Mr. Dawes Charges that Democrats had Approached Mr. Mahone With Offers—Democrats Demand Names and Deny the Charge. HOW SENATOR DAVIS IS PAIRED. The Vice President laid before the Senate the unfinished business, being the resolution for the election ef officers of the Senate. Mr. Beck said that yesterday some difference of opinion had existed as to the position of the Senator from Illinois (Davis.) The Senator from Louisiana (Mr. Kellogg) had a written statement from that gentleman. showing that he Was paired on motions to go Into executive session, On which questions, if present, he would vote “yea.” He was also paired on the main resolution, on which, if present, he would vote “nay.” THE SHIFTING OF THE WIND. Mr. Dawes.—Was It that to which the Sen- ator alluded yesterday, wnen he sald that the wind had shifted? Mr. Beck.—No. The wind has been b'owing oy against Mas-achusetts for the past few ays. MR. PENDLETON ON MR. HOAR. Mr. Pendleton then took the floor. The course which the republicans had followed, without precedent “in all history, in insisting ‘that the usiness of the Senate and of the country should be delayed and postponed until the Senate should be disorganized and reorganized, had been defended on various grounds by its various apologists on fhis floor. The Senator from Massacuusetts (Mr. Hoar) had charged the action of the democrats with beng revolution- ary, but had subsequently, when pressed by the Senator from Georgia, (Mr. Brown), re- tracted that charge. MR. HOAR EXPLAINS, Mr. Hoar said that he had not made that cbarge; but the action of the democratic side warranted him now in imputing it, and he did so impute it. Mr. Pendleton replied that the gentleman now made the charge, without aby qualifica- ton, and he would leave it to the gentleman from Georgia, (Mr Brown). to again make him retract It, MR. PENDLETON AND MR. DAWES, Mr. Pendleton sald that if Mahone had not yotcd With the republicans the name of Riddle- berger would never have been heard of in the republican caucus, and he asked Mr. Dawes if that Were not true. This led to some good- natured sparring between Mr. Pendleton and Mr. Dawes. Finally Mr. Pendiston declared that his question had not been answered and he quoted from the trial of Pickwick, that part of the testimony of Sam Welier, where the lat- ter said his ‘‘wiston was limited,” applying it to the Imited vision of the republican side, An Exciting Scene. MR, DAWES CHARGES THAT AN OFFER WAS MADE BY THE DEMOCRATS TO MR, MATIONE. There was an exciting scene in the Senate this afternoon. Mr. Dawes charged that the committee for the arrangement of the Senate committees, appointed by the democratte cau- cus approached Senator Mahone, or that some of them did in some way offer to Mr. Mahone to give bim or any man whom he would name ee ee if he (Mahone) would vote with the democrats, DEMANDS FOR THE NAME OF THE DEMOCRATIC SENATOR WHO MADE THE OFFER. Mr. Pendleton, in a somewhat excited man- ner, demanded that Mr. Dawes shoultd name the democratic Senator who had been guilty of anything of the kind; if any one “has ap- roached the Senator from Virginia,” said Mr, Pendleton, ‘name him; name him.” ‘Mr. Harris jumped to the floor, and sata he Was a member Of the democratic caucus com- mittee, and he demanded that Mr. Dawes shou!d naree the Senator or Senators on that commit- tee who had in any manner approached Mr. Makone. Mr.H. begged Mr. Dawes “not to deal la inuendoes; not to hide himseif in an assumed mystery, but to name the Senator;” and, con- Unulng, Mr. Harris satd: Unless the Seaator from Massachusetts does name tueSenator who Inade the a word of ft. word of th democratic Senator was mentioned.” Mr. 1 Was excited, and apparently. indfznan eral democratic Senators sald to him, cnough,” and when Mr. Dawes again there was a general call from the d side to “name the man, name the mau MR.

S. bonds are :, higher than the lowest of yes- terday for the4’s and 4's, and ', lower than the highest of yesterday for the 5's, and un- changed for the 6's. A good many 6 per cents have been bought in the market to take advan- tage of the privilege of extension at 31 per cent; ii would not be strange if these 3: per cent bonds, or @ part of them, should rua for along time, as the Treasury gets money on them more cheaply than on any other loan. Southern state bonds ate very dull, and the speculation Which started up the North and Scuth Carol na Issues appears to have realized and gore into Sutro tunnel stock, which Is up 2%, at least this 1s what is reported Ternessée bonds are up; -, for the pew sixes, 11, for the new series and down 1', for the sixes Old.
