J?atertulning tho high pomonal regird that ho did for both tho lato prosidemt sod Ma ouooossor, Senator MoLaurin said it would lo uonooonairy for him to bay that neithor would ?toop to so ig noMo aa no?). It was truo that an un fortunate oondition of affairs had oxiut od in hie Btuto, nod that ho had recom mended good men for ofliao, booauso ho did not deoiro to nco a repetition of tho horn bio affair at Like City, whon a ne gro postmnrter had boon burned to doath.

Senator MoLaurin pcid a high tributo to tho lato Presi dent, whom ho oharantorizod aa a broad nUtosman and a Ohrietian gentloman." Senator MoLaurin (?aid that ho had no pfltoial kuowlodgo of tho ohargo brought against him by his Doraooratio oollot?gucs, hut that from tho newspa pers ho understood that tho prinoipal onargos woro that ho had not opposed tho ratification of tho treaty of poaoo with Spam; that ho had upheld tho Ad ministration in its tfforts to rostoro or der in tho Philippines, and to that ond had voted fer an inoroaso in tho stand ing ttriny, and that Lo was in favor of tho upbuilding cf tho Amerioan mer chant m ?vino.

With bitter words Senator MoLaurin then proceedod to oxooriato tho now Jo.viora of ?ho Democracy, who, lo said, had guided tho party through its do struouou during tho last six year?, atd who wore trying lo omoify thoso who would seek to draw tho Domooratio par ty b&ok io itu old allogitumo.

WHAT SENATOR JONES SAYS. When Sonator MeLiurin took hit ?oat Senator Jones, of Arkansas, toot tho il. or to m.-Lo a uta oin nt. Some of tho ntatomonts ruado by Sonator Mo lif.urin, Sonator Jones said, ho oonsid orcd a rcflootion upon himeolf, and he desired to offer a slatomont concernir? tho incident to whioh Sonator MoLau rin had rcforrod. At tho ox(ra sossion of tho Sonato last spring ho hrd bcou at'kod by tho oauous oihoer for tho ' it of Senator A who woro to bo summ d to a oauius, and Senator MoLaur.i.'f namo hoing montioned ho (Jonos) hnc tsaid ho would himself seo tho Senatoi .from South Oarolina.

Ho repli?e that his relations with the party won such that ho thought it would bo om barrassing for him to outer tho Domo oratio oauous. I thon said to him 'You do not wish to ho invited thon? and ho rppliod, 'Certainly.' " , . "As tb tho charge of ulterior motiv? on my part," continued Sonator Jonos "I am content to treat it with tho eon tempt it do?cvfos. lt is a notoriou faot, whioh everyone scorns to under stand, oxoopt tho Sonator from Soutl Carolina, that thoro has beon no Domo oratio oauous at this session of Congross Ihavo no hesitanoy, however, ia sayin that in a rcoont oonvorsation with i Iloading member on thoothor sido I sail to him that I did not think tho Darno oratio oauous oould undortako to provid co </J mi UGO atsignmonts for tho Sonato from South Carolina." SENATOR TILLMAN'S REPLY. Sonator Tillman, of South Carolina was on his feet whon Sanaior Jone oonoludod. In his oharaotoristio wa ho announced that whilo his uaoo ha not been mentioned ho roaWzid that h was tho oauso of it all. Ho said h would not at this timo make an ox ten ci ed reply. Briefly, then, ho roviowo tho controversy between himsolf an Sonator MoLaurin, which lcd to th joint toi d >r of thoir ros?glati?os to th (iovornor of South 0<trohua last pprinjj and told of tho Governor's suggcslic that tho resignations be wiihdrawr Senator Tillman paid ho eon tended the tho Govornor was simply "a box int whioh v/o had put lot tc v.* for tho Legi laturo," and that they could not und thoir aot, but Senator MoLaurin h* hastonod to with dratf his lottor. Sei ator Tillman said ho had cxamlnod tl rooord, and of about two hundred oasi in tho hia tory of tho Government, whoi Sonators had rosigood, Sonator M Lam in or j >yod tho onviablo distinotio of hoir g tho only ono who had wit! drawn bia ra&ignation after offering i As to Sonator MoLaurin's ohargo i ooaspiraoy to huroiliato him by barrir him irom tho Deraooratio oauous, Son tor flllo.an callod attontlon to tho.fa that ho had not been in Wa&hlr-gtt during tho extra aession of tho Sena last spring.

"I thought I was justified in sariog what I.did, said ho "I accept.hin dteolaimer. "I disclaim nothing," roorled Sena-; tor Jonea, without riaiog from hi? scat. "I simply ojntradioted " "I thank tho Sonator for hin courte-.' cy," obcoived Senator MoLauriu bow ing With naook deforonoo, aa ho took his aoat. BKNATOlt HOAR'? POINT. Senator Hoar, of Mnaaabhuaotra, ad dressed himself aa to tho legality of tho r."Bignationa whioh tho nov th Caro lina Sonators had aont to tho Governor of their Stato. Ho declared that thc resignation of n legislativo offioo vacated tho .offioo at onoo, and that ho doubted whothor Buch resignations could bo Withdrawn. Ho ' aaid that Speaker; Blaino had ao hold upon ono occasion! in tho JUMBO contiary to tho English notion that logidlativo oftico oannot bo resigned. Ho enid that a man oould nob bo kopt in effioo against his will, and raised a laugh by observing that, in hia opinion, neither of tho South Carolina Sonatora had a right to addrc?a tho Sonato if- tho statomonta mado by Sonator Tillman woro ocrroot. In roply to thia sally Senator Till man said ho had himself boen of tho carno opinion,- although hoji/aa not a lawyer, and in withdrawing his fcsign'a tion from tho Governor ofit,bb St.-.to ho had added that ho withdrew it "if it was lawful to do He suggoatod that the judiciary committee should look into tho niattor, aa ho should en Joy nothing no much aa washing tho dirty Huon at homo. Jumping lo bia foot Sonator MoLaur in .deoUrcd, in ringing stenos, that ho was ready to meot pia b?l?caguo afc any plaoo or at any timo, for tHo dioouasipiJ of tho isauee between them.
