Interrogatory put last Friday by Senator
Voorhces to Senator Logan, as to whether
tbe latter would indorse the papers of an
applicant for the smallest posl-oflice who
favored tbe repudiation either of a State
or tbe national debt. He would ask the
gcntl^nian (Voorhees) how he found it
comportable with his principles to sit and

1I<- also quoted from John W. IJsniets,
one of the leaders of tbe Bourbon party
in Virginia, denouncing tbe iniquitous
measures of the Federal financiers, and
proposing to reverie them. He recom-
meuded the Senators from Indiana and
Delaware (Voorbees and Bayard) to try
and reconcile their differences of views on
financial questions before tbe Senator
from Indiana again discussed tbe subject.
As to the Senator from Georgia (Drown),
who seemed to be so much troubled
about readjustment, be questioned wheth
er the world bad ever produced a man
who could so readily readjust himself to
all conditions and all circumstances.
I Laughter.) That gentleman had got
ahead otithe people and of the Democratic
party in theeffort ' to dissolve the
I union and was the first Governor in the
sibility—his pr->u<l responsibility—for
introducing Mr. Riddleberger’* name as a
i-audidate for ollice, but professed his
readiness to withdraw that name if it
were true, (as reports had It), that tho
D'-m icratic Senators would then with
draw th'-lr opposition to the election of
officers of the Sena’e. The opposition to
Mr. Riddleberger, he said, was in view of
the coining election in Virginia. It was
the de-ire to uphold Boitrbouism there.
It was tbe desire to uphold tli- party
which, while openly professing
obedience lo tbe constitution, held
by a mei.til reservation purposes
hostile to the constitution, aud which did
not believe in tbe right of freedmeu to
vote. It was to uphold the party that
while nominally accepting the Cincinnati
platform, in which a full vote, a froo bal
lot aod an honest count had been de
manded, had introduced a constitutional
aim-udineut requiring that no man should
cast % ballot for any office, on any ac
count, until be liad paid a capitation tax
This effort was to uphold the party whiih
had denied tho Democratic c-eed, and
wiich had undertaken by methods of in
direction to disfranchise the colored man
That was tlie purpose. He had never
given Uia. doctrine his assent, either in
public or at the ballot-box. For one, be
wanted no political serfs iu Virginia.
He stood prepared here on this floor,
sustained by the courage of the men who
were behind him at home, to ‘assure the
country that in Virginia, at least, there
should be a free suffrage, a full vote and
an honest count. [Applause in the gal
leries]. It was very true, he said, that
tlie readjusting party had instructed its
electors for Haucock and English, but it
was equally true'hat it had forbidden,
and purposely forbidden, tlie instructing
fur tho e candidates as the nominees of
the Democratic party. Tbe purpose of
tbe Readjusters was to stay the retrograde
mjvemeut of years, so as to bring Viigin-
ia back from number fifteen iu
the grade of States to her
- riginal position iu the sisterhood of
States. Far be it from him that Ids ac
tion here should be controlled or influ
enced by a caucus wbo3e party had waged
war on his constituents, and whose party
success was held paramount to what he
considered to be the interest of Virginia
and the welfare of tlie whole country.
Tlir Readjustee of Virginia had no feel
ing of hostility, nojword of uukindnes*, for
the colored man. He had not measured
Ids duties by the consideration of self-in
lerest. Not so much could be said of the
distinguished statesman who urged the
South to resist reconstruction. Virginia
had not forgotten her abandonment from
that quarter, and needed no counsel as to
ber duty.
“I am here,” he said, in conclusion,
“to assert that Virginia, the mother of the
Union, renews her old-time faitli and de

Virginia, to Scuator Hill, of Georgia, or-
namen ed that gentleman’s desk, and was
grettly admired. The floral tribute was
accnmpaiitod by thn following note:
“These Virginia flowers, from the ladies
of Alexandria, are presented to Senator
Hill, of Georgia, as a feeble testimonial on
their part of their admiration of the bril-
linnt manner in which he recently exposed
the corrupt bargain made by a Senator
from Virginia on the one part and the Re
publican party on the other, 'this ship,
Senator, has not cleared from tho White
House, nor is its voyage in qnest of Fed

he has made in defense of the honor, iu

tenance of the former illustrious history of

one of her own Senators, which had been
treacherously pointed to pieroe her fair
fame.’’
On motion of Mr. Cameron, of Wiscon
sin, a resolu iou was adopted, authoriz
ing tbe Secretary of the Senate to pay
from the contingent fu.id the necessary
funeral expenses of the late Senator Car-
peliter. The pending budn-’ss, being a
resolution fur the election of Senate offi

Washington, March 29.—In the Sen
ate, immediately after the reading of the
journal, the re-olution was called up for
the electiou of officers of the Senate. Mr.
J.dtnston stated that he intended to reply
to the speech of his colleague delivered
yesterday, but as it did not appear in the
Jlecortl this morning, and as lie did not
wish to misrepresent bis colleague, he
would postpone his reply until he could
have the opportunity to read that speech.

mado yesterday by Mabone thatthe Dem
ocratic party had repudiated tlie debt of
South Carolina asserting that if there
had been repudiation it bad beau when
that State was under tho control of tti
party with which that gentleman was now
acting.
Ho then proceeded to recite tbe action of
tbo Democrats in this special session of
the Senate, their attempts to fulfill tbeir
duty in reorganizing the committees, aud
the course pursued by their opponents,
which was, iu his opiuion, subversive of
all usages aud precedents of this body

branch of the government. lie argued
against the right of the Vice-President to
vote upon the election of officers. No
where in the constitution was he clothed
with that power. It nad been clearly
sbowa by many roll calls that a majority
of tho Senate did uot choose to tdecl new
officers. This special session had been
c/.lled to consider business seut to tlie
Senate by tbe President. Whether there
was any commit uicalion stating thed sire
of tho President that the offices of tl>"
Senate should be again mied,
he did not know. If there »as, Ins side

ators.om Pennsylvania (Mr. Cameron)
nad made this question one of endurance,
and bad then gone down at tlie lint clash

established precedent and establish a bid
one; because tbe Senate had been called
hero for executive business and, above
all, because grave suspicions had taken
hold of tbe public mind that this action
was tbe result of an unnatural coalition
and corrupt bargain. The Senator from
Virginia (Mr. Mahone) disclaimed that he
had been moved by any im
pure considerations. He c-'ii-
gratulatod that gentlemen, and would
say to him m all frankuess that he would
strengthen his position before the country
if he would show what conrideraiiou bad

tleman Irom Virginia iiad -.rossly misrep
resented it. The gentleman had charged
him with inconsistency. He admitted
tlie position which he now occupied upon
certain questions was not tbe position he
had occupied at the beginning of the war
of tlm rebellion. He had gone into that
Content to maintain slavery and State sov
ereignty. He had sincerely believed that
he was right in thenar. He never bad
settled both questions Slavery bad been
abolished, and be was content that it was
aim isned. To this extent he might be
said to be inconsistent. Tho gentleman
had advised him to readjust his record.
He would be unable to readjust himself
so as to take the position which that gen
tleman occupied to-day before tho Senate
and country.
Replying to the charges made against
him yesterday by Mahone, that he
(Brown) bad bad an ambition for tho
Presidency of tho Confederate States,
he said Mahonc’s statement was very-
wide of fact He had positively refused
to permit his name to be used for any
Confederate position whatever. The
gentleman had charged him with will)*-
ilrawing the militia of Georgia from the
Confederate cause. There again the
gentleman liad been misinformed abodt
the facts. He bad never withdrawn witn
his militia from the Confederate service.
That charge of tho Senator fell to the
ground as unjust and untrue
Referring to Mr. Mahon-'s denial of a
argaiu between him and the Republicans,
Mr. Brown said ho did not state that tbe
charge that there was a bargain was true,
but proceeded to make a resume of the
facts which led to that onelusiou. It
was a peculiar coincidence that the Sena
tor from Virginia, who up to a late period
liad alwavs been a Democrat, should vote
witb'the Republicans on the organization
of every committee, and that iu a very
short time atte-wards tbe Republicans
should meet in caucus and nominate his
iuiimate friend, Gorham, who had bolted
the party aud been read out of it, and
Riddleberger, who had always been a
Democrat. It might have been no bar
gain—it might nut even have been an un-
deistandiug—but he would call it a pe
culiar coincidence. If there was a bar
gain, tbo Democrats would not be parties
to it. If it bad been carried out on dne
side, '.bey would uot help to deliver the
goods.
Tnesituation reminded iiimofthe story
of the coon and the skunk. The coon
had left home one day, and on his return
iound some other nnioial in the hollow of
his tree. Ho thought it was a cat and
challenged it as such “No,”-<aid tho
polecat,’ “I am a coon.” “You don’ 1
look llKfl a coon.’’ “ But l am a coon.”
“ Yon don’t talk like a coon.” “But I
am a coon.” “You don’t, smell like a
coon ami you ain’t a coon.” [Laugbter.J
This transaction did uot look exactly i:k-t
a proper transaction aod it did not ciukII
like a proper transaction. [Latisliier.]
Tlie K--j)itbIiciU< side reminded him of
the man who litd caught a wolf and then
had to call too friend lo help to let it go,
or rather i: reminded him of the man who
ha I won an elephant at a ridlfe an I did
not know what lo do with hint. Tnc Re
publicans liad won the elt-phant in this
case aud were not iu very good condi
tion to get rid of him. If they did not
stand by his friends, he might tin-u and
rend every chairman of theirs. [Laugh
ter] In conclusion, he asserted it to he
his du y to stay here and prevent the con
summation ot what the public thought to
be a baigain.
Several dilatory measures were then
made and voted down.
Mr. Beck briefly ridiculed the Republi
cans for iiomiiia’ing Riddleberger and
attacked Johnson, tbe It -p'ibi ca i candi
date for ehief clerk, who, h • said, liad in
1873 issued a circular asking contributions
to thu Republican campai n fund in
which he tie dared that it the Democrats
obtained control of the ivuate and House
they would at tempt to exp I the President
and pay rebel claims. Every charge ma le
by iliat gentleman bail been proven abso
lutely fa ! >e.
Mr. MeMilian defended Johnson, as
sertin'' that he was ail ho-unable man,
and that the charge* against him had been
proven false and liad been abandoned.
Mr. K--ll"gg, replying to the animad
versions o’’Mr. J.mas on thn eoursii of
Senator Hampton In voting in K'-llog^
behalf at tin last sesrion, said Jonas re
fused to he comforted because lie liad uot
been able to im-t ai him. He thought his
colleague would have stated when he lud
Itlie floor that tin debt of Louis aua lud
repudiated by tho so-called carpet
bagger government, ami lie would have
gladly met that issue. No more rascally
act hail ever been perpetrated than that
perpetrated by the D en-icratfc party iu
regard to tbe deb; of that State.
Mr. Jonas, replying, said Ids colleague
had at last sought an opportunity to bring
forth all the malice, all the bile, all the
vituperation which ho bad long hell In
his soul against tho people whom tic
claimed lo represent. As to the debt
question, im asserted that the debt of the
Stale had been largely increased during
the administration of Governor Kellogg.
Mr. Kellogg denied'this statement and
asserted that during Ills administration
lie had not approved a bill authoricing
ti'A issuo of one dollar of bonds or wat-
rants.
At the conclnslon of Mr. Kellogg’! re
marks, Mr. Dawes, trusting his Deoo-
critic friends would dispose of the ques
tion to-morrow, moved to adjourn, wiich
was, at six o’clock, agreed to.
Washington, Match 29:—There is a
rumor afloat that Attorney General tlac-
Vcagh will shortly retire from the Cabi
net on account of disagreements wit? the
President touching the uoinhiariot of
Stanley Matthews and William E Chand

in the Department of Justice respcctitely.
The causes leading to the disaffectioi of
attorney General MacVeagb aud joat-
mssou. General James were briefly »n-

Mr. Harris, statiug that it was evident
the Republicans did not intend to trans
act the business-wbiclt tin* Senate liad
been called to irausacit, tnov*-d that when
the Senate adjourn to-day it be to meet
oil tbe first Monday in December. Lost;
yeas 23, nays 28 Various other motions
were made aud voted down.
Mr. Pendleton called attention to the
inaugural address iff the President, in
which he stated that lie would ask, iu due
time, Congress to fix the tenure of tbe
minor officers of the government. In or
der that the Seuale might no longer pre
sent the spectacle of wrangling over petty
officers, he would move tu go into execu
tive session.
Mr. Dawes agreed that the tenure of of
fice should be fixed by law, but be did
uot see how an act could be passed at this
special session.
Mr. Hill, of Georgia, read a letter is
sued from tlie Readjustee headquarters 111
October, 1880, by William Mahone, iu
which be alluded to the Republican party
as tlie “grip sack” party. Did tho Sena
tor know what was meant by a “grip
sack” party ?
Mr. Dawes replied that lie did not, but
thought the Senator from Georgia ought
lo know not only that but every phase of
every political party that has ever come
up, ior certainly if auyoody had tried
them all tbe Senator from Georgia bad.
He iheupraeeedediomakequite a lengthy
speech, in which he said that unless tb<-
uutrummeled, unterrilied and undismayed
voice of every voter in tbe land could tell
upon the policy aud laws which he was
called upon to obey, tho goverument ot
the country would be a failure, audit was
therefore a conflict of life and death of
this nation that the Republican party was
now engaged lit oil this fl or.
Mr. Util, replying,.said there was not a
word in the cuator’s speech iu which he
did not fully concur. He had b-eu wail
ing patiently for thn. appearance of the
speech of tho ganrteman from Virginia,
(Mr. Mahone), iu order to make seine re
ply to it. He did not wish to misrepn-sem
that gentleman, but if he had und»rsi"od
his speech, he bad made use of come of
the grossest misrepresentations upon the
Southern States that had ever been ut
tered. He, however, did not intend to
*ay vnjtbing upon that subject until the
speech appeared iuihe Record. There was
one point to which he wished to call the
attention of tlie Senate, and to do it m no
equivocal language. Ho had noticed that
in nearly all the Republican papers, and
iu thu d.fferent speeches made on this
floor, an attempt to justify this coalition
with thu Senator ft otu Virginia
and his party by the charge
that they led off in favor of the dual
rights of a free ballot aud of a fair count
in theSouthern States. No man liad had
the (ace to say that tlie Southern people
were opposed to a free ballot, and a fair
count. [Deri Ive laughtor on the Republi
can sine.] They sought to imply 'list.
Whether slated or implied, t-e stood In-ic
to say that it was gratuitously faLe a iu I
untrue, nod that the chaige that tlie
Democratic party in the South desired l*y
foice, by fraud, by i -tiimdarton, or by
auy other means, to obstruct the ainetid-
m*iuls to lie- coustiiutlOu and to prevent
the cnforcfluie'it of tbo laws which gnar-
a- teed equal riglils to all men without re
gard to race, color or previous condition,
was utterly untrue.
He read exuac'9 from a speech deliv
ered bv Ins colleague (Mr. Crown), at
Allan a, just previous to Ids election to I
the Senate, in which he advocated a fren
ballot and an honest count for all men.
In the fa.- -. f' hit fa -t, he was astonished
that gent lumen-'ton Id :• suiue that some
body must move oil in th - South m laV-n-
of a free balloi. The posit ion ot the Sen
ator from V' gi.iia (.Mahon ) was di-.-
ttoctlv the posit I 'll of his colleague—
distinctly tlie p*-iti >:i of the l)e:u
oeratie party in G.-orgia, v.i.fah affirm d
its approval of those sentiments by elect
ing his colleague by n t 'o-iliiid- vie.
He maintained that the mas-rs of the
people in all sections tv ere ho-est, ad
were equally iutc etled >u go d •.-•vern-
meuL. Ho -.id not de-ire to <1 . n justice
to any portion of tie' con iirv *r itity color
or race lit the counuy. hi< tunv m-iit
to get up a party by a c-ialitio.. beta eon
the R'-puhlicau- aod it a .jo.-iers irff Vir
ginia, if based on tie: idea that, t ie De
mocracy of tlie South was unwilling to
do jusiiee to the negro, was bated on a
false idea—was based on a nre’ex: which
was nothing bill a pretext. Tie- pen lo*ff
tbe Bom It were j .tst us honest as tie* peo
ple of the North. Who were the men in
the South who owned p*op<*rty ? VV:io
were interested in peace and good socie
ty ? Were tlnsy not the men who c re
posed chiefly the D«ra’"Crarie party ? Why
should tb -y be in favor of fraud and vio-l
fence? It was an moontrovertahle fact
that thus*! States of which tbe Democratic
party had first obi allied possession were
now the most prosperous and tbo most
peaceable. A greater wrong could not be
Inflicted ou Ilia colored people than to or
ganize a movement based on tbe idea of
doing something for the colored race in
dependent of the white race. Race dis
tinction must be kept down. Did tbb
movement mean an attempt to place South
ern governments under a coalition ol tho
colored people with tho worst class of
white people was to bo revived? Was
that ordeal to be repeated ? If so, he liad
confidence that the Northern people
would repudiate it.
Mr. Cameron, of Wisconsin, sent to tbe
clerk’s desk, and had Tesd, tbe letter sent
to Mr. Chittenden by Mr. Hill shortly
after tbe election, and inquired whether
Mr. Hill was still of tbe opinion that tlie
Democratic party ought to disband.
Mr. Hill stated that lie would answer
the inquiry, though it would have been
fairer If tbe Senator had broadened the
question and asked whether be was in
favor ol both parties disbanding. There
was nothing in the letter, so far as
bis opinions were concerned. He
was of tbe opinion that the bes
thing that could happen for this country,
looking to lu future, its peace and pros
perity would be the organisation ot
parties wholly disconnected with tbe dif
ference# of tbe past. He contended that
the wont element in this country, tbe
be said that the people of South accepted
in good faith tlie constitutional amenl-
mento, but expressed the opinion that ft
would have been a benefit to the colored
race in tbo South and country if some
plan had been devised to improve the in
tellectual condition of the negro before be
was given full rights. He asserted em
phatically that the condition of unquiet
aud unrest, ont of which the Southern
States were emerging, had been due to
the reconstruction m-asures ad-pled by
the Republican party after the war. The
evil which affiicted thu Sou b after the
war was threatened to be repeated. What
was it? The coalition ol the Republican
party with the minority element in the
Soulb, seeking not the good of the colored
man, but to get domiiiiou iu tbe country.
Every movement that came from tbe
South in favor of burying the i-sues of the
war, in favor of forgetting tbe passions of
the war, 4 in favor of hiding, from
view the wrongs of the war,
wav met by the Republican party with
a flap in tlie face. Every movement that
comes from the South in favor of burying
the issues of tlie war is met by a demand
from the Republican party that tbe peo
ple of the South must evidence their faitli
by joining tlie Republican party, aud no
Southern man is allowed to be a patriot
unless be accompanies his profession of
patriotic sentiment with a hegira overto
tbe Republican party. In conclusion, he
wsrned tho Republican party that ibis
coallti n over which i; was now rejoicing
was going to do more to set back the real
liberal movement than anything else
could do.
Mr. Hoar denied the statement made
by the Senator from Georgia, that people
in the South were allowe 1 a Tee balloi and
an honest count. He challenged Mr. Hill to
-late one important nieavure in regard to
the South on which the Republican party
had not been in the right, and upou Mr.
Hill’s replying “the reconstruction meas
ures,” •k'dareil that tin: so-called carpet
baggers’governraeuts had been nee* ss-
itated by laws enacted in many of tbe
Southern States, practically re-establish
ing slavery.
lu the midst of the controversy, which
was kept up at some length, Mr. Logan
entered into tbe discus-lou and asserted
that every lime au opportunity is offered
the Senator from Georgia digs up every
questiou growing out of the war. The Sen
ator from Georgia, be said, and every
other man that jolued the rebellion, is
responsible for every wrong claimed.
To this Hill replied that he was not as
-sponsible as the Seuator from Illinois
who was advocating a policy fob the
Democratic party which encouraged
them to resist, when he (Hill) was man
fully btcasting he storm. Continuing,
he said: “1 will tell the Seuator what is
an historical fact, that I was met on the
slump tu Georgia with the argument that
he (Logan) aud such as he would sustain
the South if it did secede.”
Mr. Logau replied that the insinuation
that he sympathized with the South at
the time was false.
Mr. Hill said, he had no doubt of it.
He did not charge,and he did not endorse,
what was raid of Logan. He was only
reciting historical facts.
The controversy between Hoar and
Hill was then resumed, the former chal
lenging tbe latter to advance proof
sustaining his charge that riie Republican
party In the South was not a friend of tbe
colcred man and the latter contending
that the evils iu the South had been
brought about liy the carpet-baggers.
Mr. Beck, after intimating that tbe rea
son the Republicans refused to go into
executive session was because they bad
quaire’ed among themselves and did not
11are to face the i-sue in executive session,
moved t • go lulu executive) session,
which was rejected.
Mr. Dawes ridiculed tlie new discovery
made by Mr. Beck, aud desiring, he said,
to give the Senator’s friends time to rally
round it, moved to adjourn. It was
agreed to.
■ Washington, March 30—A delega
tion, representing the colored Republicans
of I^mislana, called on the President to
day and presented an address sell ing forth
tlie view s and wishes of tlie colored people
<ff that Siate. A. Dumont acted as
spokesman for the delegation. The ad
dress is quite lengthy, and maintains that
the colored race in Louisiana has kept
pace with the rest of tlie Union in the
march of progress aud that they pay
taxes on $25,000,009 worth of prop
erty. They asit no uew legislation—
only honest enforcement of existing laws
—for Hieir protection, gnp-olally an
participation in the advantages of the
"Ublie school system and freedom and
protection in the right of suffrage. The
President in reply .renewed the assurances
concerning Hie colored lace contained in

tli-lr consideration the Importance to
their race of education and personal
ownership of the soil upon which they
