SCENES in the SENATE. Another Fierce and Prolonged Struggle. Motion to take up Kellogg' s Case Carried, CONOVER VOTING WITH THE REPUBLICANS. WHEELER VOTING IN THE FACE OF DEMOCRATIC PROTESTS. HILL MAKES THE HNEST SPEECH OF THE SES310N. Tlie Democrats Secure an Atl- jonrnment Before Kellogg can be Seated Butler's Cbances Diminishing Sargent Again in His Seat. Cieneral Kews and CSosstp. Washikgton, Nov 23. Immediately after the reading of the journal Mr Wadleigh, of New Hampshire, chair man oi the committee on rnvileges and Elections, moved to proceed to the consideration of the resolution re ported by that committtee for the ad mission of Kellogg as cenator from Louisiana. Thurman, of Ohio, objected, and read the eighth rule, which provides that no bill reported from a committee, or any other subject upon the calendar, shall be proceeded with in the morn ing hour unless by unanimous consent. A lengthy discussion in regard to the rule's ensued, and was participated in by Messrs Edmunds, Thurman. Wadleigh, Wallace and others. finally the Vice President decided that the subject was a question of the highest privilege and could be consid ered in the morning hour, notwith standing the objection. Thurman appealed from the decision of the Vice Precident, and the yeas and nays being called the decision was sustained yeas 29 and nays 28. Patter son voting with the Democrats in the negative, and Uonover voting with the Republicans in the affirmative. Davis, of Illinois, did not vote when his name was called. The Question then being. Will the Senate proceed to the discussion of the resolution reported by the committee on Privileges and . .Elections declaring Kellogg entitled to a seat as Senator from Louisiana, The vote resulted, yeas 29 and nays 29. The Vice President voted in the affirmative, and the resolution was taken up. Conover voted with the Republicans in the affirmative, and Patterson and Davis, of Illinois, with the Democrats in the negative. Thurman then moved to amend the resolution by striking out all after "resolved" and insert M C Butler. Edmunds said he did not want time wasted, and suggested that a vote be taken on the admission of Kellogg on Friday next at 1 o'clock, and on the admission of Butler on Saturday next at 1 o'clock. (Laugh' er on the Dem ocratic side.) After it was decided to take up the Kellogg case a lengthy debate sprang up between members of the commit tee on Privileges fc Elections as to the status of Mr Eustis' case. The Repub lican members claimed that Eustis' case would have been reported this morning but for the last night's con tinuous session. The vote on Thurman's amendment to the report of the committee on Privileges and Elections, to substitute Butler for Kellogg, was 61 to 61, Davis and Patterson voting with the Demo crats, and Conover with the Republi cans. The Vice President voted nay, and the amendment was lost. Thurman rose to a point of order, and challenged the right of the Vice President in this matter, as the ques tion was one affecting the organization of the Senate, and it was not a question where the proviso ol the constitution, giving the Vice President the casting vote, applied Alter some debate Mr inurman withdrew his challenge of the Vice President's vote. Saulsbury substituted a resolution to recommit the Louisiana contest to the committee, with instructions to take testimony on various points Hill addressed the foenate on this amendment. Arguing on the Vice President's riehtto vote. Mr Beck, of Kentucky, said it was not necessary that the Vice President should have yoted at all to day. He thought he was rather hasty in eivinsr the vote, and that being so, this discussion was out ot order, ine amendment did not receive a majority vote. and. therefore, was lost. Mr Eaton, of Connecticut, said the action of the Senate some twenty-five or thirty years ago. was taken without thought or time for examination. He had no doubt in his own mind that the President of the Senate had no power to act in the organization of that body. He is not one of the represent atives of a sovereign State in the Sen ate. and when the proper time comes he Mr Eaton I would be glad to argue this matter, ne would go lurtner ana say that if any man should get a seat a x 1 il. 1: .Civ. TTJ 1879 he would ask that the chair filled by such person be declared vacant In the Vice -President would be a viola tion of the constitution of the United States. After Thurman had withdrawn his After what had fallen from the Sena at or from Connecticut Mr Eaton he would take occasion to say that, as at paesent advised, he would exercise that right at his discretion. Mr Saulsbury submitted a substitute for the resolution of the committee, reciting at length various charges made by Judge Spofford against the returning officers in Louisiana, the legality of the Legislature which elect ed Kellogg, and that Mr Kellogg him self, while Governor, had joined in il legal acts with such returning officers, and, therefore, providing for the re committal of the whole question to the committee on Privileges and Elections, with instructions to said committee to take testimony in regard to such charg es. Mr Saulsbury spoke at length in favor of his substitute, and Mr Wad leigh against it. The speech of Mr Hill, of Georgia, in support of the substitute, is consid dered the finest of the session. Al luding to Spofford's brief, Mr Hill ap pealed to eyjery Senator on this floor to sink the partisan for a moment and not deny the right to this contestant to take testimony which no court on earth would refuse him. Mr Kellogg came here now to claim the price of his fraud. He came here to ask that this Senate would give effect to that fraud. A committee had been ap pointed to examine all such cases, and this committee said : "We have taken so much testimony about returning boards that we will take no more." Mr Wadleigh said the Field commit tee last winter took testimony on this very point. Mr Hill said the Field committee took testimony in regard to the electo ral vote ; that was closed, and, so far as he was concerned, it should be for ever. Mr McDonald inquired of the Sena tor from New Hampshire Mr Wad leigh if he did not know that the members of the Louisiana returning board refused to testify before the House committee, and were not sum moned before the Senate committee last winter. Mr McMillan said they were examin ed by this Field committee. Mr Hill resumed and again called upon any Senator to put his hand upon any testimony, already taken, as to Kellogg's complicity with the returnn ing board, as Judge Spofford offered to prove. Mr McMillan : "It would be very dif ficult to prove a fact that never ex isted." Mr Hill : "Did anybody ever before hear a judge tell a party asking leave to present testimony, 'why you can't prove that, even if I give you permis sion.'" Addressing Mr McMillan he said; "How do you know it never oc curred? Were you down there?" (Laughter.) Mr McMillan : "I was there for a long time." Mr Hill : "Well, I did not know that. We will investigate you." Renewed laughter." Continuing his remarks he said : "Senators should not sit as judges to decide the rights between. parties and say they would not let them take proof, Mr Kellogg did not pretend to have a Legislature except by the ac tion of that returning board. He ad mitted that three of the members of the State Senate, returned as elected by that board, were not elected by the people. If this should be proved was he fit for a seat in this body ? Would Senators say that the Governor of a State might collude with a returning board to elect himself to the Senate? Would they seat such a man in this body? bo certain was the committee at first that it would have to take tes timony that the chairman applied to the Senate and got authority to do so, and when the committee got the par ties to join issue it refused to take tes timony." Finally an adjournment was obtain ed, Patterson, Conover and Davis vot ing with the Democrats. The Senate meets to-morrow. Washington, Nov 28. Gen Ord is expected here Friday for consultation over the border troubles. The treasury sells a million of gold Saturday. Senator Sargent is in his seat to-day after a few days absence in conse quence of the suicide of his sister. There is to be a court ol inquiry over the loss of the Huron. The departments close at noon toi day for thanksgiving. FRANCE. Possible 'Resignation of Presi dent McMahon A Quieter Feeling in the Senate. London, November 28. The Paris correspondent of the Times, discussing the assertion of the Moniteur, that President McMahon may submit to the Senate the alternative of a dissolu tion or his regisnation, if the Chamber refuses to vote for the budget, says others believe, and they are probably right, that 11 the benate refuses a sec ond dissolution, President McMahon will hold himself absolved from his rash promises, and take a cabinet ac ceptable to the Chamber, Reports are also current that tbe Left intends to send a conservative deputation to urge the marshal to re turn to the normal system ol govern ment by the majority. The same correspondent says it is understood that the budget, for ignor ing Minister De Welch's motion for the separate consideration of the four cate gories of direct taxes, will themselves submit a recommendation to the same effect. The French situation is unchanged, because the next move is expected to come from the Senate, which stands adjourned until Thursday. The gener al opinion seems to be that this ad journment was for the purpose of giv ing time to the government to win the support of the Orleanists for extreme measures. Nevertheless, denatches this morning indicate a calmer feeling than on the previous day. The non-issue of any circular by the new foreign minuter "'""i"" children 15 cents. Races" comme abroad, and the; (Muntermand of tbeVat 2 p m , f ' B ff DEMARE8T. minister to the J? rench representatives receptions of their subordinates the several members; of the cabinet, are cited as indications that the cabinet does not expect to last ; long.

By repealing the bill submit ted by the cabinet, the Chamber would not definitely refuse to sanction the expenditure, but would simply reserve its ulterior decision. The correspondent says this report strikes by anticipation at one of the experiments which probably had been relied on for expending money with out the previous authority of the Chamber. Parties of resistance thus find themselves more and more hem med in by the net-work of legality from which there is no escape except by criminal enterprises, which have no advocates among the most ardent and heedless advisers nf the Ely see. THE WAR. Severn I mall Battles Prepar ing to go into Winter Quar tersThree Feet of Snow. London, November 28. A special to the Daily Telegraph from Pera reports that the Turks hold a strong fortified position at the head of the Orchanie defile, and have abandoned the town pf Orchanie for strategic reasons. The Vienna evening papers publish a Bucharest special according to which Prince Gortschakoff has engaged in a little diplomatic intercourse. A pro posal has already been made for a con ference on peace conditions. The Daily Telegraph's Pera special contains indications confirmatory of the view that the Turks have almost if not quite abandoned the expectation of reaching Plevna with succor. A dis patch says there are renewed reports of the fighting near Rustchuk, the Tu: ks being the aggressors, but we have no information whether these move ments are extensive enough to cause the withdrawal of any forces from Plevna, even if the Czarowitch's army were weak, which is denied. Constantinople, November 28. Ghazi Moukhtar Pasha telegraphs from Erzeroum under date of November 25th as follows : "The Russian Bayazid col umn is encamped between Zudekan and Karakitssa. Everything indicates that tbe Russians are preparing to sus pend operations and go into winter quarters. "The snow has fallen in the moun tains to the depth of three feet.'' A Russian official dispatch, dated Bogert, says : "The Turks on Wed nesday morning violently attacked the twelfth corps at Terstenic and Metchka. After six hours fighting the Turks were repulsed, and pursued until night. Tbe Turkish loss must have been very heavy. The Russian loss numbered three hundred, including a laige num ber ol othcers. "Simultaneous demonatrationslazainst Polomorka and Kazelevo were repuls ed with trifling hghling." London, November 28. Lord Derby, 'ecretary of State for foreign aflaira to day received a deputation representing the society lor the protection of Brit ish interests, and three other political societies, headed by Lord Stratheden Campbell, who presented a memorial urging active interference in favor of Turkey. Lord Derby replied that the government saw no reason to depart from its neutrality. He did not think Constantinople or the Suez Canal in danger. "When the government," he said, "saw a reasonable opportunity it would do what it could to bring about peace. Sudden changes of temperature are very productive of coughs and colds, which al ways yield, however, very promptly to Dr. Bun's vougn Byrup. A Very Good Reason. The reason why only one sample bottle of Merrell's Hepatine for the Liyer will be sold to the same person, for ten cents, by oar druggists, in Charlotte, is because of the enormous expense of importing the Hepa tine into this country, bat as tnere are tuty doses in the large size bottles, it seems two cents a dose is cheap enough for a medi cine that cures dyspepsia and liver com p;aint. All who have not had a sample bottle are entitled to one for ten cents at all druggists. Three doses relieves any case of dyspepsia, constipation, indigestion or liver complaint, intbe world.
