In the Senate to-day, immediately after the reading of the journal, the resolution was called up for the election of the nies of the Senate. Mr. Johnston stated that he naa Imtended to reply to the speech of his colleague delivered yesterday, but as it did not appear in the “Record” this morning, and ashe did not wish to misrepresent his colleague, he would post- pone his reply until he could have an opportu- nity to read that speech. SENATOR HAMPTON’S SPEECH. Mr. Hampton then took the floor, and tn be- ginning his speech said he desired to make some correction relative to the South Carolina debt from statements made by Mr. Mahone and in an article he had read. Mr Hampton declared that South Carolina had not repudiated any of her debt: that the carpet-bag govern- ment piled up the state debt to about $24,000,000, and when the tax-payers of tne state got con- trolof the state government they did not re- pudiate any of the debt. A question was raised as to a part of the debt; the state abdicated for atime her sovereignty, and ap; ppointed a com- mission to pass upon the debt; tue bondholders Were allowed to sue the state, with the privi- lege of carrying the one to the ‘Supreme Court It they chose to do so. ‘About one mile. tion of the ‘debe was decided invalid by the state Preme court, presided over by a northern re- Pi ibitcan and ‘an honorable man. The bond- iolders accepted this decision as final, and de- clined to appeal to the l.S. Supreme Court; that now South Carolina ‘bonds are above par, and the credit of the state first-class. MR. BUTLER AND MR. HOAR, Mr. Butler interrupted, to state that the car- pet-bag or republican state government did repudiate a part of the debt by issuing bonds at Tifty cents on the dollar. Mr. Hoar'wanted to know if the democrats had remedied this by paying the debt. Mr. Butler replied that the repudiation was by the republicans, and the democrats took ae Je as they found ft, and have assumed os Hoar repeated bis uestion, to which Mr. Butler replied that the understanding of the Senator from Massachusetts was ‘very obtuse, indeed.” MR, HAMPTON RESUMED HIS SPEECH, reviewed the past filllbustering proceedings, and pointed out the danger to the government if thts obstructive policy shall become a prece- dent to be followed by both parties. Mr. Hamp- ton referred to Senator Don Cameron’s deciara- tion in the open Senate, that the contest over the ofticers should be one of physical endur ance,and sald that the bold Senator was the first to retreat; that Cameron led his followers Into the hottest of the ight, and then made a rapid but not glorious retreat. Mr. Hampton sald there was a general suspicion that TBE ALLIANCE SEEKING TO RULE THE SENATE was the result of a corrupt bargain; that Mr, Mahone had declared his innotence of any bar- gain and his honest purpose, but he (Mahone) could remove the suspicion by showing what had brought about the alliance. Mr. Hampton sald the Senate could not afford to let this foul Saspicion go out to the country; let a commit- tee be chosen by the cence to investigate the whole subject, and it this suspicion {ts un- founded have it stamped out as it deserves, John Randolph had folled the great ainbition of Mr. Clay by a charge that Randolph admit- ted, subsequentiy, was unfounded. The fair fame of the Senate ought not to be stained by even a suspicion. He referred to the obstrac- tive methods adopted by the republican Sena- tors to prevent the formation of the commit. iges unUl they were ready, and sald the repub licans could not figure as raartyrs or INJURED INNOCENTS. The democratic Senators know their rights abd are determined to maintala them. Le denied that the democrats wanted to ste: power hot properly thelrs, The de would proceed in an orderly, diznttied an t edimanner, Where would have been the ed republican majority if democrats had too regardfui Of jawiul rights to expel Mr. Kellogg. When the question of dectari Kellogg’s seat vacant was pending the crats realized, as well as no the effect yore might have In the organization of this Serate. Mr, Hampton sald that Keuogg ang Menone were the MASTERS OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, He expressed his profound sympathy for the people of Virginia, because her once com nd. ing voice 15 improperly represented or utte on tiis floor. cing of the past 1 While Mr. Hampton was spe: glory of Virginta, and expressing cond With the state on the ground that she bag been betrayed by Mr, Mahone, tho Jatter sat in his seat, listening some, now and then talking to a genticman seated near, and apparently com- mhenting upon Mr. Hampton's remarks. Now and then Mr. Mahone wonld put his hand to his ear to better catch the words of Mr. Bamp- ton, who predicted that tn the next election Virginia’s voice will be heard cistinetly in sup- port of Ler public faith, and no degenerate sons can misiead her. Mr. Hampton said he fancied he could see Washington, Jefferson, Henry and ot grand historic names of Virginia looking down In sorrow at the humiiating spectable of a degererate son, A PROTEST FROM LOUISIANA, Mr. Jonas tock the floor immediatety after Mr, Hampton concluded, and protested against the Jatter giving sympathy to Louisiana now, when he bad refused bis vote at the time it was needed to right the wrong tniltctea ee Loulsi- apa tn the lection of Keliog; two Senators, both duly elected, ha ana had but one. Inasmuch as the wrong had been fastened’ upon Loulslana by the action of certain democratic Senators; the state would erdeavor to beer the wrong in silence, asking no sympathy. MR. GROOME opposed the present consideration 0: the reso- lution for the election of Senate officers, basing bis Oprosition principally on the ground that 1 would be working a great hardship and 1n- justice upon the present incumbents, He criticised and ridiculed the action of the repub- eans in selecting as their candidate for ser- geant-at-arms a repudiating democrat. In this case It seemed as though the mountain had gone to Mahomet. He was seen on the highest beak able to say, like a mythical Crusoe, “I am monarch C1 all J svrvey;” but unable to add with truth, “My right there is none to dispute;” but he (Grooms) had no doubt that a popular earthqueke would come betore long rand engulf both Mahomet and the mountain. MR. BROWN proceeded at some length to answer the charzes made against bim yesterday by Mr. Mahone, declaring that that gentleman had grossly mis: represented facts. At 2:4) Mr, Brown was still speaking. REAPPORTIONMENT IN CONNECTICUT.—The re- apportionment committee of the Connecticut legislature has reported a plan for maklag 2+ Sehatorlal districts instead of 21. New districts are added in Hartford, New Haven and Fair- Neld counties, the elites of Hartford, New Haven and Bridgeport each being a separate senatorial district.

Attorney General MacVeagh was at his office this morning, attending to business as usual, When the current report that he was inclined to resign his office was mentioned, he sald he did not anticipate leaving the cabinet. He de- clined to talk when ini ated as past differ- ences of opinion as to the wisdom of Mr. Chandlers appointment, and intimated that whatever objection he might have had to any of the President’s appointments, such objec. tions had pot been sufficiently strong at any time to warrent his retirement from the De- partment of Justice. ANOTHER VERSION OF THE MATTER. The announcement of the resignation of Attorney General MacVeagh Is premature. In one sense he had resigned, and yet there can be a construction Put upon it that he has not. From a scource of information that ought to be good, THE STak has the following touching the matter: When the President intimated to the Attor- ney General that he contemplated appotat- Mr. MacVeagh, according to this authority, said; “Mr. President, tne nomination will be exceedingly distasteful to me, ing William EF, Chandler, Solicitor General, Tope you will reconsider’ your intention 9 a the nomination, for if it 1s made, I shall rtainly resign.” A few days thereafter the nomination was sent 16 the Senate. ‘Thereupon the Attorney General called upon the President and said: **The bomination, of Mr. Chandler having been sent to the Senate, in view of the fact that | intimated tn the event Of Its going in I should resign, I can only sup- ke that my resignation will be accepfabie.” fhe President said the Attorney General mis- understood the situation, and further declared that he did not understand that Mr. Macy. eagh had declared to him that he would resiga if the Chandler nomination went in, The Attorney General said that such was his position, ana he was sorry If the President misunderstood ity ‘The President said he did certatnh The matter now ts in this shape, according to the same authority. If the nomination of Mr. Chandler is confirmed. Attorney General MacVeugh will resign. if not he will act. Itis ae however, if Mr. MacVeach does re- sign, the President wii appoint Chandler At- torney General, Nominations To-day. The President sent the following nomtina- tions to the Senate to-day:—Recetvers of public moneys—Richard ,W. Montgomery, at Bloom- ington, Neb.; Ellis Ballou, at Helena, Mont.; Denpis K.

One wasaman and the other was asvoman, and both were cray, The man had some scheme and many papers, Hedemanded that he be allowed to seo the President ‘right away.” The safety of the nation depended upon it. He had Seaator Conkling’s name mixed up with his wild talk about Papers; importance of seeing the Presl- dent and his good character. He was kept from ene @ bola rush forthe President's dcor onjy by the application of force. He finally cooled down suficiently to be content with writing a long letter tothe President. After delivering his screed tothe President's doorkeeper, he went away. THE WOMAN WHO WANTS AN EXTRA SESSION. The woman was more pertinacious. She kept talking and watting. -She is probably talking and waiting yet. She was about forty years old and bad several front teeth gone. This made her talk somewhat uninteliigibie, Her mission was to demand an extra session, She also had documents, tn fact a paper bag Tullot them. She got loud now and then as she saw other people get to the Presidential presence and herself making no headway. Jer particular reason for demanding an extra ScESiON was to have the House employc3 turned cut, They have been there too long she said. They have grown insolent and should be removed. She was particularly bitter agatnst Sergeant-at-arms Thompson and wanted him bounced immediately. She satd that Mr. ‘Thompson had done her an irreparable injury and she would never rest until she succeeded 1h having his successor installed in office, SOCIETY NOTEs. Everybody who has ever attended one of those delightful affairs In previous seasons will be glad to learn that the Annual Charity Ball, for the beneiit of the Children’s Hospital, is not to be intermitted this year, as many persons for some unexplained reason supposed it might be.

PREPARATIONS FOR THE GREAT CELEBRATION. Col. J. E. Peyton, general superintendent of the citizen’s association, has arrived here from Richmond. He informs a reporter of Tas Srar that the people of Richmond are fully ailve to the importance of making extensive prepara- Uons for the vast crowds that will vist York- | onosen for it 1s Easter Monday, April 1sth, and town during the celebration.

The subscription to the Stock will be confined to the colonial states and the District of Columbia, whose citizens are to be the honored hosts of the nation and its Invited guests during the celebration. The amount asked for from the citizens of Wash- ington is not large, and the Shon will no doubi be responded to at once, The contribu- Uons, or a large percentage, will probably be returned at the close from receipts and sale of property. up or floored over level with the stage, thus af- fording the amplest space for dancing, prom- enading, &c., while the private boxes,orchestra circle aud dress or balcony circle of seats will give all Lece:sary accommodation for those ‘Who go more as spectators than as active part!- cipanta, The supper room will be in the Im- Ppertal Hotel, adjolning, connected by a covered passage way, while a portion of the lobby in fronton both the matin floors will be utilized for hat and cleak rooms, etc. The interaal ar- rangement of the theater will afford tine oppor- tunifies for effective decoration, lighting, and (aay ornamentation, and every effort will e made to constitute that an important fea- ture of the occasion.
