NEHRINGTHE END Last Act in the Senatorial Farce at Harrisburg. Goneral simply unanswerable, notwithstanding Judge Orvis' sarcastic declaration to the contrary.discussed executive business. "Why is not tho removal of officers by and with the advice aud consent of the Senate executive business?" ho asked.

Ho noxt took up tbo assertion that an office is property and claimed that public office is not property, but a trust conferred for tho benolit of tho public. Ho combatted the assertion that incompetency only arose from insanity or other mental or physical incapacity. Ho quoted from Biddlo to show that this eluuso was intendod to reach derelict officers. Derelict," he explained, meant carolcss, negligent, unfaithful. These officers had beeu guilty of such uegli-genco, carelessness, unfaithfulness as would have called for their dismissal from private service with no violation of vested rights.

m'crkary's attempt at humor. Lloyd closed at 3. 45 and recn took the floor and read an argument sustaining the right of the Senate to assume jurisdiction in this case. His speech only occupied ten minutes, and McCreary arose to explain his relation to the Gilbrido case. As chairman of tho judiciary general committed, ho had a grievance agaiust the Attorney General for repeating tho names of tho committee, and retaliated by reading the list of Attorneys General with W.

U. Hcnsel at the foot. His humorous effort didn't raise a laugh, and ho then took up the case of Gilbrido and said that the committee found that ho was disqualified and unfit for the performance of the duties without requlrlnfforenforclnc anyquarterly returns to theCommonwealth.and such pay ruents as are directed by the sild act, and without aoyaecouut or settlement, as provided bv the said act, being sent to the Attorney General for collection, and without 1 literal or penalties being added and without forfeiture or abatement of commissions, and inconsequence of these fuels ft million of dol lars or more have boon lost, "4.

CHAIRMAN PENROSE'S RULING A Preamble ami Resolution Offered by the Lender of (ho Democratic Party li Declared Out of Order 1y the Kcpubltcan I'reuidlng In a Decision Evidently Prepared for the Occasion The Faroe Likely to Wind Tp To-Day. ipertnl Teltgrnm to TtiR Time. ILvRitisitL-KG, November 10.

To-day tbo curtain was rung up on the last act in tho Senatorial farco, entitled "Tho Constitution Unconstitutional," now being enacted iu the Sonato chamber. Tomorrow it will probably ring down on tho lust scene, when less than thirty Senators will voto themselves wiser than the lIKi men composing tho last Constitutional Conven tion, und doclaro by their act that tho latter uiu uot Know what thev meant to do, nnd that the Knglish language does not mean what it says. It has been evident for somo time that the leading Republican Senators wanted to avoid any action upon the facts shown by the examination of Iioyer and McCamant. In short, that they wanted to avoid all public mention of theso facts, if possible. This intention was mure than confirmed tb-day when the preamble and resolution offered by lioss, which 'recited the facta in the Boyer case, were ruled out on a point of order by a written opinion evidently carefully prepared before the session began.

They were bound nut oven to allow an argument in which the facts could bo presented incidentally. In other words, they had rather voto the Constitution unconstitutional than voto that Jioycr and McCamant have not performed their sworn duty as officials. JiOSs' CHEAT SPEKCH. Koss made the strong spoech of the day on the Democratic side, although tho speeches of Lioyd and Uapsher were able arguments for tho Constitution as it is. The speech of Gobin, which was cut in tho middle by adjournment, was the only spcoch worthy of note on the Republican side.

Its chief features were his assumption, by inference at least, that the clause in tho Constitution of Pennsylvania providing for removal by address was a violation of the right of trial by jury guaranteed by the Constitution of tho United States to every citizen, except those against whom charges of impeachment aro brought, aud his attack on the Attorney General for misquoting or suppressing essential portions of decisions and opinions quoted in his argument. His reference to tho Attorney General's quotations of tho New York cases showed that li had not read what the Attorney General did say, as the latter declared that in that State "it has been constitutionally provided that the Legislature shall make provision for removal for misconduct or malfeasant1, in ofiice as to all officers except judicial officers or those whoso powers and duties are not legal or legislative and who shall bo elected at a general election, and also for supplying vacancies caused by such re movals. BOYER WAXTS EXONERATION. Further on in his argument ho reforred counsel to the Constitution of the State of New York, article 5, section 4 articlo 10, section 7, and revised statutes of New York, pages 373 and 374. It is evident that so far as Gobin is con cerned he does not propose to go boyond the question of jurisdiction to shield Boyer.

Boyer wants exoneration, however, and it is nnderstood to-night that efforts are being made to induce, a tow Democrats to vote for a resolution declaring that the investigation has not shown him to have done anything worthy of removal. This means, if it is true, that leading Republican Senators like Gobin do not propose to handle tho whitewash brush directly, and that so far as they are concerned Boyer must be satisfied to escape on the non-jurisdiction plea. The wnuewasn resolution was down on the programme, but may have to be abandoned for this reason. The Governor will send to tho Senate tomorrow the names of tho officials appointed by him since the adjournment of the Legislature. O.

E. M. THE JURISDICTION QUESTION. A Lively Debate In Which Several Senators Participate. Special Telegram to Tub Timks.

Hahkisbirg, November 10. When the Senate mot this morning the Lieutenant Governor was absent, and President Pro Tein. Gobin occupied the chair. The new Senator from Chester, Septimus E. Nivin, was present, and the oath of office was administered to him by Judge Simon-ton.

Shaploy, Orvisand Gilbert, of counsel for Boyer, wero present. Deputy Attorney General Stranahan sat at tho counsel table, aud was joiucd later by Attorney General Hcnsel. When the opening exercises wero concluded Gobin called Penrose to the chair and offered a preamble and resolution, after a sarcastic speech from Orris, in which, in the part of counsel for Iioyer, he declined to make further argument, on the ground that tho Attorney Goneral had made no argument on tho question of jurisdiction. Ross immediately offered a resolution as a substitute. As soon as the Ross resolution was read Gobin raised the point of order that the substitute was not germane to tbo resolution offered by him, us it con tai tied a summary of alleged facte shown by the investigation, whilo his resolution was solely a declaration of a legal proposition.

GOBIn'h POINT Hl'STAlNKD. Ross replied that a consideration of the facts might be necessary to a determination of tho law applicable to this case, but Presiding Officer Penrose did not think so and sustained Gobin's point of order in a written opinion, which had probably been prepared in advance in anticipation of tho point of order raised by Gobin. Rapsher followed, reading his argument from manuscript. His chief point was that nil tho learning and eloquence of tho lawyers had been devoted to proving that the last clause of section 4 of article 6 of the Constitution docs not mean what it says. Ho quoted from a decision of Judgo Green, of tho Supremo Court, showing that the Constitution provided three methods of removal.

All officers wero subject to the first, up-pointed officers to the second and elective officers to the third. When Rapsher took his scat there was somo hesitancy as to whether any further discussion should tako place. Gobin said he did not care to discuss the resolution at this time. Ross thought that those who offered the resolution should give some reason for it. Gobin then took tho floor and made an argument to show that to accept jurisdiction in tl.ia tvmiM k.

Two letters have been sent South from Jersey City re cently, purporting to be written by Miss Win nie Duvls. daughter of the late Jefferson Davis, begging for 11,000.

One was sent to xr. wuuam Morrow, of Nashville, and tho other to General Gordon, of Atlanta. Ga. There is little doubt but that they were written by Stoddard, the forger, who lies in tho Hudson County Jail, and who forged his way out of the Tennessee mines by a letter to the Governor asking for his pardon, purporting to tie Blgned by the State's Attorney, and a petition pretending to be signed by a lot of me lore most people of Tennessee. Superintendent of Police Smith received a letter from Dr.

Morrow enclosing a copy of tne note sent to him. Ho turned tho case over to Chief Murphy, who wrote to Dr. Morrow for tho original. A day or two later a friend of Miss Davis came from New York with tho note lo General Gordon. The General know the address of Mrs.

Davis and her daughter in Now York, and knew that they would not need to write to him for money, so ho nent thorn the lottor to put them on their guard. The letter tn Dr. Morrow requests that he nccept Mrs. Davis' note for 91,000, payable in nineLy days, and send draft or chock in re turn. The letter states that on account of trouble with the publishers of her husband's book Mrs.

Davis has been obliged to bring eon. loooiatn herpercentageofthesales. "in order to escane the mihltcitvof hotel life." the letter says, wo engaged quiet quarters luaaumirooi inis city, wnere wo are stopping somewhat incog." The letter is signed Winnie DaviB." "The reasons for connecting Stoddard with loo niiiurarc several and cumulative," said Chief Murnhv in an intnrvtew this morntntr. "In the first place the language Is Stoddard's. Ho often begins his letters with that wui-u ana ne usually closes with something about a 'gracious' repiy.

Then, again, whoever wrote the letters must nave Known Dr. Morrow, who Is a convict labor contractor in Tennessee, and who would know all about tiiat better than Stoddard? Besides that, when I detailed Detective Clos to watch he Post Office for an v-body asking for letters for Miss Winnie uavis ana round that nobody went for them I was sure that a timid accomplice had been frightened away. I had sent a dummy letter to her at No. Jil Ash street and nobody there knw anything ab-mt such a person.

Thomas. Hagan and Miller, the ma jority or me sub-committee, favored Schuet- zea Park. This site was also favored by jjirecior windrlm, who in a lengthy paper set forth its advantages. Mr. Flnletter presented a minority report.

Flnletter, Mr. Darrach said a bridge to carry the ptpos across tiie Schuylkill could be constructed at a cost of 8100,000. If the reservoir were located in West Park there would be for pipes alone to the clty'scredit. Mr. Jones interacted the remnrlr that th Schuetzen Hark ground and grouud about it wouia, in unie.

No consequential damages would follow. On the other hand, both the cost of ground and damages would be Incurred In taking SchueUen Park.

Director Windrlm was called on, but he said that he would not be ready to speak until he had considered the report of the opposition. Action on the matter was postponed for one week. SAW nni KILL THE CHILD. Story of a Terrible Crime Committed Near New Brunswick. Spec IaI TelflRrnui to Thb Time.

His tribute to Mr. Jefferson, coming aftor several sentences of charming banter as to how he had improved and developed Mr.

Jcflerson during their association, was a noble bit of eloquence and earnestly applauded. MR. MACVEAGH'S ELOQUENCE. Ex-Attorney General Wayne MacVeagh, at the request of the chairman, rose to propose the health ot the Mayor. After pome mischievous quizzing of the Mayor as to the results of the election, aud a supposed conversation with Mr.

He was glad to hear from the lips of their host, Mr. Young, that William Winter was with them in spirit that they might feel, as it were, the companionship and symnathv of that highly- gifted and noble-hearted gentleman the ono man in American literature to be re membered with Lamb. He know and do- scribed in detail with graceful eloquence wnat jir. winter nad done lor one very noar to him in Stratford-on-Avon, and how he had thrown tho spell of his genius over his young life to bo ever remembered. lor should Philadelphia nor any company of Philadelphians be chary in honor to Jcfler son.

He was one of our most distinguished sons, and in addition to the supreme honors ne nad won as the master oi comedy, his autobiography would bo romemborcd while we had a literature a noble book, sufficient in itself to have won Mr. Jefferson enduring fame in letters, did be not rejoice in the splendor of a fame which shone without dimming in tbe galaxy of dramatic art. After continuing in this vein for some timo in a speech which was heard with rapt at tention, Mr. MacVeagh came back to his theme, and in some graceful words of compliment to Mayor Stuart proposed bis health. Mr.

Young said that bo had no wish to throw his friends into dismay by asking for any more speeches, and so the talking ended. xae company broko iuto groups and the chat ran on for two hours. Mr. F. J.

Dreer showed a collection of famous autographs, mainly of actors since the time of Bet-terton and Garrick, with letters written by tho father and grandfather of Jeffer son. Mr. Droer also presented Mr. Jefferson with a series of theatrical portraits and showed an autograph letter from Junius Brutus Booth announcing the birth ot nis son, tho present Ldwm Booth, whilo he was performing at the Arch Street Thea tre. The company spent a good doal of time studying tho autographs and prints, in which Mr.

Jcflerson and Mr. Florence were deeply interested. Ono letter from tho father of Jefferson, which showed tho pres ence of poverty, cark and care, was read by the illustrious son with evident feeling, with his own thoughts doubtless as to what ho would give could it have been in his power, as it was so notably now, to havo lifted the sombre, deadening cloud from tho dear dead one's life.

GREETINGS FROM OLD FRIENDS. Mr. Young said that even so informal a company as this, which had come to pay honor to the eminent gentlemen on bis right and left, would be incomplete if those who were present did not bavo, as it were, a view of communion with those who were with them in spirit. He held iu his hand some letters which contained words that belonged to our friends. His Grace Archbishop Ryan recalled his pleasure at meeting Mr.

Flor ence in the West, and regretted that absence from the city on diocesan duties prevented attendance. Mr. Young read also a few lines of a letter from Mr. Winter a nume that meant a great deal to their guests, as it meant to all who knew tho grace and beauty of genius which has found recognition in two continents, air. Winter bad wished to come again to Phila delphia, to see dear old Joe, and perhaps to ramble with him in the place of his vouth.

Mr. Young said that ho had the honor of seeing Mr. Whitman a day or two later in tbo company of Sir trtwin Arnold a mem orable interview, the younger poet of the Old World, fresh with messages of recognition from Tennyson, doing homage to tbe poet of the Now World.

That in this interview Mr. Whitman had repeated his regret that be could not be with them.

Amid general applause Mr. Jefferson arose aud made an exquisite sjieech. It is impos sible to report the grace and touch of the master. Looking in the prime of health. his keen eye beaming out upon tho face of Mr.

Dreer, who sat opposite, with a quaint, half hesitating way, as if he were not quite sure that he knew what he was saying, and sayiug it all tho same, partly leaning on the table and throwing his eyes up in a half wondering way, bis speech was a master piecesanecdote and wit and gentle by-play, and a serious tone under it all. It was a great honor and great compliment, he said, that their host had paid them this distinguished company, something representative of what was best and worthiest in Philadelphia her Chief Magistrate, her high officials, men who have Berved the nation in great 09ees, the leaders of public opinion, theso Jf-ntlemen who ruled the great journals, orhers likewise of authority and eminence, those who were abscut as well as those who were present, for he felt that the letters read by Mr. Young came from friends present perhaps in the higher sense. Nor could he resist the thought, as he was coming into the room leaning on the arm of his Honor, tho Mayor, that there had been interviews between members of bis profession and Mayors which ended in tbe stocks. Then he continued in a rambling, good humored way quite impossible to repeat, bantering Mr.

Singerly on that gentleman's farming experiences, and telling of his own when a Holstein bull broke into his hot house and fed on the Hamburg grapes, which I must say," said Mr. Jefferson, "the bull greatly relished," and bow his neighbors came aud congratulated him upon his efforts to raise bulls under glass as a novel and daring experiment in farming. In this vein r. Jcflerson continued for some time, art, humor, wisdom and earnestness blended. Philadelphia was always dear to him, he said, and bad ever been kind; never kinder than now.

He spoke with affection of Mr. Florence, of this, their last season. Mr. Florence would carry the "Mighty Dollar" over the Union, and he might perhaps seek the shelter of tho Cats-kill Mountains aud look again for the village of Falling Waters. For the professional kindness ho was grateful aud ho knew he spoke tho sentiment of his colleague.

For personal kindness involved in this compliment he would again express his thanks. MR. FLORENCE'S RESPONSE. A Charming Tribute to HU Colleague and His Many Friends. When Mr.

Jefferson sat down tbero wore cries for Mr. Florence. The distinguished comedian looked in the best of health and was received with long continued applause. He said that he had been ruined by the 'mischief-making tendencies of a New York reporter who described him as tho best after-dinuer speaker in America. Whereas," continued Mr.

Florence, "I am the worst." Nor could ho. if he dared, venture to say much aftor what had been said with so much eloquence und feeling by his dear and honored friend, Mr. Jefferson. Ho felt with his friend tho great honor that bad been paid them. From this Mr.

Florence went off into a discursive talk about the stage; its influence on society its value as an educator; its mornl lessons, looking toward a higher aud nobler life.

Loxdon, November 10. A dispatch just received here from Per-nainbuco brings furthor alarming intelligence regarding the situation of affairs in Brazil. There is no doubt that the situation in Brazil arising out of tbe assumption of dictatorial powers by the late President of the Republic, Marshal Deodoro daronsoca, is rapidly approaching a point whore a resort to arms will bo necessary to establish the position of tho Dictator.

The dispatches of yesterday showed that there was a feeling of discontent prevailing everywhere throughout Brazil. The Republicans see in this last move of Da Fonsoca an attempt to override the authority vested in hira by the Constitution. So strong; has the opposition to Da Fonscca grown that yesterday it was announced that the important province of Rio Grando do Sul declared its independence. The dispatch just received shows that steps will have to ho immediately takon to prevent, if possible, tbe disintegration of the republic. The province of Grao Para has followed the example set by Rio Grande do Sul, and to-day it declared its independence.

AN IMPORTANT PROVINCE. Grao Para, or, as it is better known, Para, is one of tho most important provinces of Brazil. It is situated in the cxtrcmo north of the country. It contains square miles, and its population is estimated at ajU.ull souls, 10,000 of whom are supposed to be Indians. Tho capital of the province is Para, situated on tho right bank of tho Tocantins river.

Here aro located the Governor's palace, Cathedral, several churches, convents, barracks and numerous other public buildings. It is the great rubber port ot tho world, which it exports, in addition to the other products of the province, which consist of cotton, vanilla, annatto, dye woods, honey, wax and a great variety of other vegetable and animal products. The trade is mostly with Liverpool, London, Barbadoes, Cayenne and North American ports. The Tocantins, or Para river, is celebrated for its bore. The Tiver is really one of the mouths of the Amazon, and it is here that the bore is chiefly manifested, the tide rising to a great height iu a fow minutes before tho now and full moons, by a vast wave, fifteen feet in height, sometimes followed by three others, which enter tho estuary with great violence.

DICTATOR FONSECA TAKES ACTION'. The dispatch received this evening further states that it is expected that the indopeud-ence movement, which had its origin in tho province of Bio Grande do Sul and which has been promptly followed in Grao will bo followed by a similar duclara- S-wrt'Mjy tbe province of Bahia. Dictator da Fonscca is moving rapidly to suppress these attempts to set up separate governments, and he has ordered a warship to proceed without delay to Rio do Sul to tako such action as may be necessary to prevent the provincial authorities from carrying their declaration of independence into effect. It bchwves hira to move with alacrity, fcr already a man has been named in connec tion with the contemplated Presidency of i no yiuvmuw. iic is oaivurio jiaruuez, wno during tho last revolution was banished from tho country.

He was subsequently allowed to return, and he without doubt possesses greater political influence than any other man in the province. THE SITUATION VERY GRAVE. The situation, as may be judged from tho events which are rapidly crowding upon each other, is daily becoming more grave, and what tho result of the widespread discontent in Brazil will be can only be a matter ot conjecture. The Dictator might, perhaps, do more to establish the new order of things were it not for the fact that he is a sick man. Some reports have it that the disease from which he is sutleriug is cancer, which, if true, would necessarily prevent him from taking the field in person should resort to arms bo necessary.

That he will take vigorous measures to suppress these latest revolts against his authority is not doubted by those who are acquainted with tbe personal characteristics of tho man. The naval forces of Brazil. comprise 5,790 officers and men. There are five naval arsenalsone each at Rio Janeiro, Para, Per-nambuco, Bahia and LadariodeMatto rosso. Of course, in tbe event of hostilities there would be a chance that the arsenals at Para and Bahia, the capitals of two of the revolting provinces, would fall into tbe hands of the provincial authorities and tbe ammunition, etc in them would be used against the Dictator's forces.

brazil's naval force. The navy includes four sea-going and six coast-defense armor dads, five first-class, sir second-class and three third-class torpedo boats, besides a torpedo sehoolship. Of unprotected vessels there are two first-class aud two second-class cruisers, two training corvettes, nino screw gunboats, eight paddle gunboats, two transports, one battery tender and a number of auxiliary steamers and other vessels. Tho two most powerful vessels are the Ria- chuelo (5,700 tons displacement! and a smaller vessel, the Aquidaban. Both vessels are protected by a belt of steel-faced armor, having a maximum thickness -of eleven inches.

Lara vessel has two turrets protected by ten-inch armor. Tho principal armament consists of four twenty-ton breach-loading guns, carried in the turrets, aud an auxiliary armament of six in one ship, and in tneoiner iour seventy-pounders and ina-chino guns. Both vessels are built of steel, sheathed with wood nnd metal. Thev have a good sail-spread and aro capable of keeping the sea for long periods. Tho Selimoes and Javari are two poworful doublo-turrctod ships of light draught, suitable for coast do-fonso or river service.

They each carry four ton-inch Whitworth guns. 1 he army on a war footing in 1800 con. sisted of 26,617 men, hut it was the intention of the government to reorganize its forces, and, consequently, tbe exact number of men effective now is not known.

Ho owned it cosy littlo dwelling near the railroad station, aud spent most of his tiuio eithor acting as guide for city sportsmen or hauling tbs seine, and Mrs. Warner, during the summer season, usually ran an ice cream saloon in her parlors. Their daughter, Inez, a beautiful girl of lo', was admired by the whole neighborhood. Tho son, Harvey, 17 years old, for some timo has beeu employed as a clerk by Jloyor Smith, Sag Harbor.

Last sprine Nicholas had an offer from a fishing firm in Bath, to captain a fishing smack for tho summer. Nicholas accepted it. Ho found it impossible to get homo until a few days ago. What he found on his roturn home is told below At the ice cream parlordnring the summer was one very frequent caller, Tim Jacobs, a young man about 30 years old, a painter, liv ing at Pond-Quoguo, L. I.

People noticed the frequent visits of Jacobs to the Warner house, and soon quite a talk was occasioned when it was found that it was not tba daughter Tim was alter but the mother. One morning, about September 1, the residents wero surprised to see Tint and Warner board a train, bag and baggage, for New York. The daughter, Inez, continued to run tho business, and the elopement waa the talk of tho town. NICHOLAS KKPT IJT IGNORANCE. Not one word of his wife's unfaithfulness had ever reached Nicholas.

Ho continued to receive letters from Inez and his who. It is said Iuez was in the deal and signed her mother's name to the letters. Last Saturday was the day set by Nicholas to return home. What was his surpriso to find that his wife had been gono two months with another man. Nicholas was heart-broken.

Tho neighbors extended their sympathy, and ha was finally led to believe that it was all for the best. Nicholas was consoled by tho thought that at least Inez was left to line for him. Ha handed over to his daughter his well-filled purso and told hor she should never want. Sunday Inez said sho would go to a ncigh- oor io see aooul a new cloak and would return in a few moments, instead she walked to Quogue and boarded the afternoon train, for New York. There, it is presumed, sha joined her mother.

Nicholas heard ot hij daughter's departure about an hour after the train left (Jtioguc. Uo returned to his entirely deserted home and spent tho night in crying over his troubles.

Tbo Senate, which had been somewhat disorderly, be came at oneo silent Wo aro not here to make a section of tbo Constitution of Penn sylvania.

We are here to obey the Consti tution," bo said, and this declaration was the basis of his speoch. argumentative and logical. Ho held that the Scnato was constitutionally in session to perform a constitutional duty executive business. Ho then analyzed articlo of tho Constitution, showing that it applied to impeachment and removal the first threo sections to impeach ment, the fourth to removal. Ho held that the Senato could address the Governor asking for removal of unworthy officers whether in regular or special session'.

Wo aro here," ho said, 'of this there can bo no doubt, and wo aro constitutionally entitled to exercise this power at this time, and to my mind it is as clear as the blaze of tho noonday sun that two-thirds of tho Senate may address the Governor for the removal of these accused officers." He then said that an officer convicted of an infamous crime in the courts could not bo removed from office except by the address of two-thirds of tho Senate. His last point was that for any negligence phort of an indictable or impeachable offense no other remedy than removal by address He also claimed that the Governor was in-v isted with right of choice as to which rem-ecy he would make. He closed by saying: Wo are hero to enforce the Constitution regardless of partisan prejudice or of personal sympathy. To declare that we have no jurisdiction under this clause is to render it a dead letter, to practically destroy and wipe it out of the Constitution." GOBIN REPLIES. Gobin began to speak at 5.15.

His argument practically was to the effect that the right of removal by address was contrary to the Constitution of the United States. He made an attack on tho Attorney General, whom he charged with misquoting Judgo Black, tho revised statutes of New York aud three different decisions of the Supremo Court of Pennsylvania. He was set right by Senator Rapsher in one of tbe cases, but be was especially severe in his charge that tho reference to the New York practice was misleading. He quoted Judgo Black to show that tuo Constitution ot tho united States granted every man a right to trial by jury tor uny on en so witn which he might bo charged. At b' o'clock he gave way for a motion to adjourn until to-morrow at 10 o'clock.

Ho will then finish his argument and will be followed by Packer and Robbins, and perhaps by Osborne and Robinson, of the Republican side, and by Hall and Herring, Democrats, if they are present. There is every reason to-night to expect that the session to close to-morrow. The Republicans were without the necessary twenty-six votes to pass the resolution until tho middlo of the aftornoon. when Newell returned.
