The Senate on Tuesday by a vote of 33 to 32, refused Matthew 8. Quay a seat in that body on the appointment of the Governor of Pennsylvania. The entire time of the Senate was devoted to debate upon the question, many of the greatest lawyers and orators in the body delivering speeches. As the day’s session wore oh and the hour for the final vote, approached the galleries gradually filled until they were througed with multitudes, while other multitudes were unable to gain admission. The great throng listened with deep attention to the brilliant argument of Mr. Spooner in favor of the seating of the former Pennsyivauii| Senator and to the dramatic and fiery eloquence of Mr. Daniel. As the big dock opposite the President pro tempore indicated 4 o’clock there was a hush in the chamber. Mr. Frye, in the ehair, announced that the hour for the final vote had arrived and that the question was the pending motion of Mr. Chandler to strike out of the resolution declaring Mr. Quay not to be entitled to a seat the word “not.” Senators through- : out the chamber eagerly followed the roll call, for all knew the vote would be close. The first sensation was caused by the failure of Mr. Pettigrew of South Dakota to answer to his name, although he was in his seat. When Mr. Vest’s name was called he voted “No” iu a clear, distinct voice, thus dnshing the last hope of the friends of Mr. Quay, who had expected confidently that the distinguished Missourian would vote for his long-time personal friend. In perfect silence it was annonuced that the Senate had denied Mr. Quay the seat which he has sought for some months past. The following Republican Senators voted against the resolution: Bard, Burrows, Hale, Hawley, Mcßride, McCumber, McMillan, Platt (Conn.), Proctor, Quarles, Ross, Simon, Teller and Wellington.
