They denled that they were en- agal u n petty seramble for the possession of the minor oftices of the Senate, and aflinined that they were contending for two great prinelples: First, that it is tho consti- tutional right and duty of the majority in this country to govern; second, that it is the duty of the Republicans by every means In their power to encourage that element u the Sonthwhichseeksto disintegrate the Bourbon Denwerney by gunrantecing to all classes o falr election, a free bhallot, mul an honest count. ‘Tt the Republicans have n consti- tutnal majority, aside even from the voto of the Viee-I'reslilent, there is no doubt, for not only Mahoue, but Duvld Davis, VOTED WITIL THFE REPUBLICANS apon that question.

As to the sccond pomnt, it was mude elearer to«lay than ever befors that the Republlean Senators think that they liave ussurances, In which they rely, thut thelr present movement 1s an im- portant one in the Interest of the breaking up of the Solld South, ‘The mnilscome from Virginla daily lnden with evidences that the stanl which the Republicang have taken Iu supportof . .

'T'his Is the strangest proceeding 1 have seen In this most singutar of all proceedings, T The Viee-Preslaent ruled that, there linve Ing been objection, the petition could not be recelved, Jlr. McPherson gave notice that to-orrow morning he would eall up this petition, in order that the Senator from Masspehuselts might be ableto state to the country the reason that actuated him in proventinge jus- tice being done to an Irish-Amerlean citlzen held in durance vlle 1nan English prison, The Seaator lins safd that THE MAN MUST REMAIN IN PRISON untl! such thne as Gorham and Riddelberger were elected. Ho hoped the Senator would be prepared to-morrow to state exactly his vosition on that question, and justify It if he conld. Mr. llonr suggested that the petition need not go over even until to-norrow, I the Democrats would vote upon the pending res- olutlon. ‘Thls pretense that the delay was attributable to the Republicon slde was the merest, sheerest plece of humbug and demagogy, Mr. Saulsbury declared that no vote would be taken on the resolutlon te-day, Mr, McPherson retorted upon Mr. Ionr that his claim that the petition could not be recelved beeunse there was no recording of- ficor of tho Seunto wus un absurd proposl- tion.
