General McVeagh Denes that He Intends Leaving the Cabine:, The Louisania Senators Wade Into Bach Other Without Restraint or Limit. SE Specia! Dissach to Tun Bae WasmiNoroN, March 20.—At 1 o'olock, wher the r.gular order was called, Senatcr Johnston (Va ) stated that ho might find it wecessary to reply to Senator Mahoue, but could not until be should sce on the record first what tho senator iad said, Witen he had a caanco to see his colloagues’ remark ke might find something to Senator Hampton was ready now, and took the floor for a speech. e desired to call atteution to a state- ment by Mr. Mahono in relation to stato debt of South Carolina, When hoeaid it had been run up in the war to 824,000,000, tho speaker eaid the debt had reached that figure, uot through the influence of the true debt of the state, but throagh the re- publicans and carpet-baggers. He denied also that the democrats of the state repudiated suy pastof this dobt. Senator Butler supplomented this statement with the declaration tha’ only sct of repudiation ever summated in the state was by republ nd when under entiro republi- e government, Seuntor Iampton continaed to de- flae his position in the present sanomalous character of the senate; ho denied that he was in the minority. He denied that there was & majority her side under the co osition was brought abor unjust coalition of a corrups party. the idsa of a special e to find out if any seat in the senate was controlled by proffers of position or place. He referred to the magnanimity of the democratic majority in_refusing to uuseat anlaw. fally elected republicans. Senstor Jonas (La.) desired to dis- claim any share in the magoanimity referred to. Ho wanted no sympathy for Lis state, particulatly those who rafused to help to right the wrong done here. Mr. Groome took the floor, and made a speach_disclaiming a majority of republicans in the senate, and de- tho position of the so-callad He denied the right of the republicans to turn out efficient officers of the senate in the seeslon called for the trazsaction ef executive business alone. His speech concluded with & moti-n to procced to the cousideration of executive bu- sinoss—ayes 27, nays 28, Mr. Brown (Ga ) took the floor and referred to the necessity of replying 1o some points 1n Senator Mahce's speech without having that remarkable document before him. He spoke par- ticulsrly of the charge of considers- vn made egainst him. Oa the sub- ject of pro slavery and state sover- eigaty the speaker admitted the incontistency of abiding by the results of the war. ~ He went into the late contest deliberately os a thorough rebel, belioving he was right, snd he had no rogrets. At 8:30 p. m., Mr. Brown co-cluded his speech in reply to Mshone, and Mr. Harris at once noved that the senate go iuto executive session. This was lost, and Mr. Beck made a good ‘humored speech, prefacing his remarks by a motion to refer the resolu ion of of the senator from Massachusetts to a committes ou disesses. This was declared out of order, a motion to indefinttely postpone taking precedence. Mr. Beck spoke in regsrd to the records of Riddleberger and of John- ston, candidates for the clerkship. He did not desire to put in a man as chief clerk who had avowedly handled money for Gen. Washburn in Minne- sota for election purposes. Sonators Hawley and McMillan re- minded Senator Beck that all the charges againet G:n. Washburn had fallen to the ground. Mr. Beck rejoined that ho kad said nothing against Gen. Washburn, But to see whether Johnston was the one who handled his money for clection- eering pucposes «was well worth looking into. For this purgose he moved o adjourn. This also was lost by a vote 25 to 27. Senator Kellogg being awarded the flror, he touk excoption to the rem rk of his collesgue, Senator Jouss, who had inferred, earlier in the day, that the spesker was not d senator from Louisians. He referred to a democratic editorial in a Lovisiana paper, which declared Sauator Jonas had done nothing in the tenate fo: two years, but they unseated his eol- leage and had mrde no record that wouldTead any one to think thav the democrats of Louisians had any rep- resentative in the senste. He had hoped that bis colleage would have brought up. the question of repudia- tion of the debt of their state. On that question he was anxious to meet him or any ohpr senator, and would try and show just where the blame for Louisiana’s diegraceful fioanctal action in timos past rightfully belonged. He might yet find it necossary to enter into the question of his lawfal eloc- tjon to the senate, if his collesge do. sired hjm to reopen the bloody record made by the democrata‘in wrestin ightful majorities -from the republi oms in their state. Such ree- ords alone evabled his colleagne to eay that he alone represented the state upon the senste floor. The present question was not on a simple choice of senste officers, but_whother one who represented a now depsrtura in tke gouth should be allowed to cast his vote where it would bring honor to the nation, and where it would ex- emplify the idea of a fall vote, a freo ballot and a fair count. The speaker, in the course of bis long rpeech, made the assertion tha' the Nucholly gov- erament, in Louisans, owed its ex. istance to theLouisana lottery, direct- lybyaman who fired on Sumter, and another corfederate leader, who became famous by reasons of his raide o the Shenandoah valley, and this cabie, butin view of t10 fap: that the | was prosident has decided aguinst the ses | nother reason why he was said Bot to represcrt the state that sent him. Sea‘or Jonss thought it was un- necessary to enter into discussion with his eollesgueas to the cvidence ferred to. The story is an oli ore inboth bouses of congrees, and all knew of the infamous history of the stato while his colleaguo was acting a8 governor. Ay evidence to ths coutrary was & slander on the people. He asserted that the democrats, cver cethe reoonetruction, tad a ma- jority in-the state, aud had been e {irled to ita offices’ Timo, and tme 1t hso stclen from them. His losgus wea elected by a mub, mot at all ke n properly coustituted logislature of thestaie. ~Tus speaker did not belicve ttere was a man in tho stato who conscientiously believed that bis_collesgus was_rightfully elected. He that claimed L-usiana elections were free and as fair a8 in any state of tae union. A large pro+ portion of *ha blacks of Lousiaua stand willlngly with the domocrats, aud to + Inrge exient ombraced the demo- cratio party. Thoy may have been misled for a ‘ime, but Lave mow awakensd from darkness.

Senator Kellogg again ross and de- nied that his colleague, or any senator had shown that ono d llar had been issued under his sdmistatration for the payment of the debt of the state. Ho offercd to give way for any one who could. No one embracad the op- portanity, aud he proceedd to burl back tho charges of financial maliea- sance to th: democrats themselves.

Loxvox, March 29—10 p m.— Lord Boaconsfield had asevers attack hma, the goat hayiog fully g o pe b:«’::i:y. ‘tho asthma was relieved. A bulletin issued says Bes- consfisld passed a restless night, part- Iy because of the pain of the gout. The paroxysms of asthma are loss sever but fiequent. His doctor says an unusually severe cough has prevented the paticnt from rest, which i necessary to overcome weskness produced by loog confinement. He does not conceal the fact that there is considerable danger, and when his great aga is cosidered, the prospect of his recovery seems all the moro doubtfal. Later—Beaconsfield bas suffored a dangerous relapse, and is now lyiog very low aud unconszious. A consulta- tion has been called of all the eminent physiciana in London. Loxpox, March 30—1 a. m.—Lord Barrington, who is s constant attend. ant at the bedside cf the ex-premier, announced at 7 o'ciock last evening that, while the condition of Lord Beaconsfield was still very grave, and caused great anxiety, he was at that moment slightly better. The consul- tation of physicians led to a alight chavge in treatment, which was rec- ommended by the celebrated Dr. Quain, «f Harley street, and assented 0 by the other doctors. This change appeared to give s me relief to the pa- tieut. At his residence were a num ber of friends, and_his former private secretary and intimate associata, Lord Lawton. Mr. Montagus Cory was at his bedside all day long. A continu- ous stream of callers bave left thelr cards. Tho residence of Lord Bea- consfield is in the qaies crescent which lics bick of White Hall palace, and of which Scotland yard forms the eastern side. The house is emall and unpretending, and is ove of the old- fashioned dwellings which etiil remsin in that part of London. _Very near the front of the house stands the statue of James L, erected on the very apot whare the head of his father, Charles L., fell when severed from his body by the axe of the execationer. Later—A great sensation has been caused over Lord Beaconfield's illness, and at midnight it was repcried that he was dead. This created great ex- citement in Fleet sheet, and The Times has a biography of the nobls earl in type, but was obliged to with hold it, as the patient’s condition was slightly improved. Darlag the night the¥queen sent frequently to_inquire after his condition. Mr. Gladstons walked to the residence «f Lord Beaconsfield, and made special efforts to know the state of the patient.

Phtiadelghi Tmes Speculatfon on the prics of ail finds prominence to-day. Magnificent oil exchanges were erected in_Oil City, Titysvilloand Bradford. Hera speca ation is indulged in on_the price of oil, the oil certifictes being the basis. QOae instance of how mn become rioh in this specalation oecurred ia Oil Gity. Two brothers by the name cf Goettle, in 18667, were bootblacks around the stroets of the oil town. success still followed thew, and to- dsy they are among the weal'hiest | and moat suceessful speculatorn in the region. The mygnificent geacrosity | of cil men is well known. A poor and seedy woman has of-en had thou- sands of dollars raised for her smong acrowd of cil men, and in a faw min- | ules she was raised from | poverty to opulence. They | spend money like water, and 10 towns in the countey will ¢hsw bet- | ter dressed men and women than these. They all almost uni sally wear diamonds upon their s bosoms, which in many cases they ara | forced to paw for necessities befors they have become cven accustumad to thew. Speculation is the llfe blcod of Ol Cuy. When the market ls dull, inaciive for a few days, it i1 no- ticeabls in every place. Business stag- nates, men go: the ‘‘blues,” aud the tows: is dull In0¥Ed. Tat let the mac- ket bo variable, fortunes are being made and lcat, mon are excited, the streets are slive with oil-brokers rushing back and forth between bauks and exchange with cortificates, drafts, checks, and even money in their hands. The wives of the brokers crowd to the exchange, and filling the tors’ gallery watch the operations of their husbands. Some time in one of these ex- changes, tho gallery was filled to over- flowing. The markat was leapine up at tho rate of 10 cents an hour. One of the heaviest buyers wis on the wrong side. He saw his fortana dis appearing like mist at the rate of $25 000 & houe. Fos six hours this con tinued, and he wss forced fo “lay down,” as it ia called, to bo announced a bankrupt, in cther words. His wife was & witness of the wholo sceme. An hour before tne worst came she left the cxchaoge, proceed- ed to a dry goods store, tock off her seal skin sacque, and sold From that placesha want to the jo eler's and dispesed of her diamonds and all her silver. When har hoshand roturned home, diz-onsolate and downcast, sho met Lim at tho door Crassed in a neat calico wrapper. Ho had been a clerk beforo fortune smiled upon him, and she & m deat school teacher. ~ Sha informed him that sho bad discharged all the ser- vants, and said that they would live as formerly, she doing tho work, Sho hauded him $5500 as the resalt of selling her juwelry. and told him to use it. Joy and hopo beamed in his eyes, and f.und » place in hia heart again. Ho went againto the businesa. In ono moath he had regained bis former pesition, had re deemed everything his wife bad pledg- od, and was living ss formerly. Three timos within six years was this man saved in this manner by his wife. To- day ho is 030 of the most dari g and successful of our operators.

Tows is bounded on the notth by imsginary line, on the east by the Mississippi river, on the south by another imoginary line, and on the weat by the Misscuri river, This de- scribed plat of ground contains 55, squard miles, or 35,228,800 acres Barring the ground cecapled by our numerous to ities, the water courses and a few lakes, every equars foot of this yast area is tillable, and responds to tho industry of the farm— er with abundsnt crope. Anything can be raised in Towa. Corn—with: out going any farther, corn suggests hogs. There is an affinity between hogsand corn. And epeaking of boga, it can safely be said that more hogs are ralsed to the acre in Iowa than in any other state in the Union, and it would not be out of beuads to veature the assertion that 10 other 35,128,800 acres in the world raises 58 wany hogs or a8 good ones. To an T pizis a loxary: to au Iowan a hog is bonanza, and car- ries acound on his four feet tho possi- ilites of every luzury. Taers is richaess in him from his nose to the curl of his tail. His bristles make brushes; his bide, leather; his sides, bacon; 'his_quarters, shoulders and bame; his fat, lard, butterine, oleo- margatioe, suine, wegon greasa, e'c.; his lean ‘mekes saussge; and three parts of him that beat guino as a fer tilizer.

He is clean-looking brate, a fat-locking brute, the carl of his fail tighter than that f other hogs, and instead of s falsetto equeal common to ordinary hogs, he has sn unctuous mezz0-s0prano or & choke fat contralto tone of voice. The Towa hog is better in every respect than any other hog known to nataral history. He can get fatier than any other breause there is more and better corn here than else- where in the world; he is freer from disesse. because the atmoaphere s dryer avd the soil of the country less apt to retsin moisture than the olay binke of the Missour! or the bog. gy prairies of Ilinois, fr iostance.
