It Is said Bradlaugh Ijos tendered his

Government may not bo embarrassed by a
long debate on Uorst’s motion for a new writ

tion his right to a sent.

A mass-meeting of Socialists, numbering
about 8, 000, was held at tho West Twelfth
Street Turner Hall last evening, and was ad
dressed by Dr. Schmidt, tho. Socialist candi
date for Mayor of Chicago two years ago, and
by Herr F. W. Frilsche, a member of the
Gorman Keichslng, who Is on u visit to tills
country. Hr. Schmidt, referring to tho
Czar’s assnslnatlon, said Ills dentil was richly
deserved,—a somimont which was loudly
applauded. Herr Frltsche was more guarded
in Ids expressions, for the reason that lie
could be held responsible for Ids utterance
•in this country on Ids roturh to Germany.
Sknator Maiioni; solved yesterday what
tho newspaper-men and tho politicians of the
whole country have been trying to solve lor
several months. Ueplying to a truculent and
olfensivo speech by Senator Ben Hill, who,
since Blaine loft tho Senate, seems to take u
leading part on tho Democratic side, Senator
Malionu proclaimed Ids independence Jithe
Democratic party, and ills Intention to vote
with tho Bepubllcnns. Ho denounced the
methods of tho Democracy In Southern elec
tions, their bulldozing tactics, their fraudu
lent tissnn-bnilots, and declared he could nut
act witli such a party. This action decides
that tho organization of tho Senate will be In
tho Interest of the Uepublicuns.
Even though Hr. Blaine Is not in tho Sen
ate, Mr. Ben Hid, of Georgia, cannot with
impunity ludulgu In that bulldozing stylo
which ho Is so fond of. He attempt
ed to browbeat and bully Senator Ma
hone yesterday, and in ids most swag
gering. style, whereupon Senator Hour
told Idm that no ex-slaveowner could crack
his whip over on American Senator, and re
minded Hid, who appeared to bo very Jeal
ous of tho rigljts of Ids constituents yester
day, that hr to carry Georgia Into
rebellion, contrary to Ids pledges to ids con
stituents; and much more tu the same effect.
Thu general impression was that Mr. Hid
gat much the worst of tho encounter.
Tub Tories are the defenders of the liber
ties of tho Urillsh House of Commons. Tho
announcement seems strange, but it is true,
nevertheless. Sir Stafford Northcoto issued
an address to his constituents yesterdaydu
which lie sets forth tho reasons why ho and
Ids party intended to oppose urgency on
Supply, lio says, what everybody knows to
bo true, that the llouso llrst gained Its iuliu
enco and power on that very point,—that
tuunnrehs or ministers should not obtain
appropriations except by a deliberate veto
of tho House,—and ho holds that any
attempt to curtail that authority and delib
eration would ho to establish a dangerous
precedent. Sir Stalford says that tho utmost
freedom of debate should bo permitted on all
Items of supply. Tho Whigs must feel them
selves in a sorry position tvs assailants of tho
liberties of the popular brunch ot tho Legis
lature,—of tho very liberties they claim to
havo established.

Washington*, I). C. t March H.-Senator
Mahone, of Virginia, has cast his first vote
and made his first speech In tho Senate. He
lias dismayed the Dourbon party by Ids
audacity, and has silenced their most trucu
lent leader by his manly courage. This
morning no one could safely say what posi
tion the mysterious little General from the
Old Dominion would occupy. To-night tho
most confident Democrat will admit that ha
has burned all tho bridges behind Idm, and
bus become the determined and dangerous
foe of Dourbonlsm. Theclrcumstaiiceswhleh
led to tbo climax of the day’s debate were
peculiar. The passage betweeußea Hill and
Muhone will become historical In American
Congressional nnuais. Never sinco tbo War
has
THE 01.0 SLAVK-DIHVEIt
dared to crack Ills widpjQdtjt such ferocity
ns did Ben Hill to-day over the head of whut
he, perhaps, thought was the timorous new
Senator from Virginia. Never have the vio
lent threats of tne swaggering bulldozer be
fore been so answered with arguments which
paralyzed retort. Ben Hill is a representative
of the old Southern system, which seemed
always to connect the idea of energy with
violence. Ho appeared to think that tho
readiest way to prevent-Muhono from becom
ing an ally of the Bepubiieuus was to de
nounce him as a traitor.
THE -DOUGHTY I.ITTI.K VIRGINIA GENERAL,
whoso courage lias been tried upon many
Helds, and whose body bears tho scars of
many wounds, was not tho man to cower be
fore Insolent swagger, and lie demonstrated
to tho Senate and the country that the most
formidable opponent that Bourbuuism tins
yet found Is In tho person of the man who
has disintegrated politics In tho Old Do
minion, and who to-day, through indecent
treatment, pronounced upon tho Dem
ocratic party Ids anathema mnrnnatha.
The. proceedings of tho Senate were
opened by Die suave and unctious
Pendleton, tho mouthpiece of ttie Democrat-
1c caucus, who urged that the resolution pro
viding for the organization of Uic Senate bo
passed. They were closed by
TUB I’ROFOUNDEST SENSATION OF THE
WINTER,
when the clear, piping voice of Mnhone,
ringing through the Chamber, had notilied
Bon Hill that Ids " swaggering Insolence”
must cease. The.pcmocrats have believed
that they would bo ..'do to organize tho Sen
ate. They thought so this morning. They
know that they cannot do it now.
Kvery step in tho day’s proceedings
was a "feeler.” They were groping in
tho dark. Two of the Bepublican vacancies
were Idled tids morning by tho induction
Into oflico of McDill, of lowa, and Cameron,
of Wisconsin. The two remaining vacancies,
it was announced, would bo Idled, at the
latest, on Thursday.
THE VOTE OF MAIIONE
alone was in doubt There seemed to bo a
deliberate purpose on the part of the Demo*
cruls to compel Mahone to dcllne ids posi
tion. Pendleton, ».,lth his oily voice, could
not. lie spoke with dignity and stately
phrase of the forced paralysis of the
powers of Iho Senate. lie ridiculed
Conklins’* declaration on Friday that
the llepublicans would have a con
stitutional majority when all the
seals were tilled, and Insinuated that there
had been meetings at which champagne and
satisfaction had been discussed, lie was
confident that no Democrat would vote with
tho Kcpubllcans. lie Insisted that It was
the constitutional duty of both parties to go
onward, and denounced what ho called tho
unparalleled proposition that the Democrats
should pair two live votes with the votes of
two persons not yet elected to the Senate,
although Senator Yoorheus subsequently
made It clear that
TUB SUGGESTION OP THIS UNIMIIALLKWiU
I , ItOI‘OSITJON
came from him, and he uttered a solemn
warning, ho said, that such a proceeding
should not become a precedent, and lie ap
pealed to all that tho Senate should bo or
ganized—namely: that tho Itepubllcuns
should consent that the Democrats shall con
trol the body in which they are to be a mi
nority. Maliono, meanwhile, sat intent upon
a distant sofa, conversing with a blind editor
friend, a Virginia guest, liuyord, then,with
stilted speech and great pretense of candor,
camo forward, and, with his voice as full of
pathos as If • lie were delivering an
eulogy upon tho memory of the la
mented Carpenter, to whoso crape-cov
ered chair ho referred with grace,
suggested, with sumo hesitation, that
tho Kepubllciui minority, if it be a mi
nority,— ucondition which no longer uxlsts,—
should recognize the fact that
TUB LKX ILUOItIS I‘AUTIS
should prevail, tho major party being that
one whoso vanishing majority of nine, which
disappeared March 4 at noon, .Air. Bayard
subsequently bewailed. Still Mahone sat
silent, ami Bayard’s pathos brought no sign,
save this, that Mr. Bayard placed himself on
rerun! an not intending to ho an obstruction
ist to the Itcpubllcuns when the tide of num
bers should boar tho power to them,
which It will at the flood tide
of votes In a full Senate, on
next Thursday at. high noon. Tho Ilepnb
llcans thought It well to go into executive
session, or to adjourn. Mr. Allison, speak
ing for the caucus, made tho former motion.
Tho Democrats look advantage of It, ami
forced a roll-call, thinking that by thatnioans
they might compel the mysterious Virginia
Senator to show his hand.
TIIKIIK WAS INTENSE INTEnEST
as the roll proceeded. Davis, of Illinois, was
callus!. No response came. Ills chair was
vacant. Edmunds’ name was called. Ills
voice was silent. He was so 111 ho had been
compelled to leave tho Chamber, and bad
paired with his friend Garland. Tho Clerk
approached tho letter “M.” There was a
painful silence in tho Chamber and n hush of
suspense in every gallery. That pe
culiar electrical condition which is said
to exist in American crowds when
wrought up to excitement was brought
to tho consciousness of perhaps every
man in that Chamber to-day. The
Cleric, with a voice which seemed mnflled
with agitation, spoke tho word '* Mahone.”
Thu silence deepened. The suspense grew
greater. Scarcely had thethlck-volced Clerk
muttered the last sound, however, when,
sharp and strong, from the rear sent at the
Jelt of the Chamber, there rang out a crisp,
clear “ aye,”
MAIIONK, OF VIRGINIA, HAD CAST HIS VOTE.
It was with tho solid Republican parly, to go
Into executive session. There was a bustle,
a confusion, almost a tumult, In the Cham
ber. Tho Iloor was crowded with mem
bers of the new Congress and mem
bers of tho old, and ofllcescckers
hunting a sensation, to relieve themselves of
the tedium of waiting. The galleries were
llllcd with the Inst few hundreds of strangers
left over from Inaugural week. There sud
denly burst from the Repuolicau side a
hearty round of applause, joined on the
Democratic side by some smothered groans,
ami, in the galleries, where some noted
Southern sympathisers sat, a few sharp
hisses. Grim smiles were visible upon tho
faces of
THE FEW DEMOCRATS WHO DARED TO
LAUGH.
solemnity settled like a pall upon tho rest.
Tho gentlemen who had been for a week
chairmen of endless committees upon paper,
the lank, long-haired, ungalnlyyouths about
the Senate lloor, who were waiting to bo
clerks and messengers of committees that are
not to be, tho Democratic politicians who
thought that they were to remain behind Ujo
Inst bulwark of Congressional power, In
order Umt they might have some Influence
upon Executive action, were all alike dis
mayed by Uio certainty of their Impending
rnln. The little man on the backseat had
dashed their hopes. The slang cry went
upon from one of the galleries from a disap
pointed Dourbon
“WE ARE LEFT I”
The first man to recover from the din'and
daze was Farley, of California. The an
dadty of tho plaudits had annoyed him. Ho
moved that Uio Vice-President attend to his
business, and preserve order, and scowled
savagely at Uio galleries, which ho threat
ened should be cleared. This burst of spleen
umyliavo cleared tho speaker’s temper; It
did not clear Uio galleries. Mahono menu-
wldle sat quietly talking with Ids friend,
Pcmllelon renewed his motion, ami proposed
to vole upon the resolution to create com
mittees appointed by the Democratic cau-
cus,—
A TUEMKXDOUS PIECE OF PAItLIAMEXTAHY
IMPUDENCE,
In view of the fact that Mahonc's voice had
hardly died away. The roll was about to bo
called upon the motion when Conkllng rose.
Ills opportunity had come. Ills prophecy
of Friday was fullllled. No one doubted
that Urn Bcpuhllcans were to organize the
Senate. Everyone believed that Mahono
would cast his vote with them. Colliding
was at his best. His irony has seldom been
surpassed. Ho turheiMho batteries of his
sarcasm upon Pendleton, who is, compared
with him, a pigmy in stature and In speech,
and declared that ho ought not to ho
In haste;. that there were still two
vacant chairs; that Pcmllelon himself
had allowed his great constitutional sword
to lie a sluggard In Its scabbard until that
congregation of Infallibility commonly
known as tho Democratic caucus had com
pleted Its work. Tho Somite had grown

Morgan Interposed a resolution of con

which wassubsequently adopted. It seemed
possible that un adjournment and execu

Hill made tliat speech, which will be
read us a model of Indecorum, so long as par
liamentary proceedings are read among men.
No one had constituted Uto Senator from

that 50,000 copies of the speech were ’to
bo sent Into the Old Dominion.
Smoko there was, and lire; but
who was burned? The verbatim record
of tho proccedmgs (printed elsewhere) will
show. Hill did not montlon Mahone by
name. That was tho most cowardly fuuturo
of his assault, fur, subsequently, after much
subterfuge and shullilng evasion, ho admit
ted that ho iiad the Senator from Virginia In
his mind. Hill loudly announced that Uio
Senate would contlnno to bo Democratic, as
no Senator elected us a Democrat would be
guilty qf party treason. Where was Uio
Democrat who would betray his party? and
us ho made his inquiry ho searched thn Sen
ate Chamber round, dually allowing his with
ering glunco to rest upon Mahone, who was
still quietly sitting upon his distant sola.

As ' In’hls denunciations of the
suspected traitor,
speech ohew hotter,
h!& x Agnago grow uncontrolled. Ho de
nounced the suspected, unknown, but clear-
Iy-lndlcntod person ns a man unworthy to
associate with men, as a person only to bo
remembered as infamous. Tho air of uncon
cern quickly departed from tho little man
upon the sofa as this sentiment echoed
through tho Senate Chamber. lie re
turned tho withering glance of his
assailant with a look of calm
but ‘lntense determination. "No man
elected ns a Democrat will prove
false to his trust. No Stale Is to
blush at the exhibition of such Infidelity 1”
said Ben Hill, with defiant arrogance, as he
fairly glowered upon the object of his de
nunciation. The lithe, wiry, gray-boarded
man coolly left his sofa and took his own
scut in tho outer row. Ho sat upon the edge
of his chair, keenly eyeing his accuser, ns
tho torrent of vituperation continued. Mr.
Hill had not fairly resumed his scat before
the small gentleman, who had been sitting
at one of the desks hi tho outside row
on the Republican side, sprang down
between tho desks and chairs, until he had
made his way Into tho area before the Chair
of tho presiding ofllcer, a place from which
Senators rarely speak, lie was rather un
dersized, with but little flesh on his bones,
and wore long gray hair, covering a massive
head, while a heavy mustache and long
sweeping grizzly beard concealed the lower
part of his face. His cheekbones were high,
and one of Ins dark steel-gray eyes hud a
blemish In It, although they
ROTH (ILOWED LIKE COALS OP FIIIE.
When he found himself In the'area, he
turned towards IHII, placed his hands
upon his hips and leaned forward, like a
lion about to spring upon his prey. Ben
lllll’s face blanched, and he became very 111
at ease. Tim lithe Virginian began to hurl
quick, hot, Impassioned sentences ut tho
Georgia Senator. Never has the Senate
Chamber, in modern times, echoed with such
a succession of delimit expressions or con
tradictions. The magnetism of his applaud
ing audience appeared to stimulate him, and
he stood like Vulcan forging his thunder
bolls of wrath at his discomfited assailant.
He had not spoken two sentences before
there was
XO LONGER AXV DOUDT
ns to his position. He arraigned Bon Hill
fur umunnly Indirection, lie denied the
right of n mAn to Question Ids Inconsistency
who wns elected to n State Convention to
support the Union and voted for secession.
Ho said that he was responsible to tho peo
ple of Virginia and not to tho Senator from
Georgia for his acts, nnd that he cmno to Ujo
Senate not by tho election of any Legis
lature, but direct from the people, who had
elected n Legislature to ratify their act.
Deferring to' the War, he said that
he had done Ids duty then, and
thanked God that tho past was over, nnd that
he did not belong to tho Democracy which
was represented by Hill and Ids associate
Dourhons. Ho believed In the whole coim
try, not In partisanship. Ho maintained that
he was a belter Democrat than Hill, "and,”
he said, raising himself to his full hlght, and
lifting his voice to Its highest pitch, '
“I SERVE NOTICE OX YOU,
that 1 Intend to bo tho judge of my owa
Democracy. Ido not Intend to be run by!
your caucus. I am, in every sense,
a free man. I Intend to defend’
my own Interests,—tho Interests of Uio pea-*
plo I represent,—nnd I certainly Intend to
defend myself,” and as ho uttered tills Indlg-J
mint defiance no one doubted Uiat tho gal-:
lanl little soldier would keep Ids word. Ami,
addressing Deu HIM in a manner that every
Southern man could understand, he said: “I
want the Senator from Georgia to under-
stand, Just here, that we shall got on more
harmoniously if he will abandon Innuendo
and Insinuation and speak openly and direct
ly. I come hero without being required to
slate to my people what 1 am. They oro will
lug to trust me.”
WHEN MAIIOXE CEASED SPEAKING,
there whs a tremendous hurst of applause.
Ben Hill tried to answer, hut he destroyed
the strength of his former violent speech by
shutting evasions. He undertook to make It.
appear that, because ho had not mentioned
Mahono by name he did not mean him, and
had mudu no personal assault upon him, and
then he went into tho graveyards of Vir
ginia, ghostlike, to summon up some great
names whose owners, ho said, would not
havo played tho purtof traitor. Mahono grew
more Irritated at this attempt to evade ro
sponslbllliy. Ho interrupted Hill, and, in a
manner not altogether parliamentary, but
which left no doubt us to his meaning, ho
said: “I cannot allowyou to make such in
sinuations. They nro unmanly.
IT MUST STOP, Kill.
X can never allow you, or any othor man, to
make such charges without a proper answer.’*
Southern men seemed to kyow what that
meant, and Bon Hill, who Is very bold of
tongue, did not cure to Invito what Southern
men call “u personal dlttlculty” with tho
little soldier, and tho torrent of denuncia
tion censed. .Many Uepubllcans, meanwhile,
had become Indignant at tho unprecedented
assault upon a now Senator, before oven
he had indicated what action ho might take.
Mr. was tho first to bring Ben Hill to
hook. Hu arraigned Hill for the Inconsis
tency of his own record upon the subject of
secession, und dented to him tho right to set
himself up as the custodian of tho morals of
the Senate. Incidentally speaking of Sena
tor David Davis, Senator Logan said:
“Judge Davis never was a Democrat, und Is
not to-day.” Mr. Logan was tho first to
clearly bring out the point that the Imputa
tion of treachery could not be placed ut
tho feet of Mahone, inasmuch as the
Democratic party hud a regular nominee.
