. Johunson, IE CHICAGO TRIBUN enough to owit one of thestrongest passaces I i, In which the corruption of the Tweed Judictary was deseribed, With a tremen- dous deamatle huyst, and Southern phrase and necent, Mr. Tamar, when reelting from this phillipie, exelaimeds “Mighty God, sir! Hsten at this! Asheeited: * 1 have heard that suspicion haunts the footsteps of the trusted compantons of the President.” La- mar boasted that corruption has ceased to surround the halls of Congress, since the duys of Demoeratle restoration, and Insisted that the lobbyist’s occupatlon was gone, quoting as pronf the words of an ald lobby-+ ‘jsts ©My Qod, sir! Do you expeet that the lobby ean live upon 0X- yren?” Mr. Lamar could not make an Interesting spoech, But it may surprise the North to know that he can make an-ag- gressive Bourbon speech, Rhetorie, and Joule, and cloguence were in it Bat {5 1s o speech from which those who have looked for progress in that quarter can takeé no nope. After denouncing the Republican Senators ns nllles of repudintors, he stated he had snld nothing to stir up strife. SENATOI HOAR replled, not only in the name of Massnehu- _setts, but for the loyal North, and turned the {ables upon Mr. Lamar for his repudiation charges, showing that Misstssippl, as enrly ns 1842, commenced the work of repudiation, and Introduced the name Into the fiuancial history of this country by repudiating n debt of §21,000,000 nnd reduelng it by {hat aet to less than half of 21,000,000, Mo showed the fusineerity of the clalm that Malone Isa repudiator, and that the Virginia Bourbons are debt-payes, by the declaration that the Virginin Bourbons voted to pay all the debt, yet, for eight years, have leviod no taxto even pay (e Interest upon any of it. Mr. Monr concluded with = sentlment thpt will be cchoed by Northern Itepublicnns everywhere, Ite- plying to the declarationi ot Lamar that tho Ttepublieans hnve an unconquerable hntred for the Sonth, Mr. Iioar snid: * It i3 not the South, 1t Is tyranny, 1t is not the South, it 1s fraud und assasination. It s not the South, it I3 the Bourhon Democracy, with its spirlt of rebellion,—ngainst which the gentlemen on the othier side must understand that sur undylug warfare Is to be waged.” GEORGE AND DAWES, Mr. Dawes, by some sharp attacks upon Mississippl, brought to his feet the now Sen- ator from that State, George, the successor of Druce, who rallied to the resene of his State, owlug to the Tuability of Mr. Lamar from Hnessto proceed. Mr, George i3 evl- dently a'man of much ability, but is not’ ac- customéd to tho forum. 1lis manner of speaking Is more eharacteristic of tho churt- room. lie Is plainly restive nt the faet that he s to be made o target of attnek If this debate shall eontinue. e was Chafrman of he Misslssippl Democratic Committee in the troublesome tlmes of 1 and Is, charged by some with being THE AUTHOR OF ''THE MISSISSIPPE PLAN." Ben it forgetting the statement of the other day, that tha Democratic defeat last November was dug 1o the fact that hie was naf born duwnb, rehearsed for unother hour his platitudes upon Southern virtue. Gen. Logan made an earnest and cloquent speech, in which he warned tho Southern men that they Invited thelr volltieal ruin by raising the old Jssue of the War., ‘That they Bad ralsed this lssue fn this contest ho clearly showed, aond dwelt with great force upon the report of Gen.

DRAMATIC INCIDENT OF THE DAY was the passage between Voorhees and Ma- hone. It was short, but certainly, so faras the Virzinle Senator was concerned, was full of menntiz, Opinions will differ ns to the propriety of Mahone's taking offense nt Vaorhees, for the Iatter at first was disposed notto Indorse the opurobloits phirase as his own, This disclalmer Mahone did not clearly hear nor fully understand, hut Voor- subsequent speech and actlon wora ex- tremely offenslve. In response to Mahone's calim Interrogatory whether he Indorsed the words *renegado Democrat” as part of his speeeh, Voorhees sald, with a defignt alr, o sheering tone, aud a contemptuous gesture: *1 Indorse every sentiment and woridl In that artiele, L make It my specch. 1 indorse thy word'* Renegnae * in it, 1 Indorse overy erlt- felsm on the course of the Senator from Vir- glula. 1o need waste no time In putting words Into wy mouth, 1le suld this must stop.

Alluding to the remurk of Ay Hoar, that the announce- went on the Demoeratle sido that it would meet endurance with endurancs contalned the very essence of treason aml revolution, ‘ ho said that §f thit wero true, It would devolve o terrible responsibility on the Demoerntie slde, But was it truo? He could sece that it the ‘Senate was disor- gualzed or unorganized, or, If there were Vacaneles, thut a fuctfouy op positlon tu filiing those vacancies, protracted totho end of tho sesston, would be unpatriotle and reprehen- sibie, but such 'was not the ea THE MINOUITY i intended to proteet itself from tho oppres- slon of the majority, If there waus any rea- son for (his departige on the part of thy e publlean side from the nsages of this hody, these thirty-cight Senators stood justiied, hut the v st give thetr renson nnd” address to public opinton, It conld not | for polilical services that this y positlon and delay hud been superinduced, What was the animating, overwhelming, dowinant renson of public molioy? It would not he from any great zeal of lToyalty to the Unlon, nasmuch as the Sen- ator who had brotight one of the candidates find avowed that e had been true tothe C fecternte cause, and that he had no_apolo to offer for it, Tlere or alsewhere, Witk wos the reason? e asked thein to tell it; ho de- fied them to announce it} hetaunted them to the avowal of it. AT THIS POINT n messnge was recelved from the Presldent, and Mr, Lamar yielded to a motion to ko into j-xelm‘l]uvc session, which motlon was - ected, Mr. Dawes hoped Mr, Lamar would now impress |I’|Hill hls sldu the inportance of con- stdering the pending resolutlon. Mr. Lunar_rejolned by inguiring whether the Senator from Massuehusetts thought that the removal ot tho'Sennte oflicers was a8 e ortant as filling a vacaney In the Suprome courly which was 1ot 1tow In scssion by ren- son of that vacaney? Resuming tho thred of his speceh, ho desertbed the divisions in tho Democratle party in Virginia, 'The Re- publican side of the chamber had proclhned 1ts readiness to comnbine with what the coun- try calls the repudinting wing of the Demo- cratie party In Virginin, It had proelalined that when any “section of the party should bolt from the Democratic ‘mn)'umlc_r the banner of repudiation, the Republiean party, not on acconnt of repudiation, hut In spite of It, was willing to embrace that repudinting seetlon. Repwdiation wns no hindrance in tite way of Republiean Senators stretehing out thelr iands aeross the bloody chasin to unrepentant Rebels, clothing then with nonor, nnd un-eunf them with ap- planse, e did not belleve the Northern people would stand this thing, They would not tolerate this alliance with the repudint- ing senthinents of the Sonthern States. The sentiment of Natlonut pride, of National honor, would dasli it Iuto o thousand picces, even if 1t had to rend the mighty struetury of the Republlean party. he Nutlonal honor could not take into s einbraee the leprous body of State repudiation without beeoming Infected with its person, and this alifance would not suceced in the South, The majority of the Demoeratic purty hud spewed the repudinting element out of its mouth, nand the Republicans hud refected the offal whileh the Republican Senators now eagerly snatched at. This was only nn attempt to substitute In the South for enrpet-baglsu, bagked by Federal foree, the repmdiating element, bicked by Federal patronuge. The first hud failed und east re- proach on the Republican party, The Inst would meet with a similar fate, "The Senator Trom Pemmsylvania (Cameron) hadannounved that this wns an elfort to break up the Solld South, What hann had the Solid South dyne to the prosperity and honor nndt wlory of this country ?

A LONG DISCUSSION ensued between Messrs, Logan, 1ill, Call, and .\lnx('?' on the subject of Southern out~ rages, and at times angry words passed be- tween the Senators, 1u conelusion, Mr. Logan said that when a i eatne and invited the coliorts ot freedon to follow him to seo the colored man had 2 free and fair vote, the Republicans wonld hold out thelr hands in nlcndslyp to hinw. The North would Indorse the Itepublicnn Ym'ly In standing for au honest ballot, 1f tho Jemocrats eame with shopeuns the Repub- Jienns would come with shotizuns, 1t would beUreek against Greek, It would not be the white man putting his heel on the neck of the colored man.
