When be was presented at the desk of the Speaker to take the oath, Mr..RAN DALL welcomed him and said : " I am glad to know you, hailing as you do from a Democratic State. I hope. you have come•up here to give us some backbone." 4 ‘.lt strikes, me," replied Mr. ITesoN, "that whet we' need here is not baCkbone butbrains," --the cleverest thing that has • been said, in Washington for some time, beyond a doubt. The Democracy has never lacked, backbone on any occasion when ,pigheaded wrong doing was the order of the day. On questions 'involving patriotism and decent morals , it •never had anyback 'l one, 'even in its best days. But '1 here was a time when, it did not lack brains. When JACKSON led the col umn, supported by such raen as MAR , Cv, NV RICHT, ,GABS.. BENTON, TAN PUREN, and others• riot less distin t;aished,- the party had plenty of backbone and brains. - But when,such lnen as FOLK,_ PIERCE, BUCHANAN,. .1 tri'DAvis, and others quite as me ttiocre, had crowded out the old lead. I rs, the brains of the party an out. J'retty mach everything it 'has done t.ince has shown such consummate J'olly 'that only want of brain's can recount for. The popular branch of Congress has been Democratic for 14ur years y if in all thati!time it has slime a' -really sensible thing, Bonk body ought to be able to name it.' is doings are matter of record, and fresh in memory. What .has the •Rouse done to relieve the country ? - What has it done to incite, much punch more to restore, confidence ? As regards-finanee f it has had no set tled policy ; it has adopted every .wild speculation, and out of the_odds and ends of vagaries it has patched up a policy inconsistent, incongruous and absurd. But it has done nothing to com mend itself - tos . sensible men. The spectacle . it has presented has not risen to the level of a good amateur - Performance. Its statesmen are such wen as 1;'.% N DA ItL, WOOD, Cox, Srat No fat and . tlLorm. Each has' tried, and each has failed, to excite any higher interest than contempt.= • They . pre faced their advance to power witiff protestations of loyalty second to none. - They *ere the best friends of the soldier, but so soon as they were in position,to prove their words, they sent every maimed Union soldier to : the right-about and:snbstituted - a set of carpet knights and Confederate bummers. They claimed to be the best friends Of the colored race, and _set - about justifying their claim by - - striking hands with- the notorious ' oppressors of that race. They set up a loud cry for reform, and ended :by putting - a band of robbers in all the fat places. They preached econom • • and practiced , the most uncalled-for and lavish i'iffe of public money for _Personal and party ends: All of their investigations ended in smoke, when they did not end in exposing Demo cratic thieves. ' So, .from the begin- . ning,they bragged, and swaggered, and played the- fool from the top. of their bent, doing nothing' they prom ised, and omitting to do themselves nothing - they had charged upon, the. Republicans. ; . . . - .. • But pilobably 'their - ,utter . - lack-Of brains ha not been shown in broader light than in their attempt to coerce lie ,Pycsi lent:, Bad they:been thou' 'if comma ' -sagacity even, tliey.Woidil- Jaye.

They now-now that the extra session was a L it Jigged. for Mr. lIAYES, I . ) lAt dei- tined to form the grave of a Demo cystic Congress. They digged the pit for that other and fell into it he,adlong themselves. The President' was too sturdy a man to be caught in the toils of a , parcel of foolk Hence these Democrats are now looking for a soft spot on- which to fall. They climbed ton high, for the equilibrium of -thi little -supply - brains ,they have. They Must now shin down as best they can. Even Mr. Tunotem, the brains of -the par -ty in the Senate, is compelled to ad mit that the policy of coercion was , not judicious. He himself led the way into the disgraceful scrape, and he does not seem to know enough to extricate his dupes. No wonder that even a backwoodsman from- Texas should see the wrong and suggest the remedy. If Mr. Urson can supply the leaders of his party with a small quantity of sound brains, he will earn the gratitude of the unhappy victims of folly. But if he is to it, the sooner it is done the better. A few days' 'residence in 'Washington, and con tact with such -men as RANDALL and SrsiNuza will probably demoralize him, fresh from the woods as he' is. InrranY repeats itself—and the old and slavery spirit which now exists In Congress, is repeating the dictatorial and brutal occurrences which in the days of slavery domina tion were so frequent in that body. The recent scene-in the United States Senate, when LAMAR so grossly and unjustifiably insulted Comm, will recall the days of REFIT and Bnooss, and though no' personal violence was attempted, nothing but the coeilnesa and courage of the New York Sena tor prevented a collision. The attack by Seaator Lulu' was not justified by anything said in the Course of • the debate, which was a ' heated controversy, and the insult put upon Senator CONKLIN was de liberate and premeditated. It was the breaking out of the same bully ing and domineering disposition which has on previous occasions, made the - Senate chamber the arena for personal 'violence—the manifesta tion of that dictatorial and intoler ant manber which will' not brook opposition, and which answers argu ment with bludgeons. The precon ceived attempt to force CONXI.IN into personal Collision or to extort from him a challenge - was worthy •of the days when "plantation Manners" pre dominated, and was wisely and bold ly met by the Senator from New York. The time has , gone by, when the country will tolerate the display of brutal and insulting conduct in the united States Senate, and ,has come when the courage and firmness which Meets such swaggering with promptness and decision will he ap plauded. The "Press" speaks out manfully and puts some pertinent questions in commenting upon this occurrence. It says "the aggression was, -thus, clearly from Senator LAMAR. Was it purposed ?. Senator CONKLIN . 110 borne himself offensively to the Con federate senators by caustic criticism of their course. Was a quarrel sought with him ? Was there a pur pose, on occasion, to fix an epithet upon him which he must wear' or fight ? These are pertinent questions, and appear to require an affirmative answer. If the old tactics of the slave-drivers are to be resumed; if free debate is to be stifled in the Senate [louse; if the brutality of re fined bullyism is to be re-employed in the work of legislation; if, as in 1859-'6O, it is to become again acces saiT for Northern Congressmen to bear arms on their persons and keep them in their desks, as the final pro tectors of the right of discussion; if, in a word, Confederate restoration to control in Congress is to be the restoration of an essential ruffianism, which destroys freedom of legisla tion in its appointed home, it is well that the country knows whither it is tending." Tut taking of the census next year will be a heavy job, though by the plan adopted, not much time Will be occupied, as the number of per sons employed will be large. The following information may he of value to some of our readers who are desirous of engaging in theLwork. The Secretau of the Interier, on or before the.first of March, nit, will appoint one •or more superisors of census for each State, the whole number ;in the States and Territories not CO — exceed .130. These supervis ors will appoint the enumerators for the various counties of each State, any exceeding 1,000 in population to be-divided into districts so that no . clis i trict shall contain more than 4,000 inliabitants. These enumerators will begin their duties on the first Mon day in June, 180, and finish before the first of July, 1880, and the cora- Tenstition wilt be two Onto fOr each inhabitant; two cents for each death reported; ten cents for each farm, and 15 cents for eachcestablishment of productive industry. Application for appointment as enumerators must be addressed to the supervisors of their State when appointed.. Rtbzwmithere has been an inquiry for the bonds of the "Confederate gtates"—which still have a value, though it is a nominal one. What has Caused this activity in their money and its enhancement in value ? Prob ably so m e of .our democratic friends can tell-us. • We should attribute it to the] liveliness and prominence of Confederate men and measures in Congress which gives Ilse to the hope that ultimately both will predomi nate,;and then Confederate bonds and money will be at par.

The Democratic Senators and Representatives are di vided in opinion as to what course should be taken. ' A majority of the Senate caucus decided that there should be no adjournment until the nee ssary appropriations have been made. A . few.extremists favored im meOte adjournment.

The Senator me this by tendering his resignation a chairman of the com mittee, and by such other violent demonstrations of independence and rebellion against dictation that the Democracy, having already. its hands full of coercing the President, con cluded to put off the attempt upon the Senator until nest session. In this case, King Caucus failed to rule, owing to the manliness and . inde pendence of a Senator, who had the courage to revolt at the indignity and wrong decreed.. . Tni tragic death of Prince NAPO- Lzori, the only son of the late Eau peror NAPOLEON; is an event of sufficient interest to claim the atten tion and excite the sympathy of all classes and all nations. He was said to be a young man of great promise; whose hopes were fixed upon re es+blishing in France the Bonaparte dynasty, and it was in his interest that all the Bonapartist conspiracies were fomented by his- ,adherents. Proffering his services to the English government in the Zulu campaign, his first military service, was a recon noitering er pedition with a few men, the party being surprised, while bathing, by the Zulus, and the Prince speared to death. His death may put an end to the scheming of those who sought to re-establish the Em pire, but its political effect will other wise be' ery slight.

There are no funds on band to meet any other expenses which should be incurred.

The rani Between thy 11eeibrr Flew Tork and itookoolippL The following 16' an account of the extraordinary quarrel between MeSSIEL CONKLIN and LAmAa: Mr. Conklin haiing charged the other side with bad faith in not allowing the time taken up by the Mississippi River Cominission bill this morning to be allow ed in'the debate on the Army bill. Mr. Lamar [Miss.] rose at the conclu sion of Mr. Conklin's remarks and said that as fur as any intimation of bad faith . to him was concerned, he • bad lived in vain if be was not superior to such ohatge from such a source. It is not my purpose, be 'said, to indulge in personali ties, but I will say tg the Senator that if be intended to intimate that anything I hive done w - as • not in good faith I pro nounce his statement a falsehood, which I repel with all the unmitigated contempt that I feel for the author of it. Mr. Conklin, who had .been walking slowly back and forth behind the beaches; advanced to his seat and said : Mr. President, I was diverted during the commencement of the remarks the culininatioit of which I heard* from the member from Mississippi. If , I" under stood the member aright, ho intended to impute, and did in plain and unparliamen tary language impute, to mean intention al false statement. (Pausing.) The Senator does tint disclaim that. Mr. Lantar—l will state what I intend ed, sir, so that there can be no mistake. The presiding officer (Mr. Cockrell) called Mr., Lamar. to order, and Mr. Conklin proceeded : Whether I am willing to respond to the member from Mississippi depends entirely upon 'what that member intends to say, and what he did say, and for the time being Ido not choose to hold any , communication' with I understood the Senator to state iri plain unparliamentary language that the statement of mine to which he refers was a falsehood. If I .caught his words aright I h,ave only -to say, this not being the place to measure with any man the Capacity to violate decency, to violate the rules of the Senate, or to commit any of the improprieties of life-4 have only to say that if the Senator—the member— from Mississippi did impute ,or intended to impute to me a falsehood, nothing ex cept the fact that this is the Senate would , prevent my denouncing him as a black guard' and a cowgd. (Applause and hisses.) Let me be more speete, Mr. President. Should the member from Mississippi, ex cept in the presence of the Senate, charge me, by intimation or otherwise, with falsehood, I would denounce him as a blackguard, as a coward and a Hai. The rules and proprieties of the Senate are the only restraint upon me. I do not think I need say anything else, Mr. Prod dent. (Applause and hisses). The Chair demanded quiet in the gal leries. Mr. Lamar—l have only . to say that the Senator from New York understood me correctly,. I did mean to say just precise ly the words and all that they imported. I beg thepardon of the Senate for the ma parliamentary huguage. It was very harsh—it was severe; it was such as no good matt ?deserved and no biave man woald wear. (Renewed demonstrations of approval and disapproval.) The Chair—The galleries will be , clear ed upon repetition of the applause. Mr. Cockrell was in the chair, and did notap pear to know what to do. The tones of both Senators were in the highest degree offensive, and each was applauded by friends in the galleries. When Mr. Lamar sat down, the Clerk proceeded 'to call the roll on at. unimport ant motion. The Senators, however, paid no attention to - the dull proceedings, and gathered in knots about the chamber dis cussiug the extraordinary scene between Messrs. Conklin and Lamar. Gradually the excitement died down, and the debate "proceeded quietly, with Senators Conklin and Lamar in their seats.
