A FIRM HAND AT TUE HELM. Speciat Dispatch 10 The Tribune, Wasameroy, D. C., March 4.—The inaugural address of the new President has been nearly completed, and there arc not likely to be any considerable chenzes, There is good reason to believe that it is in every respect in harmony with his letter of acceptance. The Southern question is the one to which chief attention is directed, and it recelves that broad and eatholic treatment which bas characterized every utter- ance of President Hayes siuce the nomination in Cinciunati. The Southern peopie are to be made to feel that they are apart of the great American Republic, and to this end they are to be aided inthe establish- ment of honest and economical local govern- ments. W extending lhearty co-operation and good will. there is to be exacted, in faith- ful observauce of the Thirteenth, Fourtcenth, and Fitteenth Amendments, ihe securing to the freedmen of all civil rignts, protection of tife and property, and freedom of the ballot, without risk of discharge from employment. Educationis to be encourazed as the true found- ation of good Government. To emphasize this policy to the world, A PROMINENT SOUTHERNER is to be a memver of the Cabiuet. It is not the purpose of the new Administration to disturb the status quo in South Carolina and Louisizua at present. Ample time is to be taken to make a thorough examination of the situation in those States with a view to make such a settle- ment asshall be based on law and justice, and shall preserve the peace of the States and advance the interest of both classes of citizens, To carry this out, the efforts of the new Cabinet will be directed immediately,rather than to filling offices. Those citizens anxious to take the places of oflice- holders will, therefore, take notice and save themselves the expense of coming to Washing- ton at present. President Hayes has unquestionably decided upon A FORWARD POLICY for the government of his Administration. He regards the platform upon which he was nomi- nated and his letter of acceptance as documents that “mean what tney say, and be bas decided the principles thercin announced in good faith and to the full estent of bis ability. He has shown, since his arrival here, that he has a firmuess of purpose from which he cannot be moved to any extent. There bave been some slight changes in the programme as to his Cabinet, but strength and fitness have been kept steadily in view, and its probable composition shows that the great interests of the country and the upbuilding of the Republican party upon deep, and broad, and enduring foundations are considerations by which he is to be govern- cd. The ereat couscience of the country, in the highest sense, he will earnesty try to serve, and to this purpose all. other considerations will be beid as of no controlling consequence. That kind of service which the country has been de- mavding, and which all partics have professed to favor, he will endeavor to render not in theory but practically, . TRUE REZORM L he will sustain,—first., in the abstract, and, sec- ond, in the execution. In regard to the South, he will bury the bloody-shirt, provided that sea- tion will in good faith attend the funeral and assist in the interment. This is not to be un- derstood a5 implying a sacriflce of any princi- ple. oras placing in jeopardy the just rights of any class of citizens. These, in all cases and everywhere, are o be honestly énforced and fairly respected. The South -is 10 have full opportunity to participate in the Govern- ment upon £air and equal terms, and, if it -fails to profitably avail itself of this opportunity, it alone, and not Hayes' Administration, will -be responsible. As an earnest of the President's houest purpose, DAVID M'KENDREE EEY, late United States Senator from Tennessee, hag been tendered a seat in the Cabinet, and in such wayas not to sacritice his Lionor. or in any way to compromise him. He voted against Hayes:and served fn the Senate as a Democrat, though not in fall accord with that party. Neither is he in fall accord with the Republican - party,-but he will aet, if he enters the Cabinet, in good faith to promote the vital interests of the South and the whole country, and secure lasting and ‘solid’ reconciliation upon the basis of the Constitution and Jaws as they staud. = OTHER CABINET OFPICERS, will be pronounced Republicans of the highest class.. It is known that five Cablnet ‘officers have at this time becn definitely determined upon, viz.: William M. Evarts, Secretary of State; John Sherman, Sccretary of the Treas- ury; Carl Schurz, Sceretaryof the Interior; David M. Key, Postmaster-General; George W. McCrary, of Iows, position not definitely fixed, but it will be Attorney-General unless Gen. Harlan, of Kentucky, shall bave a Cabinet position. For New England, Gov. Rice, of Mas- sachusetts; Mr. Frye. of Maine; and Mr. For bes, of Boston, are under cousideration, but it is Qoubtful whether 2 final decision will be reached to-nigt. lu case Gen. Harlan is not selected, it is generally undersrtood that EX-SECRETARY BRISTOW will be appointed Supreme Judge to fill the va- cancy caused by the resiguution of Justice Davis, aud even if Hurlan shull be chosen it is not unlikely that Bristow will still be tendered the place. It is probable thut the President had fully decided to tender a position to Hurlan until 1t seemed to be advisable to appuint Key from the farther South,and it is not known that his purpose bas been changed at this writing, President Hayes is making up his Cabinet in a very sersible fushion. He came here "with pretty decided opinions and preterences of his own: but, at the sane time, with & serious con- viction that there weren good many Republic- ans of rrummcnce whose views it was indis- pensable that he should bave to guide him to a more final decision. Acting on this convie- tion, he has taken counsel with a num- ber of leading Scnators oud Representatives, not showing them any mude-up slate, and ask- ing their eriticisms _upon 1t as a whole, but ob- taiuing by frank talk their ideus on the charac- ter, ability, and_availability of the men hie baa inhismi He has, hesides, listened attentively to a great deal of volunteer-counsel, and has not even sourht to escave the unwelcome visitations of delegations bent upon pushing the claims of certal nbitious politicians. The result of the thought and investigation given to the subject bas ueen, there is reason to believe, to confirm the President in his previous views as to the kind of selcetions he ought to make. The Presi- dent was strougly inclined tooffer & position to Gen. Juseph E. Joinston, and talked a rood deal to-day with his int‘mate counselors on the expediency of this selection. Mr. Evarts is without doubt to be TIE HEAD OF TOE CABINET. The only opposition to his appointment has come from Scnator Conkling, who, while not openly opposing him, hizs_doue so indirectly by ressing Representative Platt for the place of Postiaster-General. O course New York could not have two of the seven Cabinet posi- tions, and the effort on Conkling’s part to put Platt’ in as lis persoual representative was Tecognized as tantamount to hostility to Evarts, Last” mght Stewart Woudford went to see Mr. fayes, at Conkling’s sugwestion, it would appear, and, in 2 private interview, pre- srnted the e indorsing Platt, rigned by the New York delegation, and warmly urged Piatt’s appointment. The missfon was not a success- ful one, as was obvious luter fn the night from Congling’s countevance when the result was reported to bim in the Senate. Al the points the distinguished New York Senator has been trving to make in counection with the Cabinet were, it seems, doomed to failure. He favors Judze Setile as the Southern selection, and, it is said, indorsed George C. Gorhaw, Secretary of the Senate, as a representative of the Padite coast. CARL SCHORZ. A most striking exemplitication of the truth of the aduge that *‘Time ut last makes all things even,” is likely to be afforded by the choice of Carl Schurz for either the Interior or the Post-Otlice Department. It is only five years ago that Schurz was thrust cut of the Re- bublican party with contumely for darine to dif- fer with the arrogant Administration, and now hie is to be installed in the very front rauk of its leaders. ‘Fhe meu wno ttien assuiled him most vehemently have eitner dropped- oat of public life or are fast losing their hoid upon the con- fidence of their party. Gen. Schurz is under- stood to De, with Mr, Evarts and Senator Sher- man, the cspecial choice of the President him- self, who has a hearcy adimiration for hus saga- «city, courage, and uprightoess. The only mem- ber of Grunt’s Cabinet who is endeavoring through the urgent solicitations of his friends to retaiu his position is DON CAMERON. He and his father, the Scuator, have been vers hetive in orgauizing all the iutluences that would_be likely to persuade the President to fuvite him to continue at the head of the War Department. Yesterday afternoon all tue Penn- sylvania Republican members of the explring Cougress, and those elected to the new Con- gress, proceeded in & body to.Senator Sherman’s house ‘and called upon Huyes. They madea formdable urray when mussed in the little parlors of the modest mansion on Franklin square. where the hopes of so many ambitious men now centre. Judge Kelley, who is by no meuns an enthusiastic Cameron” man, acted as spokesman, and delivered a neat little specch praising Peunsyivania a great deal and the See- retary of War alittle. He was followed by Kil- linger, Packard, and Commissioner of Agricul- ture Watts. ‘The President dosed the interview by politely assuring them that their views should kave his serivus _consideration. If any Pennsvlvania man is taken, it will be Wayne MeVeagh. A union upon bim of the Pennsyl vanin intiuences would probably secure his ap- pointment, but the Caneron men are bound to have their favorite or nobudy. MORE PRESSURE. To-morrow M. S. May, Sccretary of the Com- monwealth, will be here with a petition for Cameron sigued by the members of the Pennsylvania delezation to Cincinnati who ~ voted for Hayes on the final ballot. .At the same time a member of the State Senate will come on with an- other petition_signed by the Republican mem- bers of the Lez ¢. Notwithstanding all this pressure in one civection the President has Dot been left in ignorance of the fact that there is alarge element.in the party i Pennsslvania, and the best clement too, that does not want ‘Cameron reappointed. A FINE RECORD. Ex-Senator David M. Key, of Tennessee, is a native of Greene County, of that Stute, the connty seat of which is Greenville, the home of Andréw Johuson. Mr. Keyis 54 years old, a lawyer by profession, and ranks in East Ten- nessee ainoug the ublest. From 1570 and up to his appuintment in 1875, by Gov. Porter; of Ten- uessee, to fill the vacancy caused by the deatof Andrew Johnson, Mr. Key presided us Chancel- lor of the' Chattanvoga Circuit. He is not & politician in & party sense, but u broad, liberal, navional statesman. . During the War be com- manded a Confederate regiment raised in East Teunessee, and made a splendid soldier. So elevated is his character that, in the recent elec- tion of United States Scnator, every member trom Bast Tenuessee in the Legislature, in- cluding eighteen Republicans and ten Nemocrats, voted for him, and were earnest in their efforts to secure bis election. The lib- cral Demoerats and ex-Confederate soldiers in other parts of the State also supported him. Of the 100 members constituting the Legislature of the State. Judge Key received 45 votes, of which 21 were Republicans and 24 Democrats. But Judge Key's npfiuncms appealed to !{mrty passion, and cifectually aroused it on his (Rey’s) speezh delivered in the Senate, in which he COV_EMNED THE CRONIN FRAUD. As an index to the public and private charae- ter of Scnator Key, the following extract from his speech_on _the Oregon question, delivered Dec. 13, 1876, in the Senate, will be read with interest: Siz: Itis time that we become infused with more of charity which thinketh no evil and fs kind. It is time that we should have that con- fidence which would allow us o repose trust in each other. It is time for us to make our Government one of law instead of force. Itis time that oifenders be tried and puaizhied, and not those who are innocent. The wicked skould Ve condemned, and not communities or States be- cause \icked men are in them. In regard tothe Presidential candidates, Sena- tor Key, in the ssme speech, said: Before the people in my own State, in the can- vass Intely ended. 1 on _all occassions indorved the candidatcs of the Repaolican party us patriotic and lhonest men of whoin any party or country might Ve justly proud. ALRFADY SELECTED. 70 the Western Associated Press, Wasnivoeros, D. C., Marcn 4.—Prominent friends of President Hayes assert to-night that the Cabinet has already been sclected, and is Known only to one or iwo intimate fricnds of the President. .1t is believed that the scleetion was made oefore he left Columbus, and, not- withstanding earncst efforts to secare_appoint- ments since nis arrival here, the incoming Presi- dent has yielded to no solicitation to appoint others than those de:dded upon. 3 i THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS is the subject of discussion to-night. An im- ression prevails, and 18 not unworthy of cre- ence, tirat the‘document will be brief, and that it will hot differ matenally from the sentiments expressed in the letter of acceptance of Gor. Hayes. JUSTICE DAVIS will appear with his assoclates of the Supreme Courlu‘tl n;lnl hmbusgumiuln ceremonies to-mor- row, and will subseéquently resign to President Hayes his office as sth{te Bl u’s:v.lue. ADMONITION FROM RELIARLE SOUHCE: Speclal Dispatch to The Tribu ‘WasmiNGroy, D. C., Maren 4.—Yesterday Gov. Hayes received 2 postal card on which was written, xodus, xviii.,, 21-28."” There was uo signature, and the post-mark could not be maae out. The. text, however, will be recog- nized as thoroughly appropriate, and the person sending it can have the satisfaction of knowing thut it received full attention. Some of the friends of the Governor who think they have a pretty clear idea of what his policy is to be, declare thut the three verses thus indicated well foreshadows it: 21. Moreover, thou shalt provide out of all the ge&xfile able men, euch as fear God, men of truth, Ating covetousness, and place such over them to be rulers of thousands and rulers of hundreds, ralers of fifties and rulers of tens. 22. And let them judge the people at all season: and it shall be thut every groat matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall Judee. So shall it be easier for thyself, and tney sLall bear the burden with thee. - 1f thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee o, then thou uhalt be adle to endure, and all this people shall alsobe able to go to their place in peace. THE OATH. WHERE AND NOW 1T WAS TAKEN. Spectal Dirpaich to The Triduza. ‘WasnmiNaron, D. C. March 4.—Gov. Hayes wos sworn in last night as President of the United States at 7:30 o'clock in the private reception room of Mrs. Grant, koown as the “red purlor.” For wmauy rcasons it was deemed advisable by the counselors of the President-elect that the oath of office should be administered yesterday. The same reasons made it seem necessary that the proceeding should be temporarily kept secret, and cven now there are few persons in Washington who are absolutaly certain that the event occurred. Gov. Hayes and Mrs. Hayes, and Senator and Mrs. Sherman arrived at the White Iouse yes- terday evening to attend the state dioner at 7 minutes before 7 o'clock. At 7:20 THE OATH WAS ADMINISTEKED in the ““red parlor” by the Hon. Morrisoh R. ‘Waite, Chiefl Justice of the United States. The only persous present were President Grant and Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State, as witnesses, Gov. Hayes and Chief Justice Waite. The cere- mony was conducted so quietly and secretly that but very few of the persons present at the state dinner kuew the fact, and it has been by most of them stoutly denied. SENATOR SHERMAN, who was supposed to be the oracle upon the subject, was approached by many persons early this morning, who asked permission to be pres- ent at the supposed ceremony today. To all inquiries he gave the uniform reply that there would be 1o oath adsministered to-day, and the usual ceremonies of fnsuguration would take place to-morrow. This answerwas true, and few supposed that a preliminary oath had al- ready been administered. The oath was ad- ministered in the centre of the room neara table. The ceremony was performed by the up- lifted hang, NO BIBLE BLING USED. At the conclusion of the ceremony the Presi- dent-clect ana the Chict-Justice both signed the engrossed oath, which, it is understood, was conflded to the custody of the Secretary of State. The ceremony oceupied but a few mo- ments, and, when it was ended, the Presidential piirty mingled with the other guests, who had scarcely noticed their absence. The ‘“red parlor” will become historical in American an- nals. It is a room on the west side of the ground floor of the White Ilouse, thirty by twentyfeet, used as Mrs. Grant’s private recep- tion room and as the femily parlor. Visitors tothe White House are not generally admizted to THIS ROOM. 1t is situated immediately between the state dinfng-room and the noted * blue room,” with both of which it couneets. The room has re- cently been newly finished in the style known as ‘‘the English version of Queen Anne.” There are many ornaments about the room which suseest interesting historical reminis- cences. On the mantel-piece there is a large gilt clock, with an {illustration of the residence of Franklin at the suburban retreat of Passy, near Paris. Beside it are two rare vascs. A notable feature'of the reom is a large electrotyoe copy of the famous Milton shicld, modeled by Morel, the original of which is in repousse work in iron, gold, and silver. It was purchased by Mrs. Grant at the Centenninl. Thereis a curious large gilt Aus- trion fire scene with a worsted centre-picee. There are two small Japauese cabinets, the gift of the Japanese Minster. AT THE TIME OF ADMINISTERING TIE OATH the room was profusely decorated with flowers, and the table in the centre holding *“The Goethe and Schiller Gallery ” was 8o coverered by flow- ers that it was scarcely possible to find room to sign the oath.

C., March 4.—Oflicial prepa- rations of all kinds are completcd for the im- posing cercmonics of to-morrow. The first principal ceremony belonging to the occasion, the swearing in of the new Presidet, is slready consummated, This fact, which until to-day was a profound secret, wus accomplished at the Executive Mansion between the hours of 7and 8 o'clock last evening.. ‘The ceremony was a mat- ter of some diseussion between the Chicf Justice of the United States Supreme Court, the Presi- dent-clect, the Attorney-General, and a very few prominent friends of Gov. Hayes, and the conclusion was reached that such a course was advisable, though it was not an- ticipated that an exigency would arise under which, in case there was un interreznum in the Exccutive office, THE PEACE OF TOE COUNTRY WOULD BE IM- PERILED. It was, therefore, determined by Govs Haves, acting under the advice of his friends, to take the oatn of office yesterday, and, consequently, the obligation was taken before Chief-Justice Waite af the bour mentioned. The ceremony was of the very quictest nature, the only per- sons present being the Chiet Justice, who ad- ministered the outh, and_the President-clect, who subscribed thereto. It was taken in the Red Parlor of the Execative Mausion, an apart- ment in which all diplomatic and {mportant ceremonies are conducted. YESTERDAY AND TO-DAY. THE OFFICIAL CEREMONIES. Wasmxeros, D.

T3 LAST SESSIONS. &pectal Dispasch to The Tribune. ‘WasmINGTON, D. (.., March 4.—The last night gessiou of the House of Representatives began at 9 o'dock on Saturday evenivg with full chalrs and crowded gulleries. The audience was uot a distinguished one, 23 Washington sudi- ences go, but it was a very attentive one, and sat through the early hours of the night, with extraordinary patience cousidering the uninter- esting character of most of the proceedings. The unfortunate people whose misfortane it has been to do so much standing around in the tri- angular spaces behind the members’ desk in the last month were also out in full force, and among them were at least o hundred unfedzed Representatives who will occupy seats in the next Congress, and who bave come to Wash- ington to sight the inauguration and *get the hang of things” in advance. ONE OF THE MOST REMARKARLE THINGS about the session that has just closed, and, indeed, of the whoie Congress, has been tne almost total failure to perfect, or even to pro- pose, important measures of legislation. The first, being a Presidential session, was not ex- pected to be prolific of anything but political schemes. The unprecedented mania for inves- tigation, and the long wrangle over the Appro- priation bills, occupicd €0 much of the time of the Committees, as well as of the House, and the inexperience of a majority of the members, mnade that session more barren of tangible re- sults even thau such sessions generally are, and left VERY LITTLE BUSINESS in o shape to be taken up and disposed of this winter. But, no matter what shape the work of Congress might have been in, the excitement of the Presidentisl controversy wonld have pre- vented it from receiving attention @uring the late session. It was not strange, therefore, that, oo the last night of the Congress, very few but private bills (except those making appropria- tions for the current expenses of the Govern- ment) remained to be acted upon. FIXING THINGS. Early in the evening the Liennial proposition’ to amend'the rules fn order to gain some polit- ical advaritage fo the nest Congress was brougit forward. Four years ago it was the Republic- ans who desired so to amend the rules as to place it in the power of less than two-thirds to suspend and pass political meas- ures under whip aud spur, and without debate. ‘The Republicans there saw their lurze majority, by the aid of which they had been able to carry all their political measures 1 spitoof the pro- tests of the Democrats and the rales enacted for the protection of the minority, and they very naturally desired to secure & new lease of that power. The Democrats were then thrown into a state’ of the greatest excitement, and, under the lead of the late James Brooks, de- feated the proposed amendment. THIS TIME it was the Democrats who desired to make pro- vision for anticipated trouble in the next Con- gress. The amendment was reported by Sayler, and provided that, pending the election of a Speaker of the House, and when the Clerk of the last Honse Is acting as presiding officer, the Seracant-at-Arms shall be in attendance, and, under the direction of the Clerk, shall preserve order. The Republicans were very suspicious that the Democrats iatended to get some unfair advantage of them by this change of the rules during the time when the contest for the Speak- ership is zoiug on, and opposed it with much determination. THE AMENDMENT WAS CARRIED in spite of the refusal of the Republicans to vote, their objcct Leing to break the quorum. While the rules of the last House were not binding upon the next, unless accepted by it, the adoption of a new one now. puts it in the vower of the meagre Democratic majority which will gather in the House at the beginning of the next session to accept this new rule, which they could not then enact, and to place 2 large force of Deputy Scrgeants-at-Arms in the House of Representatives on the first day of the next session of Couogress under the direction of the Clerk, to be used in his dis- crction for the preservation of order. In view of the fact that the parties will be very evenly balanced in the next House of Representatives, and that the RepubMcans, in spite of 2 small Democratic majority, still hope to elect their candidate for the Speakership, this amesdment to the rules may have a very important in- fluence on that contest. THE PRESSGRE OF PRIVATE BILLS for recognition was greater than usual, even for the last uight of o session, and the number of them passed daring the closing twenty-four Lours was greater than during the whole of the winter before. Nobody knew what was in these bills. Many of them had never been reported by the Committee, and generally they had to be avcepted, if at all, on the assurances of their movers that they were proper bills to pass. On the whole, Speaker Randall preserved very good order. He could not prevent fifty or one hundred men from coustantly eathering in the area immediately in front of the presiding of- ficer, aud, with upturned faces and extended arms, demanding recognition at the top of their voices, but he repeatedly drove them to their seats and suspended the business of the House until they took them. Daring the whole time HOLMAN rarely left his seat, and his unfailing objection was heard 1o every messure which he did not understand. . Those objections had a cash valne, every onc of them. They puts veto on jobs ‘without number, and saved thousands, per- haps millions, of dollars to the Treasury. Now and then'some bill would receive the requisite two-thirds vote by which the rules counld be sus- pendzdand the meusure passed inspite of all objections, but these instances were compara- tively few. In most cases the . objection was sufiicient to kill the: bill. "The first Conference Committee on-the Legislative, Executiye, and Judicial appropriation- bill agreed on all points except in regard to - . .. - THE SALARY OF THE PRESIDENT of the United States. The House had,in its Daily Teibune. PRICE FIVE CENTS. original bill, reduced this salary from $50,000 to $25,000 a year, the rate at which it was fixed by law before the passage of the ‘“salary-grab,” four years ago. On this matter they could not agree. The sabject was brought beforé the House early Saturday, and that body voted, by a very large majority, to insist on the reduce tion. TWO MORE CONPERENCES were apoointed, but their differences were frrec- oncilable, and, at balf-past 1 this morning, Holman reported -that, unless the Honse re- ceded, the bill would fail. ‘The fact was then brought out that'the Honse would certainly not carry its point if it insisted on the reduction and allowed thebill to be defeated. If mo act ‘Was passed before 13 ‘o’clock to-day changing thg President’s salary, it would have to remain 88 it now is until the close of President Hayes” term. Patin this iight, it was seen that the House was powerless in the premises, except to exhiblt its petty spite, and it surrendered with good grace. 4 " ABOUT THE COOLYST THING DOXE during the nieht session was the request of G. Wiley Wells, of Mississippi, that the House should suspeud the rules and pass a bill refand- ing the cottontax. The sum which it was thus * proposed to appropriate was only $6S,000,000. Very few of the members voted for it. When it 'was discovered, at about$ o'clock Sunday morn- ing, that all of the . appropriation. bills except that for the army were in good conditlon and likely to be passed, and that a contanvous ses~ sion would not facilitate an adgreement on that, HOLMAN MOVED A RECESS. Some of the members, thinking there was still & chance for their private bills, opposed this mo- tion anu postponed it for balf an hoar, and then at half past 2 the Honse suspended its ses- sion until 8 o’clock this morning. - AT 8 O'CLOCK SUNDAY MORNING. “ Barely fifty members of the House appeared. in their places at the expiration of the recess this morning, and even these showea the effects of the recent late sessions in their pale and hag- gard countenances. The galleries, too, were unoccupied, and about half a dozen strangers wandered about in o lonely manner upon the floor. The few Representatives who were on hand apparently came in the hopeof getting some of the privatc bills in which they were espeially interested agreed to ny the House be- fore the more important business of the morn-~ ing was taken uo. But Holman, of Indiaua, was in his customary place, and put the veto of his objection upon any legislatlon whatever. A few minutes later TE LEFT THE HALL for the purpose of attending a Conference Com- mittee, and then almost every Representative in the Chamber immediately sprang to his fect ana demanded the recognition of the Speaker. At this juncture, Eden, of Illinois, arose in his place and objected to the consideration of sev- eral bills in succession, and jn explanation of his conduct he said that he had promised Hol- man beforethe latter went ontthat, during his absence, he would allow no measare to be con- sidered. Several members indignantly asked it Holman was to be allowed to stand in the wiy of the public business, aud it was suggested, that = committee be appointed to wait upon the gentleman from Indiana and OBTAIN HIS PERMISSION THAT LEGISLATION AGHT PROCEED! Finding that nothing could be accomplished, a recess was taken until half-past 10 o’clock. Soon after, Speaker Randall called the House to or- der the .second time, placed Cox in the chair, and temporarily left the Chamber. . DESERVED COMPLIMENTS. Then Banks, of Massachusetts, having been recognized, presented, with- some very com- plimentary and highly appropriste remarks, the ‘customary resolution expressing the ob- ligations of the House to the Speaker and its appreciation of his uniform courtesy and the fairness with which he had presided. Banks re- ferred to the exciting scenes of the present session, and the difficulties and perplexities Which surrounded the Speaker, and paid a very high compliment to Randall for the ability and impartiality with which he had performed his duties. Holman seconded the resolntion, and added his teéstimony to that of Bauks, and was followed by Wilsom, of Iowa, one of the best parliamentarians in the House, who reminded the minority that no assistance of the Speaker cculd compensate for the want of votes, and calling their atten- tion to the fact that Randall had borne himself with great honor during the heated controversy of the late session. When the resolution was put to the House the votein the affirmative scemned to be unanimous on both sides of the Chamber, but when those voting in the nega- tive were called for ome loma solitary “No” was heard from the Democratic side, which seemed to come from the vicinity of Beebe's seat. ON THE REASSEMBLING OF THE HOUSE, at half-past 10, it was apparent that all the ne- cessary legislation would be completed In the re- mainiug hour and a half except the Army bill, but the private reports from the third Confer- ence Committee on that bill were not of anen- couraging character. A few minutes later At~ kins, the chief manager on the part of the House, reported the disagreement, and, in a short speech, asserted that the Committee was unable to make a compromisc even on 50 small a mat~ ter as reducing the salary of the General of the Army. On the question of a reduction of the force, and of the omission of THE FIPTH SECTION of the bill (relating to the use of troops in sus- taining State Governments), he said that the two Houses were absolutely unable to find any basis of agreement. For himself he wonld not yield one iota. He would insist that the army should be reduced below 20,000, =nd that the fifth section should remainin the bill, and if the Senate would pot agree to that, they might defeat the bill and make an extra session necessary if they dared. 5 CHARLES POSTER, a Republican member of the Conference Com- mittee, sald that he believed that a compromise conld be made on every question involved in the Army bill except thatof the fifth section. ‘Without speaking by authority, or undertaking to represent anybody, he wished to call the at~ tention of the House to the many evidences now existing that the policy of the future Ad- ministration would be exactly in the line of this fifth section, and declared that the Democrats need have no earthiy apprehension that Presi- dent Hayes wauld use the troops in any manner to which they objected. He appealed to the House to accept these assurances and allow the bill to pass. Atkins was unwilling to accept any compromise, and moved that the House in- sist, and s motion was carricd by a strictly Darty vote; no division being taken. A mew Conference Committee was appointed, and im- mediately retired. . 3 THE HOUE BETWEES 10:30 AND 11:30 was spent in the transaction of unimportant business. A few private bills were passed, and. twenty or twenty-five minutes consumed in call- ing the rolf upon one of them. At11:35the fourth Cobference Committee returmed. and Morrison reported the final failure to reach an sgreement. In a brief written statement, which he sent to the Clerk’s desk to be read, he said that all points could be compromised except in regard to the fifth section of the bill, and that, AS A LAST RESORT, the Democrats hiad proposed that that section should be so moditied as simply to prevent the use of troops in establishing and maintaining in power the Packard Government in Louisiana and the Chamberlain Government in South Carolina. He demanded that the House inslst and ask for no farther conference. Foster of- fered a resolution which, was read for informa-~ tioh, providing that there should be: appropriated {or fhe use of the army for the first aix months
