" Washington, Jan. 7; 1885. When the Senate resumed consideratio of the Interstate Commerce bill to-day Mr. Bayard expressed the hope that consideration of tbe bill ia the Sen ate would be carried no further for the prsent, as the question embraced in ihe bill was nectar consideration in the House .of Represehtatfraav with probability of an early decision on it by that body " Besides there were questions of .far" reaching' im- portance inTolred ia the measure. ! Mr. Bayard, for his own part, wished for a longer time for deliberation and . more information on " the subject. He had never desired to vote on a question 6f doubtful constitutionali ty. The responsibility was upon Con gress to affirmatively show that it had the power 'to do that which it proposed to do, and not legislate in doubtful premises. He did not seek to restrict the power of Congress to regulate interstate commerce, tut all men knew that railroads were1 work ing under State charters, and how ever plain may be the right or power of Congress to regulate commerce between the State, it was certain that Congress had never hitherto exercised it , MB. ciaiua SURPRISED. Mr. Ingalls was surprised at the position taken by Mr. Bayard, that the Senate should not consider a subject contemporaneously with its consideration by the House of Repre sentative, r It was tantamount to an admission that when the House had any topic in hand tbe Senate i woum nave eiiuer to tak e up some otner topic or eo into executive ses sion. 'We may as well deal plainly with this subject," continued Mr. Ingalls "The Senate of the United States I use plain language the , Senate11 of the United S ates is . suspected by the people of this country with a desire not to do anything on this subject.

T ' It is doubtful whether a realCivil Service reform would retain inoffioe many of the lesser officials in the de partments of to-3ay. It has been the habit from'time immemrialjsvhen Congress imposes any new work up on any department for bat depart ment to ask for and receive the au thority to employ additional- clerks for tnor special aervioa. In many bureaus the force has been needless ly, increased ; fully ; nVSy .per.- cent. These special clerks are rarely fl.ev er dropped, fof the Influeaces which" secured their appomtment Are genera ally strong enough to keep them' en rolled among' the regular clerks, f It people of New York City that the. first unpublished cuneiform inscrip tion to reach them ahould belong5 to the reign of a king so familiar in Ori ental bistory. There are only two men io America competent to per form this transaction . -.. . . . .- , , 1te Chleaco Noelaliata. Aceording to. a published state ment the number 'of armed sot ialists in Chicago is placed at 2,00k "Tere are-tbxee warlike sections among the sckUs of Oiicago, said or of the leaders:-' "These are the Lehr o"fiW. yerein,' the ftriXo Bland tne.

Many of. them) do not have work enough to occupy them more than an hour a day.' Then there is a great deal of non sense about the talk y of skiflet Ubor in the departments and the confusion that would follow an attempt to sup ply the place of experienced darks with new men. The average Work required m the Government service is purely of a mechanical nature. Tbe average talent ia the Govern ment offices is low. No men of the right sort would take clerkships' in the departments. They are positions of inferiority which teach nothing and lead to nothing. There is1 no doubt but that, with the retention of two or three of the beat clerks in each division of the departments, , hew men could be employed to an advantage throughout -the remaining places iit the services.

While not admitting that he was in th h ast posted on the members of President-elect Cleveland's Cabi net, jjfr. Hendricks said he believed that he Southern States should be represented- among the President's advisers- He had received letters t rom jjjsouthern gentlemen, who had suggfested the proprietyof leaving out tiie South in the selection of the Cabinet To these epistles he had replied, and in his replies he had ex- J a""at ai ' pressea me ' opinion mat sucn a course would be a virtual admission that I the statesmen of tbe South were not qualified for the Cabinet positions, an admission that was wholly unwarranted.' CHAACTEB OT O0VEBN0B CLEVELAND. Mr, Hendricks laughed over -the current report that his meeting- with Governor Cleveland bad not been of the most . rjleas&nt o.hn.nurir 1 He iaid lie had no intention of interfer ing with any of the President's pur poses1 politically or otht rwise. Mr. Cleveland he had regarded as a most decided-character, but this impres sion was gained more from his record as Governor of New York than from peisonal . interviews. Bof erring to the President-elect's letter pn the civil service laws, Mr.- Hendricks said be believed that the removal of the intensely partisan office-holders (and offensive partisanship) is given as a cause for removal by Governor Cleveland)' would satisfy the- demo crats and keep the President busy for some time in filling the vacancies. Mr; Hendricks thought that Mr. Blaiae had made a mistake 'in dis- missirjg his libel suit against the Ia dianabolis' 8entinel on tbe ground that he could not secure justice at the hands of a jury in Indiana. He uuuinea uiac ii wouia nave oeen Dec ter i the case had been dismissed without such reflections on the peo- pie.oj. inaians. . leasaro ol Imagination . ; Potr tutor ' Know ye what I do whea l hunger have?

BATABD'S LACK Or EXPERIENCE. Mr. Byai d said his object had been to avoid the waste of time that would come of results that were not ! prac tical. There was not a word of what he said suggestive of the idea that questions ehonld not be debated con temporaneously in both houses. ' An early result, however, seemed to him more probabable if the result to be reached in the House was not antag onized in advance by the passage in the Senate of a bill totally dissim ilar from the : House bill. He was Limself desirous that action should be taken and a result reached on thesubjecft - - J "... Regarding Mr." Ingalls' references to the suspicions' entertained of the Senate, Mr. Bayard said: "Mr. President, I . do not know how it feels to be suspected. So far in my life I have not suffered from that I do not know how far the Senate of the United States is suspected, for if it has members open to suspicion they are not those of my association, and certainly I do not feel myself; to be one of the number. " I am perfectly indifferent to Buch suspicions, if they exist- I do not think they do." '' Mr Bayard added, later: 'rlt is my good fortune, sir, to be able to deal with public questions with great. frankness, and with great disregard Of suspicions from any quarter."!
