The Republicans had long i ago been aware of this act, but net until j yesterday had all disguise been thrown t off. This purpose on the part of the members of the minority was of such a character that it could not for a moment be acceded to. To accede to that intolerant and outrageous domination of the minority wcjld be to strike a serious blow at free institutions. The action of the minority was revolutionany." Senator Aldrich, at the conclusion of his remarks, mored that the Senate pro ceed to the consideratien of the resola- j ^for to amend the rules by the adoption I of the plan of cloture. The point of order was made on the j Democratic side bj Senator Harris that j the unfinished business was a motion to j correct the Journal of Tuesday's pro- i ceedmgs, and that as it involved the |k status of Senator Aldrich's resolution it must be first disposed of. i|pk . AN AFFECTATION OK FAIRNESS. The Vice President indicated his de^BHRn sire to hear argument .on the point, and I the positions on each side were stated ; H by various Senators, Senator Stewart BE arguing strongly on the Democratic side. BffiBs|and Senator Sherman arguing that, al Ittbougn the motion to corrcct me -j our- j fcal was a privileged question, it did not i S|ecessarily follow that it must be first SBpsidered. Any other subject mijjhti Btaken up in preference by a majority I ifte. Up to 1 o'clock a decision on Boris's point of order had not been although the Vice President, on ?g|:al occasions, indicated his readiness j Scide it. But Senator Gorman had j Ho or for an hour and went oyer the j 8b ground, discussiag general poll- j v/all attempts to cut him j V, P^ of these attempt? was made by j Senator Aldrich at*rf \Tai: met with a sharn rebuke from Senator Toller, and a I notification that the Senator foom Rhode Island "must not assume the role u/JSoss <- of the Senate." THE MATTER IN A NUTSHELL , Senator Gortaan said: "If the Sena- < tors on the other side propose to go on with the public business and to take up \! m such matters as the whole country is interested in we will meet vou as we have j ?: li r? *1 uoae uunuij Luc 5CS5IUU. nu< uiciuvic, jour fault, and yours alone, if the public : . business is delayed.

[Applause.] A VICIOUS RULING. I The Vice President ruled that Senator Aldrich's motion to proceed to the ! consideration of the cloture rule was in 1 order, and overruled Senator Harris's j point of order. Senator Harris appealed, but the Chair was sustained?-yes 35. nays 30. Senators Teller. Wolcott. and Stewart ' voting with the Democrats. Senator Aldrich moved to proceed to j the consideration of his resolution (clo- ' ture,) and Senator Gorman moved to ' table the motion. The Vice President submitted the < question to the Senate and the rote re-1 j suited? ye.\s 30, navs 35. So the mo- , tion to table was lost, and a vote was ] taken on Senator Alurich's motion to ] consider the cloture rule. ; The roll-call was suspended on Sena- ' tor Kar-om's point of order, that the 1 Tmunoi nf v elmwed that the mat- ' ter had already been taken up. 1 The Chair overruled the point of order, i j and the Democrats took an appeal! which was defeated, and the Chair was | sustained?yeas 3d, nays 27?where-i] upon Senator German made the further |. point of order that Senator Aldrich's I. motion must be in wruing. 11 rTATTTPVTAirWI'P { p.

VVM wvwards Scnat&r Hoar, who was sitting on the Democratic side. I am here, and I never enjoyed myself so much in my life," said Senator Hoar. The inquiry 1 wish to make was," said Senator Dawes. "If the Senator from Missouri does not draw a distinction between freedom of debate and anj, eternity of talk." [Laughter.] Senator iioar defended himself from I the imputation of inconsistency. There [ '.s nothing in the article, he said, i-hat j says that by reason freedom of debate it j shall be in order for the minority of the j Senate to ?p*nd days and nights and | weeks in talking about something else j than the subject before t!ie Senate, and j thereby overthrowing the great con- j stitutional functions of the Senate as aj legislative body. There is not a phrase . in it which I do not stand upon and will j i not defend. It is a notorious fact that f the Senator form Rhode Island has been told that if his amendment were brought ' in as it was orginally proposed amendments euough would be offered on the . Democratic side of the chamber to con-1 sume tiie eati'T lime till the 4th of March next. The attempt to defeat the will of the people expressed through by Congress the process of long debate and uik ing up time (as we have seen it this rery : session) is as much a conspiracy against the Constitution and national authority ; as was the Rebel congress that met in < Richmond. [Applause m tlir gauer!es.] Senator Gray : "Was that true iu 1879 when that side of the chamber Jillbustered?" Notices of amendments to the proposed rule were given by Senators Stewart and Gibson. Senator Stewart's amendment looks to allowing other than pending amendments to the measure to be offered and vote. ] on, : also to allow motions to recommit and lay on the table, and Senator Gibson's requires the demand lor closure debate to be seconded by two-thirds, instead of h majorsty, of the Senators present. Without concluding his remarks Senator Cockrell yielded to Senator Aidrich, on whose motion at G P. M, the Senate took a recess till 11 A. M. to morrow. The object of takin; a recess instead of adjourning is supposed to be to aroid questions being raised as to the correction of ihe Journal, as thtre will be no Journal until ihe legislative day of the 22d is finished, which may not be until 1 the pending question is finally disposed of. 3et\vo?n C?tton Net/ York, Jan. 28.?The Clark Thread company has managed to induce sixty-seven men to go to Newark to take the places of the strikers, but at no time since the strike has the number at work exceeded twenty-iour, and the others hare refused to stay upon learning that their liberty was to be curtailed, and that they would have . to. eat and sleep in ths" hose house ; of the Newark mill.

They are guarded from intrusion'w .attack bv a corps of f special officers employ-eif the company, and ail the fresh air titer catch while crossing the yard to the rmrl^ The manner of ge'tting the new spYsi ers into the mill has been a puzzle to the strikers until it leaked out that s thej were taken in between bales of < cotton on one of the company's trucks, i The bales are built up on the truck so ( that a space for the men is left in the centre, and the load goas through the streets to the mill yard without any- ( bodv susDectinsr that the men are con :eaied in it. The spinners who are on a strike say that it is necessary to keep the ntw J men in ignorance of the true condition 5 jf affairs, because the strikers, when J thfcj can get a few minutes' conversa- ( lion with the newcomers, can always Influence them to turn back.

An inquiry shorvs that there is a basis of truth in the report. It i jaunot be learned that anything like 11 formai pledges on the subject have , passed, but it is certainly a matter ot , | isstirance among the Democratic Sena- < :ors that the bill is not to arise again [ :o trouble them, and they have notified Lheir party friends m the II?use that r there is no longer any necessity to let j1 :he possibility of the return of "theelec- [{ Lion bill to the House enter into their jj calculation when considering the order business in that body.

Morgan resumed the lloor ana continued his argument he began Saturday in opposition to the proposed rule and to the election bill, both of which measure he claimed (on the authority of the New York Times) to be for the advancement of Harrison's project for a re-election. At 1:20 Wolcott asked Morgan to yield the floor to him so that he might move to take up the apportionment bill. Morgan said that lie \rould do so although he was at a rery interesting point in his speech which lie trusted he tvould nerer have the opportunity to resume. Wolcott then made that motion and Dolph moved to lay it on the table. The point of order against the latter mniinn was made on the Democratic ?ide, but the presiding oflieer overruled it and h?ld that the motion was in order. The vote was proceeded with amid ^reat excitement and there was much , sonfusion and some ill feeling in relation to the pairs. Daniel said that he htd been paired with Squire, but as he was informed by " - < ' t X- ,7? ?l,nf U1C OCOULUf iiTUlli ^ c> aua ?> ai \jj umir the Senator from California (Stanford) was in favor of proceeding with the business he would transfer Squire's pair to Standford and w?uld himself vote. 1 Aldrich objected to the proposed, transfer and insisted that there was no authority for it. Stewart admitted that he had 110 direct authority to pair Standford with the Sen- ator in favor of the proposed rule, but said that Stanford told him before leaving the cilv for Xew York that he was in favor of taking up Malapportionment1 bill. Aldrich asserted, on the contrary, that; Stanford had told bin* distinctly *n sev eral occasions that he was in favor of the pending resolution and of its con- j sideratlon, and he (Aldrich) intimated | that the proposed transfer would !>ej taking an unfair advantage of Standford's j absence. The controversy developed some acri- j monious feeling cn both sides, but the | matter was settled br Daniel saying that j if there was any doubt or dispute about it he would let his pair with Sqtire stand , ?and that was the upshot of it. Some question also arose as to the pair* of Shoup anil Moody ; but the final result was that the pairs stood as follows : Pierce and iSrovrn, Plumb and Gibson, Pettigrew and Pasco, Squire and Daniel, Shoup and Colquitt, Sanders and Ingalls, Chandler and JBlodgett, Moody and Hearst, Hisgins and Voorhces. Standford stands as absent and not paired. The result was announced as: Yeas 34. nays 35. So the motion to lay on the table was rejected. The announcement was greeted with applause on the Democratic side and in the galleries. This was resented by EV.knunds, who insisted that the chair should &fttQ?ce the rules of the Senate. ind that if tfiere wIK* ^Tjicuet^non _o^ ,he disturbance the galleries should be cleared.

(Jaston's brother-in-law. McLain tells this romantic story: "In 1SC2 Gaston, who is a native of New Hampshire, joined a. regiment from that State ant! went t? the front. lie was captured, and while on his way to Andersonville prison escaped. lie wandered about through woods and swamps for nearly three weeks. When famished with hunger and crazed by what he believed to be continued pursuit he decided to give himself up. One evening he scrambled out of the thicket and made his way to a large old-fashioned south era home. A cojd rain had set in. and caring little whether he lived or died, he walked boldly up the driveway and knocked. "The place seemed deserted. A few minutes later he became couscioua that some one was scrutinizing him from a window a few feet away. lie was finally admitted by a young woman who carried a revolver iu her hand. She got him some supper and said she was alone in the house, but expected her father, who was home from the coniiederate army on a sick leave, to return at any ! time. "She seemed to tasc an interest in Gaston, and laid him in a dark corner of [ the garret. There she fed him for two weeks and showed him how to get in and out at night without areusiug her parents, till he finally escaped. "After the war he returned to Elberton and heard that his benefactress had married. Gaston is now a railroad contractor. Last summer he was building a branch on the Georgia Pacific when he teamed that his old love was a widow and had a family of five children. lie immediately went to the old home near Eiberton, made himself known, and the; result was a marriage, which took place yesterday. The pair will soon leave for Mr. Gaston's home in New l'ork." Tli? Fiitr and the l-"orc? 15111.

This same story rrns circulated ee^cral weeks ago, and it was then said that Senator Gorman, as leader of the Democracy in the Senate, was authorized to pledge certain Democratic votes iu the Kansas .Legislature to Ingalls if he would openly oppose the force bill. W lien ftenaior uormau was lniervicweu on the subject tonight he said he could not undertake to assume the responsibility for all the ingenious statements sent out from Washington at this time.

The promoters of the Fair now tear that the Legislatures of Xew Yoik and Xew Jersey will follow the example of lho3C States. As the force bill is said to be aimed directly at Xew York and New Jersey as well as the Southern States, the Democratic Legislatures in the North should not hesitate to join with their Southern brethren in any scheme calculated to preserve the rights of their people.

HUNDREDS OF MiLES OF POLES AND WIRES IN A TANGLE. 4 Tits Great Scow aud Sleet and Wind Storm Wrecked t!ie Wires -Telesraphic Communication Almost Completely Cut Oil. Xkw Yokk, Jan. 28.?It is just three days since the torriiie storm swooped down upon this <?reat city. I The iirst authentic account of the \vrr-fk.'!Tf> f.iusf-d bv the snow and sleet and gale is given in the Sun. That pa| per devotes more than a dozen columns in describing the situation in New ! York city and state, and surrounding J country. The greater part of this vast amount of information was received by | incoming trains and special service? i not by telegraph, for the wires were all I in. a tangled mass on the ground. I The first wire service has just been established, and other are being righted i as rapidly* as men can work, and in a ' few hours regular^J^Sfe communica\ tion will be established again. ***' ?"' I T_ !_ C il. j ni speaiuusj 01 ui?j siurm, uic oun j says: ! " "Within the city the wreck of aerial j lines was unheard of. Rows of poles : toppled, broke oft' and fell, overborne J by the snow coating of the wires. Such j was the maze and tangle of wires of all ! sorts that it might have been manslaughter to tarn on the arc light currents last night. The streets were left to the moon, as they were when the mayor's ax was falling on the poles. i After this dose it is not likely that any electrical company which can get itself underground will "want t^yjhabit the ?i upper air.

Even the blizzard had not so absolutely demoral-, ized the service. The "Western Union could boast of just three wires in use at b o'clock Sunday night. These ran to Buffalo and Albany, and by these routes all business, north, south, east and west, was transacted. The long-distance telephone lines, which withstood the blizzard bravely, surrendered completely to this storm. The state of Xew Jersey is tangle of wrecked poles and wires from one end to the other, and it will be a week before the telegraph service is restored. I'ive lines of wires across the Xewark meadows look as if a cyclone had passed over them, so completely have the damp ~ - vf-' fr?Art UJL \x\r? IV/ wj&va*. work. The destructive effects of the storm extended over a comparatively limited area. A short distance below" Philadelphia was the southern limit of telegraph demoralization, and Boston was the northern limit. The storm was practically coiuined to the coast, and extended r;o further north in this state than l'eekskill and Ilaverstraw. It started as a comparatively harmless affair down in Texas. At 7 o'clock on Saturday morning its center was in Alabama, while the entire gulf was deluged with rain. By S o'clock on Saturday night the storm center had jumped up'to the neighborhood of Capellatteras, with a lively wind coming down to meet it from the centre of high barom etric pressure to the northeast. The storm slid up from Cape ITatteras un tier cover ox uarKutss <tu uguuuug speed, and was upon us before the signal service folks were ready for it. Philadelphia caught it early in the " evening, and the advance guard came to us in the rain which began at 10.45 p. m. The mercury fell, and snow began just before midnight, "when the temperature was just a degree or two above freezing. That was what played havoc. The snow had come down through an upper statum of cold air. The liakes -took on their most clinging nature when they got down near the . earth in a warmer temperature. Everything was wet with the rain, and the nnkcs flnncr to whatever they touched. This condition of things kept up until 10 o'clock Sunday morning, with the snow coming down continuously and the mercury trembling around the freezing point. The poles began to go down when the wind freshened from the Xorth. through the early morning hours. At 4 o'clock a.m.it was blowing a thirty-five-mile blast. The-storm centre, though, had already whipped to the northeast, and now it is out of the grip of the civil service men somewhere oil* Halifax. It was such a storm as the telegraph companies have not been called upon to _ combat in ten years. Old telegraph ??^ hands say that there has been nothinsr like it since the 'famous sleet stc :m of Sunday, Jan. 23.1881. just ten years ago ; almost to a day, when the telegraph ! lines all through the east were paralyzed. At 11 o'clock Sunday night only one dispatch had reached the Sun ollice from its hundreds of telegraphic correspondents through the country. This dispatch came from Scranton by way of Chicago. The correspondent said the only wire working from Scranton con: nected with Chicago. Of the-scores-of v^ wires between Chicago and Xew York one was in working order, and the .Scranton item readied the Sun by this roundabout route. The land connections of the cable service were almost wholly out of order, though a few words* were occasionally received. With all the wreck and tangle there won- only two persons reported injured. .Mrs. Catherine McCormack was cut about lit? face, hands and neck by falli injy wires. .John J.
