Ajril 14 -At the rnd of to-day's session of the Senate the occupant of tbe galleries returned to their home and hotels werjr and disappointed. For six hours tbey bad locked and listened, and no Senator bedcslledsnothere coward or a liar. The stormy session of yesterday had been followed by elcbat of altnbnt unendurable dullness.

At the ifu1rt Mr. Morgan, of Alatcma, took the floor, aad one' glance at the ammunition on hli dk wan enough for many Senators, who at once (ought more congenial surrounding. 'The Senator from Alaltama talked inr three hours, and in that time touched upon every phase of the debut whii' has continued since the Democrat first refused to allow the majority to govern. Mr. Morgan is a phenomenon.

He teems against time. "When be, is on his feet pn. fills page after the Congretriomnl Jiecord with- apparent effort, and bis re- facility baa been the subject of many a jok in the chamber. After he has ojrf-nod the sluice gates of his! rhetoric he lie- comes oblivious of the flight of time. Senators inr.v come and Senators may go, but his tongwj seems capable of running on forever.

A very monotonous delivery works to his disadvantage, for his remarks, so unattractive while he is making them, produce upon the reader who reviews them after they have been than those of Freeman, Attorney-General for the Post -Office epsrtnient, who renderbd a decision holding that under a recent act of Congress afTecting postal regulations such matUr was unmaila-tle. It is the intention ot the Postmaster-General, in issuing this order, to endeavor to protect, as far as practicable, American authors and publishers from unfair foreizn com petition by excluding foreign reprints of American bookK from the mails.

Morgan bad decMr-d to sit down, Mr. Brown, 'of Georgia, arose and untied a roll of, manuscript which he had lieen affec tionately guarding for three or four days. As toon as he had begun, some of the atent Sen ators returned. The burden of Mr. Browns kpcoch was a comparison between the re strictions upon suffrage in the South and legal limitations of suffrage which exbt in New-r'nland.

the controversy being upon questions wblcb had alrearty tn talked todeam." Mr. Pawcs dfslred to adjourn until Monliy. but Democrat! opposed him. A roll-call showed that there was uut a quorum, and it was not until after a call of the Senate had Iteen made that Mr. Pa wet was able to carry his point.

A Tumor was circulated to-day to the effect that a Republican caucus had been called for Saturday, and it was said tbr.t at that caucus the importance of taking action upon some of the resident nominations would oe consul (red. Republican Senntors assert fhts evening that no caucus had been called, and that there i 1 ir. I no necessity lor miiinp one. air. imwrn, who has been ennductinz the debate upon til Republican side, said that no such movement had been made, and added that the Republican rtrotrmnime had been so plainly 1 lid out and the Republican! determination so strontiv emphaized, that there was no occasion tor further consultation.

It is plain to all observers that the Republicans cannot recede from their position without eating their words tnd admitting that their repeated assertions lend arguments upon the floor of the Senate buen insincere aud devoid of any real 'meamnsr. Itisaeain said that Mr. Conkling will ex plain his position in regard to the nomination or judge Houeruon in an elaborate sprocn in open Senate. This is a rumor which probably based upon statements that Mr. Conkling will, Ijefore long, contribute a -speech to the delate now going on.

In all these weeks of talk he Has said nothing. He has. paid very little attention to the remarks of others, but baa busied him felt while in his seat, in reading end answering letters or in earnest conversation with his friend. -There js reason to be lieve that he will soon say something upon the nemlinc onestion." whii is a verv rom- srehentiive phrase. It will be easy for him to us from the prominent subjw ts of debate to the President's nominations ami his attitude toward them, but it is not believed that any ne has been authorized by him to say that he will do so.

Mr. Sherman win enter the lists again, and klr. Edmunds, whose voice has not been hs ird a the benata since the last session, will express bis views. The assurance that these and ether reinforcements are at hand, must be very Mtisfactory to the two Senators from Masaa-rbunetts, who have for so long borne the brunt rf the neat, occasionally assisted oy Messrs.

C. Gar rett, President of the Citizens' Committer of One Hundred, accompanied by 26 members of that com mittee, visited this city to-day and presented be fore the members of the Legislature, their reasons why the bill which abolishes the office of Receiver of Delinquent Taxes In Philadelphia and imppses the duties thereof on the Receiver of Taxes should pass. Mr. Donohue, the Receiver of Taxes, was here also, and presented his side of the case. Uf opened the discussion and made a etror.g show ing of the merits of the system of cftllectinz de- liuquent taxes now in force.

According to hii Htatement. under the old system the losses to the city hy delinquencies were enormous. In 18T0 the separate office of Collector of Lellnnuint Taxes was created, since which time the deltaqnencies had been gradnally reduced bv the enactment of laws as the needs of the'offiVe were discovered, until at present the system worked cerlect- ly. I'nder the old system the annual loss by delinquencies was 7 per cent, of tho entire tST lew nnrier the nresenf srstem th Imu from this cause was not ovei three-eighths of 1 per cent, oa tne tax levy, ine cost or collection came on tne delinquent, and not from the taxes due the city. The emoluments of the office hud been ereat ly exaggerated they had been placed as hlidi as per y-ar.

while they really did r.otaverace In excess of 540.000 annually. The office resulted In the turning into the City Treasury of hundred of thouhands of dollars which would not otherwise reach it or be collected. T. nder the present iys-tem the total cost of collecting, including the fees of the Receiver of Delinquent Taxes and deputies. was about 11 ucr cent.

The pendiag bill will make the cost not less than 15 per a portion of which would come out of the City Treasury. No charges were made against the administration of the office. the soie complaint being the enormous fees received ny me collector. The enormous fees were the re mit of tbe thorough manner In which his duties were The nystem had been in process of perfection for S3 years, and to get it aside now would eotai: great loss on tbe city, resides helng a stigma on lhe4ncumhent, who would be legislated out of ofEte. He had been in tha Tax Office 21 year, originated the bill of 187D, and was proud of it.

Severul questions were asked Mr. Donohne, to which he respoaded in a clear, cocc.ee manner. Kndoinh Hlankenhurg was tbe first sneaker on behalf of the committee. Mr. Blankenburg had not uttered one dozen kentences bet ore it became evident that, in putting him forward as its champion, the committee had made an unfortunate se lection.

He was followed by Mr. John Field for the committee.

Mr. Field speech was as barren of facts or arguments as was that of Mr. Ulankenburg. and did not increase the number of friends of the bill. Mr.

J. C. heaves made a speech also in advocacy of the bill. The burden of the remarks of the three gentlemen was that the people in tbe Spring campaign hud made the repeal of this bill an Usue, and now demanded mat it be repealed. At tne conclusion or tne addresses.

Representa tives Tyler, ot urawrord; woire. or I nlon. and others made speeches defending tbe Legislature from the unjust aspersions which had been cast upon It by the reform element and press ot Philadelphia and the Slate, alter which the meeting adjourned. The- opinion was freely expressed that the Committee of One Hundred had made a great mistake in coming here to oppose their rhetoric and vague ssertion against the statements of a man who came armed with facts and figures, and who knew what he was talking about, as did Mr. Donohue.

The impression prevailed that tbe friends of the bill were less numerous nowthan they were this morning, the offensive manners nnd language of its advocates having antagonized members who were favorably uisposeu kuwuru ii dr. a i Conipan over I ofce Company that Government it Tfff 1SDTCTED MCTKSTE OFFICERS.

Baltimore, April 14. The case of M8 Mary A. Murray cgatnst Postmaster E. B. Tyler, of Baltimore, for SCO.ono damages for Indecent assault was concluded to-day in tbe Howard County Circuit Court, at Elliott City.

The Juror whose sickness yesterday t-aused an early adjournment of the court had recovered, and was In his place to-day. The arguments of counsel were continued and com pleted. At 12:40 tbe case was given to tbe Jury, which, after three hours' deliberation, returned and gave a verdict of to MissJIurray. Three jurors were in tavor ot giving ju.oou damaces. two In favor of $15,000, three In favor of S10.000, and the others were for smaller amounts.

The suit has excited more attention than any that hart Iten tried in Maryland for some time. This has been particularly the case among Republicans, owing to the fact that Post muter Tyler has made himself particularly obnoxious to one wing of the party, and to the general belief that, if a verdict wr.s found against him. he would bu compelled to retire from the Postmastershlp. There was a large attendance all through the trial, which has con tinued since Tuesdav morning last, and the friends of loth litigants showed equal satisfaction and dejection, respectively, over the verdict. Postmaster Tyler will probably carry tbe case to the Court of Appeals, on the ground that be is not a resident of this city, where the caie was originally brought.

London, April 14.

France will, therefore, probably tak precautions against incursions by the Kroumirs, and chastise them if they resume their depredations; and instead of wasting time and men in fighting the Kroumirs she will enter Tunis by the coast and occupy Golctta and other points, and summon the Bey to sign a convention, leaving the autonomy of Tunis intact, while establishing the supremacy of France.

It is only a short tim ago that attention, was directed by an editorial paragraph in Tax Tntra to the entirely uii- ssary Mil Introduced by Sir. Brodakyl which propose to increase expense in the, City of New-York by providing certain things for the Coroners which they hare heretofore managed to exist without having.

Starting off with the Idea that the records-of tbe Coroners' office are-not properly kept, the bill assumed to be "An act to provide for the prea-ervatioa ot. the records of th Coroners' office the City and Oounty of New-York." Down at -the end of this section appeared a provision for the appointment lot a jj clerk at a salary of 1,500, and -in third Section the Cosmaatasionera of the Sinking Fund aredirerted to rent offices for the Coroners at the City Hall, at an expense of $3,000 year, and to furnish at 12,000. There must be some extraordinary anxiety for tbe passage of this bill. Tbe.Tote on it to-day showed thatsome-eoscdng had been done for it, and that there waa Indifference as to whether or not-ita-adoption Imposed anTrn-necessary burden, upon tbe City. Tbe Cities Committee reported the bill favorably, Mr.

'o reason was riven for this rise of ftl.000. It waa not suggested by the Coroners' office lobby which has been here that the saiar-v waa of any consequence Ail that they sought waa to "preserve tbe records." Mr.

Carpenter, ta voting, said he had been in favor of the bill, 'but with the amendment which had beea adopted carelessly he waa opposed to it, and led So." Mr. Hamilton said the bill prosed aa increase in the expenses of a department where the expenses were already too hich. It seemed to him entirwJv uncalled for that this additional expense should be saddled upon tax-payers. Mr. Skinner said that no reasons had been given for increasing the expenses of the office.
