Mr. Batler’s Task—frying to Prove “a Bargain.’ The Vice President having lala before the Senate the untlaished business, being the reso- lution for the election of Senate officers, the usual motion was submitted by Mr. Pendleton to go into executive session, and was met with its unvarying fate, being lost by a vote of yeas 20, Days 21. Ar. Butler then took the floor, premising hts Speech by reading from the Record the report of the coliequy, whitch occurred between htm- self and Mr. Burnside on the 20th inst., during the course of which he had stated thatif he did not by irrefragable evidence establish the fact there had been a bargatr he would resign his seat in the Senate. In endeavoring to do so he desired it to be understood that with the motives and purposes and intentions of Sena- tors as individuals he had nothing todo. He Was not here to impeach motives or to call into question the individual integrity and honesty of Senators. The Sena- tor from Virginia (Mahone) had sald that no man could search the human heart, That was true; but men were held responsible for their cts to society, and it was his duty, as a Sena- tor, to criticize, legitimately, the public acts the public votes and publi¢ utterances of all Men who belonged to the public. He made no charge against the Senator from V! la; he had nothing but the kindest feeling for that Senator; but when that gentleman and his friends rose and charged the democrats with Tevolution and treason it was his (Mr, Butler's) duty, in vindication of himself to aecount for the course which he was taking. What Were the evidences of a bargatn? ist. ‘The Senator from Virginia (Mr. Mahone) was elected to the Senate asademocrat, 2d. His pape to vote with the republicans had never announced until his vote had disclosed thatfact. 3d. Following that vote he had been assigned to the chairmanship of an important committee by the republican caucus. 4th.

He had moved his seat to the republican Side of the chamber. ith. The republican caucus refused to transact public business until Gorham and Riddleberger were elected. J2th. The Senator still claimed to be a demo- crat and voted with the democrats. 13th. Rit- dieberger was an avowed democrat and repud!- ationist and therefore offensive to the repubii- €ans. 14th. The Senater from Ohio (Sherman) avowed that anything that wouid beat dowao the democratic party was justifiable. . The democratic Senators had been assailed vecauss they voted as their consciences dictated in order to divert the attention of the country from an Unlewful alliance. i6th. Instead of inviting an Investigation of the charges, the Senator from Virginia and his friends sought to prevent free speech and legitimate discussion by threats and Genunciations. 1ith. The reason assigned for the coalition was that the Senator from Vir- zinla, was in favor of a free ballot and a fair coun! A free ballot and a fatr count, continued Mr. Butler, when, at the last election, the state or Indiana was colonized with negro voters from the south in order to nullify and neutralize the democratic vote of that state! He then pro. ceeded to reply to portions of Mr. Frye’s speech, regretting that gentleman’s absence, but at the same time quoting the couplet: “He who fights and runs away, may live to fight another day.” He repelled the assaults made by that Sena- tor upon the state of South Carolina, asserting that the people of that state were Hying in peace and harmony. Was this ingsatlate cru- sade upon the south never to stop? If secession had been @ mistake and a crime, how ge. ously had the south suffered for it. If the main- tenance of slavery had been a crime, how the revenges of time bad settled with her for IC. SOCIETY NOTES. Mrs. MacVeagh received a large number cf Visitors at the Attorney General’s residence, on Rhede Island avenue, yesterday. Her niece, Miss Virginia Cameron, and Mrs. Moore, for- merly Miss Florence Greenhow, who used to be a belle here before her marriage, assisted Mr’. MacVeagh in recelving. The Attorney General and his wife make a most favorable impres: sion by their manners upon all who meet toe.n. Many here knew Mrs, MacVeagh as Miss Cam. eron when her father was Secretary of War. The wedding at Gen. Meigs’ residence la: evening of Licut, J. Forsyth Meigs, U. S. and Miss Jane Perry Lae of Maryland, was &@ very beautiful one, The cheerful pariors were adorned with flowers. Instead of brides- maids the bride was attended by two little nieces, Her brother, Commander Frank Rodgers, U. S. N,, was the groom’s best man. Rev. Harry Ipgersoli Meigs, the groom’s brother, was the ofiiciating c! man. Except @ few intimate friends of the two families, rela- tives only were invited to the wedding. The phia. A number of elegant presents were re- ceived, and a handsome collation was enjoyed by. the guests.

Soy at the aj ppouied hour the bridal party arrived, (the bride being accompanied by her father, Commodore Nich- olgon), and were met at the aitar by the groom, accompanied by his best man, Mr. W. H.

A ——— The Repnblican Caucus, AGREEMENT TO HOLD EXECUTIVE SESSIONS, BUT TO CONTINUE THE DEADLOCK—THE CHINESE TREATIES AND UNIMPORTANT UNOPPOSED NOM- INATIONS TO RE ACTED ON—A COMMITTER OF SEVEN, WITH MR. DAWES AS CHAIRMAN, TO AR- RANGE A PROGRAM, Tbe adjourned republican caucus yesterday afterncon was largely attended, and lasted about three hours. The discussion was free and the sentiment that no action calculated to weaken the present position of the republicans, in behalf of majority rule, was unanimousiy expressed. It was the general volce of the cau- cus, however, that important nominations ought to be confirmed; that proper considera- tion for the executive required this, The ques- ‘tion then was to fix upon a line of action that Would confirm necessary nominations without In apy shape or Manner ap) ig to abandon one jot or tittle cf the position they have been fighting for—majority rule. It was also urged that the Chinese treaties would have to be con- sidered very soon, in Tatufied abd accepted poth within the time prescribed. Having virtually concluded that some executive action should be had, the policy to put it Jn force was next dis- cussed. Finally the chairman was authorized to appoint A COMMITTEE OF SKVEN, who shall take into consideration the time when executive sessions shall be held; to ar- range for early-action upon nominations to fill vacancies, and after that such nominations as are not centested; this committee to report back to a caucus to be held within a few days. Chairman Anthony, of the caucus, has not yet appointed the committee, but it is known that r. Dawes will be the chairman of the commit- tee. Messrs, Dawes and Anthony will consult sometime during this afternoon or evi upon the composition of the committee wit the view of making it as conservative as possi- ble and to represent all the Interests and ele- ments of republican Senators, It has been substantially to make the Chinese treaties the subject of the first executive session. The people of the Pacific coast are urging some ection on these treaties, as it appears that a daily avel of about 1,000 Chinese immigrants {s pouring into Call- ifornia ports. The committee will endeavor to prevent any contested nomination from comtng up because It is necessary to keep the republi- Can coiumn solid in the present dead-lock, THE NOMINATION OF ROBSRTSON, for Instance. would, if it should be brought up In an cxecutive session, create differences and perhaps dissensiqn. Mr. Mahone has urged, in his own behalf, against this case being brought Up, as he would not care to be fo! to vote either against the administration or against Copkiipg, It is reported, however, that Mc. Conkling Is not disposed to pledge himself to apy specific tme for action on Robertson; that he thinks he has the riget to make the fight whenever be can win. ‘he caucus committee, however, will endeavor to arrange these Matters satisfactorily. “The republicans paying determined to continue the dead- lock, it 18 argued that individual Sena- tors must set aside personal affairs for the general good. The contest over the Robert- son case would almost necessarily divide the Tepublicans. Stanley Matthews’ nomination will be acted upon, but Chandler's name will probably go over until next winter. IT I8 BELIEVED THIS AFTERNOON that the caucus committee will be able to per- form its work in time to report next Monday. and that probably the first executive session will be held next Tuesday. One Lae pur- Poge of the committee, 80 it 1s said, 1s to ar- Tange, if possible, to —— the fight over the Robertson case untilnext December. ~ THE GREAT STEAL. arks by New York Editors. ‘The Damning Figures.

Brady has been on the Government of the United States. Oneday the inquiry into the star route contracts is called an ‘infamous vitrol-throwing enter- prise,” and it is asked whether the President or Postmaster General deserves the credit for it. On another the Administration is charge1 with being under the influence of Tilden, of supplying ‘the polecats of the press” with a Testival, and much more to the same purpose. What Brady Omits to Say. IN. ¥. Post.} ‘What Brady omits to say is more significant than what hesays. He does not refer to tho peremptory demand for his resignation, which was promptly sent in without protest. He makes no mention of the grave imputations implied in this dismissal or of the facts which have been published since semt-ofliclally. He cannot disguise the truth that he is called upon in effect To defend himself against charges made not by “a few newspaper correspon- dents” and “disgraced contractors,” but by the Postmaster General and the President of the United States, .

The French and American governments may yet finda formula which will secure England’s attendance. It 13 understood that the delay of the conference Ju getting to work is due to this difficuity. ‘The Irwh Land Problem.
