WasHINGTON, April 14—Messrs Mahone »nd Ben Hill were among the very few senators present wheu the body was called to order to-day, aud with Don Cameron, who came shortly after, were parties to s general iuter- change of good natured comment of the scene yeste Considerable time was wasted in waitinz for a quo- rum, but finally an ineffectanl motion to proceed to the consideration of ex- ecutive businees, developed the fact that forty-one senators were present to vote. Mer. Morgan, of Alabams, then took thefloor and began a long speech. He commenced with a detailed review of nearly every epeech made on the re publican side, evidentally taking liter ally the words of Mr. Davis, when he said: “Let the debate go on.” He thought things had reached that con- ditlon in the senate when a man could not debate without a pair of derrin- gers n his prcket. He fully took ap the issue, and said that the whole ob- ject of the present republican move- ment was to break up the dep.icratie party, and dilated upon it st Liogth He next proceeded to discuss the issue of free ballct and falr count. He talked for nearly three hours, wittiout sayiog anythiog of novel oz peculiar Interest. Mr. Brown,of Georgla, followed Mr. Morgan. Amongother things he spoke of the recent remarks of Mr. Hawley, any'denled that universal suffrage was the law of the world. It was not even the law of any civilized country of the world. In the south, any man had the right to vote, but not iu Mas- sachusetts, Connecticut or Rhode ls- land. He then went into a review of the suffrage laws of those states. The usetts senator repeatedly tried to interrupt the epeaker, but he de clined to yield the foor until he might have finished his speech. He took up the dootrine of state rights as laid down by the New England senators, and asserted that no state interposed more bars to legal suffrage tiun Mas sachusetts. Should her -srulos be adopted and enforced fu Geor- gla, he said, eighttenths of the ocolored voters of that state would be deprived of their suffrage. In sup- port of the idea of cohesiveness of execative patronage, the sposker quo ted figurea to show how few office- holders in the public departments came from Georgia, and argaed that the party could not be kept togeiher without patronage, and that the re publican party in_Georgia was being wiped out by northern injustice. The independent democrats of the souts were not on the road to recruit the depleted ranks of the republicau party. Nowand then an smbitious young man, or office seeker, might go over to them, but when the watchword of reconstraction should be flaunted, thinking young men of the south would hold aloof. The idea of rapublicauism, that the south still stands as it stoed at the cluse of the war, is prepo ous. The society of the south could not be disorganized. The mistake would readily be recogniz d if the re- publicans hoped that southern inde- pendents would follow the leadership of the senstor from Virginia. He was not sure but wha' it might not be- me necessary to do o to thwart the republican purpose in Virginia, fn de- fense of the threatened reconstruction of soclety in that state. Mr. Hoar followed in a speech In condemnation of such a threat to overcome the just msjority of voters of Virginla or any other state. Mr. Brown made a brief reply, which he concluded by saying that when the senator frem Massachusetts saw fit to explain his receat imputa- tions as to treason and revolution on the part of the democrate’ position in the senate, he would havea few words 10 say in reply. Mr. Hoar then uudertook to cor- rect some statements of Brown cou- ocerning the number of disfranchised adults in Massachusetts, and a discus. slon fellowed, in which Browa, Batler and Call confronted Mr. Hoar and which wae condacted more to the amasement thau to the edlficacion of those who heard it. Mr. Hawley alsc hada word to say for Comnecticut. He claimed that no one of ordinary intelligence neea be deprived of his vote in that state. He had never known of a man there to be deprived of his vote by violence or to be comvelled to vote contrary to the dictates of his owt conscience. At a tew minutes before six o'clock the senate adjourned till 12 o'clock Mon- day. CAPITAL NOTES.

A large nom- ber of such notices came this mora- iug, besides numerous others by tele- graph. The democrats are bound to stick where they are. Itis for the republi- cane to say when the deadlock skall be broken. They say: *‘We are ready to attend to the business fir which the session was called, and sfter that is Bnished, to renew the fight over the William | | organization.” They believe the re- publicans must give way soon, as the pressure of important business betoro | the senate is yleld. Logan eaid the republic were bound to stick till the democrats yield to the right of the majority to organize, Attorney-General McVeagh, who has been attorney for the cotton tle men against the hoop iron manufac- turers, has withdrawn his appesrance from the case, and will probably be consulted when the case mow before Searetary Windom comes up.

The manufacturers and dealers in butter are on the war path in conse- quence of a shipment of oleomarga rine, Invoiced as butter, from this country, to Canads and Europe. The secratary of the treasury had referred to the attorney-general the question a8 to whetker collector of customs hes the power to examine packages invoiced as butter and offerred for shipment to points outside of the Uni- ted States. The question is consid- ered of great Importance and the de- cislon of the attorney-general is awaited with laterest. Inguiry among senators to day as to their opinions of the letter of Sen- ator Davis, of Illinois, on the political situation revealed the fact that but few had read it. Those who had, both republicans and democrats, held that It was ridiculons to talk of dis- banding the existing partles, the democrats belleving they were yet to come into their inheritance, and the republicans believiog that the pros- perity of the country depends upon the continuance of their orgavization. The trath is the Davls letter did not atiract much attention at the capltol. The only criticism upon it was that the letter was Jjust what might have been expected from an iadependent, and especially the most poominent in- dent in the land, who, if & new party was formed out of old ones, would probably be the presidential caudi- date of the new party.

The firat step in the nataral and proper order of business will be to refer pending nominations. Then the committees will report back such ss they deem important to have confirmed, and, a8 this proceeding will be enttrely roga- lar, the democrats cannot object to 1t. When the confirmations agreed upon by the republicans shall have been diaposed of they can resume the pres. ent fight and stick to 1t as long they please.

JOHN BROWN'S FAMILY WIFE AND DAUGHTER OF THE HERO STRUGGLING AGAINST POVERTY. San Jose (CaL.) Mercury, March 3, There reside on a small farm in the foothills near Saratoga, in this county, the widow and daughter of one of the most noted men of modern history— John Brown, the martyr champlon of human treedom, who lost his life in the.fall of 1859 through his sturdy and plous zeal in behalf of the slaves whom he sought te liberate. The widow is aboat 70 of age, the burden of whose support falls upsn the daoghter, & worthy and caltured lady, who ia illy fitted for the rongh farm work which she 18 obliged to per- form. Bat she performs her alloted tasks uncomplainiogly, snd both mother and daughter would be reason- ably happy aud contented, ss well as Independent, bat for the shadow of deb that haogs over their little home and the extrs efforts they are com- velled to pat forth to meet their monthly interest. Their home Is moet- gaged for $1000, which, it wonld seem %0 us, there ought to be noble patriot hearts enough in this atate to assume and pay off, and thereby leave these worthy women free from the embarass- ments which now weigh them down. It should ba done for his sake—the grand old man of Kansas fame, the hero-martyr for freedom, who died that this Unlon, purified of the foul stain of human slavery, might live ! It has been suggested that the good people of San Jose get them up some sort of & benefi to help them out of thetr embarrassment. In the mean time there may be some neble souls who read these lines who would be made richer in their own lives by the performance of another generous act, and who woald contribute to their re- lief. Any monies forwarded to the Bank of San Jose or to the First Na- jonal Gold Bank of this city, or to this office, will be religiously applied to the object intended, and the do- nor's names will evermore be en- shrined in the gratetal remembrance of the widow and daaghter of John Brown, whose Body lies moldering in the grave, But whose soul goes marching on.
