The Vice President thereupon requested the ap pointed Senator to advance and take the oath, and the new Senator, escorted j ivauBuiu, went to tne secre tary's desk, and had the oath adminis tered to him. In taking it he held up his left hand, his right arm beinff dis abled. He was afterwards introduced by Senator Ransom to many of his Dem ocratic associates. He is a talL courtlv. dignified looking gentleman of about 65 years of age. His hair, whiskers, and moustache are whit, with a strip of baldness running along: the centre of his head. He was faultlessly attired in black broadcloth. lhe resolutions offered yesterday by Senator Allen asserting the right of per sons visiting Washington to assemble peaceably and petition for redress of grievances was laid before the Senate.

A special from Frederick, Md., to the Post says: Iiesides the general excitement in the ranks of Coxeyites there was another in cident that was worthy of note, as pos sibly covering one of Browne's deep laid schemes. He calls it "issuing banners of peace' to' the men. It is likely that the Wasington authorities would term it "making an armed body of the Com monweal." The "banners of peace" are about five by Ttwelve inches, made of cotton, and printed with the legend: "Peace on Earth and Good Will Towards Men." They are neither remarkable or formidable. But the sticks on which they are carried are four foot oak clubs an inch square.and heavy enough to brain a man at a blow. In addition they are to be shod with an iron socket, ostensibly to hold'a bayonet. When 300 men are armed with these weapons, they will be a formidable body indeed. Browne may be perfectly sincere in his expressed de sire for peace, bit a willow wand would liave served as a scaff for the small sized Sa? he ha nrovided. besides being much Ipsa PTnpri;ir( than the load oftoak. The titieks were received only to-day aad if is thought that the heretofore unexplained stopover here was to allow time for their manucture. The men on picket duty are equipped with the oaks sticks. . Smallpox' Brakes up Races. Chicago, April 23.

The re port was received as a whole. uen. Liee moved that the report be laid on the table until the next rennirm as there is a difference of opinion on the subject. A. voice from Louisiana cried out: "That is the right minority report is it Gen. Underwood explained his posi tion. Louisiana wanted to call Gen, Under wood to order. Gen. Underwood stated that the re port was that of the majority of the com mittee in session last night and was their unanimous report. Louisiana again asked for Chalaron's report and the action of that part of the committee which met at New Orleans four strong and adopted the said Chala- ron s report. Gen. .Lee again moved that action on the report be postponed until the next meeting as it was long and would cause much debate. Col. John P. Hickman, of Tennessee, spoKe in advocacy of one of the new pro visions of the constitution in the report providing a salary tor lien. Moorman and his stenographer, Miss Childress, who have done so much for nothing. Gen. Underwood took up the subject again especially with reference to reve nue. He insisted that there is too much demonstration and not enough business done. "A few of U3 do "the work in the rooms at night, while we would rather be with the rest of you in the parlors. If you don't adopt some measures as in this report for raising revenue, how in the world are you going to get the revenue?" He spoke tersely and vigorously. Gen. Chalaron is his friend, and he is not op posing Gen. Chalaron, while presenting a substitute ior that gentleman s report. Gen. Lee's motion to postpone the re port was put as- a substitute but was withdrawn and renewed by another dele? gate. Gen. T. S. Waul, of Texas, who of fered the motion to postpone, made a speech in advocacy of his position. G,en. W. H.' Jackson, of Tennessee, spoke in advocacy of the report and sat down amid oheeis. Gen. Waul thought it was "the camps" in the sense that the camps sent up their contributions to the -brigades. He was interrupted by loud cries for the ques tion. He appealed to the audience and was allowed to go on. "You will regret this action at long as you live. The re port gives the general officers and then staffs too much power. I have doue my duty to you and it is now with you to decide." Gen. Underwood arjee but loud cries1 for the question stifled his voice for some time. He finally remarked that he was the only man on the committee who was in favor of the five brigades for Texas. He made a statement, correcting Gen. Waul. Gen. " Waul withdrew his substitute, and a motion by Lousiana to take up the report for consideration was lost. A motion to adopt the report was car ried. Loud cheers. Louisiana asked for a vote by camps and lost. A motion was made to take the vote by a riiing vote, and the report won and was hnaliy auar;ted. A motion was made thai t.he chair ftp point a committee on nominations for officers of the ensuing year, one man ofi the committee from each State. It was moved as an amendment that each State givs the name of its com mitteeman carried. Th,e following were nominated for said committee; "John W. Sanford, Alabama; Gen. W. H.

Chief Clerk and Stenographer, Miss Amanda Childress, of New Orleans. General second in command, Gen. W. H. Jackson, of Tenn. Invitations for the next reunion were extended by Houston, Atlanta and Rich mond. Houston was chosen. A resolution was adopted recommend ing that the Southern States mark the spots occupied by the Confederates on the Shiloh battle field and mark the po sitions of the Southern lines. A fitting ending to the fourth reunion of the United Confederate veterans and by far the greatest feature was the parade and review, followed by the lay ing of the cornerstone of B a monument to the memory of the dead of the Confed eracy to be erected in Capital park, at the head of : Twentieth street. At 4 o'clock the column wa3 formed on Avenue E and Twentieth street and, headed by a band of music from Mobile, marched steadily up Twenty-first street and across the beautiful bridge to Park avenue, where it passed in review before Gen. John B. Gordon, commander-in-chief. There were camps from all the Southern States in the line and all the surviving generals with their staffs, together with the three local mili tary companies, visiting companies from other towns the Agricultural 'and Me chanical college cadets, from Auburn, University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa) cadets, and Howard college (East Tke. cadets. A fair estimate of the nnmhpr of men in the ranks places it at 4. (100. There were innumerable carriages, and the procession was viewed by fully 35, 000 people. The column was a mile long, the veterans and sons of veterans marching in fours. Enthusiastic out bursts greeted the old battle-scarred vet erans, and many flags, relics of the "Lost Cause," were recipients of loving tributes. The bands played martial airs, the rebel veil was heard. fWs anH handkerchiefs were waved, and it was altogether a sight neyer to be forgotten. At Park avenue, the column passed between the two long rows of beautiful school girls dressed in white, each with a basket of flowers .which were handed to the battle-scared veterans and sons of the Confederacy. Passing in front of the reviewing stand, whereon was Gen. John B. Gordon, the Governors of the Estates, the representative stars and the sponsor of Camp Mardee, together with their aids, they greeted them with cheer after cheer, which, with the boominsr of cannon, playing of the bands and cheers of the multitude, made the welkin ring. It was a grand and inspiring spectacle. After the review the ceremonies at tendant upon the laying of the corner stone was gone through with in an im posing manner. Gen. Stephen D. Lee, of Mississippi, delivered the address, which was a mas terpiece of oratory. Other distinguished speakers were present, and the corner stone was placed in position in an an. propriately solemn manner by the Grand Master of Masons, Hon. Frank L. Pet- tus. Thus ended the en-eatest reunion of ex- Confederates ever known. The Confederate Veteran, published at Nashyille bv S. A. Ginninerham. was made the official organ of the United Veterans. the National. State or municipal author ities, and.if they violated the laws they ought to be punished. There was a state ment in the preamble as to "unarmed, law-abiding and peacefully?disposed, but unemployed citizens of the United State." If the Senator (Allen) meant by that to include the men who had trampled on the law and seized private property and undertaken to secure transportation to Washington by forces of arms then he (Vest) had to dissent from any such prop osition. Those who had violated the laws would- have to- abide by the consequences. "That whole is sue, he declared, "must be met riguc nere and now. We cannot for one instant hesitate or falter.

Those captured made no resistance. The number of those taken by the detachment of the Twenty-secondlreglment was 331, includ ing Gen. Hogan, Engineer Harmon and Fireman Brady. The Commonwealers were ridiculously poorly armed, only three revolvers being found. Three of the men were found to be slightly wounded, their injuries having been received in the skirmish . at Billings yesterday.

But they must learn to obey the law. If mis ingress, for one single instant, compromises the stern truth that every citizen in this country must be a law abiding citizen, we commence a crevasse in the institutions of the country which will end in a flood and in our final de struction." Senator Wolcott, 'of Colorado, said: "I am at a loss to understand the purpose of the introduction of this reso lution which changes no existing law, but seems to extend a cringing invita tion to some thousands of people, calling themselves unemployed loborers, and who, if the newspaper accounts are true, are preparing to invade this Capitol, some peaceably and on foot, some by stolen railroad trains, some by beggary, some by means furnished by others, and all of them for no useful purpose. "It is my solemn conviction that, bad as the times are, and worse as I fear they will be, there is to-day no man who sin cerely desires work for the support of himself or his family who cannot either get work or get bread for himself and his little ones. In Colorado to-day, crushed and humiliated, aa she is by the action of Congress, I venture to say that no man is starving because he cannot find either work or willing friends to help him until work can be found. I believe that the time has come when those of us who are in public life ought to begin ' to cultivate more a regard for the republican institu tions and to pander less to that miscalled portion of the labor yote, whose labor is with their throats and never with their hands. It is time that we stood for the rights of American manhood; for the right of a man to work if he wants to do so if it takes the whole army of the country to sustain him in doing it; for the right of every man to equal liberties with other men. And that means that he shall have such liberty as js not inconsistent with the equal rights of his neighbor. It is time, Mr. President, that we had the courage . to stand to gether against this socialism and popu lism and paternalism which is running riot in this country and which must end, if not cheched, in the destruction of the liberties which the laws and the Consti tution give us liberties which should be dearer to us than life itself. I am op posed to the adoption of this resolution." Senator Dolph, Republican, of Oregon, concurred with Senator Vest, and said that the preamble to the resolution was a slander upon Congress and upon the Government of the District. He also Characterized it OA ' -.a Ivintr nroamVilo " His remarks on that point were declared by Senator Allen, (but in a tone of voice probably not audible to Senator Dolph) to be "absolutely untrue." . The Tariff bill was then, dt 1 :45 o'clock, taken up and Senator Higgins, Republi can, of Delaware, delivered a speech upon the Hawaiian question. He fin ished the reading of his speech1 at 5 o'clock p. m. Senator Gray offered his proposed rule forbidding the reading of speeches in the Senate and had it referred to the Com mittee on Rules. Senator Dolph spoke on the Tariff bill. While discussing the pottery question he permitted Senator Higgins to remark that kaolin, the raw material of pottery, was kept on the dutiable list at $2 a ton. It was largely mined in Delaware, but was found to some extent in North Caro lina. Delaware, therefore, presented her respects to North Carolina and thanked her for the protection of , her kaolin beds.

The Sun's Cotton Review. New York, April 26. The Sun's cot ton review says: Cotton was 1 to 4 points higher early, but lost this and de clined 7 points, closing easy, with sales of 171,200 bales. Liverpool advanced 1 point and lost half of this and closed quiet and steady. Spot sales were 12,000 Daies at naroening but unchanged prices, Manchester was quiet. Bombay receipts for the week were 69,000 bales, against ov,wu ior me same week last year. JNew Oi leans was 1 to 6 points up at one time, but lost it and declined 3 to 6. Spot coiion nere was steady and unchanged, Sales were 530 bales for spinning. South ern spot markets were quiet, steady and unchanged. New Orleans sold 2,150 oaies, uaiveston yoO and Memphis 250, AT . i'Bw neeiis receiprs to-morrow were estimated at 1,000 to 1,200 bales, against a,yyo this day last week, and 573 last year- Galveston advices say the outlook for the crop is favorable. Georgia is progressing favorably. Silver is lower in J-iondon. One JNew York firm said: "The spot situation m tms country becomes daily stronger, statistically, although there is no spot demand of consequence. On the other hand, there is no pressure to sell, stocks at no particular point being larsre. except at New York and here everything nas been sold against contracts, and is mus protected. unless uverpool is lower to-morrow, prices here are likely i - TTTl .1 i -111 to improve, vvnetner it win be more than tempt rary will depend, of course, upon the conditions which usu ally help or. depress the market from day to day. There has been nothing so far to indicate material damage to the crop, because it is not yet in a position to be injured, except by lateness of prepara tions. It is more a question of acreage than anything else at this moment, so far as the new crop is concerned, whether we shall improve or decline. Receipts so far this week last year were 37,209, and since Friday last 22,480, with 5,000 at Brunswick, to be added on Friday, Ports receipts last year were 8,362. We estimate to-morrow a loss of 3,000 from these figures." m i m io-oay s ieatures were: A rise in Liverpool, larger spot sales there and some covering of shorts, caused an early advance here, but later on, in spite of the ngnt crop movement, 6ome Southern buying, and also some buying for local account, the market gave way. Quite a large number of May notices were issued, and there was considerable May liquida tions. Some were switching from May into later positions, out tne market lacked aggressive bull support. In fact, this afternoon houses which have been identified with the bull side were re ported to be selling.
