The chair said the information would be iaocordingly. sent to the Governor of Tennessee. I Jr. Qorman reported favorably from the tommittee on aommerce the bill to Ibnstni0 a rt clasp fight-ship and w tablish ii ofi the entrance to Chesapeake bar; The ship is to cost not to exceed $60000,; to ; have steam fog-signal and to be built in an . American snip-yard : ; On motion of Mr. Gorman, the bill wafl at once passed, : V I . Mr.' Morgan said he had been tastruo ted .by the committee on foreign! rela twu8 to give notice that tomorrow at 2 o'iilock, or as soon thereafter as practi cable, he would ask the Senate to go into executive session for the considera tion of an important matter. Mr. Sutler addressed the Senate on the subjeot of open executive session!, Be had : examined with care, he said, the Bubject under consideration and had oome to thef ieonolusion that the rules providing for secret sessions oUghtr to bo abrogated. There never was a time wben the necessity for abrogation o. those rules was made so plain as at pree- ent. "When the Democratic party haci a majority in the Senate that majority never attempted to interfere with the constitutional prerogative of the presi dent of the II. S. or to paralyse the con duct of governmental affairs for; party advantage a the Republican majority of the Senate was now doing. 'If an party ever -could have justification for pursuing a course at all like, that which the Bepubliean majority of the Senate was now pursuing it would have been the Democratic party when: it had a ma jority in the Senate, for that party and the country : had then been recently cheated; and defrauded of its ; rightful President. ; As to the present adminis tration ;and tiieSenates.attitude towaids iy MrlButler said that whUe it -could notbei claimed ' that the President had jaot - made : mistakes, it -could b9i said ht ; All his methods of Administmtive ! reform hud Kfin in the line,of improvemnt and in he U terest of good government. How had hbeeftmett, Was it by; a frank and patriotw effort to aid him in giving the people 'good.order. ; Net at all. He had been met by; carping cilttcimi and b endeavors to hamper aui luict ehis ad ministration of public ttsino-ti. Almofet .the first aet pf the majorit ot the Sen ate, or rather of atekntlets and incor rigible faction of that majority,? was an attempt to get from the .Pr sident his reasons' for certain executive acts, to whiob reason- the Senate waB no more entitled than -was (he council of the Gbootaws. ' The absurdity of the! de mand having been discovered it was abandoned, with ill-concealed humilia tion, and .; the demand for the. papers made instead. The President" would have been unworthy his high place it he net resisted compliance with such , de niand. N The same faction of the Senate majority had now taken the ground that in the publio ; interest or for" i the gratification of party spleen? 'Admit ting, tor sue saxe oi : argument, tn&t tne President had done wrong, was the Senate performing , its duty in pursuing the course indicated T Mr. - .butler wanted the Senate 'doors wide open when action nations. order that the oountrv might Wa mMMML-jimmMm aa vyMvu : uvuii- mbbam IkBTnrv'vaVan AH' nvaoiil ATaf tail 'Vnm be advised of the frjvolous character of I Lfle irrvuuu VII W1UVU wuuu on which acuon was re fused On nominations. His (Butler'i-) experience in the Senate convinced him that there Was no use and no neefiasn ) for secret feessions,.: except, perhaps, m aonaiderini treaties with foreim nations. The Senate was the only legislative body in the world except one that now had: any provision for secret sessions. Mr. JJutler read extracts from letters to him'from several of the' foreign minis ters in Washington, written m reply to enquiries made by him, I to show f that the I legislative: bodies ;of no other country than; 1 Mexico held' secret sessions. Mnch had recently hAAn said bv Renublican Senators of star-chamber proceedings and kingly prerogatives in , our government. I How would these woros ao apuiira jto u action of the Senate in reverting to exe cutive sessions? The surest, Jafest and nearest road to oivil service reform, Mr. Butler' said, was to throw" wide open the doors of .the Senate for executive sessions And permit by law members of the President's cabinet to come on the floor of Congress from time to time and participate in debate, .but without vote, as Droviaea oy tne diu introuuceu vy Mr. Pendleton. No other course could so well tend to l proper understanding of publio questions, or better mutual relations of the executive and the legis lative departments of the government, Mr. I Butler saw in our government no' danger of executive encroachment. There was much more danger, be said, of legislative encroachment. ! The time for oncman-power had gone and would not return until' chaos should reign and the sword be called on the restore order. Let us hope that that time was in the far distant future, if it must ever come, and that tha true idea of POOUlar gov I mkmt wU witbftand all fiwroah- ment, from whatever source, eft had been said that the sovereign of England reigned' but did not govern; that the presidenibf the French republic' neither reigned nor governed; and that the President of the United States governed but did' not reign. The President: of this republic governed by faithfully ex ecuting the laws W henever he should come to exceed his power he would be come a revolutionist and usurper, but in hia faithful execution of the laws lay the strength, power and invincibility of this government. Wise laws by Con gress, with no secrets from! the i people; the faithful execution of the laws by the President, and a just and impartial in terpretation of those laws by the courts, constituted the best safeguards for the liberties of the people. ' j Mr. Kiddleberger submitted, as a sub stitute for the pending resolution relat ing to executive sessions, a resolution providing that all matters other than those relating to treaties shouldbe con sidered and acted ppon by the Senate in open session. This was ordered to be printed. J 1 I ; ' The Senate took up a bill reported from the committee on pensions. 'for the relief off soldiers Of the late war honor- ably discharged after sixmouths'serTice, who are disabled I and dependent npoa their own labor for support, ami of de pendent .parents of soldiers who died in the service or from disabilities contract ed therein. ' ' It provides for placing on the pension roll the beneficiaries de scribed by the title. The highest rate of pension under this bill is I $24 per month, with a proportionate amount for partial disability. At 2 O'clock the matter went" over for to-day and the inter-State commerce bill was laid before, the Senate. Mr. Cul lom spoke at length in support of the bill. : i . . i f . Mr. Palmer followed, also in support of the bill, not because he thought it one that he would approve, but because it looked in the right direction; t After an executive session the Senate adjourned. j :'J . HOU8X. ' ; Mr. Morrison, from Jthe committee on rules,, reported 'a resolution granting leave lot the committee on public lands at any time during the present session, after the morning hour, to call up for consideration bills reported from that committee for forfeiture of land grants to railroads and other corporations, to prevent speculation in public lands, and for the reservation of : public : lands for the benefit of actual, bona fide settlers, the same not ,to interfere with prior special birders, or with : revenue and ap propriation bills.: Adopted. I ; ' lhe Jtlouse then resumed the consid eration bf the Hurd-Romeis contested election! ease. 1M I ? After speeches by Messrs. Hall. Ely. Hopkins, Green, of North Carolina, Pettibdne and BreckmrideeV the floor was accorded to the contestant Hurd to speak In his own behalf H took bis stand far back: on the . Democratic side, at the desk which he occupied d urine the 48th Congress, and from! which he delivered his speeches upon the tariff question. The inattention which had characterized the conduct of the mem bers during the previous discussion was suddenly transtormed into attention Mr. Hurd opened his argument with the statement tbat he would not have ad dressed the House but for the fact that he wished to show that heLhad good caust to claim that he had been elected in the tenth Ohio district. His sense of duty to himself, to his friends and the constituents who had so often honered him, compelled him to speak today He did not overlook the interest which the pub if had in the question j he would discias. Before ; and beyond ; all the interest : which eiUier ; the bitting member or himself bad in the 1 controversy was the interest of the btfblio. It i made but little differ enoe fr ho the legislator was, provided the source of his power was pure and uncontaminated. Lastly, above . the question and greater than the question as tofwho was tne representative, was that Other question, "Has the election on which he relied been fair ?" He reviewed the testimony taken in tbe case and in conclusion saift 'I do not deem it improper to call attention , to the eleo- uon fit wnicu a was aeieaiea. At was the exception tnat tne roaas are; in Det the October election, 1884. ; The Bern- ter shape to do business and are doing oi-rafic party of that State Was engaged in the first great battle of that canvass All the forces, were concentrated. The fate of the Republican party was held in its band. If Ohio went asainst the Re- publicans, Ohio was then ' lost to the Republican ' candidate i for f President. It is a matter of public notoriety that whatever wealth or power or organiza tion could do was done, f ! Members of the different departments t Washing ton :Were in Ohio. The campaign was maqpged unaer the eye Of the great leader of the Republican party and the Republican candidate for president was in Ohio, in my district, in my city, the night before the election. The eyes of the wnoie nation were turned to it. lhe battle everywhere eUe was suspended bat it went on in Ohio, and how it went on with such an effort, against such fearful odds, .with, such' pains, strength and vitality, none can know except the gallant Democrats of Ohio who were engaged in the controversy. It was in this battle in which 1 was stricken down. If I had boen fairly stricken ddfrn I should ' have waited for the tender hand of a kindlier day to lift me up. But having been unfairly h trick en down, as I honestly believe, Could I do less than come to this House a&xl ask it in its impartial; judgment to give m tbe seat to which lam entitled; not through sympathy or partisanship. God forbid, but in the punishment of wrong and in vidicauon of right. As Mr. Hurd ended his speech he was greeted with loud and long eon tinned applause on the floor and in 9 after carefully receiving the testimony which had led him to concur in the findings of the majority report, dwelt upon the necessity of the House examin ing impartially the evidence presented in tne election case ana aeciaing upon tbese cases without partisan bias. The vote was first taken on the reso lution of the minority, which,declares that Jacob Komeis is not entitled to the seat. This was defeated; veas 105, nays 168. auc majority resolutions, conurmme Mr. Romeis right to his agreed to without division.

The delay, how-, ever, was but temporary, for in half an uour tne agricultural Diu was tax en up and passed. There was no discussion of the measure, except over an amend ment offered by Mr. Price, of Wiscon sin, having in view a reduction of the force of employees in the department of ifrioalture. This gaye Mr. Skinner, f Worth Carolina, an opportunity to attacx to commissioner of agriculture for retaining "Republican cots" who did not oome within the civil service rules. lhe river and harbor appropriation bill was taken up long enough to make it the unfinished business, and the House adjourned.

The tariff bill having been reported from the ways and means committee, and it having been referred to the com mittee of the whole, the flood-gates of eloquence will be opened in about two weeks and there will be no stopping of; the current for at least six weeks or two months thereafter.

Putting these tw;o facts together the passage or defeat of the bill is as yet a mere mat ter of speculation. ! COX AND HIS CIVIL 8SRTICI SPXICH. j The speech of General Cox in sup port of his civil service bill, which was published m the JNxws and Ubbkbvxr, nasi attracted considerable attention throughout the country. I have seen some very complimentary notices of it in many of the great Northern and Wes tern dailies, and the comments in Con gressional and Carolina circles here have been altogether commendable. Even fhose who differ with him on this ques tion aie free to confess that it; was a most logical and eloquent presentation of the subject. The fixed attention of his fellow-members and the spectators during the delivery of the speech was a Compliment the General or any public man might well have felt proud of. It is even: now no unusual thing to see the name of W. R. Cox figuring in the great journals of the country, and should he be again returned (as it is generally believed he will be) he will, before the end of the ' fiftieth Congress, have a national reputation as a wise, economic legislator of unusual power and ability. And he will Tichly deserve it all. ; gXPRkSKKTATrVB BJCID AND TBK BLAIR BILL. The friends of Hon. J. W.

BINNXTt'S 'BIOGRAPHIR. Judge Bennett and his friends had ! a hearty laugh Over the published sup position that strangers "take him for : a fcrank,'" and ' the Jedge"? thinks there may be one 'stranger' possibly who does think him really "cranky," but he doesn't believe any more than is friends do that another case can be produoed. If we had a few more such "cranks in the storehouse of states manship the country would probably profit by the fact. A "BUTPRXSSED SLANDKRKR.

Dr. Branson openened the meeting with prayer. Mr. N. B. Broughton, chairman of the executive committee, gave in detail an account of the progress of the com mittee, and suggested many other im portant features necessary to the further advancement of the work, and for the encouragement Of the association read many extracts from letters received from prominent gentlemen of Atlanta, and from the secular press of that city, deny ing the statements made that "business was prostrated, mechanicts and other laborers were idle and lounging about the streets, and their families on the eve of starvation." He also gave encour aging accounts of the prohibition work going on in our sister towns of Durham, Henderson and Oxford.

Whitaker was brought to the front and he responded in a telling speech which all seemed greatly to enjoy. Next the. Rev. Mr. Barrett was brought to his feet and out of his great coat, for the meeting was getting warmed up and seemed to thirst for another re freshing shower. , This reverend gen tleman, although he insisted the hour had grown late, so much so that he could not think of attempting to make, a speech, was not' allowed to resume his seat until he had said - many good and pleasant things and had . thoroughly convinced his auditors that his great heart had been warmed and stirred to its utmost in this great work of reforma tion. At the close of his remarks the secretary read the following communi cation : ; : To Raleigh Township Losal Option As I sociatioa, j. 1 Gxntlxhin: By virtue of a resolu tion, we, the. undersigned, were appoint ed a committee to inform your honora ble association that in the last ten days a large number of the young men of the City have ; formed a club known as the I'Young Men's Prohibition Club."

He did so and responded in a most ex cellent speech, being frequently inter rupted by applause. It was fully demon strated that although we represent the dry ticket our speakers without excep tion exhibited their tact in 'resenting the subject in an exceedingly refreshing and commendiable manner. , Mr. Uroughton said that at a pre vious meeting it was agreed to have a meeting of the association every Friday night, but as there seemed : to be some misapprehension in regard to that mat ter, he bbped it would be definitely settled to night. Messrs J Weir and Parish followed in a few remarks in ad vocacy of a meeting of thia! association every Jbriday night, and on motion Mr. rarishacomj ltteeof entertainment was appointed to make all neocessary arrangement for said meetings, and the chair designated Mr. Parish chairman of said committee and he selected MeBsr?. Broughton - and Barrett to co-operate with him. The Rev. D. L. Shiveley was reqiest ed to sing one of his favorite temper-, ance songs and he readily complied with the request and sang - "Let it alone and it will not harm; you." At the -close of the song Mr Broughton read with fine effect a touching little poem entitled "A little Bow of Blue." Many eyes were moistened as he finished and the veteran temperance' war-horses arose and ex claimed that he ' felt - more like -I 1 r i making a speech than ': ever, and Mr. Parrisb. a zealous co-laborer for many years in the temperance cause, moved thai a number of copies of the poem "A little Bow of Blue" he printed for distribution, ' which was agreed to. -' On motion of Mr. Broughton, a com mittee On fraternal relations with the young men's prohibition club was ap pointed to visit them and bid them God speed in: the grand work and to invite them to attend the meetings of this asso ciation) The chair designated Messrs.
