In one case the Democratic yiltago Postmaster wrote direvtly to Washburn offering to sell bis voto fur 850; Washburn, through a friend, answered tho letter, thanking him for his offer, and sent a friend to him to pay tho monoy. In anothor case ninety woodchoppers who were not. legal voters were paid $2 each to vote for Wash- burn, and tha money was repaid by Wash- burn’s businogs-munager, in wnothor case a Dermvcratle speaker whe had been advocuting Donnelly waa announced to make a Democratic spoech tho night before election; ho mudo a spevel for Washburn, and told th NE MAD RECELVED ys $150 of Washburn's monoy for doing so.

YESTEIDAY'S DENATE. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Wasninaton, D. C., March 18.—Tho political debate which the more conservative Democrats nasured tholr assoclates would be certain to fol- low an attempt to refuse approprintions for Speeinal Deputy Marshals, and which was begun with Garticld's speech yesterday, wus continued in the House to-day. Tho importance which the Republicans attach to this debate 9s a cume palgn measure Js, perhaps, illustrated by tho fact that the Republican Campaign Committce to-day ordered from tha Government Printing- Ollice nn edition of 100,000 copica of Gurficld's specch. To-day tho debate’ was noted for speeches of great power, but the proceedings were acecotnpunied by man- ifestations of intense purtisan feeling. Tho iirst tuple was the consideration of the amend- iment approprinting $6,600,000 for arrears of pon- sions. MeMuhon, a War Democrat, whom Horr, of Michigan, tho new humorist, suid was com- pelled to stuy at homo during the War to watch the rascals fn Ohlo, hos 0 xreat den! to say in support of the approprintion of this vast sum, churactorizing {t us a tered debt due to the Union soldiors,and be arraigned Reugin, ex- Postmaster-General of the Confederacy, for in- sisting that BUCH AN APPROPRIATION ought not to bo made unless nt tho seme timo tho pensioners dropped from the roll during the War for disloyalty;should be restored. ‘The av- proprintion’ wus finally made, and the Hebel soldiers wore teft out, [twas made to appear in the debate thut twelve of these pensioners who wore dropped from tho rolls on account of dis- Joyalty, and who were restored upon thelr own declarations under oath that they had been loyal, were found to have been disloyal, thelr cominisstons in the Confederate army having been discovered in tho Hebel archives.. When tho parigraph relative to the payment of £000,000 for United States Marshals and tholr deputics was reached an animated debate began, Hiscock, of New York, moved so insert the words “and speoini,” go that without increasing tho nppropriations Speclat Deputies, could be putd. Upon thls proposition tho Democrats made tholr Nght, and fn somo. meéugure the old issues of the extra seasion—“ That reereant, ernzy extra session," as Garileld termed it— wore fought over again, The Demoerits suc- voeded jn having ruled -in order, too, an umend- ment providing that herenfter SPECIAL DEPUTIEG AND GENERAL DEPUTIES, while performing duties in reference to elece tions, shall receive $2 w day, and ‘sall be up- pointed by the Judge of the Cirvult or: District Court whero the clsotion iy hold, not. less than two or more than three appointments to be made for any’ precinct, and the persons ap- pointed to be of dlferent polltieal purtles, of good churucter, able to read and write tho Hugligh language, and residenta of the voting recinet. ‘This is substantially anew clectlon huw, anid fs practically identical with a svheme which hus been cluborated by Springer’s Elec. tlon Committee, and which was to be presented w the House dn oa separate Dill, notwithstanding: Howover, the point of the Republicnns, that under tho new rule such Amousure did iat seem to bo gerinune, the Chulrmun ruled {tin order, and the Democrats, of couric, to-iuorrow, whet thos vote upan tte will incorporate ft in tho Doticiency Lill, This will furnish the Senate Republlenns a very broad text for a ener palitieal debite, a text whieh undoubtedly will bu haproved. No more Ingenious plan could have been arranged for providing for tt potitien! debate in the Senate on this urgent Deficioney DIL bad the inost skillful parliamentarians of both partics united to pre- pure one, THIS AMENDMENT, Jf it is debated with the lutitude of tho Houso, will Insure in tho Benuto a discussion hivolving not only the [ssties of tho oxtra session, buta consideration of the recont decision of the United States Supreme Court. A stranger in tho gallery to-day would have nased sone curlous comments upon Aimoricnn institutions hid he hoard Sauuei Cox denounce tho Court of the land asa “packed Court’; de: chire that its “decisions werg unworthy of consideration; that * Congress ought not to be subordinated to thom”: and obsurved that suntimionts of this sort wore Jondly applauded on the Democrutio side, One phrase in the Springer amondment gave riso to 4 vory cx- elting aud amusing debate in which tho for: ONelti, of Philndelphin, and Speaker Randall were tho principal purticipunts, Conger had Ine sisted that tho provision of the Sprit ramend- ment which Foquirad tho Special Deputtea to be nbleto read the English lunguago was nly atthe Germans who might not be able to ren it, to which MeMuhon, haviug churge ef tho DILL, sald that the proviston was Intended ouly to apply to 3 IGNORANT CITIES LIKE PIILADELPHTA, whore Special Deputy Marshals are likely to bo low characters. Churley O'Neill instantly spran, up, bubbling with passion, to the defense oF whut he called "tho honor of Philadelphia.” Ho denounced tho impited assault upor bis city, aud, referring to the Inainuations of MeMuhon, auld’ that tho recont confirmation of Marshal Kearns by the wuuniinous vote of tho Sonate wus suflleiont to refute such landers. At this Speaker Handall said that tho contirmation of Koarnug was mude over his written. protest, Then followed for a few moments a scene of great confusion and paasion. O'Neill stormed and raved in the area in front of the Spuaker’s derek, and ahonted until he was hourse and red in the face, Speaker Randall and Sparks mean- while endeavoring to tuke part in the sumo une imuted colloquy. Thu subjuct goes over until tuemorraw. ‘Tho Indications at the close of the Houso de- bate were thut tho Springer proposition would form tho busls of n settlomont, Prominent Democrats say that thoy will not refuse appro- penton to enforco tho Election laws slice thoy have been pronounced valid by the Supreme Court, whilo Ropublicans will probably oppose. the proposed sottlument ‘on the ground that it units the number of Marshals so #4 to prevent: thelr efliciency, It ia not expected that tho Pres- ddent will decline to sign a bill containing tho provisions indlcuted.

They gave certiticates for the valuc of inproye- menta mado by the squatters, and placed tho property in the hands of n Superintendent.
