Senator* Lamar and Conkling. The Washington Correspondent of lite .Yews finU Courier, gives lite following graphic account of a see tie in lite Senate of tlic United Stated between Senator Latnnr, of Mississippi arrd liully Conkling of New York. I.atnar is not tlie first Senator to eal) Conkling n liar; Senators Cordon and Ihtrnsidc made Ii'tit swallow tlic same pill ; lint it don't hot tier liitn in the least. Casting such indignities upon Conkling is like throwing water upon a duck's buck. Washington, Ctii*. l'j.?Senator Conkling was in his worst humor last night and uttuckod (lie Democratic senators in his bitterest viin. Their ioti'pieuous forbearance cuibohlcne4 hint of course, and lie finally said a little too much, and said it to ilie wrong man. I suppose your readers have been already fully informed as to what took place between Mr. hamar and himself, and there is but little to be added, as tho passage-alarms was as short as it was pointed. It was aj parent to everybody for some time that ruorin.r. was iikkwims as iiiiisc w iki Knew i "nnkting, knew Unit lie would not stop until lie 111 personally insulted some senator on tlie other side. Ho selected Mr. Lamar and charged him with having acted in had i lit It in bringing in his Mississippi levee bill and then voting against adjournment, the charge being in effect that I.uuiar Ifud brought up that bill tor the purpose of prjy^ytiiy? .the Republicans from discussing the army bill, and of stealing that much of the time allotted to its consideration. MR. LAMAR nrosc t ) reply and began so quietly that no one, and least of a'l t'onkling. suspected what was coining, lie first made si brief statement as to his position regarding the levee bill and then slowly and deliberately said, in a voice that was lieant all over the hall, "If the Senator from New York charges me with tind faith, or implied bad faith against him, I say to liitu that lie is guilty of a falsehood, and I repel it with all the contempt I feel for its uutlioi ! COX KM NO was so astounded that lie could not speak for setae moments, but presently arose, white and trembling, and in an excited manner finally managed to say that "if he unileratuvd Mr. Lamar to impute a falsehood to him, nothing ex ccpt 1110 mci oi litis being the Senate would prevent Iitin from denouncing Mr. Lamar ns h blackguard, a coward and a liar." Mr. I.ninar deliberately and quietly replied : "I have only to say to the senator from New York that he understood toe correctly. 1 said precisely the word he understood inc to say. .Sly language was harsh and unpuiliauientary. and I beg pardon of the Senate for it, but it was such language as no good man would deserve and no brave tnaii would wear." wiiat wii.i. nr. no adoi't it? This clinched the matter, ami all eyes were turned upon Colliding again, lie had gone as far as a mini who is neither good nor brave dared to go, and his next nnd only remark was to nsk the Chair, "What is the question before the Senate?" and there the mutter ended for the time, ami probably for all time. It is probable tliat Mr. Lamar will be strongly condemned for bis words by the Radical press, and it is possible that some of the Democratic ( oners may ioin i? ibe censure and under ori.11. * c.i i mm;:, i,-es u . ig!

Logan, Itlainc and Conkling have successively put themselves in the way of a sound kicking from one or other of the 'Ifrigndiers," for the single purpose apparently of exhibiting their bruises afterward in order to make capital for the party. Next to a bloody shirt they highly esteem a muddy coat-tail as evidence of the temper of a solid Southerner. Ani.iTtos.vi. 1'AitTict'i.vns or tiik Ly.wiiixu or Mnoin:.?The Charlotte Observer't correspondent says: "When Moore was first arrested lie bitterly denied his guilt and pleaded for mercy, but towards meriting he grew sullen, refusing to answer questions, or replying to all inquiry by declaring his innocence. Owing in part, doubtless, to his conduct the crowd determined to finish the i*xceiiiion as speedily as possible, and agreed upon S o'clock, which was the hour the execution took place. Among the crowd which collected to witness the execution were two sisters of Fannie 11 eat on and the wife and children of Moore. The tatter were weeping and imploring nicrcy ; the prisoner never shed a tear, and showed little or no emotion. Some one asked one of the sDters of the dead woman how they should kill him.? She said she would lirst talk with the prisoner, and accordingly began to n-k him questions, lie refused to answer all inquiries, us before, and as the woman walked away she gave a signal to hang him. A man, who it was said was from Yorkville, n<4tcd for the privilege of speaking in behalf of the prisoner, but this was refused. The work of the execution was delegated to two of the oldest men in the party. A rope was adjusted around his neck and hung over a limb. The prisoner stood in a buggy. In lite minutes after the sister of the dead woman gave the signal, the two gray haired men pushed the buggy from underneath Moore and his hody swung a IT. lie died of strangulation.
