Bpecial Dispateh to The Chicage Tribune. Wastiseros, D, C.. March 25.—Senator Mahone hind a great audience for his speech to-day, and was listened to with marked at- tention for more than three hours. The day was beautiful, the speeeh had been snnoune ced for some thne, und there was great ine terest to hear what the new Senator had to say in reply to the general attacks that had been made upon him, and In ndvocacy or do- " fense of the mew party In Virginin, which, somo think, Is to prepare the way: for n mow order’ of things {n the -South. No specch for years has at- tracted a greater nndience. Defore 10 o'clock even the carridors wers packed, and a few | minutes after 10:30, when the gallery-doors were opened, every avallable seat save two - or thres was filled with an eager, curlous crowd, : EVERY INCII OF STANDING-ROOM - was ocenpled, and for an hour before the., thae fixed for the assembling of the Senate, 12 o’clock, the outer edges ot the pnoked gal- lerles were fringod with o mnss "of people :. standing and waltlng for what promised to . be n great event, The diplomatic gallery was notfilled as carly, as none but the priv- ileged few enn gmln adinission .to 1t, but that, also, wns crowded earlier than usual, ourlosity having even oxtended to the somes what blasé Diplomatic Corps. Among the more conspicuous of the forelgn diplomats vresent were Str-Edward ‘Thornton, tho Dean of the Corps, the Austrinn and Danish Minis- . ters, the Japaneso Minkstor, many fudies ‘of the Legatlons, and a great munberof attachds, ordered, doubtless, to try thelr skilled or - amatenr hands at dispateh-writing, Mrs. Seeretary Blaine, very properly, was also ac- corded o seat among the diplomats. In the Senators’ galleries there were two long benehes reserved. One of these I3 generally set upart for tho family of the President. The purpose for which tho othor wns kept dkl not ut first appear, but suou, throngh doors that were closed to others, Mrs. Knte Sprague entered with o considerable fumily rotiuue, nnd occupled u portion of the seats reserved by the colored niessenger n attendance, Sho was searcely less the centre of attruetlon before the houwr of 13 than afterwards wus the little glant® from Virginin hhwself.

Her face Is thinner, and there nre * 1lnes of pain and sadness upon it. Her eyes, onco wonderful for thelr brightness, hnve lost somothing of thelr lustre, aud there was n subdued and quiet air about her which was not witnessed in her wore fortunate days. Yot the face, and the, form and carrlage, . which have marked her among the most noted of Washington suclety Indles for years make her stilt a central figure, an objeet of great Interest jn the galleries, and a person to whom hundwgls of curious eyes turn. - Noted. peoplo belonging to all rankssnnud grades, and clnsses of Washington’s pecullar, multiforin soclety were present ln the gullerles and upon | tho floor.

On tho Democrntic side, the desire to be courteous to the curious, and to thosy entltled to the courtesies of the Cinm- ber, seemed to be restralned by sn unwilling- * ness to do honor to the political Samson | who, perhaps, 18 about to bring down the rouf. of the tewmple upon DBour- bon heads. But this feeling, it it existed, soon gave way to the great press- - ure, and the floor of the Seunte was s oc- + cupled with additionul chalrs that the swift pages could searcely mnke thelr way, while the Senators themsclves were greatly * erowded, The Supreme Bench was present | in n body, having adjourned on account of the funeral in the family of Justice Fleld, ) BEN MILL, returned from his week’s absence, smiling as 1f enger fur the threatened castigation which did not come.
