The galleries of the Senate were packed to- day, and the corridors were thronged by men and women, all in anxious expectancy that the question of the organization of the Senate was to be immediately decided. After the Senate Was calied to order necks were craned towards Senator Mahone’s seat to see If he were pres- ent. It was known that he arrived at the Cap- Ito] about fifteen minutes before 12 o'clock. He Was seen, before the Senate met, to go out of the chamber In company with Senator Logan, anda report arose that he (Mahone) had en- tered the republican caucus. This was not true. About ten minutes after the Senate mer, Mr. Mahone took his seat, whicn was generally regarded as an Indicatton that he meaut to cast his vote, one way or the other, on tue question of organization. SENATOR PRENDLETON’S REMARKS, after calling up the democratic resolution to appotnt the committees, « reated a very decided sensation. He referred first to Mr. Conukling’s declaration last Friday, that the repubitcans would have a constitutional majority when all | their seats should be filied, and said that he (Pendleton) had no knowledye as to whether the other side would have this majority or not. He repelled with Indignation the charge made against the — democrats, that they had sought to seize the organization. Tae democrats had endeavored to provide organl- zation and go ahead with the public basiness, While he (Pendleton) had no knowledge of the real strength of the republicans those omnts- cient gentlemen of the press nad put In their papers items about MYSTERIOUS CONFERENCES AND MERTINGS of republicans; of visits to the White House, and of quiet talks accompanted by the popping of champagne corks, (without mentioning his name, Mr. Pendleton referred to Mahone and his reported meetings with republicans.) Cun- Unulng, Mr. Pendlcton sald that the name of the distinguished Senator from New York (Mr. Covkiing) had been mentioned tn connection With these secret conferences and meetings. The republicans had repelled and refused all Overtures from the democrat Prompt organization of the Senate. Io even suonger language than before, Mr. Pendleton again repelicd the Instouations and charges against tke democrats tu regard to the organt- zation. SINCE THE FOUNDATION OF THE GOVERNM AU the incoming of a new adintn!stration tie Senate had invariably been convened a extra Session, and at no session had the i4th day of March rolled round without flading all the com- mitiees formed and the Senate entirely ready for business. This, he said, was the tenth day ; of the session, aud though over one hundred of the President's nominatious were pc Senate was not organized, Uons that had been made were by u consent, and the others all hang over, It the republicans knew they had or wouid have a majority, 1t was their duty to have made ad- Vauces, Offered propositions fo: Uon, and the democrats were r 5 The democrats had had trom the first day of the session, and had to-day the majority, and though tt might last but aday, and for aught he Knew tt might not last longer, it was the duty of the democrats to go forwa-d with their duly and attend to the public busiiess. THE INVITATIONS TO THE REPUBLICANS DECLINED. Mr. Pendleton said he had heen charged by the democrats with the dity of inviting co- Operation from, or consmltation with the repub- leans; he went to Mr. Anthony, the father of the Senate, with this proposition and was sternly tpformed that the republicans would hot have anything to do with the organization; Wouid not consult or confer. He weut again with a proposition in writing, and was again answered that the republicans would not touch the question because there were vacant seats. He asked if the republicans would go on with organization when Uheir yacanctes were filled, when thelr embryo § elected. He received no ‘satisfactory reply. All he got was a proposition tia: 1f the demo erats would pair an equal number of their existing, active, and regularly elected Senators With the vacancies, with men who had no right to enter the chamber, then the republicans would go into the ‘organi gailan. This was the only proposition made and it wa3 the party who had thus acted that was charging the democratic party with Uuryiug to selze the control of the Senate. II did not know how this proposition would bo considered; the pairing of Senators had already frown to an extent that often tnvertered wita jusiness, and ifa precedent was to be set of pairing. with those who were not yet Senators, ie protested that tt would be a dasyerous one. AFTRR THR SPFECH. Mr. Pendletcn sat down and for two minutes entire quiet prevailed. Nobody arose, and after Walling for the two minutes, Mr. Pendleton again look the tloor and sala that if no Senator wished to go on with the discasstoa be sug- gested that the Senate had “better, better —' ‘Mr. Conkling.—Adjourn. Mr. Pendleton.—Proceed to a vote. Mr. Conkling suggested that time had better be given to aby Senator who desired to reply to make his preparation. The reading of the res- olution, together with the lst of democratic committees were called for and proceded with, SEATOR BAYARD SPEAKS, Senator Bayard interposed and stopped the Treading of the list of committees, He made a speech declaring the entire willingness of the Gemocratic party to submit to the majoricy, He insisted that there was nothing for the der- ocrats to gain—nelther money nor power—as the formation of the committees was only 1n- tended for this short extra session. He appeated tothe republicans to let the organization be effected without resorting to any unparliamen- tary tactics, and if on to-morrow or next week thé republicans bave the power to control he ee one would let them have it without objec- jon. S A SENSATION— "ES WITH THE RE- PUBLIC Mr. Allison moved to gi sion. There were cries of cratic side, Scuator Hill, of Ga. Lo use going into executive sesal Less could ve rete made a party rats voting “a0,” and ths Mahone voted aye with the _Eyeoted wita applause in the gallérica led to the conclusion of Mat one’s entire affiliation with the repubitcans. The motion was rejected—yeas 85, nays 37, SPEECH BY MR, CONKLING. After the motion for an executive session had been voted down, Mr. Conkling took the floor to reply to the speeches of Messrs. Pendleton and Bayarc. He thought Mr. Pendleton was fleeing when “no man pursueth;” that no charges such as had been mentioned had been made against the democrats. He thought Mr. Pendleton’s speech was intended for a more numerous audience than was assembled in the Senate chamber, it was to reach the great pub- ic through the press. Mr, Conkling then re- ferred pathetically to the deatn of Senator Carpenter; referred to the cail conve! the present Senate in extra session. The was issued by the outgoing President. It had been Said the call was the act of the present Prest- dent; he doubted that. Mr. Sarg then re- ferred to the creation of vacancies. He had not supposed that the republican Senators were to fight for sundown or Biucher, becauge the dem ocrats had helped to confirm ‘three republicans as Cabinet ministers, and thus weaken that Side. He spoke of the democratic caucus as a covenant of Infallibliity; of its attempts to capture the independent party. He comment- ed upon the formation of the committees by the democrats—putiing both Senators from Onto on the judiciary committee. Every one of the absent Senators were constructively here; the seats were certain t@be filled ‘by repubiicans; though a Senator may die. a state can never die, and the seats were certain to be tilled with republicans at the earliest date possible under the law. He maintained that the republicans Were right in not consenting to an organiza- Uon against a constitutional majority of the Senate. By next Wednesday, if trains make their usual time, the Senator from Minnesota will be present, and the republicans will have the strength to overturn the organization now sought by the democrats. Senator Hill, of Ga., next took the floor to re- ply to Mr. Conkling. Senator Gorman and the Canal. Itis announced seml-offictally that Senator Arthur P.

Sketch of the Dead Emperor. Alexander JI., Nicolafevitch. the Ruasian Emperor, who has fallen a victim at last to the Nibliists, by whom be bas so often been threat- ened, Was the son of the Czar Nicholas and Alexandria Feoderovna (originally Cuarlotte), a sister of Frederick Wiitlam 1V and William J., Of Prussia, born April 29, Isis. From the cradie he was the object of the most tender love by both of his parents. Great care was taken 1n his education, which was supervised by hts father until General Frederies, and afterwards General Kayelin became his Uitor. He received instruction malnly from native Russians, ualike Alexander I. and his fatuer, who were edu- cated by forelgners. On his 23d birthiay he was married to Marla Alexandrovna, daughter of the Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt, born in is24. It was purely @ love match, the young prince having made bis own choice amonz a ost Of German princesses, and from Lhe age of 1s he was admitted by hig rather to study the diflicult task of governin#the empire by attend- ing at all the sittings of the tatmisiers wita the Emperor; aud when, in 1516, Nicholas restded {cr Several months In Italy, he delegated to tls all bis vast powers. On the 2d of March, he mounted the throue at a most erttieal ssi. His Tather, Nicholas, had y engaged stogie-handed ‘In a War against Englang, France, Turk-y and Sar- dina With Austria as a positive enemy. For r Alexander untlinchtogly conttated tue Sebastopol was taken in September. , DUE the ales Wor nothing more, and the Russian resistance continued. “During tie en- suieg Winter the neutral German states offered Teediation, abd an armistice was agreed upon in March, i556, and September’ 7, 1856, Alexander was solemnly crowned at Moscow. Alter that he relaxed the lines drawn to tné utmost tension by bis pred: r. He began With emancipaulug the nation trom the military routine which permeated every brauch of the government. He reorganized tne army, dis- solved the greater part of the military colonies, freed public instruction from military disci- pline;aud, instead of placing discharged ottivers as tutors and professors at tae uead of the ed- ucational establishments, appointed men flited by spectal studies for those positions, At the same time, the censorship of the press was re- laxed. Espionage was prohtsited, and officfal corruption ferreted out andexposed. He ad- vanced young men in the public service, gave a new impulse to tuternai industry and trade,and aided the development of the commercial Marine by encouraging merchants to extend their trade with foreign countries. He annuiled the impediments which prevented Russians from visiting foreign countries, granted a gen- eral amnesty to political offenders—Poles and Russians—recalling the exiles from Siberia, and allowed fugitives to return. He inaugurated a vast system of internal improvements by the bullding of raliroads, but his greatest measure of reform was the emancipation of the seris, whicu he had resolved upon in his earllest Manhood. ‘Their ¢manclpation was de- creed = March 3d, 186i, and carried out within the following two years. Jn 1865 he commenced a war with Turkestan, aud after a resistance of eighteen months the Ameer was conquered, his army dispersed and the city of Samarcand occupled by We Russian troops. In March, iS67, while persevering in hls steady progress of annexation in Central Asia, the Czar divested himself of his foothold on the American continent by the sale of Alaska to the United States for seven million dollars. During the Franco-German war, wht! Paris was besieged, the Czar notified the oad that he no longer considered himselt und by the provisions of the treaty of is56 Which lmited his rights tn the Black Sea. ‘Tals led to the conference held in London early ta Isil, when the partles to the treaty consented to {8 modification, in compliance with the Czar’s wishes. The oppresslons of the Turks upon the Christian population of Herzegovina and Bosnia caused a revolt in 1875, and Russta instituted @ war that lasted for two years, and resulted in the defeat of Turkey and large accessions to the Russian territory. Oa the 2d of March, 1850, Alexander celebrated the 25th anniversary of bis ascension to the throne with Most Imposing ceremonies, aS FAMILY Alexander had a large family by the Czarina Maria Alexandrovna. Their eldest son, Nicho- jas, born September 20, , died at Nice in Ape 1865, shortly after obtaloing his majority. Alexander, the second son, who now becomes the Czar, was born March 10, 1545, and married November 9, 1s6, the Prihcess’ Marie Sophia Frederique Dagiuar, of Denmark. His younger brother, the Grand Duke Alexis, visited the United ‘States in 187i, and was royally enter- tained in many of the largercities. The late Czar’s union with the Czarina,though originally a love match, had a most unhappy ending. ‘The | wnfaithrulness of her husband and his notorious jiason with the Princess Dolgorourki caused a seperation. On the 3d of June, 180, the Czarina breathed her last, and on the 18th of October following Alexander married the Princess Doi. gorourki,who was already the mother or spverat enildrer by him. PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS ON HIS LIFE, The first attempt upon the Ute of Alex- apcer was made on the isih of April, ist6, by @& workman named Dimitri Kara, kczofl, who fired at him when he was entering & Carriage at St. Petersburg. The pistol was, however, turned aside by a peasant named Komitaroff, who was ennobled as a reward for his action, The second atternpt Was lnade at the Paris exhibition of 1867 py Berezowski, @ Pole It occurred on the 6th of June, when the Czar and bis two sons were seated In a carriage with the Emperor Napo- leon.
