THE PROCERDINGS TO DAY. In the Senate to-day, ata quarter past twelve o'clock, Senator Pendleton moved to take up ‘is resolution, including the democratic com mittee ist. Mr. Cameron (Pa.) moved to ad- jJoure. This was made a party question, the democrats opposing it The motion was lost by @ vote cf 34 ayes to 36 nays. MR. MAHONE’S VOTE. While the vote was being taken Mr. Cameron Went in search of Senator Mahone and brought him into the chamber. Mr. Mahone voted aye with the republicans, He did not record his vote until after the vote was taken, and his “aye” caused a general laugh on the republican Side. When the vote was announced Mr. Cam- eron moved to go into executive session. Mr. ; Pendleton again called for the ayes and noes. The motjon to go into executive session deieated by a vote of 34 ayes to 37 nays. Mr. Pendleton then moved to adjourn,saying It was evident that no vote could be reached to-day. THE DEMOCRATIC PROGRAM. Immediately after the adjournment of the Senate this afternoon the democrats went into Caticus. At a conference of democratic Sea- ators late yesterday afternoon it was deter- mtned to go right abead as they had started; that they would not pair with men who were not yet Senators, but would noz, either, push a vote. Democratic Senators say they will not i Ubucter when the repubitcans show a ma- jority. ME. MAHONE AND TIE SENATE COMMITTEES, A special committee of the republican caucus, with Mr. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, as chatr- man, was yesterday appointed to consult Mr. Mahone as to what positions he wanted on committees. Two of the assignments he chose were on the railroads and post office com- mittees. THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS TO DAY. The democratic Senators met in caucus di- rectly atter the adjourament of the Senate this afternoon. A number, principally those who had insisted upon prompt organization by the democrats while they bad a majority, refused to enter the caucus, declaring that they were disgusted with the unstablecourse of the party, in determining upon a policy tin caicus and backing out from it in theSenate. ‘The caucus Was still in session when THe Srak’s report closed, but it was known the democrats engaged in a protr: discussion, some of them expressing Salisfaction at the course that had been pursued. All the indications were that the Plan agreed to last night will be carried out—to go abead until the republicans show a major- Ity vote, and then accept the situation. ‘The best authority is that the democrats will not fight after a majority against them 1s mant- fested, but some of them are not disposed to Field $9 readily, The Senaie Committees Under Re- publican Organization, The republican Senators In caucus this morn- tng completed their Senate committee list, with the exception of the usual number of vacancies for minority representation, which are left to be filled by the democrats. The only changes made to-day in yesterday's assignment of the chatrmanships are a transfer of Senators Teller and Kellogg to the chairmanships of pensions and raliroads, respectively, and a substitution of Senator Ferry for Senator Frye as chalrman of the committee on rules. Senator Mahone Temains on the list as chatrman of the com- mittee on agriculture, and 1s also as. signed to the naval affairs and post office Committees. The fall republican membership of the more tmportant committees (as tn last bight’s Srak) is unaltered except by plac- ing Mr. Teller on the privileges and election committee instead of Mr. McMillan. Tae miili- tary affairs committee is to be composed as fol- lows, so far a8 the republicans are concerned: Messrs. Logan (chairman), Burnside, Cameron (Pa.), Harrison and Sewell. The majority mem- bership of the naval committee will consist of, Messrs. Cameron (Pa), chairman, Anthon, Rollins, Makone and Platt (N.Y.)' Tne post office committee wiil be headed by Senator Ferry, and the other representations of tho Inajority are to be Messrs. Hill (Col), Platt (N. Y.), Mahone, and Sawyer. The repab ican ma- jority on the Senate committee on Distri Columbia will consist of Messrs. Ingalls mab), Rollins, McMillan, Hawley and M “Mahone, Virginia.’ BIS EFFECTIVE DEBUT YESTERDAY. Senator Mahone, of Virginia, who remains: silent so long that he was termed the ‘-Virgini: Sphinx”, proved to the Senate and the couutry yesterday that he can talk when he feels callei upon todoso. His speech was delivered with an earnest, flery eloquence that rendered his every word effective. His gestures were im- [eel and every one added pith and point to is words. His voice was modulated so that the lowest accents with which he uttered his hissing sarcasm were distinctly heard in every part of the chamber. His command of lan- fees was ready and prompt and he proved imself an orator able to cope with any who may attack him in the Senate. It ts true that he spoke under what he regarded as uncalled for provocation and that his indignation, no doubt, added to the impressiveness of his lan- guage and his manner; but, the powers he dls- Played would not fall him even in cool Moments, His appearance upon the floor and ‘is remarks created one of the most remark- able sensations of the usually crave and dignified Senate, THE SURROUNDING CIRCUMSTANCES: contributed largely to the sensationa’, Curtosity to hear Mr. Mahone declare his position was felt by all present, but before he had concluded the Senate and audience was divided, in sentiment, into two classes—one friendly to Mahone and delighted at his speech, the other denouncing him and his conduct. For the time betng tie Tules of the body were set at detlance, and ever was the House of Representative ln 1tg Stormiest times, more disorderly. SENATOR MAHONE'S PERSONAL APPEARANCE is altogether deceptive as to his oratortcal pow- ers. He 1s of small frame, thin in flesh, weigh- ing less than 100 pounds, and but for a look that seems: defy even Ill-health, would be taken for a dyspeptic invalid. He wears a full, flow- ing which nearly covers his bosom, and While speaking his eyes shone with a lizht that indicated courage and determination. Though DOU yet two Weeks a Senator, he has, tn spite of the unwritten law of that body that’ new mem- bers must take back self the observed of all observers. * PeRsoNAL.—President Garfleld’s mother and children are to spend the summer at their Men- tor home.——Ex-Senator Cameron ts expected to arrive in Philadelphta trom his southern trip on Thursday.— Rev.

MR, MABONK'S SPEECH Was as follow “The gentleman from Georgia has assur not only to be the custodian lere of the di cratic party of the nation, but has tied to a- sert the right to speak for the constituencs Which [have the privilege in part of represen ing here. He has dove so without their assen’, (aadressing himself directly to Mr. Hil and ai varcing towards him.) 1 owe you, sir, aud | owe those for whom you undertake to speak here, nothing. (Marks of encouragement cu tbe republican side and in the galleries) | come here ilke a Virginian, not to represent t demceracy, for which you (Mr. Hill) stand. come With as proud a clei to represent U pecple of Virginia as you to represent the peo ple cf Georgia, won on fields where I hay fought with you and others tn the cause oi my people and of that section tn Ue late unbappy contest. ‘That contest, tha God, is over, aud as one of those engaged 1a 11, abd who has not here or elsewhere to make a enol for the part he has taken In it; 1 say that T am not here asa partisan, nor am 1 here to represent that democracy which haa done so much injury to my section of the coun- uy. The gentleman undertook to say wha constitutes a democrat. I hold that Tam au infinitely better democrat than he. (Laughter. He who stands nominally committed toa f vote abd a fair vote and an honest ballot shi see that they can be had iu the state of Geon: a where tissue ballots are fashionable (A. I serve notice on that gentleman that I in! to be the custodian of my own democrai do not intend to be run by the gentleman I am in every sense a freeman here, 21 trust to be able to protect my own rigiits,and:> defend those of the people whom I represent certainly to take care of my own. Ido not ia terd (again addressing Mr. H. diiectly) that you shall undertake to criticise my conduct by ina 1 excoes. I wish the Senator from Georgia 1 understand just here that the way to deal wi me is ts deal directly. We want no “motio of disccvery” to find out how I am going vote. (Applause on the floor and the gaileri: Which Was reprimanded by the Vice Presiden I regret that so early after my appearance li-r I should have found it necessary to obtrude ans remarks in this bedy. I would prefer to be a lite modest. I would prefer to listen and learn, but I could not feei content, after what has passed to-day, to sit silent. The gea Ucman (Mr, Hil) by ail manner of insinuations, direct and Indirect, has sought to discover who Ube democrat ts that may Clioose to exercise Tight to cast his vote a3 he pleases and to differ With the gentleman’s caucus. He seems to have | forgotten’ that J refused to take part in caucus which has notonly waged war upon but upon those whom J represent; that las pre. suited to teach the people of Virginia hones: y abd true democracy. Yes, sir, (addressing Mr. HNL) you were duly notitied’ that I took no part or iot in your That I was stpremely indifferent to ‘wht you did. (Laughter on tae repubitein sice.} You were notified that I should Stand on this floor representing in parc the state of Virginia. Certainly tne leg! ture which elected me did not require me io state {hat I was either a democrat or anything else. I suppose that tbe gentleman (Mr. Hil’) Cou}d BOL get here from Georgia unless he said he was a democrat anyhow. (Applause and laughter.! I came here without being required to State to my people what Lam. They were all willing to trust me. I was elected by the peeple, not by the tegislature, for It was an iscue in the canvass, and ro man was elected to the legislature by the party with which I am identified who was not instructed to vote for me forthe Senate. The gentleman has been chasselpg allround the chamber to see if be cannot find a partner somewhere. He has been looking around, occasionally referring to another Senator, to know exactly who that Senator was Who bad the manliness and the boldness to assert bis opinion in this chamber free trom the dictation of a democratic caucus, I want that gentleman to know henceforth and forever that there is a man who dares stand bere and defend his right against you and your caucus. (Loud applause and much laugiter, provoked by the violent gesticulations of Sena_ tor Mahone, who launched defiance at his ad- versary !n an extremely animated manner.) MR, HILL ON THE REMARKABLE EXHIBITION. Mr. Hill again took the floor. He hoped that ‘Do one Jmagined that he intended to make any personal reply to the remarbable exhibition Which the Senate had just witneased. [Laugn- ter.)

He bad neverseen Ph epee until a few days since, and had not the slightest unkind feellog toward him. He could only understand the geu- trleman on the principle that “a guilty con- Sclence needs no accuser.” (Applause and laugh- ter on the democratic side.)
