Pinckney Whyte, the new Senator from Mary- lacd, made bis insogural speech. It was little moro than a pisce of declamation, and waa not equal to his repatetion as an orator and logician.

C. March 13.—The unfin- “gsbed business, being the resolution for the ad- mission of P. BS. Pinchback, a Senator irom Lonisiena, was called up immediately after the readiog of the journcl. ‘Mr. Edmunds (Vt) moved to amend the reso- lution by inserting tho word ‘:not” befare the word “admitted,” sot: at it would reed: = “* Re soltcd, That P. B. 8. Pinchback be not admitted as a Senaior from Louisisnz,” etc, The question being on the amendment, Mr. Edmunds said it was the anderstanding that a ‘vote should be taken to-day, sud he would not, therefore, ask the Senate to vote now. Me Thurman (Ohio) thon took the floor and spoke in opposition to the sdmission of tho ab- Plicant. Hoe said the Louisiana metter had been discussed up hiliend down, but if no Seaator wes ready to speaknow he would eay 8 fot words by way of taking his leave of tho subject. In the course of his argument he referred to the decision of the Supreme Conrt of Louisiana re- cogniziog the Kellogg Government, and insisted that the Court had no jurisdiction whatever in thocase. The decision of tho State Court wes not binding upen the Senate. Tho Senate was the exclusive judge of every question in regard to the election, qualifications, aud returns of its own membera, and that pewer could not be sur- rendered.

Morton said sue decisions of State Courts were bivdiag upoa the Supreme Court of the United States in cases involving tho Consiitu- tion aud laws of a State, and_not involving the Coaptitation and Is'ss of the United States. Mir. Thurmen said tho Senator (Morton): bad ‘been away from the Bar so long he bad becomo rasty in law. He agein quoted from various legal authorines to show that decisions of State Courts wera uct binding upon the Supreme Court of the United States. ‘Mr. Morton decirea to have read certain do- cisions. * ‘Mr. Thurman hoped he would not be further interrupted. If Mr. Morton desired to read for the purpoce of enlightening himself it would take more time then be (Iburmen) could spare. {Laugbter.] ens Nr. Morton then read from decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States in support of his arxument. Mr. Thurman, resuming, referred to the argu- ment of the Senator from Indiana (Mortou) made afew days ago, to the effect that the ac- tion of the President in recognizing the Kelloge Government was binding upon the Senate, and Baid it was just tbe opposite. It waa the decision cf the Senate and House of Represen‘atives which was binding upon the President, not his decision binding upon Congress. $ ‘Mr. Morton said the Senator from Ohio had eon guilty of discouttesy in accusing him (Mor- ton) of being rusty, though he must say it was a ve tare thing for that Senator to be discourteous. Mr. Thurman had also charged him with being ignorant of qkolsws. Ho then argued that the Senator from Ohio, by bis own citations and arguments, hed proved himself to be ignorant of inw. s Mr, Thurman disclaimed any intention of be- ing discourteous, and said if be had been awsy from the Bar as long as the Senator from Indi- sas he would not tske it 2s discourieous if ny Benatar should accuse him of being rusty. - Mr. Whyte followed in favor of Pinchback, and on concluding his argument, the Sonate went into executive session and soon afterwards ad- journed till Monday.

He was born on the 2Sth of April, in the year 1636, and auccecded to the Baronetcy by the death of his father, the tenth Baronet, on the 27th of September, 1545. “On the 7th of Decembor, 1866, he married Harriet Sarah Moncrioffe, the fourth daughter of Sir Thomas Monorioffe, Bart, who bore him one child, a daughter, on the 28th of Febraary, 1869, Sir Charlos Mordaunt proved to be a domestic disciplinarian—austera in manner, peremptory, scrupulous, sudsevere, Lady Mordaunt was, on the contrary, of a cheerful disposition, lively, fond of company, and lightly gayin manner. She was much admired in eociety, in Court cir- eles, by Queen Victoria, her children, and espe- cially by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wal jes. Sir Cherles Mordsunt began to complain, Lady Mordaunt went on as usaal. IN THE DIVORCE COURT. In February, 1$70, he commenced a snit for divorce on the ground of adaltery committed by Lady Mordaunt. The outline of his caso wasthat soon after Lady Mordauct was confined of her first child she confessed to a lady: visitor (the wife of an English clergyman) that she had broken the soventh command- ment, uot only with one person, but with six differant individuals. Her friends said sho was insane when she made the confes- sion ; hor enemies asserted that she was meroly telling the trath as an act of penitence for her sins. Lady Mordaunt was then an inmate of a private lunatic asylum. Sho had been sent there, it was ssid, in the hope of curing hor of mental bellncinations, amounting fo poeitive disease, which she Jabored under snd ated by her mode of livizg and everyday habits since her accouchemont. Sir Charles Mordaunt wished to have an ebsolute divorce from her.

Before his examination com- menced the presiding Judge, Lora Penzance, pointed ont to the Bar, ss new rule of Court, that ‘no wituess was bound to make to any question an soswer that wi admut that he was guilty of adultery.” ‘Tho Prince of Wales testified that he was ao- quainted with Lady Mordaunt previous to her marriage ; that he had made ber a wedding pres- eat; before her marriage she visited the Princess of Wales at Marlborough Honse; she had visited the theatre in compsny with himself and the Princess of Wales ; he sow her after in the years 1866 and 1867 ; he met Sir Chailes Mordauat ata pigeon-shooting match ; Lady Mordaunt on that oceassion scored for both of them; she poke to ber during the course of the match. — The Prince admitted that he occasionally used Bansom cabs.

The learned counsel and his friend, Mr. Browne, had looked into the matter, and considered that they ought to movethat the case be heard in its or— der, and this course they advised to be taken, as there seemed some doubt as to whether, consid- e1ing the technicalities of the case, an order as to the mode of trial had already been given.
