C., March 24.—The Demo- cratic Sonntors to-day experienced the responsi- bilities of leadership, and discoyered, to thelr regret and humiliation, what formidable oppo- sition they will bave to encounter in the able, skillful, and eloquent Republican minority. In- deed, the Republicans proved themselves a mi- norlty only in numbers. They arc still the com- manding spirits in all great questions, and fore- inost in parllamentary leadcrahip, ‘The ‘siraple thing that the Democrats had to do this. mnorn- ing was to complete the organization of the Sonate by discharging the old officers und ap- polnting ex-Confederates in their places. The Democratic caucus ‘leader Indicated by the asaurance with which he rose that this would involve but the formal work of a few minutes. The result was a debate of morethan five hours, which took a range of topics from the War of the Rebellion uatil now. “TNA MOST REMANKABLE FACT of all was that the triumphant leaders of the majority party In tho flrat year of the ascen- dency of the returned Hourbons in the, Senate wero put upon the defensive, and compelled to make an apology to the country and seok justi- fication for the course. ‘Lo nn observer in tho Zallerles, the thought would certainly never have occurred that Anthony, Blaine, und Conk- ling were repreacntatives of the minority party, ‘The debate was one of the :aost important and significant that hus occurred for many a day iu the Senate, and was buta preeusor of similar great debutes to come. MR. WALLACE, Chairman of the Democratic caucus, furnished | the pretext for the debate by the presentation pated in by Messra. Anthony, Hamlin, Wallace, Conkling, Bayard, Beck, Vabrhices, Blaine, and Eston. Durfng the coursed of the debate Mr. Beck read a cirentar issued during the campaign of 1878, nud sigoed “Sidney A. Austin. By or- der of the Committee, - George C. Gorham, See- retary." The clreular gays that it is almost cer- tain that the next Senate wil be Democratic, and asserts that, foremost.among the schemes of thut party, is the intention to attempt the revolutionary expulsion frqaa his office of the President. A : Mr, Eaton referred to the circular read, and asked if {t was true that tho Demoersts contem- plated the ousting of tho President, as there stated. “Now I have not," he said, ** puy ven high respect for the man that occupies the Presl- dential chair. J think he is there through fraud; thathe hus no business there; that a majority of B freemen in this country say he has no business there. But whon the Secretary of this Committee says that foremost among their schemes, the Opposition already announce their intention to attempt. the revolutionary expul- sion of the President, frou: his office, 1, asa Democrat, deny {t astalse. No body of men, respectable eltlier in numbers or intellect, ever announced such a policy, Therefore, wero itnot right ana proper for. other reasons to make this change, I would? advise a change in ihe Secretaryaliip of the Senate because of this : ane brdixi sald the pretext that the Secretary was to bo removed because he issued this circular might ko for what it was worth. He would have to zo just the same if hoe nad ever fssued a circular, But the gentleman from Connecticut (Eaton) had satd tat Gorham stated an untruth in the clreulur when he sald it was the design of the Democratic party to remove the President. Now, the struggle in both branches of the last Congress, which culminated in the Potter Com- mittee, was evidence of n sontiment in the Dem- ocratic party which justificd the assertion made. iu the circular, The Potter Comtnittce was organized for the purpose of obtaining, if pos- sible, evidence on which to buse proceedings to remove the Preaident. Mr, Wallace—Docs not the Senator know that ina weels from the issuance of that elreular the Democratic Conyentlon of Pennsylvania de- of acuucus resolution that the’ Senate should | clared that it was unwiso and impolitic to make proceed to the election of oflicers. ‘To the sur- prise of the Democrats at first, sud to their dis- may afterwards, Senator Anthony rose te pro- test against achango then, in a specch which exhibited great research anda minute kuowl- edgeof the carly history of the Scnate. Ho traced the records of the Scuate officers from the foundation of the Government, and showed that it hud beon left to the Bourbons of to-day to disregurd the history of the Senate, to violate its traditions, and to remove faithful officers without causa, The speech was delivered Ike onc of thoso sculogivs for which the Senator 13 noted, and, while it was the obituary of the Republican. of- fice-Loldlug in the Sonate, it was. A SEVERE ARIATONMENT of the Democracy for hypocrisy and {ncon- sistency, Golng back twenty years to the time when Mr. Anthony frat entered the Senate Chamber, ho drew a sketch of the ofticora of the Senute he fotind: there, who bad even been twenty years in their places, and who, although Democrats, the Republicans have coutinued for thelr knowledge and etilcioney to this day, ‘To the surprise of the Democrats in the Senato, he presented o lst of thirty such officers, all Democrats, and many of them pronounced and an attack upon the title of the President? Mr, Blaine—Why aid they make that. resolve Af thero was not some danger in the alrt Mr. Watluce—Because thut assertion wns false, Mr. Blaine—That document had never seen the light then. It dld not come out until some encaking Federal officeholder betrayed the se- crets of his party, and ts probably now waiting in the corridors for some reward. ‘The Senator cannot base hig action in Pennsylvania on that, lo went up to Harrisburg to make tt certain that no such rash step should be taken by the Democratic party. Mit, WALLACE sald that there was some such ogitation then, but {twas algo true that the assertion of the cirenlar was that ofa man who declared what was untrue, aud wos unsustained by any word or act of men worthy to ropresent ‘the Demo- cratic party. Mr, Blaine thought there was an immense cx- hibition here of virtue atter the fact. If any- thing was in tho afr at the tine of the anpotne- ment of the Porter Committee, it was the con- viction that it was organized to fish for testi- mony ou which to procced against the title of the President. Mr. Kernan—My recollection 1s that, con- temporancously with the organttation of that Commitiee, the House passed a resolution that there was no Intent to question the title of the Presigent. Mr. Haine—Some weeks after there came up from tho country aery of indignant protest. aggressive Democrats, who have been'permittca | After business cummunitics everywhere dis- to retain thelr places through all the days of Republican rule, It waa A HUMILIATING POSITION fn which Mr. Bayard placed himself in attomnt- ing to reply to Mr. Anthony. A professed Clyi- Service reformer, he voluntarily appeared as the apologist of the greatest violation of Civil-Sery- ico princlples that has been witnessed in this Generation of American politics. It was painful to witness his embarrassed, hesitating, shifting, evasive attempt to find a justification for the De- mocracy in specious excuses, and in 9 sermon on Civil-Service reform. It was with tha great skill of a polemic orator that, at the end of Bayard's stran¢eely misplaced sermon on-re- form, Mr. Conkling caused the resolution for the removal of the ollicers to bo read, not, hu sald, thot it night appear at the beginning of his own specch, but that it might bo ATTUMEND OF MN. BATAND'A. It was iu yain that Mr, Bayard protested that the Democrats wore actuated by .no aplrit of narrow partisanship; thut they desired purity in the public service. His apeech, viewed in its relations to purely partisan removals, which tt War to precede, was the most blatant mockery. Senator Conkilng took up the gauge of battle which Hayard had thrown down, and laid bare the hypacrley of the Democratic position. Bay- ard had been unfortunate enough to tharge that Sceretary Gorham was Sevrotary of the Repub- ene ey Neun Caiapalgn Committee, Conkling referred to the fuct that John G, ‘Thomuson, of Ohio, Bergeant-at-Arms of the Houso, who had just been re-elected, had been Chatrman of the great Democratic Committea of Oblo, A man, ho sald, of grip nnd gatner, who girded the sword, the bladu of which was everywhere, but tho hilt tu the hanits of the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of Representatives. ; Bayard wae still more usfortunato tn referring to the fact that the eaployus of the Democratic Senate of 1861 had applied to him to bo rem stated, Conkling was quick to apply the rofer- ence which Bayard bad Inadvertontly made, replied to it in AN IMPABSIONAD PASSAGS countonanced such action, then this House, on ravatore of a Republican, dit udopt sitch resolu- jot.

The bost of them agree with me that the mun at the White House has no legal title to this place as Presl- dent of the United States. : Mr, Blaino—1 will answer the gentlemanjwith ny view of the case. It ts that the President of thy United States holds the oles to which he was elected by us fair und houest a voto as George Washhigton did, but that It took a sin- gular departure from constitutional modes to muke that vote good, and that he was not only entitled to the vores of the threo Southern States which he got, but THHEE MOR SOUTHERN STATES, of which he was deprived by bulldozing Demo- crats. (Applause, | The Chuir—Tho Sergeant-at-Arms will see that thy Doorkeevers take {nto custody any persons fh the gallerics violating the rules, Mr, Eaton evil he could make no argument, upon the belict of his friend from Matne (Btalne). Hiy own belief was that 800,000 majority of the i ro defrauded out of the result of on. jonest election for President. ‘The gentleman slates that the Potter Committee was organized: to hunt for evidence of that fraud. Dara he say thatif such evidence was found Hayea ought not be removed? Mr. Blainu—The Senator a while ago alleged that the President held his scat by fraud, Now he does not know whether the Comimittce could tind evidence of the fraud, : Mr, Eaton—{ have evidence sufticiont for me. Mr. Blaluu then remarked that the dectsion of tho Electoral Commission was tinal and conclu. sive, and wus so accepted by the people, and it was an unpatriotic courses on the part of the Democracy to seek to ulaturd that settlement. ‘They bad agreed upon the tribunal which de- cided againat them, unc it was, in bie view, dis- an and | honoralile wo refuse compliance with the terms of thut settlement, MR.

Jt was tmportant that the real truth be stated on this question. The charge of a revolutionary purpose made against the Democracy by the clr cular was denounced by the Senator from Conneeticnt ton) as false, whereupon the Senator from Malne (Blaine) came to the rescue of the document, und charged there wits suct revolutionary intent, and to sustain hia general charec he apeettics the Potter resulution as hay- ing that. ultertor meaning. Mr. Hilt claimed that the Seuator from Maine was as fneaorrect [i Dis stutcincnt os was the Socretary of the San nte in his, and he could produce enough faet to bear out his charze. No person ot the Damo- cratle party ever lutended under any contingency nrevolutionery inovement for the expulsion of the President. When the Electoral Commiseton DIL wus passed, it contained # proyislon as fol- jus: See. 6. That nothing tn thle et mhall be held to {nipatr or affect any rleht now existing under the Constitution and lawa to question by prucecalngs in the Judicial courts of the United States thy rightor title of the person who shall be dectared elected, of who shall clalin to he Prealdeut or Vico- Frenident, if any euch ight exist, This fs n provision of the act of Congrens ca- tablishing the Electoral Commission, Jt was embodied there in view of the apprebension that the Commission would, og they In fact did, refuse to took futo and investigate the allegec fraude jn Lontsiann and Florida, and that the result of their labora would be a declaration of ‘one of the claimants as President without an examination into the testimony regarding the tnerita of the case. It was adopted that THE DOORS MIGHT HE LRET OPEN In such case to the proper judielal Investigation which should bring out the facts, ‘That there was ground for this bellef that the courts of the country would finve jurisdiction is manifest from the fact that learned gentlemen aud dis- Unguished statesmen un buth sides of both Chambers Incorporated the provision fn the Electoral Commission bill reserving all right to reopen this question and have It {nvestt- gated before the judictal tribuuals uf the cou try. Some of the most able lawyers believe that by proper proceedings the Supreme Court “can get jurisdiction to investigate this question, It was on that principle that the Legislature of Maryland passed a memorlat to Congress demaniling that procecdiuza of this nature be inaugurated. Some of the must dis- tngutshed Republican bewyers of the country hold that It would be perfectly proper in a competent proceeding for the Supreme Court to reupen und determine thts case upon its merits, Every yventleman of his (tills) ace Suatneaice, every prominent Deinovrat of the nited States, who desices to Inveatizate this question at all. desires todo so in the courts and under the encouragement and authority of the Electoral Jaw. Was this revolutionary! Whether that proceeding before ihe courts should be Inougurated or not, would depend uoon the reliable evidence that should he obtained in the case, Therefore all sectlous of the Democratle party were willl to have an Investigation to obtaln the reul facts. ‘There were Republicans ox well us Democrats fn the country who, if the facts should thor- oughly establish the illegality uf the ttle of the Presidential incumbent tothe Presidency. and if tt should apnear that the Supreme Court had authority tu investigate the subject, were IN PAVOR OF SUCIE INVESTIGATION, Mr. Hill denied that the Democratic party had ever announced a revolutionary purpose looking to the expulsion of the President. It had never been announced In Lezistatures, Con- veutions, or in Congress. To teil the candid fact, ho always believed that the gentlemen ralsed the ery of revolution to prevent inveatigation. Mr. Blaine, tu reply toa vortion of Hill's ri marks, read from the decision of the Speaker of the House at the time the Potter reeolution was introduced to show that the investigation in- volved the occupancy of the Prealdenttal cbair. Mr. Hill inquired’ whether any law had been assed subsequent to the Electoral Cunnnission lw which gaye partics the richt to legally test. the question of the Presidency?

Lask, Do you hold that the ap- pointment of a committee to make an in- yestization is a revolutionary movement?

Mr. Hill—Is the appointment of a committce revoluttunary ? Mr. Binine—Don't be cifidish, Mr. Hill—Woas your resolution for the appo!nt- ment of the Teller Committee revolutionary? Mr. Blaine—No. We wanted to find out low persons hod been doprived of thelr rights, 1 assume that the object of the Electoral bill was. {hat if there was any wrong there might be a just remedy, ‘hot contemplated only julien! action before the Court. ‘The Democratic arty amt friends of Tilden never wanted u remedy, but organ- ize weumunittee of the side which had no con- neetion with it. ‘The Democrats hari startling witnesses, aut bad been coaching them in order that the country might be treated to their revelations, but 1T DID NOT PAN OUT WELL. It rather missed tire, and, votwithatanding the decision of the Speaker as to the charactor of the resolution, whick, under his construction, nwant revolution, the Democrats resolved sub- sequently that it did not mean any such hing.
