Ajuong the bilU introduoed and referred was one bj Mr. Call, to provide for the erection of a government warehouse; and docks at Key West, Fla. , in place! of those destroyed bv fire. In introduc ing the bill: Mr. Call said the work was; ofthe utniost immediate necessity, aa the recent fire bad destroyed the former warehouse and docks and almost the whole city Of Key West., ? ; f Mr. Piatt then took the floor on his. eiolationirelaiing to open executive! Sessions. . ,The question was a political one, he said, but in no sense a question! off party polities. It rose above all. party qaesuons. It was the most im portant question of administrative re forja to wbich the Senate could at this; time devote its attention. Mr. Piatt read the Senate rules in re lation to secret sessions v including the; rule which; prohibits disclosure by either HenatOrs and Senate officers of the se-; crts of executive sessions; the penalty foV. which is that Senators render them selves liable to expulsion and officers toj disobarge. No Senator, be said, could! bear that rule .'read without a sense of personal degradation. iThe first In-j stance of secrecy imposed oil Senators,, Mr. Piatt ' said, occurred in January; 1320. i'ii . ; 1 ;i ; i Mr. Morrill asked whether it was not a fact that prior to that time all sessions of the Senate bad been held with closed, doors.. , -:: ; ;l j i Mi. Piatt said be; would come to that by and bye. He would be able to show that the public sentiment of the country eo'mpellea' the1 opening of 'the Senate's in the first instance, after thev bid been tlosed for some years, and he would be able j to show that ' the samet sentiment now demanded that the ! doors j' should .be opened, u as : rule, i u for, the considerationi of executive nominations. His present resolution was that executive nomina tions be considered with open doors ex cept when otherwise ordered by .the; Senate.: Senators themselves ought toj desire that their constituents should! kh?v what the: Senate was doing, the principal ; objection to ; the proposed! change was that it was against the sys- tf n of the Senate. , That was no argu ment; no great ; measure' of reform had eter made progress that it did not make Mr. Piatt reviewed the historv of secret ioxmiauoo ana executive sessions, lie read from ithe earlv iournals of Con gress to show that the opening of; the apors oi Lonerees' durtnsr lecrisla-t trve busbess 1 was; regarded by sena-: tors! and r members of the House of IHepreSehtatives . iheiu. Ives i; as tending to imake nieiulxrs of Con gress mpre ;! fully feel thi responsibihtj their position. It was interest u s to note. h said, first; that the resolution offerf eii In the : Senate, providing for tbe Opening of the' doors .during Che legisla ttve sessions," was 4aid on the table on n0tion of the. Senators from Virginia, and that at the very next session of the benate, Jfames Monroe "appeared as the Senator from Virginia, with specifie in struction from- that State to urge the opening . of the doors.- The objection at that time made to the opening of doors for the conduct of the ordinary legisla- tve business Was the same that was now thsde . as 'the holding of executive ses sions with opeh doors. But as a matter fact.1 Mri; Piatt said, there 1 was in those : early days very little l secrecy about the . proceedings "of the'; Senate; The newspapers pub lished the substance of : them. . Indeed, it could hot be said that there was ady ule, of secrecy at that time except upon particular matters as to which there was ?: t -i : ..,.., . . . I Ipecial need of confidential treatment Matters of executive business, Mr. Piatt said, were hot, in early times, consid ered any more particularly matters 6f secrecy than were matters of legislative business. : Leaving the! historical aspect jpf the subject, Mr. Piatt said it; was ilear it would be no great departui-e from the practices or policy of the fathers tor Senators to acquaint the people with the proceedings of the senate. ; He (Mr. Piatt) ;planted himself Bquarelv on: the statement made Februarys 9th last in 'the: Senate, to the effect! that there j ought to be no secrets p.- ; - rrm , - " t-statement . orit ny comprenenaea me whole subject. 1 here was but one ex I'ceDtion to be tolerated to that, and that i. ar.A in ft&oAR df abaolnte neceasitv.: Such 1 .nId bfi eitrftmelT rare. .i The Senators 44fanded that the President WMWWM V. - - J have no secrets from the Senate. Ihe secrecy was therefore odious to Senators, 'except when ; they themselves wanted to observe secrecy. ; me people were ao manding of the Senators that secrecy ; should not be Observed by the Senate just as the Senators were demanding that the President observe no secrecy How ; could the : Senators meet the inexorable loeio of the: peo-: Ele' s demand. Fnblioity was & cure! for aU evils affecting body politic! The phblicj service would be improved by it. i; Wo would have fewer applica-5 tionafrom had men and fewer nominal J QnB 0f bad men. t There was no' proper ground fOr secrecy in the mere quesfcoii of convenience to senators.. Ihe es sence of argument for executive ses sions, he said, was the plea by Senators for : personal ; liberty on their part, j But did not 'the Senator repre sent the people? Were Senators be yond responsibility f The whole ' ad ministration of the law in the govern ment of the people was involved in ths appointment and , wnjjj-maoa of men to office. The laws could only be enforced through peisons appointed to office; As: to the point of the Senatorial prerogative, wli ich it was said waa in vol v edin this q uestion there arc two words, " said Mr. rlatt. ''which the people of the country want to ' see expunged from their politics' vocabularies, and it is time, those Words Were absolete. i TLose words are fprerogative' and 'privilege,' and if it wore not for being alliterative, I would save that there were two! other words, 'patronage', and 'perquisites,' which the people want to go. The per pie desired (to nave done with them, and the Senate; had better have. done; with thorn. This is no place to assort pre rogatives. IWe had better stand. pretty close to the; people and trust the neople if we want them to trust us." Public sentiment and the sentiment of the jress, Mr. Piatt said, were for open sessions, Of 14,000 ! newspapers in the country fully 10,000 had deelared for open ses sions. ; : -'j ;.: '!!!' Some Senators might say that they did not care what the papers said; but Mr. Plats Baid the press represented the sen tiiaent of the people. It was the; senti ment of the people that Senators should desire to know. .Publio sentiment was easily distinguishable from public clamor. Publio will was to be the law for better or for worse. The day would come when,' the people were to be om nipotent in' the government. With the journalism that conceded to public men neither honest motives or private vir tues, Mr. Piatt said he had n sym pathy; for jit he had no respect.' But that was not the press of the country. It was the "country newspapers that rep resented the real sentiment of the! coun try, newspapers that had no special cor respondents bere. Senators were subject ed to suspicion of "bargains" among one another, arising from considerations of Senatorial I courtesy; To these suspi cions they would not be subjected if thesdoors wero open Mr. Piatt quoted iiurns linei "O wad some power the giftie gie us, To see oursels as ithera see us." He asked the Senators to endeavor to realize how the people regard secret ses sions. He did not know how much or how little of what newspapers 'printed about executive sessions was true, but he .was justified! in saying that the secrets got put to greater or lesa extent. Mixed ther might be by the fertile imag inations of reporters; nevertheless no Senator could deny that either through Senators Jor officers of the Senate secrets' got out, and he (Piatt) did not by that mean to cast the slightest sus picion on Ihe officers of the Senate. He (Mr. Piatt) did i not want to be in f position where he was subjected to sus- Prions of dishonorable disclosure; ? We uiat was;aua: oy tnc senators said, in Open seasion so that it pould .be ' pub lished unnuxea with the imagination of the reporters. ihe senators had notb ing left to! them' but silent endurance when misrepresented.

In this view iiu iHorgan aid not believe it neces sary Jfor lAingress to provide fo any joint'oommission to settle the question.

The resolution declares it to be the sense of the Senate that Congress should hot provide for any joint commission to consider and settle the fisheries ques tion. The inter-State commerce bill was then placed before the Senate in order that it may have the right of way at 2 o'clock to-morrow. Executive session. Adjourned. HOCSB. Mr. Turner, of Georgia, called up as a privileged question the Ohio contested case, Hurd vs. Rome is. Mr. Reagan, of Texas, refrained from antagonising it with the inter-State : commerce bill, with the understanding that that meas ure should lose none of its rights as a special order. It was agreed that the previous question on the election case should be considered as' ordered after eight hours' debate. In this case there are three reports submitted by the committee on elections; a majority report confirming the right of the contestee Bomeis; a minority re port unseating the sifting member and declaring that Mr. Hurd is entitled to the seat, and another minority report taking the ground that neither the con testant nor contestee was duly elected. Mr. Boyce, of Pennsylvania, opened the debate in support of the majority report and quoted from evidence to support him in his position that there was not only ho ground for unseating Mr. Romeis, but scarcely any ground for contesting his seat. Mr. Robinson, of Kentucky, spoke in Mr. Hurd's behalf, and asserted that in pr-cinct 'B" of the 8th ward of Toledo not one of the statute laws of Ohio had Le u complied with. Discussing : the ih -a oi illegal voting at thia pre ciujt, he denounced the methods which he said prevailed in the Ohio elections, and remarked that the tissue ballots of South Carolina and the bulldozing of Louisiana must fall into insignificance when the country learned the methods in which the Ohio Republican elections were carried on. , Mr. Martin, of Alabama, and Mr. Craxton, of Virginia, argued in favor of seating Mr Hurd, basing their con clusions on the ground that the charges that intimidation and bribery had been resorted to on the part of the friends of the, contested had been sustained by the evidence. After speeches by Mesrs. Dorsey, of Nebraska, and Rowelt cf Illinois, in advocacy of the rights of the contestee, and by Mr. Henderson, of North Clarolinswia iaror of the seating of the contestant, the House ad journed. - l"; trlH.ra ktarab t Work. : ' St. Louis, Mo., April 13.

Ills., that the miners in that district had quit work, but it was after wards learned that this was untrue. The miners oi that district met last evening, together with the em ployees of the zinc works and pressed brick works and formed a thorough organization.- Nothing was done positive- y in the direction of a Btrike, neither is there any immediate danger of the men in the St. Louis district going out.' A meeting of the miners was held, near West Belleville Sunday, at which it was resolv d not to suspend operations at present. They are disposed to continue work until May 1st, and await the re sult!! of the district convention to be held at Springfield that dav. Coal was- gpt as usual at a number of the mines in the! vicinity of Belleville, but some mines were compelled to - suspend operations temporarily, owing to the ab sence of railroad facilities for getting their output to market. Representatives of the Knights of Labor from Staunton visited Edwards- ville yesterday for the purpose of in ducing the miners to strike, but men who have regular work there are satis fied 'with their present prices and did not yield. ; 1?

Lillian Madlaoa'a Death. ALLXGED SVIDINCI THAT SHI DIKD fKOM MALPRACTICB Richmond. April 12 The question of the hanging of T. J. Cluverius for the burder of Fanny! Lillian Madison is BOW in the bands of the highest court of the State, the condemned manhaving asked for a new trial on .the ground of newly discovered evidence. In the latter part of last summer Rachel McDonald, an aged maiden lady, living nevr the reservoir in which the body of Lillian Madison was discovered, is found dead in her yard, : with ber throat cut. Apparently, every effort was made to discover the means of her death, but without avail. Her property is in the hands of the court. Now comes the startling news that witnesses have been found to prove that Miss McDonaxd wu murdered and that they will appear be fore the next grand jury of the county (Henrico) with more positive evi dence. r... Still more startling is the information that Lillian Madison, who, ' it was thought, was thrown into the reservoir by her cousin, Cluverius, died at the house of Miss McDonald from an attempt at malpractice, and was thrown into the water after death. All these rumors have excited the gratest interest, and counsel for Cluverius were not slow in doing everything possible to get the facts of Miss McDonald's death out. One of the shrewdest detectives in the country has been in the case. . Cavldw.ll Itama. Cor. of the Nbws and Obsxbvkb. LxNont, N. C, April 10., ; The thermoneter at.
