He is always equal to the occasion where strength of argument and clearness of statement are needed. . He is a formidable adversary, as Blaine and other Stalwarts have diacoveredj On Saturday he made a really powerful and effective speech in reply to Conk ling ' et a.jWe ; copy a paragraph from a loug account of it in the Washington special to the Baltimore Gazette'. ! - . "Washxkgton," May" 11. The Senate bas seldom heard such oratory and sar casm, and seldom witnessed sncu striking effects of them on that body as on yester day, when Mr. Hill, of Georgia, for four hours discussed the principles, involved in the legislative and army bills. As he was compelled to go home on private business. Senator Beck, who is in charge of the le gislative bill, suspended the reading in order to give him an opportunity to speak. Mr. Hill, since his amnesty . speech in the House, has delivered nothing to be com pared with his effort yesterday. Leaving the matter of it out of the question, it was a marvel of ' memory - and physical ens durance. He used no notes whatever, until, ' he came to some personal points, and yet the speech was fnll of citations from- the constitutional f ramers . and expounders, ' all arranged in the most . compact and lucid argument yet heard on the Demo cratic side" or the chamber. Though he spoke for four solid hours to a larr.e and attentive Senate, he used no stimulants of any kiad, and never resorted to the clap trap of having his quotations and illustra tions read by the clerk or some brother Senator, as is the- custom of Edmunds and Conkling when they make the 'greatest ftort of their lives. He read everything aiimself, and read it with astonishing-vigor aod success. Few - men - in the Senate, granted that they put the same power in their speeches, could have - stood such a sliaiD, and it can only be explained on the ground that Mr. Hill is a perfect man. physically, and keeps himself so by using no liquor and going to Dea at regular nours. The speech showed the profound thought, wide information and deep general learn ing to be expected from such a man. He lives in an atmosphere of study and am bition." .-.V . V , t . .;. ; The Riehmond State's corsespon : dent'say:'T-Tc"""w'"'J! "It is agreed cm , H 'sides 'that Senator Ben Hill's speech! last Saturday, was supe rior to anything he has ever done in Con-r gress before, ana KepuDlicans say was the ablest speech made by a Democrat in either house since the present controversy began." v.--- :"- There is already much speculation in Washino'ton as to what the Demi ocrats will do next, one proposition ...

According to the Richmond State's special, certain Senators say "That 'it would not be wise to fail to pass the Legislative Appropriation bill, for no matter If the President should veto the ten commandments, the Executive, Legis lative and Judicial branches of the Go vernment must be sapported.'"r They are williner. if not anxious, to make the issue oo the question 1 of military interference at elections, and believe most firmly that the people will sustain them if the President persists in vetoinsr a bill so plainly eonsti-r tutional and rieht.

There is one com missioned officer-to evenr four privates, and to pay jbeLpficers requires $1,000,600 more than for the privates.
