" Washington, December 5. The Senate Chamber wore a fresh and tasteful appear ance this morning. The floors and gal leries were newly carpeted, and the desks glistened in their coat of varnish, the odor ot which mingled faintly with that of the bouquets and gorgeous floral devices which - enlivened the picture. The Senator most favored in the matter of flowers was Mr. Daniel, of Virginia. The devices were all of mammoth proportions, and covered not only his desk and chair, but overlapped upon the desks of his neighbors. A huge . horse-shoe, a ladder of half a dozen rounds, - and a shield, comprising the coat-of-arms of Virginia, were chief among the pieces. Senator Riddleberger's desk bore a harp with the compliments of Mr. Clannagan, of Philadelphia. Senator Gorman was the recipient of a horse-shoe upon an easel. Thn i&skB of Senators Harris. Beck, Pad dock, 8tewart, Mandersoa and Palmer, and J that of the President or ine senate, were also elaborately adorned with flowers in various unique and tasteful forma. Senators began to arrive and take their seats before 11 o'clock. Senators Stewart and Hiscock being the first comers. For an hour before noon the floor was a busy scene, members of both parties, their friends, and the officers of the Senate ta . king this occasion to exchange greetings and compare notes. The chief topic of conversation with the majority was the prospect of a conflict over the admission of certain Democratic Sena tors elect, and it early became known that the Rapublicans, in default of any caucus plan of action, had concluded to follow the lead of their members of the Committee on Privileges and Elections- These had been in informal consultation, it was understood, and had reached the conclusion to make no opposition to the admission of Mr. Turpie, of Indiana, but to object to the admission of Mr. Faulkner, of West Virginia, on the ground that there were conflicting creden tials from that State. The general opinion was that there would be no deadlock, and that the usual course of opening proceed ing would not be broken. The galleries were early crowded and to oveiflowing. Mrs. Cleveland, clad ,io a costume of dark green, and accompanied by Mrs. Gilder, Mrs. Kingsf ord and several other lady friends, occupied the seats re served for the family of the President in ODe of the private galleries. The Diplo matic gallery wa3 filled by the members of the various legations, the front seat being occupied by the Chinese Minister, his secre taries and associates. The Minister wore a magnificent robe of light blue satin, and his companions were clad as richly, though in more subdued colors. The proceedings of the day were opened with prayer by the .Chaplain, Rev. J. G. Butler. He asked Wat Senators might be endowed with wisdom and strength to meet the honorable and trying responsibili ties of the day and all duties that gather around them. ' The President of the Senate, Mr. Ingalla, then took the chair and called the Senate to order. He said he would now place be fore the Senate the certificates of election, certificates of appointment, and other pa pers received since the adjournment. The following papers were thereupon submitted and read: ( Certificate of the Governor of Florids, making the temporary appointment of J. J. Finlay, as Senator from the 4th of March, 1887, until the Legislature should fill the vacancy caused by the expiration of the term of Senator Jones; certificate of the Governor of Florida of the elec tion by the Legislature of Samuel Pasco; certificate of the Governor of New Jersey of the election of Rufus Blodgett: of the Governor of West Virginia, of the appoint ment by him of Daniel B. Lucas, to fill the vacancy caused by the expiration of the term of Senator Camden; one of the Go vernor of West Virginia, of a summary of the proceedings by which the Legislature, in special session, elected Charles J. Faulk ner as Senator to fill a vacancy; the cre dentials of Wm. E. Chandler, of New Hampshire; the protest of Daniel B. Lucas against the administration of the oath of office to Charles J . Faulkner. The grounds of protest are, first, that the Executive of v the State of West Virginia has not certified the election of Charles J. Faulkner under the seal ofjhe State, as required by the act of CoDgress; second, for reasons set out in a brief of Daniel B. Lucas, a copy of which accompanied the protest; third, be cauee Charles, J. Faulkner was, at the time of his alleged election, on the 5th of . May, 1887, judge of the 13th Ju dicial district of West Vireinia. and : therefore ineligible to the office of Sen ator. The protest was laid on the table and , ordered to be printed in the Eeford. The ceremony of administering the oath of office to the newly elected Senators was then proceeded with, such Senators being called in parties of four and in alphabetical order. The first four Senators thus called and sworn (in all instances with uplifted hand.and not on a bible), were Aldrich.Bate, Blodgett and Chandler. The second four were Cockrell, Daniel, Davis and Dawes. In the swearing in of the Senators elect, Senator' Hoar made objection to the admins- istration of the oath to Mr. Faulkner, of W.'Va., untill a certain question, to which v his credentials gave rise, could be passed upon by the Committee on Privileges and Elections. As a member of that committee he assured the Senate that the matter should , . receive the immediate attention of the com ;! mittee, so that if the gentleman were found to be entitled to his seat, he could enter up on his duties without unnecessary delay. Senator Kenna said that the course pro- posed by the Senator from Massachusetts aeemedjeminently appropriate.andhe trusted ' it would be followed without the formali ty of a vote. This course was followed, and the call of 8enatofselect proceeded. The oath was administered to Mr. Turpie, of Indiana, r,; and he waB admitted to his seat. All pa ? ' pers in the case were referred to the Com :a - mittee on Privileges and Elections. ;"( - The oath was then administered to the : remainder of the Senators. H. At the suggestion of Mr. Vest, the priv v '' lieges of the floor were, given to Mr. jfaulk-- . ner pending the decision of the contest, i; When the roll call had been completed, and Senatorgielect were sworn in, the cus vitomary committees to give notice to the -:" President and House of Representatives ; ; : were named and the Senate adjourned. I jf: Messrs. Morgan and Morrill represent the Senate on this committee. ? "'T; - v HOUSE OF KEPRTWR NT A TTVP t'A-.i-' before the boor of noon the gal : ' v.'; leriea of the House were crowded to their v?tmost capacity with spectators, drawn to a getper to witness the opening scenes of the Y - new Congress. . The ladies were in the ma jority, and. their gay costumes lent an air ;.-.. of animation to the chamber. On the floor the members congregated and exchanged ; greetings andcongmoltatoiw. ; There were : very Xew floral decorations, upon the desks bell, of New York, was favored with a horse-shoe of carnations and roses, the gift of the Oriental Crab of New York. At noon the Clerk of the House called the body to order and waB about to call the rolL when 'a crank in the gallery started - a Salvation Army hymn, which he sang lustily until ejected by a door-keeper, which, was not until several minutes had elapsed, as the crowd impeded the official in his attempt to reach the musician. The Clerk then proceeded with the roll call amid a good deal of con fusion, caused by gentlemen renewing old acquaintances or forming new ones. Amid much talk and laughter the pages were kept busy carrying belated bouquets and floral designs to the proper recipients. Among the handsomest of the designs was the one presented to Mr. Lawler, of Illi nois. It was a taoiet or roses, on wmco was inscribed in purple immortelles. "Labor's Champion." Mr. Randall's desk was embellished with a harp, and that of Mr. Stahlnicker, of New York, was adorned with a tall floral vase. On the call of the roll, 313 members an swered to their names, and the clerk an nounced that more than a quorum being present the next business in order was the election of Speaker. John G. Carlisle was put in nomination by Mr. Cox, of N. Y., and Thomas B. Reed, by Mr. Cannon, of III. At the re quest of the clerk, Messrs. Randall, Mills, Long and McKinley took their places at the clerk's desk to act as tally keepers, and the roll was again called. The vote re sulted as follows: Total number of votes cast, 313; for Carlisle, 163; for Reed, 148; for Brumm, of Penn., 2. Of the four Inde pendents, Auderson.of la, voted for Carlisle; Nichols, of N. C, and Smith, of Wis., for Brumm. while Hopkins, of Va , did not vote. The Clerk thereupon declared Car lisle duly elected Speaker, and that gentle man was escorted to the speaker s oesK Dy Cox and Reed, amid loud applause. The oath of office having been administered by Kelly, of Pa., the Speaker rapped the House to order ana maae a speech or tnansa for the honor conferred upon him, in which he directed attention to the important labors which would devolve upon the present Congress, and dealt with much stress on the important necessity, of such moderate and reasonable reduction of the tariff as would guarantee laboring people against the effects of financial depression, and at the same time would not deprive them of any part of the just rewards of their toil. The work of organizing the House was then proceeded with. At the completion of the organization the House adjourned. A NEEDED LAW. Proposed Bill for Besnlatlne and Be-' sirletlns Immigration to the United States. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, Dec. 4. Senator Palmer, of Michigan, will introduce in the Senate at the earliest possible opportunity a bill prepared by him for the purpose of regu lating and restricting immigration to the United States. The principal reaiure oi the bill is a provision which, if it becomes a law, will require every person of foreign birth, who contemplates emigrating to the United States, to provide himself with a certificate from the United States Consul for the district of his residence, setting forth substantially that said Consul is sat isfied, upon diligent inquiry, that he is a suitable and desirable person for residence and citizenship in the United States. Per sons of foreign birth not provided with such certificates shall not be allowed by the United States immigration officers to land in this country. The fourth section, which embodies most of the new legislation pro posed by Senator Palmer's bill, provides that no certificate shall be granted to any convict, except those convicted of political offences, nor to any lunatid, idiot or any person unable to take care of himself or herself, without becoming a public charge; nor to any Anarchist, Nihilist, or any per' son hostile to the principles of the Consti tution or the form of government of the United States: nor to any believer or pro fessed believer in the Mormon religion, who fails to satisfy the Consul upon examina tion that he or she intends to and will con form and obey the laws of the United States: nor to any person 'included in the prohibition in the act to prohibit the im portation and immigration of foreigncis and aliens under contract or agreement to perform labor in the1 United Slates, ap proved February 26tb, 1885. or ia the acts amendatory to said act. THENEQRO & FR OH IB IT ION Revr Joseph Cook, of Boston, on the Newest Aspects of Temperance Re form. By Telegraph to the Mornliu Star. New York, Dec. 4. Rev. Joseph Cook, of Boston, was the principal speaker be fore (he American Temperance' Union, at Chickering Hall, this afternoon. His topic was, "The Newest Aspects of Temperance Reform, Educational and Political." He dwelt particularly on the necessity of edu eating the young in the evil effects of alco hol. Mr. Cook said that the principle of prohibition had a potent enemy in the negro of the South. In fifty years, he de clared, the negroes would rule the vote of the South, and unless the young of the race were instructed in the'eff ects of liquor, their voice in subjects relating to prohibi tidh would be all-powetful against the movement. INDIANA. Death of the training Wonder, John Owen Snyder. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Indianapolis, Dec. 5. John Owen Snyder, better' known as the "Walking Wonder," died on yesterday at his home at Midgrove, Blackford county. For, nearly three years previous to his death Snyder was impelled, as he said, by some mysteri ous force, to walk constantly, and he took his meals while continuing his ceaseless tramp. He slept but little, generally in a chair, but the minute he woke he started to walking. He made a tour of the mu seums of the country recently, which yielded him a handsome sum. OHIO.

Oeclslon or the C. s. sapreme Court In the Virginia Habeas Corpus Casts-Jade Bond Completely Flat tened-A. State as a Polltlea STove ' rclsnty Cannot be Sued The Opinion that or the Whole Coart with One Exception. By Telegraph to tbe Morning Star. -Washtngion, Jec. 5. A decision was rendered by the U. 8. Supreme Court this afternoon, in the Virginia habeas corpus cases of Attorney General Ay res and Com monwealth's Attorneys Scott and McCabe, who were imprisoned by order of Judge Bond, of the U. 8. Circuit Court, for dis obedience to a restraining order, forbidding them to bring suits for the collection of taxes incases where tenders have been made of tax-recsivable coupons cut from State bonds This Court, in a very long and elaborate opinion by Justice Matthews, holds that the suit in which Judge Bond issued the restraining order in thg Circuit Court, although nominally a suit against individuals, is in reality a suit against the State of Virginia, and as such ia forbidden by the eleventh amendment to tho Federal Constitution; that the U. 8. Circuit Court had therefore no authority to entertain such a suit; that in so doing and in issuing the restraining order to prevent the officers of the State from discharging their duties under the laws of the State, Judge Bond was acting without constitutional warrant and that the restraining order and all sub sequent proceedings under it, including the arrest and imprisonment of the peti tioners, were illegal and without authority. The Court therefore direct! that ' the peti tioners, Attorney General Ayies and Com monwealth's Attorneys Scott and McCabe be at once discharged. The opinion, which ia that of the whole court, with the exception of Justice Harlan, who dissents, sustains the State of Virginia at all points, and vir tually declares that the State, a a political sovereignty, cannot be auod uor coerced in the Federal Courts, either by action brought against her by name or by action brought agaioat her officers in their official cor picity The Court declares that the 11th amend ment established a distinction between con tracts made by individuals" with each other and contracts made hy individuals with a StaJe. The latter class cDnot be tnforcud by remedies used to enforce the former, that is by suits ia U S Courts, and tbry are therefore without sanction, except in no far as such sanction ia given to them by the honor and good faith of the conli acting State. Such State may consent to be -ued in its own Courts, over the Federal Courts, for a breach of contract, but it trntv at any time withdraw such consent and resume its sovereignty, and it cannot then be judi cially coerced at the request of an indi vidual. As soon aa this announcement was mide man? of the spectators began filing out and the marshal had to rap for order several times during the reading of the early p r tio:i of Justice Field's opinion diaseniing from some of the vie 73 expressed in the opinion read by Justice Ma'.thews, though not from the conclusion reached. In his opinion Justice Field says that he concurs in the main position upon which the discharge of the petitioners U founded ; namely, that the suit was one against the State of Virginia itself and therefore in violation of the 11th amendm3nt He mad? this - epecial concurrence, however, because of the language in the majority opinion expressing approval of the position taken by the Court in Louisiana against Jumel, from which he dissented. That case he considered as brought to compel the officers of the State to do what she had consented they might be required to do by judicial tribunals. He adhered in every respect to what be had then said, express ing his conviction of the Invalidity and un constitutionality of the ordinance of repu diation embodied in tho new cons' itntion of Louisiana, and also In hi opinion of the equally invalid legislation of Virginia as expressed in Antoji vs. Ureenbow. Justice Harlan said that be adhered In his dissenting opinions in the cases of An toni vs. Greenhow, Louisiana vs. Jumel, and CunBioehara vs. Macon & Brunswick Railway Co . and therefore dissented from the opinion and judgment in this case He expressed the view that suits brought in the Circuit Court of the United States were not suits again&t the Stale of Virginia with in the meaning of the eleventh amendment. Other Decisions. Justice Harlan delivered Jthe opinion of the Court to-day in the two so-called prohi bition cases of Peter Mugler, plaintiff in er ror, vs. the State of Kansas, and the State versus Herman Siebold and others, affirm ing the judgment of the lower Court in the two "Mugler" cases and reversing lbs Seibold case. The effect of this opinion is to declare valid the prohibition laws of tbe Stale of Kansas, and is of course a victory for the Prohibitionist. The Court said that the cases came up under the laws of Kansas declaring the maintenance of the building for the manufacture and sale of liquor to be a nuisance , and making tbe manufacture and eale of intoxicants a mis demeanor. It was contended that this law was unconstitutional, because it abridged the rights of citizens and deprived a citizen of property without due process of law; the building usad as a brewery being of little value for any other purpose. Justice Harlan said it had been held repeatedly that tbe right of tbe State to regulate the sale of liquor did not invade the constitu tional rights of a citizen. It was contend ed, however, he said, that no State Legis lature had the right to prohibit any person- irom manuiaciuring liquor for nia own use or for export, for the reason that it was an invasion of personal liberty inherent in cit izens. It must be observed, however, he said, that the right to manufacture drink for one's own use is subject to tbe restriction that it shall not injuriously affect the pub lic. The right to determine what was inju rious had to exist somewhere, and the right of determining what measures are necessary for the preservation of mprals, health and safety, had therefore been vested in the States by the constitutional right given under police power to regulate their own internal concerns. While this police power could not be abused and must only be exercised for objects of real merit, this Court would cer taily not say that the liquor traffic was not one which the State could lawfullypro hibit, because it was well known that tbe abuse of intoxicants was productive of pauperism and crime. The next ground of contention, the Justice said, was that as breweries had been erected prior to the passage of the prohibition law, and aa they were of little use except for breweries, their property was taken without due process of law and in violation of the Constitution But all propetty under our form of govern' ment, he held, is subject to the obligation that it shall not be used so as to injuriously affect the rights of a community and there by become a nuisance. The 8tate of Kan sas bad the rieht to Drohibit the Manor traffic. It did not thereby take away the property of brewers. It simply abated a nuisance. Property is not taken away from its owners; they are only prohibited from using it for a specific purpose, which the Legislature declared to ba Injurious to the community. ELECTRIC SPARKS.

IBy Telecrapa to the Morula Sw.i Chicago, Dec 5. On 'Change loday, when business began, all grains were nigner, and tbe advance held when busi ness wa officially begun. May wheat, which closed Saturday at 85fc, opened at 86ic. and speedily sold to 86rC. Msy corn, which closed at 55c, opened at 55c, snd ten minutes later sold at 55Jc. Provisions were higher on light receipts of hogs. Corn and provisions developed into sen sational markets tbe first half hour. The country set the pace, and buying by shorts made the advance still more ripid. May corn did not have a single set-back be tween 55, and 58,c. When it reached this flguro the crowd began to sell, u reacted speedily to 56,c. but there was a strong undertone to the market and a further de cline would have encountered stubborn re sistance. Pork was even more exciting than corn. The combined effort or light receipts, cold weather, shorts covering, and the advance in corn was to shoot values 2? ? d1 Janu!r7 PO'k opened at $14 97,, sold up to $15 & without a halt, and Msy at the same time went to $15 971 When the break In corn came there was an ?Wfif,5&0f V1?' wheat went up to 86l86Jc, but reacted with other mar kets.

May corn went back from 561c. TO nnf It was -.1 -a . . - uoturoi ueciine rrom an unnatural advance. There proved to be many buyers at the lower figures, however, and when the decrease of 889,000 bushels m the visible supply was announced, May went back to 56a. and around 58c. be came quite steady.

C., 'Dec. 5. 1 take up the thread, of Conference Sat urday evening, at 7.30 o'clock, when the Missionary Anniversary was held. Addresses were delivered by Bishop Key - and Rer; G. G. Smith, of the North Georgia Conference. A hat collection was taken amounting to more than $250. Sunday morning dawned in smiles of gentle sunshine on the good old townof Fayettevllle, prophetic it seemed of ; the glad day that vvas to fill all hearts with deeper devotion to God and His work. The services of the dav betran with an old-time love feast, in which the brethren told of them. It was a God's dealings with feast for souls. At 11 a. m. the Bishop was in the pulpLt at the Methodist Church. The Bermon was powerful in thought and application. The Bishop is an ora tor1 no doubt about it.fi At the Presbyterian Church ser mons were preached by Revs. J. II Cordell and F. D. Swindell. At the Baptist Church, by Dr. J. W. Nortle and T. P. RicaucL At the Second Methodist Church, Revs. J. C. Rowe and P. F. W. Stamey. At the olose of the Bishop's sermon, the following ministers were ordain ed deacons: Erskine Pooe. Jas. M. Doronum, Geo. W. Fisher, Joseph A. Green, Thos. C. Lorise, C. W. God win, T. P. Bonar, W. A. Forbes, A. J. Burnes, Robt. Abernethy, Thos. B. Han, H. M. Eure, D. P. Tate, Dan. C. Reed. At night Dr. G. G. Smith preached in. the Methodist Church a telling sermon, and timely, on the relation of the church and her ministry to children. At tbe close of this sermon the following ministers having passed the four years' course of study, were ordained Elders: Marcus D. Giles, B. C. Aired, James A. Bowles, Robt. P. Troy, John E. Underwood, Jas. M. Ashby, D. Henderson Tattle, Hugh M. Blair, John B. Hurley, Rod erick B. John, F. M. Shamberger, Marshall A. Smith, Thos. Daily, Thos. J. Browning. At 3 P.

BishoD Key in the chair. Religious services were conducted by Rev. T. J. Gattis, of Tarboro. The minutes of Saturday were read and approved. Question 20th was taken up and the annual examination of character gone into. Let me say just here, that there is no need of people talking about any meanness of which a Methodist preacher may be guilty. When the above question is called any one who knows of any act unbe coming ministerial conduot, may stop his career by statiDg and sustaining the charge, either in person or through the said minister's Presiding Elder At this point the Conference select ed a place for its next meeting. Win ston and New Bern were nominated. New Bern was selected almost unani mously at the first vote made unani mous. The hour of 11 a. in., which had been specially set apart for the con sideration of Trinity College, having arrived, President Crowell read his report. This report showed decided advance in the work of the college. No young man will be "put througn" at Trinity; he must go through by dint of energy and application. He must work to "get in," work to "stay in," and toork to "get out" honorably at the other end graduation. President Crowell said,-"We Intend to refute the Impression that because a college is denominational it cannot be as broad in Its culture, or as lib eral In its opportunities and In Its In tellectual tone, as a college supported by the State. In other words, that a college controlled and ordered by broad-minded Christian men of the most liberal-minded denomination in America, cannot be as literal in its life as a State institution con trolled by members of far less liberal denominations In part, and part by un-Chrlstlan politicians who often have the narrowest views of educa tion." After President Crowell's address. $2,300 was raised on the Endowment of the College. " Ten o'clock Tuesday was fixed as the hour for memorial exerciser four preachers haying died during the year The joint board of finance here made their annual report. Amount raised during the year for Bishop's salary. $1,645, and paid to Bishop Key. Raised for worn-out preachers, their widows and orphans, and paid Out the same, $5,758.54.
