C, March 20,—The Sen- ate spent another day In & debate which for the most part was purposeless, except to kill thue. The leaders of neither party nreableto express an opinfon as to the probable day or week when the dendlock will end, There were some ominous Inthnations on the Dem- ocratie sldo to-duy that Decenber would stilt find the Republieans vainly attempting to olect the ofticers. There were nlso Inthmations, by the Demoerats that, at the regular ses- slon, the Democratic opposition would end. I'ne Demoerats by these ndmisslons ncknowls edge that the position whieh they oceupy s untenable, and that the filibustering contest | which they are foreing Is only made In order to continue for some months snlarles to n few men as oflicers who nre not the chofee of the constitutional majority of the Senate, Indeed, such lenders as Bayard aud Beck Jiave deelared that, in their judgment, the respousible constitutional mujority In the Senate should appolnt the oflicers. The Ite- publicans are not neglecting to avail them- selves of THE POLITICAL ADVANTAGES offered by the debate. Mr. Mulione's speech of yesterday has alrendy accomplished at least one of the purposes for which it wns delivered. It dms placed the Democratic party In the South upon the defensive, rud to-day, une by one, the Representatives from the repudinting Stutes songht the fluor to explain, us well as they might, the serlous charges made by Mahone yesterduy,—that thoy are the repudiatprs of the South, To the discredit of these gentle- men it may be stated that they very generally Justified this repudiation, and dlu so with some scornful comments asto carpel-bug rule. TUE SPEKCHES OF TO-DAY were mostly without faterest. Joins, formerly from Quiney, L, now from Loulslann, in feeoly-contemptuous terms upbralded certaln Demoeratic Senators -who voted last yenr to sent Mr. Kellog, and, with, great audaeity, declared. that Louisiana had but one Senator upon the floor, and that the State, though grieving, was resigned, Mr, Kellogg, who Is recog- nized by the United States, If not by the gen- tleman formerly from Quiney, ns Scnator from Loulsiaun, happens to be Chairman of the Committeo on Rallronds. Mr. Jonns has no commitice. Mr, Jonns seems to have great facility 1 making himsetf ridleulous, Mr, Groome, of Maryland, made n specch, The greatest hupression was at the be- glnning, when he produced n thick plle of manuseript, which cleared the gullerles, lle had proceeded a fow lines only In arralgning the Republicans on the churge of turning out committeo clerks, when, after ungracious dissent, he was COMPELLED TO 5TOP, while four old Democratie Chulrmen, at the reguest of the present Republican Chalrman, stated that It was not trus that the Demo- cratic clerks hnd been removed; that, on the contrary, they had been reappointed by the Republicans, and Mr, Pendleton, of Ohilo, was courteous cnough to sny that Mr, Hale, of Maing, the new Chalrman of the Census Committee, hud left Mr. Vendleton in full possession of the room, with the clerk, if r. Grootne sald anythiug wore 1t attructed no attentlon, GOV, BROWYN, OF GEOROIA, made the speech of theday. It was ealm, philosophical, humorous, but it was murred by nconrseness of illustration which pur- haps 1s withiout parallel in the Sanate Cham- ber, "Tothealrof u parson and the druwl and phrase of the camp-meeting he added the slung of the burroum, Hu tried to unswer Buceessively the polnts of Mahonu's speech, e could not nuswer the charge of repudin. tion made agrinst the Southern Bourbuns, Ile slmply justificd the repudiation of the Reconstruction debt. After such adnils- slons as that, It would net seem to lle in the mouth of the Georgin Sunators to arralgn the Virginia Readfusters on uny charges of Ropudintion.

RENATE, Wasuixaros, 1), C,, March 29, —Imme- dintely after readuyg the Journal, the resolus tlon for tho election of oflleers of the Senato was ealled up, Mr. Johnson stated that ho had intended to reply to the speech of his collongue deblv- ered yesterday, but as it did not appeatin tho Reeord thls mornine, and, as ho dld not wish to misrepresent hils cotleaguw, he would post- pong his reply until e could hive nn oppor- tunity to read that speceh, it HAMPTON denfed the statement made yesterday by Mahono that the Demoeratic party had re- pudiated the debt of South Caroling, nssert- Ing that If thers had been repudiation it had been-when the State was under the control of the party with which tho gentlemnn was now acthng. The Democrats opposed the proposed netlon beeause it would “break the estabhished precedent and establisha bad onos beenuse tho Semate had been enlled here for exceutlve business, and, abova all, beeause gravo suspicions had taken hold of tho public mind, ‘This nctlon was the result of unnatural eonlition and corrupt bargnins. The Senntor from Virginin (Mahone) dis- claimal that he had been moved by any e vure consideratiou, Heo congratulated that gontloman, and would say to him, in all frankness, that he would strengthen hls po- aitlon before the conntey If he would show what consideration moved him, The sus- pleion might bu groundless, but it wns dusto tho roputation of this body that it should be proved beyond all doubt to Le unfountded.

Let Republleans organizen committee with full power to ascertain the truth and falsity of the rumors which were spreading unchallenged throughout the country, Let 1t find ont whether uny voto in this Chamber had Leon CONTHOLLED BY TI[E PROMISE of place or patvonage. Lf the damnbiyg charge wero proved untrue, stainp out tho eal- umny at once wnd forever, 1t true, the Congtitution gave prompt and ample redress. 1t would not de to let this foul susplelon, this buse imputation, o tu the world uncon- tradicted, 1t was known whatsuch a chargo could efteet, for It was known what it had effected when John Randolph had denounced what e had supposed to be o coulitlon be- tween Clay and Adams, It had defeated Adams for the Prestideney, and had blighted Clay’s nspirations, It was true the charge had been unjust. Clay had risked his ifo to vindicate bis honor, and Ramdelph had sub- sequently made the aiende honorable, For the guke of this body he did not wish to see one suspleion or. fmputation rest on its falr fame. For that reason ho did not wish to sea any hnmedinte actlon taken on the reso Iutlon of the Senator from Massachusetts (Dawes). He referred to the mugnanimous action of the Democratle majority nt the lust Congress in_ permitting the Senator from Loulsiana (Kellogg) to vetain his seat in this body, » IT NOW APPEARDD that that Senatorand the Senutor from Vir- ginin (Mahone)—not onty the leaders, but the masters of the Republican party—had “elasped hands neross the bluody chasm,? and were elamoring for * the old flug and un appropristion® e symputhized with the good old State of Viegiuln for spenking In this Chamber with o donbtful volew, but he conld nat, would not, dare not, doubt that fts true volee would soon be heard in unwls- takable tones, declaring for the maintennneo of Its public plighted falth and political in- tegnty. A motlon to go Into executlve sesslon was lost—yens, 275 nayy, 48, Mit, BROWN, regretting that Mr. Malione’s speech hind not been printed in the Record, proceeded to reply to some portions of It. Quo of the points dwelt on by tho gentleman with the greatest satlsfuction was that dlssectiyg his (Brown's) record, The gentlemut had seen proper to bring that record before the country, and had ‘xrnmzl)' misrepresented 1t, The gentlemnn had eharged him with incon- sisteney, 1o admitted that the position he now oceupled upon cortaln guestions wis not the position he it occupled at the begin- ning of ‘the war Kiown as the War of the Rebellion, e had Afnuu into that contest to mintal very and State soverelgnty, 1o had sineerely betioved he was'right in both, The War, however, had settled both ques- tions.
