his vote whcro it would bring honor
to the nation , and where it would ex
emplify the idea of a full vote , a free
bcjlot and a fair count. The speaker ,
in the course of his longtpeech , made
the assertion tba
> the Hucholls gov
ernment , in Louiaana , owed its or-
iatance to theLouisana lottery , direct
ly by a man who fired on Sumtor ,
and another confederate leader , who
becstae famous by reasons of hia raids
in the Shenandoah valley , and this
was another reason why he was sajd
pot to reptesert the state that sent
him.
Senafor Jonas thought it was un
necessary to enter into discussion
with his oalleague as to the evidence
referred to. The story is an eli one
in bqth bquus of congree ? , and all
knew of the infamom history of the
state while his colleague was acting
as governor. Any evidence to the
contrary was a slander on the people.
He asserted that the democrats , over
since the reconstruction , had a ma
jority in-the state , and had been on-
.Mod to its offices. Time , and time
again It had attlen from thorn. His
collesgua wea elected by a mob , not
at all l ke a properly constituted
legislature cf the stale. The speaker
did not belitve Here was a man in
the slate who conscientiously believed
that bin colleague was rightfully
elected. He that claimed Liusiana
elections were free and as fair as in
any state of the union. A lirge pro' '
portion of Ihob'acka of Laueiani stand I
willingly with the democrats , aud to
t large extent embraced the demo
cratic party. They may hare been
misled for a lime , but have now
awakened from darkness. Senator

leadership , wi > h fraud and malfeas
ance , and warned senators from be
lieving the empty twaddle of his col
league , who does not himself believe
ialf of what he sajs.
Senator Kellogg again rosa and de
nied that his colleague , or any senator
bad shown that ono dollar had been
issued under hb adtaielstration for
the payment of the debt of the state.
He offered te give way for any one
who could. No one embraced the op
portunity , and ha proceeded to hurl
back tha charges of financial malfeasance -
sanco to the democrats themselves.
He gave .notice thai at eomo future
time ho would talk about the manner
of conducting elections in Louisiana.
At G o'clock the aenato adjourned
until noon to morrow.

omfiald passed a restless night , party -
y because of the pain of the gout.
The paroxysms of asthma are less
ever but frequent. His doctor
ays an unusually severe cough baa
irevented the patient from rest , which
necessary to overcome weakness
produced by long confinement. He
loea not conceal the fact that there
s considerable danger , and when his
resit ago ia onaldered , the prospect
of hu recovery seems all the more
doubtful.
LATER Beaconsfield has suffered a
dangerous relapse , and is now lying
Tory low aud unconscious. A. consulta-
; lon baa been called of all the eminent
physicians in London.
LoNDON/iHarch 30 1 a. m. Lord
Barrington , who is a constant attend
ant at the bedside of the ex-premier ,
announced at 7 o'clock last evening
that , while the condition of Lord
Beaconsfield was still very grave , and
caused great anxiety , he waa at that
moment slightly better. The consul
tation of physicians led to a slight
change in treatment , which waa rec
ommended by the celebrated Dr.
Quaia , c f Harley street , and assented
to by the other doctors. Thia change
appeared to give sime relief to the pa
tient. At his residence were a num
her of friends , and his former private
secretary and intimate associate , Lord
Law ton. Mr. Montague Cory waa at
his bedside all day long. A continu
ous stream of callers have left their
cards. The residence of Lord Bea
consfield is in the .quiec crescent
which lies back of White Hall palace ,
and of which Scotland yard forms the
eastern side. The house is email and
unpretending , and is one of the old-
fashioned dwellings which still remain
in that part of London. Very near
the front of the house stands the statue
of James I. , erected on the very spot
where the head of his father , Charles
I. , fell when severed from his body by
the axe of the executioner.
LATER A great sensation has been
caused over Lord Beaconfield's illnecs ,
and at midnight it waa reported that
he was dead. This created great ex
citement in Fleet sheet , and The
Times has a biography of the noble
earl in type , but was obliged to with
hold it , as the patient's condition.was
slightly improved. During the night
the'-'queon sent frequently to inquire
after hia condition. Mr. Gladstone
walked to the residence if Lord
Beaconsfield , and made special efforts
to know the state of the patient.
TUB LAVT50N-LABOUCHEKE SUIT.
Special dispatch to The Bee.
LONDON , March 29 4 p. m.
The Lawson-Labonchese libel suit
came to a head yesterday. Sir Stan
ley Giffbrd , counsel for the prosecu
tion in the cise , in hia speech referred
to an incident in Mr. Gladstone's al
leged correspondence with Freeceand
maintained that it would not bear the
construction which the defense had
attempted to put upon it , and said
that in his testimony with respect to
it from the witness stand last
week , Mr , Gladstone had
lied. Counsel further said that ha
waa willing to admit that one of the
articles complained of , as published
in The Telegraph , waa somewhat
coarse , but grow out of the exciting
character of the time in which it waa
written.
The summing up address ol Lord
Chief Justice Coleridge occupied
nearly four hours. The case then
wont to the jury , who remained clos
eted nearly an hour and a half , and
then sent word to the court that there
was no possibility of their agreeing
upon a verdict ; that they were nearly
cq tally divided , and that neither side
was disposed to yield. It ia under
stood the cua will probibly bo tried
again.

One instance of how men become rich
In this speculation occurred in Oil
City. Two brothers by the name of
Goettle , in 1866-7 , were bootblacks
around the streets of tha oil tonn.
They made a good dal of
money for boys , and saved it.
When they had a few hundreds
saved they took a flyer on the market.
They were successful and doubled
success still followed theoi , and to
day they are among tha wealthiest
and meat successful speculators in the
region. The nvynibcent generosity
cf oil men ia well known. A poor
and seedy woman has of'en had thou
sands of dollars raised for hoc among
a crowd of cil men , and in a few min
utes abe waa raised from
poverty to opulence. They
spend money like water , and
no towns iu the country will ihsw bet
ter dressed men and women than
these. They all almost univer
sally wear diamonds upon their shirt
bosoms , which in many cases they are
forced to pawn for necessities before
they have become even accustomed to
them. Speculation is the life blcod
of Oil City. When the market fa

their husbands.
Soma time sgo , in one of these ex
changes , the gallery waa filled to nver-

THE IOWA HOG
HE HAS AN UNCTUOU3 MEZZO SOPJlANO
VOICE AND KENNAISSANCE ARCHITEC
TURE.
8oux ! City Journal.
Iowa is bounded on the north by
an imaginary line , on the east by the
Mississippi river , on the south by
another imaginary line , and on the
west by the Missouri river. This de
scribed plat of ground contains 55,045
square miles , or 35,228,800 acres.
Barrinp the ground occnp'ed ' by our
numerous towns and cities , the water
courses and a few lakes , every equara
foot of this vait area is tillable , and
responds to the industry of the farm
er with abundant cropz. Anything
can bo raised in Iowa. Corn with
out going any furthar , corn suggests
hcga. There ia an affinity between
hogs and corn. And speaking of hoga ,
it can safely bo said that more
hogs are raised to the aero
in Iowa than in any other state in the
Union , and it would not bo out of
bruads to venture the assertion that
no other 35,128,800 acres in the world
raises as many hoga or as good onea.
To an Irishman a pig is a luxury ; to
an lowdn a hog is a bonanza , and car
ries around en his four feet the possi
bilities of every luxury. Tnero is
richness in him from his nose to the
curl of hia tail. Hia bristles make
brushes ; his bide , loathcr ; his aides ,
bacon ; hia quarters , shoulders and
harm ; hia fat , lard , butterine , oleo
margarine , suine , wzgon greasa , e'c. ;
hia lean mekes eauasga ; and three
parts of him that beat guino as a far
tilizer. But without enumerating the
advantages of the hog dead , it ia
enough to say that the Iow hog is
the living , gruntirg embodiment
of all the possibilities there
&ro in the hrg of the most excellent
type. Ha ia a clean-looking brntp , a
fat-looking brute , the curl of his tail
Is tighter than that ( f other hogj , and
instead of a fahetto squeal common to
ordinary hogs , b $ has an unctuous
mezzo-Boprano or a choke-fat contralto
tone of voice. The Jbwa hog is bolter
in every respect than any other hog
known to natural history. He can gel
fatter than any other b'came there is
more and beltjr osrn hero than else
where in the world ; he is freer from
disease , because the atmcaphere la
dryer atd the soil of the country
less apt to retain moisture than the
olay bjiik of the Missouri or the bog
gy prairies of Illinois , f r instance.
