The Marriage of Little Mahone and Hoar. Where the Flowers Came From to Grace the Feast. Secretary Windom Makes a Gigantic CalL SENATE. Special Dltpatch to "Is * Bi * . WASHINGTON , April 11. No caucus w a hold by either eldp" of the senate thia morning. Mr. Edmunds occupied his seat for the first time In three weeks. On a motion to proceed te the con sideration of executive business , the vote wai , ayes 19 , nays 20 , juit a quorum voting. At 12:25 p. m. Mr. Call , of Florida , resumed the floor to proceed with the speech begt > n by him last Thursday. Ho took up the original point that it wu bad taite for the Massachusetts senator to attack the free ballot in the south when their own conitito- tions disfranchised so many. He was continually interrupted by Messrs. Hosr and Dawes , who tried to put their suffrage laws In a right light. He also cited the acknowledged inequality of legulitiive representation In Con necticut , and the circumstances in Vermont and Rhode Island as incon sistent with the present issue of free ballot. Mr. Call spoke for justice an honr. honr.Mr. Mr. Dawes , In replying , alleged that the only posilblo objectionable quali fication in his state was that each voter should read and writa. Her schools were free and we could learn if we wished , and new comer ? , being obliged to remain a year before voting , had ample time to avail themselves of this requlrament. Mr. Camden followed , reading his speech in an almost inaudible tone , iu defense of West Virginia's position in rcl&tion to the public debt of the old state of Virginia. He endeavored to show that West Virginia had tried to do her share in the matter. Mr. Cneron followed Mr. Camden in a short speech , referring to Mr. Back's recent remarks on tbo fai.ure of the Pennsylvania legislature to en dorse the action of its cenators , and read a resolution passed by the Penn sylvania legislature in contradiction of the failure. Mr. Beck. replied that he recog nized the power to have accomplished by telegram what he had thought per sonal presence would have been nec essary. Mr. Vest then took the floor. He denied Mr. Sherman's statement that the will of the majority was supreme. The minority had more rights than the right of debate , and this one meant to exercise them , If it took un til December. He referred also to the republican coalition with tbo ro- adjabterf , and expressed especial won der that the late secretary of the treasury should support these , for sympathy with whom , he threatened to remove the government officials at Petersburg , V . , during his term of office. The ipealcer read the corres pondence between Commissioner Ilium and'J. H. Van Anken , tobacco inspector tPetersburg , V . , in which Van Ankeu'a sympathizing with the osdjusters is referred to as criminal and dangerous , to which Van Anken eplicd with an expiation which the , hen sbcreUry of the treasury finally oneidered satisfactory. Mr. Vest continued that a voice rom heaven , or some other direction , muit have come to the senator from Ohio rte canie him to now with to place In office' inch a "great" readjast- or aa Rlddlebsrger. ' 'Such' amorous dalliance has'never been seen ou'eide of the bridal chamber , where Hymen drawi the mystic veil. Republicans seem able to swallow repudiationtike down elimination and embark on re adjustment , if we will only give them a free ballot and an honest count. The main issue of the last.campaign -was the solid § outhnd the kulclax , oonpled with Hancock , and free ballot and fair count , coupled with GarCeld. The senator frem Virginia then made his choice. Why did he not then de clare in favor of fair count ? The sen ator from Ohio said he ( Mshone ) had little platform of his own. Tha president of the United States about eighteen months aio siid he would never shake hands with a rebel who had not openly repented. The sena tor from Virginia had said here open ly that he had no apology to make for hia part In the war , and yet ho full back into the amorous tmbraco oi the junior senator from Massachu setts , while the air was tilled with the xoma of rare exotics , aent from the executive conservatory to grace the marriage fewt. ( Loud laughter. ) Mr. Allison occupied a few mo menta clearing the skirts of the state of Iowa from the charge of repudia tion. tion.Mr. Mr. Beck announced that h ? in tended to make some remarks in the morning , and was awarded the floor.

RUSSIAN NAVAL AFFAIRS. A St. Petersburg correspondent saya It Is now probable that the grand duke , Constantine , brother of thelato cz r , and uncle of the present czar will resign the administration of Rus slan naval affairs tohis nephew , Grand Duke Alexia , second brother of the reigning cz r. The cbango is sup posed to indicate economy and reform in naval affairs , and abettor feeling between the families of Constantine and Alexis. It will be remembered that Constantine stantino , son of Grand Duke Niche las Constantlnovitcb , was recently placed under arrest by the order of the present czar. He had been exiled to Toer on account of his famous connec tion with a diamond scandal. Upon the assassination of the late czarhe re quested permission to return to St. Petersburg. The permission was re- fneod , but he returned nevertheless and was immediately arrested for dis obeying the czar's command.

Mr. Swan , the csktilo king , and Messrs. Keith and Van T siel , also well known cattle men , all oi Uhoy- eune , Wyoming Territory , are In the city for a few days , stopping at the Withnell. Mr. Swan U especially en gaged in looking after the thoniand or more hend of beeves which were driven from the Willow Springs dis tillery shed * by the present inundation. In coayorsatien Isst evening he stated that the cat tle that had not been shipped would doubtless be returned to the sheds by to-night , aa a large enough force will be put on to repair all damage by the flood aa fast as the waters subside. Referring to the general condition of cattle throughout Wyoming he stated that it was better than had ever before been known notwithstanding the sensational re ports in the Chicago papers. The entire loss throughout the terri tory would not , in his opinion , exceed five per cent. In many parts the cattle were now fat enough to ship , the grass during the winter having remained in excellent condition. There are about 450,000 head of cattle now under the charge of the cow-boys in the territory , and the increase - crease of stock this yew will be very large. Mr. Swan alone Is interested in forty one thousand head , or more than one-tenth of the entire number , and his opinion as to the cheerful con dition of affairs is doubtless the most reliable to be obtained.

According to the official estimates lately presented to parliament , the to tal cost of the Afghan war , up to the 31st inst , including the frontier rail- wayi , is $97,500,000. The loss of life , of course , Is not reckoned. Govern ments rarely think of that important factor. What has England got for her enormous outlay of money ! Nothing , absolutely nothing. Not a foot of new territory ; not an additional sub ject ; no advantage of any sort , pres ent or prospective. The government has decided to abandon Candahar , and the Ust British soldier will leave that city early next month when troops from Cabul are expected to ar rive and take posiesiion in the name of the ameer , Abdurrahman Kahn. That weak sovereign is to be Invested with sole and exclusive authority in Afehsniatan , and If he holds It a year will disappoint those who know him and the country best Not only has England gained no advantage by the heavy investment in blood and gold , but she has really lost advantage * hitherto possessed. Bef re the war the Afghans were reasonably friendly toward the English. Now , It Is a part of every Afghan's reli gion to hate every English- m n. Sir Frederick Eoberts , who has abnndint opportunity for learning their feelings on the subject , says : "The lets they see of us , the less they will dislike us. " The war wai undertaken , aa onr readers will remember , for the purpose of estab lishing such InQa as would make It an eflfoctt vo barrier to Russian invfttlon of ludU. If Rus sia contemplatad invasion which ia in the hlghett degree improbable she would now find a valuable ally in the people , who. three yeais ago , would have been indifferent , If not actually hostile. In fact , England's course in Afghanistan , from beginning to end , hasplayed directly into Russia's hands ; supposing Russia to have any designs upon India.
