WASHINGTON , April 14 Messrs.
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 natured comment of
the icene yesterday. Considerable
time was wasted in waiting for a quo
rum , but finally an ineffectual motion
to proceed to the consideration of ex
ecutive business , developed the fact
that forty-one senators * ere 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 re
publican tide , evldentally taking liter
ally the words of Mr. Davis , when he
aid : "Let the debate go on. " He
thought things had reached that con
dition in the senate when a man could
not debate without a pair of derrin
gers In his picket. He fully took np
the issue , and said that the whole ob
ject of the present republican move
ment was to break up the democratic
party , and dilated upon it &t 1-jngth.
He next proceeded to discuss the isaue
of free ballet and fair count. He
talked for nearly three hours , without
saying anything of novel oz peculiar
interest.
Mr. Brownof Georgia , followed Mr.
Morgan. Among other things he spoke
of the recent remarks of Mr. Htwloy ,
any'denled that universal suffrage was
the law of the world. It was not
even the law of any civilized country
of the world. In the south , any man
bad the right to vote , but not in Mas-
saohnsetti , Connecticut or Rhode Is
land. He then went into a review of
the suffrage laws of those states. The
Massachusetts senator repeatedly tried
to interrupt the cpeaker , but ho declined
clined to yield thu floor until ho might
have finished his speech. He took up
the doctrine of state rights as laid
down by the New England senators ,
and asserted that no state interposed
more bars to lecal suffrage than Mas
achnsatts. Should _ t r - ralos
"aoToptedTancl enforce ! In 'Geor
gia , he said , eight-tenths of the
colored voters of that atato would be
deprived of their suffrage. In sup
port of the idea of cohcsivencss of
executive patronage , the spotker quo
ted figuroa to show how few office
holders In the public departments
came from Georgia , and argued that
the party could not be kept together
ithont patronage , and that the re
publican party in Georgia waa being
wiped out by northern injustice. The
Independent democrats of the south
were not on the road to recruit the
depleted rank * of the republican
party. Now and then an ambitious
young man , or office seeker , might go
over to them , but when the
watchword of reconstruction should
be flaunted , thinking young
men of the south would huld
aloof The idea of republicanism ,
that the south still stands as it stood
it the cluie of the war , is preposter
ous. The society of the south cunld
not be disorganized. The mistake
would readily be recognizjoTif the re
publican * hoped that southern inde
pendents would follow the leadership
of the senttor from Virginia. He was
not sure but what it might not 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 he concluded by saying that
when the senator from Massachusetts
saw fit to explain his recent imputa
tions as to treason and revolution on
the part of the democrats' position in
the senate , he won'td have a few words
to say in reply.
Mr. Hoar then undertook to cor
rect gome statements of Brown con-
earning tha number of diafrauchissd
adults in Massachusetts , and a discus
sion followed , In which Brown , Butler
and Oall confronted Mr. Hoar
and which waa conducted moro 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
had never known of a man there to
be deprived of his vote by violence or
to be comnelled to vote contrary to
the dictates of his owe conscience. At
a few minutes before six o'clock the
senate adjourned till 12 o'clock Mon
day.

ber of such notices came this morn

The democrats are bound to stick
where they are. It is for the republi
cans to say when the deadlock shall be
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 betora
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

The manufacturers and dealers in
butter are on the war path in consequence

to the attorney-general the question
as to whether a collector of customs
has the newer to examine packages
invoiced as butter and offerred for
shipment to points outside of the Uni
ted States. 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 as
to their opinions of the letter of Sen
ator Davis , of Illinois , on the political
situation revealed the fact that but
few had read it. Thosa who had ,
both republicans and democrats , held
that It was ridiculous to talk of dis
banding the existing parties , the
democrats believing they were yet to
come into their inheritance , and the
republicans believiog that the pros
perity of the country depends upon
the continuance of their organization.
The truth is the Davis letter did not
attract much attention at the capltol.
The only criticism upon it was that
the letter was f just what might have
been expected from an independent ,
and especially the most pootninent in
dent in the land , who , if a new party
was formed out of old ones , would
probably be the presidential candi
date of the new party.

Another republican caucus IB in the
near , prospectiv-f It jnay be held
Sulurdaybut prdb&bly 'not until Mon
day morning. It is now considered
not unlikely that the caucus may de
cide to hold one or more executive
sessions , but it will be with the fixed
purpose of holding the business en
tirely in republican hands. The first
etep in the natural and proper order
of business will be to refer pending
nominations. Then the committees
will report back such as they deem
important to have confirmed , and , as
this proceeding will bo enttrely regu
lar , the democrats cannot object to it.
When the confirmations agreed upon
by the republicans shall have been
disposed of thay can resume the pres
ent fight and stick to It aa long as
they please.
The rumor that Senator Conkllng
will make a speech in open senate
next week , declaring war against the

The scene In the senate yesterday
afternoon between Senators Hill and
Mahone , was the absorbing topic of
conversation last evening. The opin
ion prevails that the little general IB
itching for a fight , but the giod-
humored manner with which Hl'l '
looks upon the passage precludes all
conjecture in that direction. No fur
ther reference to thla feature of debate
is expected in the enate.

The mission to Brazil was offered to

A number of appointments to Im

determined upon , which yet remain

JOHN BROWN'S FAMILY.
WIFE AND DAUaUTER Or T1IE HERO
bTKUGCJLIHO AGAINST POVERTY.
San Joie ( Cal. ) Mercury , JUrch 30.
There reside on a small farm in the
foothills near Saratoga , in this county ,
the widow and daughter of one of the
most noted men of modern history
John Brown , the martyr champion of
human ireednin , who lost his lifo in
the.fall of 1859 through hia sturdy
and pious zeal In behalf of the ilavea
whom he sought tt > liberate. Tha
widow la about 70 yaat of age , the
burden of whose support falls upon
the daughter , a worthy and cultured
lady , who la illy fitted for the rough
farm work which she la obliged to per
form. But she 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 home
and the extra efforts they are com
pelled to put forth to meet their
monthly Interest. Their home is mort
gaged f er $1000 , which , it wonld seem
to us , there ought to be noble patriot
hearts enough in thla state to assume )
and pay off , and thereby leave these
worthy women free from the embarass-
menti which now weigh them down.
It should ba done for his sake the
grand old man of Kansas fame , the
hero-martyr for freedom , who died
that this Union , purified of the foul
tain of human slavery , might live 1
It has been suggested that the good
people of San Jose get them up some
sort of a benefit to help them out of
their embarrassment. In the mean
time there may be some nable souls
who read these lines who wonld be
made richer in their own lives by the
performance of another generous act ,
and who wonld contribute to their re
lief. Any monies forwarded to the
Bank of Ssn Jose 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's names will evermore be en
shrined in the gratetnl remembrance
of the widow and daughter of John
Brown , whose
Body lie * moldsring in the grate.
But whose soul goes marching on.
