TR DEBATE, 70 the Weatern Associnted Presh, Wasutyatos, D, G, Mareh 14.—Senators MeDili, of Iowa, aud Cameron, of Wisconsin, ook the oath of oftice. Mr. Pendleton eatled up the resolution previously offered by him ruintive fo the reorganization of tho Senate convitices. On wotion of Mr. Alllson that the Senate ®o {nto exceutive session, the Demacrats op posed and the Itepublicans favored it, ‘The yeas and nays were called, and Mahone voted nye with the Republicans, whieh eres ated a profound sensation and was followed by applause i the gallerles, This yote Is re- garded s conclusive of Mahoue's intention to voto with the Itepubllieans throughont. The motion was rejected,—yens, 353 unys, 37 MIt. PENDLETON made o brief speceh regarding the varions * rutiors atloat concerning the organization of the Senate. He did not know what arrange- ments or proffers or suggestlons had been made or accepted, but the omnipresent and omulsclent gentlenien of the press had whis- pered abont the Capltol and had put it into thelr newspapers, that thefr had been un- usual and extraordinary visits to the other énd of the avenue, and they had conneeted the name of n |Ils|l|!gll(5hl5(| Senntor with the dispensation of Federal patronnge and the organization of the Senate, 1thad been witlespread that there had been conferences u the Capitol in which champagne and sit- tstaction had been equally present, nnd tese, 100, hid heen connected with Lhe statements s to the oranization of the Senute. e did not know what proof there could be for those suggestions, but_they had filled the nir for the Inst few days, The imputation which hiad beeh east on the Demoeratle” member of the Senate was withous foundation in fact. Thisattempt to organize the Sennte was an honest attempt to do a great public duty,—u duty enjoincd by the Constitution, by the tules of the Sennte, nnd by n preriotic desire to execute speedily, and properiy. and intelil- gently that business for which a I'resi- J;nt. elected Ly the Republiean xmrli'. lind chosen, had convened the Senate, 1t wna an effort to dischurze a publle duty, a fallure to do which would subject the Dem- ocratic members of the Senate to the merited entleisms of the country for belng willing to aralyze one great body of the State, either Ev reason of hinbecllity” or smnulhlm:1 WOrse. Ho mgued that the working machinery of the Senate wus incomplets without the for- mation of the committees, Never had an extra sesslon of the Senate Insted untll the 14th of March without committees having been organized. 'Fhe Democratie Senators were now met with o proposition that if they mihber of the votes of the Senutors who were here present, equal lo the vacaneles which existed in this body, and pair their aetive Senators with gentlemen who were NOT ELECTED AND MIGHT NOT BE, Ahen the duty of orzanizing the Senate might be performed, ‘The Democratie majority aad sonught to fultill its duty by organlzing the Senate. . This was the foundation for the Twmputation that it was sefzlng with "undue hasteand wrongful spirit on the powers which the organization of the Senate gave, Ithad been met first by obstruction, next by points of order, and_now by u proposition whicli wns uuparalleled Jiw the history of this Congress or any other leglslative body of which lig had ever heard, 1t was uot for him to say, at this moment, how that propo- sition should be received, but ho would say it was a most. extraordinary one, calenlated to form ndangerous precedent, ‘T'hls propo- gition to establish a system of pairing netive Senators with men who had not been elected would awaken appreliension. + I it should be accepted herentter, he, for one, here and now eutered his most solemn warning, In or- der that it might not grow Into a precedent. s Mit, BAYARD - - called attention to the fact that the Senate had been convened by n Republican Presl- dcnbnct at the request or representation of .the Democratie members of this body.. The President hind performed the functions of his n&lce, and had sent in his nominations, would withhold * Promptly, without hesitatlon, the Sennte had continnéd the Cabinet appointmients, but other nominations hind been sent to the Sen- ate and should be acted upon. 1f the Repub- leans could show that they had nmnajorit the Democrats would readily, without hesi- tatlon, without filibustering, hand over tho power which Lhe(y hud_excrcised for two years, 1o hoped the Republicans woulkl Tot think so badly of their Democratic col- leagues as to say they were chattering about the organizatlun of that body for'a few poor days or weeks, What hud they to gain Tromthe control of tha Senate for thie noxt ten doys? Money? Not a farthing, Power? None butto coifirin the nowminutions of n Republican President. Referring to tho Pproposition that Democrats should withhold a number of votes equal: to the number of wveeant sents on the Republlean slde, ha thought it rather dangerous to streteh the Tules of comity 50 ns to ngres tn count ns anembers persons who are not and may never Do members. - MI. CONKLING then took the floor. A Irenchman had written that e accuses who excuses.” ‘Who had east any imputation upon the Senue tor from Olilu (Pendleton) or upon any other Senator? ‘That gentleman appenrs to “ he tleelng where no man pursueth,” lie must think that . speesh had been made for “effect beyond the galleries of this chamber, ~ They needed no vindication here, 1t must, therefore, be elther beenuse of o feelimgz that some ex- planation” of what hud been dong was Teeded, or;because of - feellng that-somo fmpression inlght be made on the country by such o discourse as the gentleman’s, that the Senutors on the other sidy were moved to justify positions which had not been assalled, Ho reterred to the Democratle enyeus as an ecamenical council, which, at last, wearled of the nyu-suon a8 to how the Andependent pnrty of the Senats was to bo cnptivated, had becomo wear, the jachinery which wasto foreo the gentle- man from fll nols (Davis), to walk by the awheel of the Demacratia churlot, Affer 1t Mad exhausted the resources of statesmane ship, It camo In with o report which was defectlvo In’ some regards, For instincs, it had put both Senators trom Ohio on the Judlclary Committee, Iu order that that fm\t Sfuto might not only be u land of aw, but the Inw of the land. 1t sewmed to him that nothlng could be more unwar- Tantable, more Incking In mlllt{. or more seans of propriety, than for the Republicans 1o consent to the orgaulzation of the Senote, to the end that that organwzation might bo coverturned Wednesday or 'FPhursday noxt. 1t sevined to him that such @ pro ufledlnfi wotld be not only beside the purpose, bt Laneatho the dignity of the Seunte, 1le mixhit suy, in Teply to tho gentleman from Ohlo, that the suggestion us to withholding votes had NOT ORIGINATED ON THE REPUBLICAN BIDE, but had’ como from n Douecrntic Senator who was anble to vindieate for himself the Judgoent e hind formed, Whon the gentle- an from Ohlo shouid read tha speeeh he had Just made fn the Xeeord, ho woulid Lo likely to remark thut the Democratic party and the needs of this acension could be rescued fromn destruction without kol so far, ‘Fhe Senutor had talked about the mecthis which beon hold by the Senators in tha Copltol, at =which chuipagno and satisfaction hud been the argunents employed, 1o Liud no knowl- edge nnus':lcluu n$ to what the Senator re- Terred, but it must indeed bo o flagrant In- stance which would bring the Senator to his Teet to make the comment, Huo (Conkling) Kknew of no meethig, cither I the Capltol or at suy maw’s dinner-tables, where elther @ champagne or satistaction (still less hoth of hem hunting in couples) had I\Fuunrmlln uny sense, 1 councetion with this subject, 1? might be dge to yarlous constderationsthat the Senntor Bhould not put atloat vague und somswhut njurlons statenents, 1o thought the Senator would probably sev fit, at inst, to 1ix some Hmlt, If nol sowe qualiflcation, to such a remark us he hid mado, —1lo trusted the Democraty would allow the Sen- ate to go Quto oxeeutive session, or Wwithhold “two votes on the question, of orgunization. {t wauld bo immensurably more to thelr satlsfaetion atterwards it they lrulsuml that course than it thuy proceeded I of arranging 0 e method guits beside the pitrpose,—not Blkelg'nw z’m\‘u lmm‘:] und not lkely (i: pri- TV he chiaracter, decoru, und prestige ol the Senute, s presmseil AMlr.
