No Signs of a Break. Virginia Debt and the Blood Shirt Stull act the Frent, ‘The Senate resumed the consideration of the pending business this morning—the resolution for the election of Senate officers. A motion, made by Mr. Pendleton, to go into executive session, having been lost—yeas 24, nays 2% Mr. Johnston took the floor. He quoted extracts trom the Virginian, a newspaper edited by Mr. Riddleverger, to prove the democracy of tha gentleman and of his coll le (Mr. Mahone), and from the Riddleberger bill, to show that the republicans were now found supporting a man for office who had announced in that biil tbat the adoption of the thirteenth, four: senth and fifteenth amendments was equal in 1t3 ter- ribie effect to the war itself. He went with some minuteness into the question of the debt of the state of Virginla, contending that any failure to pay the toterest on that debt was not attributable to any desire to repudiate, but to the unfortunate condition of affairs which hid prevalled in that state immediately after the wi r. Mr. Dawes inquired whether the Senator agreed with his colleague in Rolding that West Virginia ought to pay a part of that debt. Mr. Johnston pepted that he agreed with his re and with the Supreme Court of the United States in bolding that West Virginla should be responsible for one-third. Leaving the question of the debt, he Led of Mr. Dawes where and when tn Virginia anybody had had to wade through blood to the bailot- ‘box as had been stated by that Senator. Mr. Dawes replied that the “Mitssisstpp! plan” was a general term. Specific uames at- tached to different phases of it tn the different, southern states. In one state it took the phase of blood, in another of [tissue batlors, in an- other of forging returns. In Virginia it was called opposition to vagabond suifrage. The Senator would have to explain that phase of the general plan. Had the Senator forgotten that the army had been called out at, Peters- burg to put down violence there? Did the Sen- ator pretend to say that nobody had got hur: at Petersburg in a vain attempt vo assert his Tight as a voter? ir. Johnston stated that the charge that there was any smothering of the republican yote in Virginia was absolutely false. If any Ussve ballots had been used In Virginia they Dad been used In his colleagues dtstric:. Wher did you got those tissue ballots? he inquired of Mr. Dawes, who stated that he had some tn his possession. Mr. Dawes.—The district of Norfolk was one. Mr. Johnston.—Was not Petersburg one? Mr. Dawes.—Petersburg resorted (0 the other method—\ lolence. Mr. Johpston.—That 1s the place my col- league lives tn, me Dawes.—It is, and he has seen the error of 1t. Mr. Jobnston continued his speech, confining nis remarks to local questions, and comment. ibg pon and vindicating the measures adopted in Virginia by the funder democrats, Mr. Conkling’s Expected Speech. There 18 a rumor about the Capivol to day that Senator Conkling has prepared a speech which, while indirectly attacking the admtnis- tation, will be aimed more especialty at Secretary Blaine. It 1s reported that Uhe Sepator bas satd that the President has acted in‘bad faith wira nim througnoat, dork ag to his conference at Mentor, watch the President Invited, and at a’ subdsequsat conference held at ihe White House oa Saturday two weeks ago.

Secre- tary Windom and Attorney General MeVeagh returned On the limited express this afternoon. Nothing was decided upon. in New York as to the ogeren peed of the Treasury depart- Ment in regard to the maturing fives and sixes anc the issuance of the balance of tus bonas autborized by the refunding act. The consui- tations with the leading financiers last week Were full, free and frank. Many details that ‘Would not otherwise have presentad themselves to the Treesury officers were brought out in the conferences. Many schemes were pre- sented by the different bankers consulted, and it was evident that most of them were person- ally interested in influencing the action of the department. In fact, they made no effort to conceal this, but stated frankly that they were Individually concerned in the potiey to be Payee But very little was sald in Eeeard to the issuance of ceriificates, whereby to borrow money at a low rate of interest, which the Secretary of the Treasury ts authorized to do. The main cow discussed was about the $104,000,000 of bonds as yet unissued, and which May be either 4s or 4348, The propriety of sell- ing that amount of bonds, which class should be cisposed of, and how should be put on the market, were the leading features of ‘the fuanclal question aiseusscd. AS stated above, was no decision. The - Uemen who appeared before Secretary Windom aud the other ofictais were all very urgent that in selling the bonds they should beso disposed of 88 not to affect the money market elther mett, and it would £0 continue. The results of the conference will be reported to the Presi- dent, and will be acted upon after the Cabinet bas taken the subject under full consideration, Secretary Windom is greatly pleased with his visit, and there 18 no doubt that the course of the Treasury department will be based upon a wider Knowledge of the subject than if the visi. to New York had not been made.
