SENATE. Spscial Dispatch to Tux Brx. Wasaserox, April 5.—Ono the opening uf the senate, Mr. McPher- 500 call d attention to rule elght, and claimed the right to present his peti tion for the relief of Michal Boyton, a United Siates citizen, all-gd to be confined unjusily in an Eoglish prison. The chair decided the petition could ouly be read, if mo objection was made. The rule was discassed by Mossrs, Ferry, Hoar, Dawes and McPharaon. The petition was finally received and referred to the committee on for- eign affairs Dilat ry motions were then begun, aud several inadequate votes taken. At 12:30, Mr. Bayard began a speech 1o jusrification of the atttude of the democratic side of the senate Quring the past ten days. He re- viewed the proceedings of the senate to show that when the actaal mujority of the senate was discovered the dem ocrats withbeld opposition, s the records will show, sud consented to the organisation of committess. Now, however, the democrats had only been using their just rights to check the desire of the majority to ex- ecotive act.on on the business for which the seesion was called. He then weat into precedents. He de nied a parallel between the present case and that of two years ago. Then the session of the seuate was an open one, and, besides that, one of the in- cumbent officers who was then dis- played, had declared himself partisan. Now the chaoge of officers is uncalled for and out of place. The fact of the veglect of the republicans to consider the executive business, and the petty excuses they presented for it, furn- ished just grounds for democratic opposition, He acknowledged the issue wa« a contest. The republicans could not afford to sow seeds of gen- eral repudiation in any v easure, but the recogoition of & repudiationist and his friends was closely ki to it. The failure of any true democrat to w an assaul: on the credic of any state in che union, was a gross b glect of daty. Sure'y the end, the disente goation of the democratic party of Virginis, could not jasti'y the means, aud - he mens could not jastify them. selves. Mr. Sherman them spoke. He called attention to the fact that even freemen's privileges might be abused. When any party used he rules of the sonate for opposition reasons they wero treapassing on revolutionary grounde. The speaker bad expected more weighty reasons for the position of the senator from Delaware. He had lis- tened carefully, and had recognized o real reson for the determined op- position of the democrats, Mr. Sher wan, in the ourse of bis speech, summed up some of the reasons pre sented by Mr. Buyard, for the posi tion of the democracy. One of these was that Mr. Mahoue had been a democrat and that they bad & claim, in hooor, to his vote. He would not etop to.repaat what had been shown, that Mabune was not elected a demo- orat, and had repestedly dissvowed bourbonism. Tho people of the north well know the ostracism that followed the Declaration of Independ- ence on the part of southern demo- crats, and hence they were not slow to welcome ove who hed dared to come out in an independent positlon. So far as euch men pro- posed to repudiate any part of any debt, sta e or national, the speaker was utrerly opposed to it. The claim that the election of Riddieberger w uld disintegrate the dewoerecy, was one that the speaker could not under- stand. He hoped it would have that effict. If he thought it would, he would mors earnestly engage in’ the contest The success of republican- tem in Virginia would be of the great- est good to the country, and well worth fighting for. No bargain hai been made; no promises given. Tne parpose of the republicsns was as clear s day, snd could not be con- taminsted by such imputations. If the country was in danger from repu- duation, the democrats should remem- ber that they represented the party who had controlled every state where repudiation of any kind had been at tempted. Bec.use an all.god, bat not proven, repudiationist haa bsen nom inated for a petty office, was no reason why the wheels of government should be blocked. What gusrantee was there that some opposition would not be met in 1he consideration of execu- tive business, far which the opposition nxious! When the minor- to rule, the majority coald not yield without danger to the great institations of the country. Such doctrine was davgerous, indeed. McPherson asced if anyone could show one act of Mr. Mahone before election disclaiming the demo- cratic party. Mcr. Hosr read sn ex‘ract from a speech of Mr. Mahone's in answer, and this led o further qaestions aa to the repudistion record of the senator from Virginia. Mr. Hoar was firm in the declaration that Mr. Mahone came to the republicans in honesty, and even the senator from Delaware could not refuse to welcome such an one. Mr. Bayard nothing to do from one party t diation was the issue. “But suppore it isu't the issuel” suggested Mr. Hoar. ““Your own party has declared it,” replied Mr. Bayard. “Ideny it," continued Mr. Hoar. “‘And I offirm it,” concluded Mr. Bayard. Mer. Hoar was willing to let the sen- ator rest on his belief. He spoke further, however, and called the dem id he woald have readjuster, and advocating the pay- ment in Virginia of fifty cents on the dollar. Mr. Hear also gave motice that he hoped to-morrow to enter | 300, all parlismentary rales to defeat | ocrats’ attention to a speech of Mr. | Vance, in which he declared himaelf a | tully apon a discusslon of the finanzisl condition of North Carolins, which had been attacked in a tecent speech of Mr. Mahone. At4:20p. m., on motion of Mr. Dawes, the senate adjourned till 12 m. to-morrow. CAPITAL NOTES. CATERING To CONKLING. Special Disvatches to The Ese.

David Davis Ttia alleged that both Davis and Robertson have consented, and that the plan Is backed by a majority of the senstors in Washington, as well as by the enti e cabinet. The only way to have this done is to have the collectora man of national repu tatlon from some other state, and have the custom house appointments ei tirely dit m purely state in- floence. The president is said to b6 ltl.mngly supported In this contem- made sgainat the proposed nomization of Judge Davis. GARPIELD ON COALITION. State Senator Lewis, of Virglnia, was at the White Huse yesterday, with a delegation composed of col- ored republicans of the state. They saw the president and had an inter- view with kim relating to the policy of the republican party of Virginia It was urged upon- the president that %o encourage a liberal movement, ss it had been developed of late, es- pecislly as regarded the position of Senator Mahone and what had geown out cf it in the state. The president replied that he was fally in sympathy with that movement, and would do ail in his power to fosterit. e thought the proper policy for republicans to parsue was that they should combine with the dis ted elements of dem- ocracy, whenever such action was not conflicting with their interests. Such a course, he thought, would conduce to building up the party. Hedidnot, he saio, endorse the position assumed by ultra repablicans in Virginia, who opposed any coalition with Senator Mahone and his followers, and were sirong in advocating that he should receive mo support or countenance from the straigh out republicans.

The opening of operations on the ground wc Harney sireet, on which the Millard block will shortly be erected, has developed a serlous little difficolty with a refractory occapant of a portion of the premlses, which end- od summarily Tuesday in a sheriff’s u Tt appears that Ed. Calver occupied part of the lot with a stable. Prior to Dr. .iercer’s sale of ‘the land to Mr. Millard, the Doctor states that Calver agreed for a trifling consideration to resign certain leasa rights which he posseased. After the sale of the prop- erty, itis stated that he increased his demands, and it was finally agreed to build for him, in desirable locality a forty stall stable. KEventually he claimed that this was not satiefactory, and finally demand- ed $1,500 to vacate the lot, the ar rangements having 8o far progressed that any demand would be accadad to. In the meantime certain creditors of Calver replevined various articles of his property, including the lease right. The latter was offered for sale Tuesday morning sad purchssed by Dr. Mercer for $100. Baldwin, the bouse mover, was on hand, and at once began removing the building. Culver appeared on the sceme with some of his friends, olaim- to have an Injomction.
