March 24.—The Re- publicans to-day attempted co proceed with the organization of the Senate by the election of the officers, and were met by the Demo- cratgat every step with fi[busterIng mo- tluns. ‘The result was that, after four hours of debate, the Senate adjourned, leaving the question where it was at te beginning, The day's debate seems to have pretty clearly shown two facts,—first, that the Republicans are agreed that they will insist upon the or- ganization of the Senate in necordance with the constitutional umjority; second, that the Democrats will undoubtediy resist this effort, and to that end will resort. to fillbustering expedlents for a period not yet possible to name, but which one of the inost radlen) of their speakers to-day declared would be December next, the perlod when, by cunstitutional Imitation, this session must expire. ‘TUR REPUBLICANS IN CAUCUS were not fully agreed as to the policy of at- tempting to foree the election of thesv oflicers before the regular session, but the few who opposed this surrendered thelr views to the oplufons of the overwhelming majority, and will act heartily with thelr as- soclates until the object Is acecom- plished, That the Republicans will ul- thnately be ‘successful there can be no dtoubt, unless death shall reduce thelr nutn- ber, or some unexpected result shall cause them to loge ‘heir present slender constlti- tional majority of one. But whether the ehange enn be effected at present ls a. ques- thon of some doubt. ‘The Republicans, how- ever, If the talk of the clonk-rvoms Is to be taken as an Indication of thelr probable pub- He nets, are not disposed to allow any con- siderable business ot tho executlvo session to be accomplished ntl] the Senate shull be or- ganized, There Is no reason, they say, why, havlug control of and responsipliity for the Committers, they should not, in liko manner, have the disposal of the sub- ordluate ofices, for tha incumbents of which, being the constitutional majority, they must be responsible. NOTHING 18 KNOWN oF THE PURPOSE beyond tho decision of thelr caucus of this morning. ‘That decision was thut they would oppose by every possible expedient all attempts to remove the present Democratle oftlicers and to appoint those supported by the Republilean caucus, ‘The the fixed by one of tho members of the caucus us the the when the Democrats would abandon this contest vas the crack of doom. Bombastic declarations of this sort ara always common at the beginning of filibustering contests, but generally It proves truw that after the physical contest has continued for some duys the majority ultimately controls, Sul, the Democrats are very resolute, Some of the Republicans are a little half-hearted, and agreut many of them are very anxtous that tho Senate stiall adjourn as soon as possible, ‘fhe Now York nomination of yesterday which wns so offensive to the New York Sen- ators has introduced a now elument into the controversy, and it was noticed to-day that ROSCOK CONKLING was not tho leader of the movement in favor of the Republican candidates, as it had been extmcted that he would be, Ho remained allent in his seat, and ft was plain to seu that he for one just now did not eare to excite any Democratic antagonism. Hoe ts very skilltul at a stilt hunt, and In hits great cone tests hus never falled to secure eMelent Dem- ovratic support. Ile expects to do so now. ‘The Republicans were subjected to sonie crit- iclsm by tho Democrats owlng to the fact thot they had presentod as thelr caucus nom- ines for Sergennt-at-Arms Niddiebarger, of Virginia, an ex-Confedorate soldior and s Neadjuster, and some sharp things were attempted to be sald in setting forth tho supposed Inconsistencies of this position, Butthe sharp sayings on the Democratic sido were for the most part confined to at tempts, She effort seemed to be to given Jocose turn to tho fibusterlng movement, but the joculurlty was of the cluinslest kind, ‘There were few notable incidents In the do- bate. Maxey endeavored to be awkwardly facatious, and characterized Georges Gorham, polltleally, ina ‘Pexas phrase, asa“ piteh- ing mustang.” Pendleton, with a great show of respect for the decorum and dignity ot the Senate, announced that tho Demo crats proposed to tibuster nut! doomsday, DAVID DAVIS, OF ILLINOTS, was very restive, He looked down uneasily and uncertaln from tly plave upon the fence. Conerally he voted aguinst filibustering, and saved the Vieow-Preslilent from the necessity of glving the ensting vote, Ouce or twice he yoted with the Democrats on dilatory mo- tlons, and, finally, weary of the contest, ho dlsappearod In the cloak-room. Garland took the most rational position of any of the Dem- ocrats, Jo sald that, while heshould do his Uuttnost at thls session to provent a chunge of oflleers from reason of what he culled DEMOCRATIC justice’ to tha present holders of these positions, he should not at) the reguiar ses- fon oppose it change, Gov. Brown, of reli, valle himself of the opportunity to demonstrate tat the claim that he ds an Independent in polltles will not be fulfilled, div took the most advanced ground of Bour- bonlsm to-day, but was once somewhat em- barrassed hy a sharp thrust from Logan, who called ttrpon hin to define hts positlon, and reminded hin of the fact that he (Lo ein) had met hin at the Republlean Conven- tion in Chleago when Grant was nominated, and that Brown there made Hepublican speech and voted for Grant for President. MOST STRIKING PASSAGE vate was that tn whieh Senator lloay, with the earnestuess for whieh ot oc- casions he fx noted, rose and, In reply to the statement of Brown that the .
