HOW THR PARTIES BTAND, Suectal IMspatch ta The Chlcago Tribune, Wasminatoy, D, €., Nov, 22.—Tucre was a scene cnucted fn the Eenate Cliumber to<dny which has never before been witnessed in the Amcrican Cougress. The ocensfon was the cone test for party supremucy lu the Senate. The central feuture was the apostacy of two Repub- lican Senators. Bouth Curolioa played an fme portant part i the history of this country 1otil. Buuth Caroling, in the 8enate Chamber Lo-day came near flnlthlm; the work which that State in 1801 began. The Viegima abstructlon of Socesaion was comparatively harmlesa until the action of Suuth Caroling gave to 1t a pra= tlcal and mokiguaut activity. To-day South Carulina was THE PIVOTAL FOINT upon which turned the futurs coutrol of power i the Unlted States Senate. The circuins stances which led to the crisls to-day can he briefly told. The Democruts since the Presie dential election lave been plotsing to sceure the control of the United States Senute. They had at the beginulng of the s votes to overcome. Of these, death took one, —thut of Mortou, a leader who has been sadly missed In the excitemont of ‘thy lust two unys. Bluine was stricken by illness. Sharou wus joiued to his mouey fdols, and could not leave, nu matter how much his country or patrivtisn might detand, 1is triends say he ls ‘TRRYING TO SBAVE 11IS URBAT FORTUNE Trom the wreck Ralston made, Bo It came about from various causcs that yesterday o gafn by the Democrats of but one Republican vote would have tied the Benate,und 8 gafu of two would have given the Democrats one majority. To gain these two votes was tloic object. Republicans who bave never had full fuith fu reconstruction will not be surprised to Tearu that the eyes of the Democrats naturally turned with hope tu the curpet-vagwers, Itis charged that the carpet-bageers bave dininished Republivan majorities inthe North. It secnjs possible to-nlglt that carpet-baggism willsecure for the Democrats TUR CONTIOL OF TUB UNITED 8TATES BENATE. The plays to conpuss this end wero far-reach- Ingzaud very subtle. nSouth Carolinathe Hamp- ton Government, huving obtalned posscesion of the courts, prosccutions were begun against persous who bad acted with the Hepublican party, and Senator Pattersun, the only remume Ing Republican Senator from that State, was chosen us o murk, Unfortunately thero were passages iu Seuator Putterson's South Carolina lite which LEPT IT OPEN TO ATTACK, He Is fudicted, application s pending In the courts of this District tor his renditlon to South Curoling, and It [s noteworthy that the persuns baviug charge of this application appear to bave very intimate relations with the mavagers of the vontested Democratic case from that Btate, Once surrendered to the South Caroling suthoritics, the precedents in the cases of Swulls und others scewm to leave littie chunce to Putterson to escape the Penftentiary, Dut the friends of Gen. Butler are sald to be able to BTAND BETWEEN PATTRNSON AND TUE BTATE'S ERISON, When the sesslon opened to-day, tlerefore, Putterson, as une of his tellow Benators sald, scewed to have been standing between holl on the one slds and the Peulteutiary upun the other. Tue Democratic caucus had made it ap- parent that the Democrats relled upon two vutesto ald toem fu thelr schemes, Tho second of thesy votes was that of Conmover, The Demovratic plan wus to move to dlscharge the Elections Committeo 1 the case of Butler, and to swear the latter In. This, with the ald of two Republican Votes, they expectedto aceomplish, Thatdone, and haviug the vote of Butler to ald them, they Iutended to move Lo seat Eustls, of Loulsluna. That done, with tle additional vote gained and the two Kepublivans, the Dewocrats MIGUT UAVE SEATED 8POPYORD, 0a the coutrol of the Benate woutd have been thelrs, The Democrats commenced to ridicul this caucus programme yestenday by moving to discharee the Elections Committee from fur- tur covelderation of the Butler case.

T WAS THE SITEATION when the Benate opened this morning. The Scontors werg promptly in thelr pia cs. The Democratie Senators were evidently ident, althoueh there was o shade of unrest upon Thurman's tace. The majority of the Repube licans seemed to Le hnpressed with the f2ct that the desting of their party domivation was hane- fug in the halance, and that all the vurfous kinds of nterest which helung to .the present amd to the past were collected on one spot and in one house. Every Mep in the procecdings scemel to Impress the Nepublica slers with o consciuustesa of the fncreased gravity of the sitastlon. The Jon: palleries wers comparatively empty, for it ha not become generally kaown that the day was to be an eventful one.

Hoar, after movingto table Thurman's motion of yesterdav, had yielded to Bavard, that the latter might Imrrcsu the Senute with the under- standing that Hoar's motion should not be dis placed. liv«:ribudy 80 understood it, and the oflicial journal aud the record sbowed it But Thurman, tor what purpose dues nut secwn manifest, unless it was TO GAIN TIME, tried to have thie journal wmended, 8o that it mightappear that tihe motton o tuble was not reseweds Aster Buyurd spoke, Thurman spuke for twenly inioutes, to tind ug the end that Bavard took Issuc with i, and declared that noune shiowing o courteay to him should be deonved of auy vparlinmentary advantage, and that ve (Bayard) intended to oppose Thiurman's mot.on, ‘That of course destruyed Thurnan's uuv\mflt‘; except that he palued an honr's time, In that hour who shall say what combimations were forined, what plans were arranged for coin- ponndinge a felony on the fluor of the United States Senatel ‘Lhe motion of Thurman enabled Conkling to notity any Itepublicans WIO CONTEMPLATED FARTY TREACHERY that they we=s restime under the susp.cion of thuir colteagues.
