AS EXTRAORDINARY DEBATE THE SEM ATE. IS Washington, March 3. Pending the consideration of the Arrears of Pensions Appropriation bill in tbe Senate, before daylight this mornin?, there occurred one of tbe mo3t exci ting and interesting debates which has been heard daring tbe session. For hours tbe Senators, many of them old and not robust men, had been seated ia tho close and overheated chamber. They were worn out, both mentally and physically, and it seem ed as if tbe session would drag its slow length along without interest or excitement until tho sunlight came. Suddenly, however, when the mem bers were most exhausted, and the galleries moBt bored by the pro?y and humdrum speeches of compara tively obscare Senators, who, on or dinary occasions, speak to empty benches, Mr. Hoar took the floor. His calm, self-possesse l, alnioet im penetrable face was paler than usual. tie bad been at a dinner party, was in full dress, and, a? he arose, his snow white bair and beard contrast ing strongly witb his keen gray eye and bovifeb, ntfurrowed face, he pre sented a striking appearance. Sena tor Hoar is not a popular man among his associates, far from it ; but he never speaks unless be Las something to say, and, consequently, he is al ways listened to with attention. 1 bis j morning it was evident from bis man ner that be was about to advance some proposition cf more than ordi nary importance, and when be mov ed to exclude Jefferson Davis, the late President of tbe so called South-1 ern Confederacy, from any benefits j which might be bestowed unon vet-i erana of the Mexican war under the Shields amendment to tbe biil under discussion, it Wa at once apparent to those who knew the temper of the Senate tbat a great political debate was about to begin. or was this a miaUfce, With a voice which was most im pressive because of i:a forced calm ness, the Senator declared thst the name which was inserted ir Lis amendment had net Leea singled out by any wish of bU, or by the wHb of. any person who agreed with Lirn pi- litically. I-r that singling out Jef ferson Davis wa himself responsible. By bis own act3 Lo waa conspicuous. Dy hia attack opoa the life of the na. lion which bad educated and honor ed him be was singled cut ; and be cause of the facts that be had never given ut'eraace to one word of regret for the pi3t. or one word of cheerful acquieeeoce in tbe present. He was conspicuous because to-day, as ever, be spurned the ciemencv of tne (iov- eminent which be could not over throw. It w&3 for these reasons. MUdar said that he wouli never consent to tax the loyal widows and orphans of the land that tbe name of Jefferson Davis rcibt be placed up on the pension roll the roll cf hon or of tbe United States These words bad an almost mag ical effect opon tbe Sena'.e. Mem bers wbo a few moments before were half asleep ia tbe cloak-room or lunching in the restaurant, cime crowding into the chamber,' wide awake and expectant. Tas weary wat:hers ia tbe galleries we; weary no longer, and from ail side there was a bu4 of keen anticipation. Even this was hushed, however, when Mr. Garland, of Arkansas 3 gaont, uncouth, and anguiar took the floor tq defend his former chief. He did bo macfcllv, and with all tbe intensity of bis Southern, backwoods nature. But he was no match for the trained and scholarly Massachu setts lawyer, and when he sat down there was a general feeling tbat he had not helped the man who led the lost cause." No other Southerner wemed ready to second the effVt of Mr. Garland, and for a moment there was a slight halt ii the proceedings. It was only for a moment.however. Findiog that there was nothing ta be expected from bis "ex-Confederae friends," Senator Thurman took the floor, and for 23 minutes made a most transpar ent bid for tba support of tbe South in the next Presidential camniiga. Witb carefully picked words be cov ered Jeff Davis all over with white wash, and did everything possible to soothe the wounded feelings of tbe men from the cotton States. At tbe same time te was most careful to say nothing which could be coastrced ia to aa indorsement of disloyalty. Jef ferson Davis, be said, had not sought aa office, aad consequently had nev er bad his disabilities removed : hence, ia tbe eyes of the Senator from Massachusetts, Mr. Hoar, be was not worthy to be on tbe pension roll of the country, while Loogstreet waa honored witb a Post OSiee, Key with a place ia the Cabinet, Orr with ibe mission to Russia, and Mosby, who had boasted that he was the Marion ia tbe second war, witb pla cesof high trust and profit To this Mr. Hoar replied with good effect, that all tbe gentlemen referred to, and others of tbe same class, had acquiesced la tbe rcsoits of tbe war, and haviog done so, be'aad ail the men of bis party were gladly willing to welcome tbm back to the enjoy ment of every benefit which the com munity could bestow. This taant was evideatlr mere thaa Senator Lamar cooll War. Witb one hand flinging back his long black bair from bis high forehead, and with tbe other nervously clutch ing bis chair, be hoarsely cried out, "1 regret and am surprised that the Senator from Massachusetts should wantonly, and without provocation fling this iosalt' the sentence was never finished. Before Mr. Lamar could otter another word the gavel fell sharply, and tbe cool, monoto nous voice of tbe Chairman Senator Edmonds called him to order. "I am ia order," hotly replied toe Sen ator from Mississippi, "though I sup pose it is in order here to throw in sults broadcast, while these who are insulted are oat of order when they fling them back again. I appeal from the ruling of tbe Chair. The qaestion was at once pat As usual when they are wanted, a number of Republican Senators were absent, and the Chair was overruled. Sen ator Lamar then spoke at great 1 1 pi WHOLE NO. 1444. length and with niach eloquence ia behalf of Davis. He likened him to Washington and Hampton, called him tbeir compeer, declared that they fought for the saae cause, and to gether tbeir names wouid go down to posterity. In conclusion, be ap- pearea to tninx ne was making a great point by declaring that since the war Jefferson Davis had never counseled insurrection. During all the debate Senator C!a:ne bad quietly kept bin Beat, a silent and close listener to everything that was said. He saw his opportu nity bad come, however, and witb bis usual vigor and dash he embraced it. Facing the Southern Senators, and speaking directly to them, he told tbem more plain truths than they baa beard for many a day before. Referring to a remark made by Mr. Tburmao, be said tbat the Democrats and not the Repoblicans were re sponsible for bringing tbe mangled remains of Jeffersoa Davis iato the United States Senate, and so before the country. Tbe Republicans want ed none of him , ret the Democrats were continually dangling him be fore their eyes. Continuing, he said : . "And now, forsooth, we are to pension bim, and why? According to the honors' le Senator from Mis sissippi, becaaso Le bas never, since the war, counseled insurrection. I took the words down bioce the close of tbe war be had never counseled in surrection. Should we not be thank ful? Why should we not pension the tuan who haa showa such loyalty that te has never counseled insurrec tion 1 I was amused at the words of the Senator, who, when pleading his friend's cause at the bar of the American Senate, gives as & reason that be has never sinca tbe war coua-eled iasurrectioa. This is the roao brought in here aad compared to Washington and Hamden, Gghting ia the same caa-o and ectit'ed to the same niche ia history ; inspired by the ama patriotic motives, and to be admired ia tbe same manner. I appeal to all sensible men, and confi dent of what their nnswer will be, ak if this is not just a little amusing. I turn to tbe Senator, and, in all se ;iou3'je?, assure him that the man j who led the attack on the American Union w ill, in the future, as be does to-d3y, fall bo fi,r iliort of occupying the sare niche with Washington that no sane man will ever mention tbeir uaracs in the ean. breath." From this point tbe debate was of a somewhat rambling and incoherent character, and there was some dispo sition on tho Republican side to mince matters. Noticing this, W. E. Chandler, wbo ha i been Lo the press gallery all night, keenly watching the proceedings, seat word to Sena tor Zich Chandler, who was dozing in his seat, tbat there was not one Republican ia the Seaate who dared call Jeff. Davis what be was a traitor. Tbe old man was awake in an instant, and lUuniag with open ears to the load praise bestowed oa Davis aad the Confederacy which was coming from tne Southern side. He at last obtained the floor, and by tbe delivery ot the following speech created the most intense excitement : M&v President: Twenty years ago, I, ia eompaay with Jefferson Davis stood up in this chamber, and witb him, swore by Almighty God tbat I would support the Constitution of the United States. Mr. Jeffersoa Davis came direct from tbe Cabinet of Franklin Pierce into tbe Senate of the United States and took the oatb with me, to be faithful to the Gov ernment Daring four years I sat in this body with Jefferson Davis and saw tbe preparations going on from day te day for tbe overthrow of this Government With treason in bis heart and perjury open his lipa, be took the oath to iu-tain the Govern ment tfc&t he meant to overthrow. Sir, there w a3 method in this mad neoi He, ia co-operation with other men from hia section, aad in the cab inet of Mr. Buchanan, made careful preparation for the tvent that was to ioliow. Your fleets were scattered wberever the wiuds blew and water wa3 found to float them, where tbey could not be ssed to put down a rebellion. Your armies were scatter ed all over this broad land, where they eould not be nsed in an emer. geiicy. Your Treasury w as depleted until your bonds, bearing 6 per cent, interest, principal and interest pay able in coin, were s.!d for S3 cents on the djllar, to pay current expen ses, and no buyers. Preparations were cartfally made. Your arms were sold nader aa apparently inno cent clause ia an Army bill providing that the Secretary of War might, ia bis discretion, d feuch arms as be deemed best for the interests ct the Government to stlL Sir, IS years ago last month, I sat in this hail and listened to Jefferson Davis delivering his farewell address informing os what our Constiii tional duties to this Government were and then be left and entered into a rebellion to overthrow the Govern ment tbat he bad sworn to support 1 remained here, Sir, daring the w hole cf that terrible rebellion. I saw our brave soldiers, by thousands, I might almost say by mClions, as they passed through here to the thea tre of war. I saw their shattered rack3 returning, I saw steamboat after steamboat, and railroad train after railroad train bringing back the woonded. I was with my friend from Rhode Island Mr. Iiarnside when he commanded the Army of the Potomac, and saw piles of legs and arms that made humanity shudder. I saw the widows and ibe orphans made by this wa, and heard them wail and mourn ever the death cf their dearest and best Mr. President, I little thought at tbat time tbat I should live to hear in the Senate of the United Spates eulogies opon Jefferson Davis, liviog a living rebel on the floor of tbe Senate of the United States. Sir, I am am zed to hear it, and I ean tell the gentlemen on tbe other side tbat they little know tbe spirit of tbe North when they come here at this day with bravado on tbeir lips, uttering eulogies opon him whom every man woman and child in the North be lieves to have been a double dyed traitor. The wildest excitement followed this address, aad it was several min utes before order could be restored. At last, however, one or two Demo crats attempted to reply, iney i made feeble effort, however, and tbe debate soon (ended. It was now (nearly daylight, and a vote was ta ken.' The amendment waa carried, ; and finally tbe bill panaed in iu orig tinal form. I The exciting character of the dia- ! cession may be imagined when it is slated tbat nearly every beoetor remained in bis seat throughout its duration, while very few of the spec tators in the galleries at tbe time ef its commencement left until Its con clusion. It was unquestionably one of tbe meet animated and vehement political debates which has ever oc curred la the Senate. A slight per sonal difficulty which occurred be tween Senators Blaine and Thurman during its progress, and which was caused by Mr. Thurman's order te Mr. Blaine to sit down, has been amicably settles by proper apolo gies. or washi-iwtox uma ( from our Regular Correspoodsnt.) Washington, March 4, 1379. Tbe back pay pension bill which waa heralded over the country as a Democratic measure is merely taffy' to the veteran soldiers. It originated with Representative II. J. B. Cam mings, a staanch Republican and the soldier's friend. The Democrats at heart have no sympathy for the meas ure and it would not surprise me much if the Democrats let it go by default Tbey say it will bankrupt the Government now. Bosh ! Sap pose it does take a few millions oat of the Treasury for the union soldiers. Better give tbe money to tbe crippled soldiers of the North wbo saved the country from destruction than to al low the rebels to steal tbe money by millions on Southern war claims. If the bill goes through this session at all it will be entirely due to the skill ful management of the Republicans in the House. In the Senate the Democrats tack ed oa an amendment pessioniog all tbe Mexican war soldiers which would include Jeff. Davis. This the Republicans will resist. To-day it is generally conceded that there will be an extra session of Con gress aa it U impossible to get through with tbe necessary appropri ation bills by Tuesday he day of adjournment Representative Foster said to-day tbat tbe President would call the session early cot later than May. foe Democrats in the House are in a mirage and are beginning to re alise tbe fact that they will possibly ioose the organization ot tbe hoase in the next Congress, since the 17 green backers of the next House arrived here and determined to act Indepen dent in that body. Without a ma jority of those 17 votes tbey cannot elect a speaker. General Koontx was on the floor of the House to-day lis tening to the wrangling. He waa greeted heartily by his old corarsdes. Amongst the first to notice him was Generals Banks and Butler. The ball given by the Mexican minister on Monday night was a brilliant affair and tbe whole of Washiogtons society attended. The street in front of the large mansion was a perfect blaze of light from over 2000 burners arranged artistically to read "Mexico," "Welcome," &j.. This was no temperance affair, as the wine and champagne flowed freely from the silver goblets sent from Mexico for this occasion. On Wednesday there was a grand entertainment at the White Hoese. Tbe scene surpassed anything ever witnessed within the time honored walls of the houne of the President. All the rooms on both floors were thrown open to the invited guests and their numbers were legion as this was the last reception of the season. The decorations exceeded ia beauty anything hitherto attempted at the Executive Mansion. The Marine band played beautiful selections throughout tbe reception. Tbe Presinent and Mrs. Hayes, Colonel Casey and Mr. Webb Hayes stood together in front of tbe central window in the East Room while tbe guests marched by, each one taking the President and Mrs. Hayes by the band. The President and his wife always seem to enjoy society and looked beaming on this occasion. Sbe wore a rich white cream tinted silk trim med with a shawl shaped overdress of gaoze embroidered in pearls. My wife says that the styles for spriog will not differ much from those of winter in some respects. Bonnets will be worn small, grey and white straw, trimmed with plaid ribbon and wreathes of flowers. Dresses for the street are short, made of plain eolcrs, black brown, navy blue and dark stone color. The new calicoes for spring are very pretty ; they hare solid ground of pearl color with large bunches of roses, and pale blae ground with cardinal pinks, and white ground witb bright red ragged sailors. These new fabrics in eottoa are called aUeepe, and are made in styles the ame as silks and camels hair. rica.iT. A MveMBliral Slwrw. Coleridge relates a story to this ef fect: Alexander, daring his march iato Africa, came to a people dwelling la peaceful huts, who knew neither war nor conquest Gold being offer ed him he refused it, saying tbat his sole object waa to learn the manners and customs of the inhabitants. "Stay with us," said tbe ehief, "as long as it pleaseth thee.'' During this interview with tbe African chief two ot his subjects brought a case before bim for Judg ment The dispute was this : The one had bougtt a piece of groond, which, after tbe purchase, was found to contain a treasure tor which he felt himself bound to pay. The other refused to receive anything, stating that he had sold the ground wits what it might be foond to contain, apparent or concealed. Said the chief, looking at the one, "Yoo have a snn;" and to tho other, "Yoo have a daughter ; let them be married and the treasure give them as a dowry." Alexander was astonished. "Aad what," said tbe chief, "would have been the decision in your country ?" "We should have dismissed the par ties and seized the treasure for the king's nse." "And does the sen shine in year country?" said the chief; "does tbe rain fall there t Are there any cattle there which leed opoa herbs and green grass ?" 'Certainly.' aid Alexander. 'Ah,' said the chief, it Is for the sske of those ianoeest cattle that the Great Beiag permits the sun to shine, the rain to fail and the grass to grow in your country.' A roan horse driven by a lady was observed tc be running away the eth er day, whereupon Spilkioa remarked that It was the only isstaaes he bad ever known of a woman beiag una ble to hold her roan.
