Sa>sthe Sunt and Tribune: "The prospects of South Florida being f-upplied with railroads appear just now very bright.

A motion made by Mr. Allison that the Senate go into executive session was sup supported - ported supported by the Republicans and opposed by the Democrats. Quite s sensation was occasioned by the fact that Mr. Mahone voted with the Repub Republicans. - licans. Republicans. There was slight applause in the galleries, but it was promptly checked. The motion was rejected - yeas 35, nay* 37. Mr. Cockling then took the floor and maintained that tbe Republicans were right in not consenting to an organization against a constitutional majority of tbe Senate. The debate was here Interrupted by Mr. Morgan, who offered a resolution denounc denounc' - ' denounc' lng the assassination of the Czar of Russia, and extending to the government and peo people - ple people of Russia sincere condolence. Laid on the table. Mr. Hill, of Georgia, then took the floor to continue the debate. He believed when everv seat should be filled the Senate would be Democratic, as It Is now. If he was wrong in that belief, be bad beeD deceived. Thirty-eight members of this body were sent here as One member, Mr. Davis, of Illinois, was not sent here as a Democrat, but was sent here by Democratic votes, and Id words of high aud lofty patriotism, and fidelity to his trust, he had on Friday an announced - nounced announced that he should be true to tbe trust which sent him here. The Senator from New York (Mr. Conkling) has stated that the Republicans will have a majori majority. - ty. majority. How has this been accomplished? By whom has that wonderful coalition been accomplish* and, by which somebody 6ent here as a Democrat has been "taken and carried off" by the Republican parly? Why is It that we have no right to act on tbe assumption that thirty-nine member* are still Democrats? He vindicated the honor, Integrity and fidelity of the States and the people, and the principles of all tbe thirty-nine who were sent here as Democrats, and denied that any one had proven treacherous to bis mission. Continuing, Mr. Hill said he did not blame a man for a change of opinions, but be contended that it was his duty to give notice of that change to the persons with whom he had been associated. No Democrat had given such notice to that side of the Senate, and he (Hill) therefore assumed that no such change had occurred. He denied that aoy m an had a right to accept a commission from one party and execute It in the interest of another party. Manhood, courage, bravery, fidelity, morality, respect for the opinions of manhood,required that when a man had ar arrived - rived arrived at tbe conclusion that be could not carry out the trust which had been confided to him, It was his duty to return his com commission, - mission, commission, and tell his constituents that he had changed his mind. He did not believe that a single one of the thirty-eight men elected as Democrats would hold in bis pocket a commission conferred by Democrats,and without giving any notice to his constituency or hts asso associates, - ciates, associates, would execute that commission In advocacy of the adverse party. He denied the right of the Vice President to take part in organizing tbe Senate, but would not raise that question. "If," he continued, "you have but one, the vote will be 38 to 38. Who Is that one?" [Laughter on the Republican side.J "Who is that one," repeated Mr. Hill, In a loud and excited tone of voice, "who is ambitious to do wbat no man in tbe history of this country has ever done - to stand up in this high presence and proclaim from this proud eminence that he disgraces the commis commission - sion commission he holds?" [Applause In the galleries.] "Who is it ? who can it be ?" [Laughter, while every eye was turned upon Mabone, who was seated among the Repub Republicans.] - licans.] Republicans.] "Do you (addressing the Republi Republicans) - cans) Republicans) receive him with affection? Do you receive him with respect? Is such a man worthy of your association ? Such a man is not worthy to be a Democrat. Is he worthy to be a Republican ? If my friends from Illinois, Kansas and New York were to come to me holding Republican commis commissions - sions commissions in their pockets, 6ent here by Repub Republican - lican Republican Legislatures, and were to whisper to me that they would vote for a Democratic organization, I would scorn to accept their votes. 1 would tell them that If they came they would be expelled with ignominy from the ranks of their party." He closed by maintaining that those who made up the thirty-eight Democrats in the Senate would stand by the constituents that elected them. "They were," he said, "elected as Democrats, and on a question of organization (which is a political and party question) they will act with the Democrats. You gentlemen (addressing the Republi Republican - can Republican side) will be deceived if you think otherwise, and therefore there is no neces necessity - sity necessity for you to enter on all this filibuster filibustering." - ing." filibustering." Mr. Mahone, who occupied a seat on tbe Republican side, advanced to the edge of the area fronting the Clerk's desk and pro proceeded - ceeded proceeded to reply to Mr. Hill. That gentleman, he said, had manifestly engaged in an effort to disclose his, Ma Mahone's, - hone's, Mahone's, position on the floor. Mr. Hill - "I do not know what your posi position - tion position Is, and how could I disclose it?" Mr. Mahone - " The gentleman bas assumed not only to be the custodian here of the Democratic party of the nation, but has tried to a6ert his right to 6peak for the constituency which l have the privilege in part of representing here. He has done so without their assent (addreesing himself directly to Mr. Hill, and advancing toward him). I owe you, sir, and I owe those for whom you undertake to speak here, noth nothiug - iug nothiug [marks of encouragement on the Republican side and In the galleries.] I came here like a Virginian - not to repre represent - sent represent the Democracy for which you (Hill) stand. I came with as proud a claim to represent that people as you to represent the people of Georgia; won on fields where I have fought with you and others in the cause of my people and of that section in the late unhappy contest. That contest, thank God, is over, and as one of those engaged in it, and who has not here or elsewhere to make apology for the part he has taken In it, I said that I am not here as a partisan, nor am I here to represent that Democracy which has done so much injury to my section of the coun country. - try. country. "The gentleman undertook to say what constitutes a Democrat. I hold that I am an infinitely better Democrat than he. [Laughter.] He who stands nominally committed to a full vote, and a fair vote and an honest ballot, should see that they can be had in the State of Georgia, where tissue ballots are fashionable. [Applause.] I serve notice on that gentleman that I Intend to be tbe custodian of my own Democracy. Ido not intend to be run by the gentleman's caucus. I am In every sense a freeman here, and I trust to be able to protect my own rights, and to defend those of the people whom I represent. Certainly, to take care of mv own. I do not Intend again (addressing Mr. Hill directly) that you shall undertake to criticise my conduct by innu innuendoes. - endoes. innuendoes. I wish the Senator from Georgia to understand just here that the way to deal with me is to deal directly. We want no 'motions of discovery' to find out how I am going to rote. "I regret that so early after my appear appearance - ance appearance here I should have found it necessary to obtrude any remarks on this body. 1 would prefer to be a little modest; I would prefer to listen and to learn; bat I could not feel content, after what has passed to today, - day, today, to sit silent. Tbe gentleman (Mr. Hill) by all manner of insinuations, direct and indirect, has sought to discover who the Democrat is that may choose to exercise his right to cast his vote as he pleases, and to differ with the gentleman's caucus. He seems to have forgotten that I refused to take part In that caucus, which has not only waged war upon me, but upon those whom I represent, that has presumed to teach the people of Virginia honesty and true Democracy. Yes, sir, (addreesing Mr. Hill), you were duly notified that I took no part or lot in your political machinery, and that I was supremely indifferent to what you did. Yon were notified that I should stand on this floor representing In part the State of Vir Virginia. - ginia. Virginia. Certainly, the Legislature which e'ected me did not require me to state that I was either a Democrat or anything else. I suppose that the gen gentleman - tleman gentleman (Mr. Hill) could not get here from Georgia unless he said that he was a Demo Democrat. - crat. Democrat. Anyhow I came here without being required to state to my people wbat I am. They were all willing to trust me. I was elected by the people,not by the Legislature. For it waa an in the canvass, and no man was elected to the Legislature by the party with which I am identified, who was not Instructed to vote for me for the Senate. The gentleman has been chasing all round this chamber to see if he cannot find a partner somewhere. He has been looking around, occasionally referring to another Senator, to know exactly who that: Senator was who had the manliness and boldness to assert his opinions in this chamber free from the dictation of the Democratic caucus. I want that gentleman to know henceforth and forever that here is a man who dares stand here and defend his right against you and your caucus." [Loud applause and much laughter provoked by the violent gesticulations of Senator Mahone, who launched defiance at his adversary In a sort of miniature war dance.] Mr. HUI again took the floor, and told he could only understand the gentleman on the principle that a guilty conscience needs not an accuser. [Liughter on the Demo Democratic - cratic Democratic side.] He had not mentioned tbe Senator's name or State. He had only ask asked - ed asked who the Democrat was that was expected to vote with toe Republicans, and to his

Smyrna, Etc., Etc. St. Acoustiss, Fla., March 12 . - Editor Morning News: Our old Spanish town is too well know n as a popular winter resort to re require - quire require special mention in this connection, or to need any commendation from the pen of this writer. It has, already, a reputation broad as the land and old as the hills. It may be re regarded - garded regarded the pioneer among winter resorts in the South, and its fame is commensurate with the length and breadth of the entire country. No portion of the broad expanse of our great sunny Southern land can claim a finer reputa reputation - tion reputation for its delightful climate, its genial gunshine, its balmy breezes, its invigorating and rejuvenating atmosphere, its soft and salubrious sea air. than this venerable old city by the sea. While the country was compara comparatively - tively comparatively a wilderness, trodden only by the savage warrior and the wild beists ef tho forest, St. Augustine was favorably known to the public on account of its invigorating and health healthrestoring - restoring healthrestoring climate. With all classes of tourists and pleasure seekers, it has continued steadily to grow in favor, and each succeeding year brings with it its additional thousands to look upon the antiquities of this oldest town on the continent of America. All who visit it seem delighted with Its novel attractions and geuial climate. A few years ago, a half dozen poorly kept lioarding houses and a bare substitute for a ho; tel were all its accommodations for the enter entertainment - tainment entertainment of its stranger gu-scs, but the increase of travel to our old city has made it an abso absolute - lute absolute necessity, from year to t ear, to increase the facilities for the accommodation of visitors. The number of boarding places have been in increased, - creased, increased, almost to infinity. Almost everv pri private - vate private house has been thrown open for their en entertainment, - tertainment, entertainment, threa or four large and commo commodious - dious commodious hotels have recently been erected, and yet our city is not able, during the winter months, to furnish sufficient accommodations for its visitors. At the time of the present writing, many a kind hearted matron and venerable sire are restlessly tossine their weary limbs on a pallet upon the floor, to give up their own beds to strangers. This looks somewhat like conform conforming - ing conforming to the divine admonition: "Be careful to entertain strangers, as some have thereby en tertaiued angels unawares." Our old city seems tn be more appreciated on account of its quietness - so far from the hum and bustle and busy clatter of every-day life in the noisy and pent up cities. Many persons go away from home for the benefit of a month's respite from tho busy rounds in the daily treadmill of life, aud here they find rest and quiet without the tedious monotony com common - mon common to many watering places. Here we have all the facilities and appliances for sports, pastimes and amusements, suited to the inclinations, tastes and fancies of the various classes of visitors. Horseback riding, driving, gaming, strolling, curiosity seeing, shooting, fishing, hunting, sailing, rowing, strolling on the beautiful, sandy beach, and numberless other ways that the stranger can enj ly himself in and around our quiet old town without staving along at a breakneck speed to keep pace wilh the busy world around him. The world needs rest, and the great masses of mankind. In their eagerness for gain and devotion to business, never find out that they have time to indulge in this luxury, so essential to all animate nature St. Augustine has an antiqueness in its archi architectural - tectural architectural construction so very different from other cities that it gives an additional attrac attraction - tion attraction to the curiosity seeker and those interested in quaintness and novelty. The old (Spanish fort, about which so many thousands of pages in the last few years have been written, appears to be the chief object of attraction. It is an exhaustless subject for newsi aper correspond correspondents, - ents, correspondents, and seldom, if ever, a communication goes away without some new revelation from this gloomy old castle. Many mysterious legends and traditions go coupled with this antiquated old structure, and numberless are the tales of bloodshed and torture that are associated with its earlier history, r uperstitious persons, chil children - dren children and silly old darkies have been educated to believe that it is the abode of hobgoblins, hori ible ghosts, witches and the ante-chamber to pandemonium and the dwelling place of all the ghosts of ruined hopes since the world be began. - gan. began. Many other relics of antiquity are to be seen about the town that are immensely inter interesting - esting interesting to strangers. The Bay of St. Augustine is a beautiful little sheet of water lying directly in front of the city, affording delightful sailing to pleasure parties who indulge their fancies in this kind of amusement So completely landlocked is this bay as to aff >rd the safest anchorage to all vessels lying in our port. Ordinarily, our bar has from thirteen to eighteen feet of water, so there is but litt'e difficulty in the largest vessels entering the port at any time. Our port has one of the most magnificent and splendidly built light-houses on the whole Atlantic coast. It was built seven or eight yea s ago, as the tide-water was making rapid encroachments on the old one, and threatened its destruction. It has since fallen. The new one is much farther Inland, and Is a great deal more substantial. It is one hundred and sixty sixtyfive - five sixtyfive feet h gh; the old one was sixty feet. The new one has a revolving light of greatly im improved - proved improved mechanism, and revolves once in nine minutes, flashing three times with each revo revolution. - lution. revolution. The geographical position of this point will, at no ais taut day, make it one of vast commer commercial - cial commercial importance. It is only a matter of time, when a vast extent of the best country in Florida, south of this, will be opened up by connecting the waters of the Matanzas river with the Halifax and Indian rivers, making St. Augustine the port for the outlet of its sur surplus - plus surplus productions. A canal of eizht miles will unite the waters of the Bay of St. Augustine with the Halifax, thus opening up a commu communication, - nication, communication, aud transportation for a vast area of the most desirable and productive lands in the State. The Legislature that has just adjourned granted a char air and made a liberal donation of public lands to aid in the construction of this much needed and important enterprise. It is now only a question of time when this work will b3 done, which will give us an inland water communication from this place to the extreme southern point of the peninsula. With this outlet for the pi oductioDS of the country, millions of acres of fine farming lands will be immediately, brought into cul cultivation, - tivation, cultivation, that are now comparatively valueless for waut of efficient means of transportation. The projected line of the Jacksonville. St. Augustine and Halifax Railroad, which they are now locating, is destined to run through the same rich belt of sugar lands and connect with the Florida Keys But there will be enough work for the railroad and canal both when the country becomes settled up, which will surely be tbe case whan sazans of trans transportation - portation transportation is furnished. It can't be done before. Persons who have already settled in that lo locality - cality locality find It an onerous task to get their pro produce - duce produce to market, and get the necessaries of life, os they have, some of them, to haul their surplus on a one-norse cart, fifty, sixty to a hundred miles. When accessible by rail or steamboat navi navigation. - gation. navigation. that will evidently be the most desira desirable - ble desirable portion of Florida, as it is near the Atlan Atlantic - tic Atlantic coast, where It will have the benefit of the sea breezes, is remarkably healthy, the lands are fine, where all sorts of semi-tropical fruits can be raised: fish, oysters and game are abundant; vegetables of all kinds can be culti cultivated - vated cultivated in great abundance, beyond the reach of froet. The country, too. Is well adapted to the growth of oranges, the culture of sugar, long longstaple - staple longstaple cotton, etc.; in fact, anything may be cultivated here that is adapted to a semi semitropical - tropical semitropical climate. New Smyrna, slaty miles south of here, on this line, is the point where Dr. Turnbull and Sir William Duncan located their Minorcan colony in the year 1767, and the reports show t hat the j ield of the farm was very satisfactory, and their products had to be disposed of in the London markets. To these enterprising gentlemen St. Angue Anguetine - tine Anguetine Is indebted for the larger portion of Tier nresent population, for, as soon as the colony SmSmEi wa* disbanded, in the year 1776. at New Smyrna, they came * masse to St. Augustine, and their descendants remain here to Oils day.

astonishment, tbe Senator from Virginia said that he was the man. He had not said anything offensive to the people of Virginia, but be had said that the people of no section of the country would tolerate treachery. He had said that there were thirty-eight Senators who bad been elected as Democrats. Did the gentle gentleman - man gentleman deny it? Would he aay that far was not elected as a Democrat ? He said he was not required to state that be was a Democrat, and that in the next breath he said that he was a better Democrat that than he himself (Hill) was. Addressing himself to the Republicans, Mr. Hill said; "I commend him to you; take good care of him; nurse him well. [Laughter ] How do you like to have among you a worse Democrat than I am ?" Mr. Conkling - "Oh, no, not worse, bet better." - ter." better." Mr. Hill (scornfully) - "Oh, a better one ! Then my friend from New York (Mr. Conk Conkling) - ling) Conkling) la a better Democrat than I am ?" Mr. Logan - "He could not well be a worse one." Mr. Hill - " Never before bas there been such an exhibition in the Senate, where a gentleman shows his Democracy by going over to tbe Republicans. I will not defend Virginia. She needs no defense. She has given to the country and the world and humanity some of the proudest namec in history, and I say to the Senator lrom Virginia that neither Jefferson, nor Madison, nor Henry, nor Washington, nor Lee. nor Tucker, nor any of the long Ust of great men whom Vir Virginia - ginia Virginia produced ever accepted a commission to represent one party and came here and represented another party." | Applause on the Democratic side.] Mr. Mahone, who had returned to his seat on the Republican side - "Do I under understand - stand understand you correctly as saying that I accept accepted - ed accepted a commission from one party and came here to vote for another party ?" Mr. Hill - "I understand ihat you were elected as a Democrat." Mr. Mahone (imperatively) - "Answer the question." Mr. Hill (with provoking coolness) - "I say that you were elected as a Democrat and accepted your commission as a Demo Democrat." - crat." Democrat." Mr. Mahone (persistently) - "You said that I accepted a commission from one party and came here to represent another party." Mr. Hill (imperturbably) - "l said that that will be the case If you vote with the Republicans. You have not done it yet, and I say you will not do it." Mr. Mahone (Impatiently) - "l want to say, if it is not out of order here, that if the gentleman undertakes to make that state statement, - ment, statement, the statement is unwarranted and un true." Mr. Hill (composedly) - "Was not the gentleman acting with the Democratic par party, - ty, party, and was he not elected to this body as a Democrat?" (with a fierce tone) "Answer that!" Mr. Mahone (quickly) - "Sir (quickly), I was elected as a Readjuster. Do you know what the Readjusters are ?" Mr. Hill - "I understand there are in Vir Virginia - ginia Virginia 'Readjusting' Democrats and 'Debt- Fay log' Democrats, but I understand they are both Democrats. We have nothing to do here with that issue. The question of the Virginia debt is not to be settled In this chamber. I ask the Senator again, was he not elected to this national body as a mem member - ber member of the National Democratic party?" Mr. Hill continuing,remarked that he had done what the newspapers could not do, what both parties could not do, what the whole country could not do. He had brought out the Senator from Virginia, and in conclusion said: "But now in the kindest spirit, knowing the country from which the Senatorcomes, identified as I am with Its fame and its character, loving as I do every line In its history, rever revering - ing revering as I do Its long list of great names, I perform the friendly office, un unasked, - asked, unasked, of making a last appeal to the hon honorable - orable honorable Senator, whatever other fate may befall him, to be true to the trust which the people of Virginia gave him. Whoever else mav be disappointed, whoever else may be deceived, I appeal to the gentleman to be true to the people and to the sentiment of the party which have kindly commis commissioned - sioned commissioned him to a seat in this body." Mr. Mahone - "No! Are you answered now?" Mr. Hill - "Then 1 concede that the Sena Senator - tor Senator spoke the tmth when he said that I did not know what he is." (With a puzzled air) "What is he?" [Laughter.] has undt rstood that he voted with tbeiDemc tbeiDemccrats. - crats. tbeiDemccrats. Did he not support Hancock for the Presidency? And did he not in the Presi Presidential - dential Presidential election proclaim himself a Demo Democrat?" - crat?" Democrat?" Mr. Hill (to the Republicans), - "l com commend - mend commend him to you. Is there any man on that side of |the chamber who doubts that the honorable Senator was sent to this body as a Democra*? Is there a man In this vast audience who doubts it? Is there a man In Virginia who doubts It?" In reply to a question from Mr. Logan, who asked wbat right tbe Senator had to dictate to the gentleman from Virginia, Mr. Hill again arose and said; "I have not un undertaken - dertaken undertaken to do so. He can do as he pleases. But when he acts as a public man, 1 have a right to my opinion cf his public acts. There is not in my heart an unkind feeling towards him. I would If I could rescue him from the Infamy Into which others are trying to precipitate him. There is no man In this body whose whole soul goe3 out more in earnest to protect the Senator's honor than mine. I would rather lose tbe organization of the Senate and never have a Democratic committee here than have a Virginian soil his honor. [Applause.] I do not say that the Senator is going to do it, but I see the precipice yawnluv before him. I see whither potential influences are leading him. I know the dangers are just ahead. I would rescue him if I could. Men in this country have a right to divide on national issues, and on local Issues, hut no man bas a right to be false to his trust. Whether the Sena Senator - tor Senator from Virginia will be guilty of it or not, it Is not for me to judge. I will not judge. But I will eay, if he votes as you (the Republicans) want him to vote, God save him, for he is gone. "Gentlemen (addressing the Republicans), you In your hearts respond to every word I am uttering, when 1 say that you would despise treachery, and you honor me to day for making an effort to rescue the gentle gentleman, - man, gentleman, not from the treachery, but from the charge of it." Mr. Mahone (rising) - "l cannot allow the gentleman to make any such Insinuation." Mr. Hill - "I made no Insinuation." Mr. Mahone - "You do (emphatically), and an unmanly one." After further discussion, participated In by several Senators, Mr. Morgan's resolu resolution - tion resolution of condolence with the Russian Govern Government - ment Government was adopted, and the Senate soon after adjourned.

Washington, March 14. - Of the many men who want to be Marshal of Georgia, a number are by no means backward in the way of the filing of papers.

Fitz Fitzslmons, - slmons, Fitzslmons, and have filed papers with the De Department - partment Department of Justice containing any number of indorsements and recommendations: W. L. Clark, H. I.

Collector Andrew Clarke had best be look looking - ing looking around and examining tbe security of the fastenings which connect him with his office. He la in danger. He has a very strong element of the Republican party In Georgia against him. Already have the De Department - partment Department of Justice and President Garfield been told from a quarter where there lies some influence that It would be a very good thing If Andrew should be allowed to die - dieofficially. officially. dieofficially. There has been no charge made against his efficiency as an officer as far as can be learned. On the contrary, it is ad admitted - mitted admitted that he Is a very good Collector. What Is alleged against him is the character of the men with whom he has surrounded himself, and that he is a marplot. It is charged that there can be no co operation for the good of the public service among the Federal officers in Georgia until Clarke is removed. He is a disorg&nizer and a fomenter of strife and disagreements, it is said. The best feature of the fight that is being made on Clarke lies In the fact that none of those who want him out desire to have his place. President Garfield has received more ap applications - plications applications for office during his brief period of power than Hayes had during the whole of his first year. Thousands upon thousands of letters are received every day, each of which contains an application for some sort of an apppolntment. So great has been the deluge that an extra clerk was put on the other day to help in the work of abstracting and indorsing them. Every letter that is received is put in an envelope, on the back of which is written briefly its contents. These are kept for future reference; for Mr, Garfield, if he should call for them, or for the writer should he ask to withdraw his papers. Not one thou thousandth - sandth thousandth part of its whole mass of stuff ever reaches the Executive. After being briefed they are laid away in their quiet graves, where they sleep the sleep that knows no waking. Senator Brown was at the White House again to day. He is quite a frequent visitor and will soon have to be put down as one of the "dailies." He holds lengthy con conversations - versations conversations with the President, and they seem to get along admirably together. While there is the feeling of friendship bo botween - tween botween the two, they are more than mere social events, these calls of Senator Brown upon General Garfield. You may look for results when the Federal distribution in Georgia goes around. There will be some Brown influence seen there, as there will also be some Stephens influence attached to tbe appointments. The proceedings In the Senate to day were of a highly sensational character, and were marked by an set on the part of a Senator from the South that will long be remem remembered. - bered. remembered. Mahone, of Virginia, betrayed the trust confided to him by the people of his State, and soKlhis vote to the Republicans for a mess of Federal patronage. Tbe very least that can be said of this act of the Virginia Senator is that he was actuated by a desire to revenge himself upon some of bis oppo opponents - nents opponents In his own Btate, who bitterly opposed his designs from the start, and also upon some Democratic Senators from other States, who have had the courage to de denounce - nounce denounce his coarse In public. The speech of Senator Hill in the Senate to day, daring which he handled Mahone without gloves, will long be remembered by all who were fortunate enough to hear it, and especially by Mr. Mabone him himself. - self. himself. Tbe defense of the latter was weak in the extreme, and excited even tbe pity of bis new-found friends. Though Mahone's intended treach treachery - ery treachery to the Democratic party has been talked of here for some time, his action in the Senate to-day really excited some surprise, as there were few who gave him credit for so much political baseness. Virginians in the city claim that he has sealed his fate, and that for the future he can never be anything to his State, and that at the conclusion of his term of service In the Senate be will be forced to retire into utter political seclusion. Of course, Mahone's friends applaud him, and claim that his act will bring him greater strength and secure the supremacy of his party in Virginia. SENATE PROCEEDINGS. In the Senate, Mr. Allison presented the credentials of J. W. McDill as a Senator from the State of lowa, and Mr. Sawyer those of Angus Came Cameron - ron Cameron as a Senator from the State of Wiscon Wisconsin - sin Wisconsin . The credentials having been read tbe gentlemen appeared and took the oath of office. Mr. Pendleton called up the resolution previously offered by him relative to the reorganization of the Senate committees.

GLADSTONE CORNERED. The Conservatives Refuse to Grant "Urgency" on the Supply-Sir Staff ord Northcote to the Country - The 'Time*'' on the Situation. London, Match 14. - Sir Stafford North Northcote, - cote, Northcote, in his letter to his constituents ex explaining - plaining explaining the course he had advised the Con Conservatives - servatives Conservatives to take In regard to urgency for the committee of supply, says: "The ques question - tion question is of vital Importance, not In a party sense, bat as touching the very essence and marrow of the Parliamentary system." He urges that the government has plenty of time for voting the supplies without urgen urgency. - cy. urgency. and protests against the demand for the supplies with the pistol presented at the head of the Opposition. Mr. Charles Bradltugh offered his resig resignation - nation resignation to the government, so that they, by accepting it, can deprive the Conservatives of any opportunity for obstructing business in the House of Commons by a long debate on Mr. Gorst's motion for an election of a successor to Bradlsugh. The Times says Sir Stafford Northcote's address to his constituents is a political event for which It will be difficult to find a precedent, and is a step of which the con consequence - sequence consequence may prove extremely grave. It is taken on behalf of the whole i body of the Conservative opposi opposition, - tion, opposition, after deliberate reflection and discussion. The Conservatives will not support Mr. Gladstone's proposal for urgen urgency. - cy. urgency. It will, therefore, be defeated should it be pressed. The form of Sir Stafford Northcote's protest Is In Itself an Illustra Illustration - tion Illustration of the embarrassing and abnormal condition now prevailing. He is compelled to address the electors of North Devon, because when Mr. Gladstone's reso resolution - lution resolution is put to the House no debate will be permitted. Mr. Gladstone himself will not to have an opportunity of answering Sir Stafford Northcote. If Sir Stafford Northcote's statement be correct hts refusal to support urgency Is abundant abundantly - ly abundantly justified. If public business should not be found capable of dispatch in the manner he suggests he will have to share the blame with the government. Mr. Gladstone must acquiesce in the rejection of his resolution. It would be ridiculous to think of evading a ministerial crisis out of the Conservatives' refusal to grant ur urgency - gency urgency wherever demanded. If the Opposi Opposition - tion Opposition were to stand doggedly in the way of legitimate business there might be some pretext for an appeal to constituencies, even by a minister with a Urge majority behind him. The Conserva Conservatives - tives Conservatives have Bhown so much consideration and public spirit during the present session that their denunciation on the ground of having declined to vote urgency In the supply would hardly find favor. Moreover, Sir Stafford Northcote's alternative suggestions are at least plausible, and until they have been tried and visibly failed, the case for urgency cannot be regarded as established. The issue of the Coventry election will not en encourage - courage encourage the government to pick a quarrel with the Opposition on the ground of the proposed urgency vote. The contest is evidence, to a certain extent, of an ebb in the tide which ran so overwhelmingly high at the last, election. The differences of the government, though not all of their own creation, are producing the usual effect upon the minds of the masses. It is a time for circumspection in policy. Ministers must be heedful not to affront the popular feel feeling, - ing, feeling, and to abstain from challenging unne unnecessary - cessary unnecessary conflicts upon doubtful grounds."
