If he falls to-morrow to sccure the necessary two- thirds, his bill must remain in the parlfamenta- ry stralt-Jacket of the morning lour, at least untfl auother Monday, when, if he could get the floor and the Speaker’s oye, he would bave an- other chance for a motion to suspend the rules, Ewlng himsell {s very coufldent that he will se- cure the two-thirds to-marrow, and thus escape from his dllemma. OTIIERS ARE QUITE AS CONFIDENT Ewing will be mistaken, and tha’ the measure 1s not strong cnough In the House to secure tho neceasary two-thirds to give it this ndvan- tage. If tho two-thirds are uot found to-mor- row, the bill will be in a desperate condition, as {t is certainly not gaining strength, Ewinp's Committec is not united. Members of the Committee say to-day that the wnnjority of the scven who voted for tho bill In commitiee are in favor of making no further propositions to the vpposition, and are opposed to introducing tho resolution for suspension, . THBIR PLAN 18 to keep the bill fn the morning hour, to allow it to be filibustered dafly, but to refuso to allow any other busincss to bo transacted outstde of the mornlng hour, to vote down every inotfon to take up the Ariny bill, or other Dusliless suggested by the minofity.

TIE SENATE, PRESIDENT IIAYES WAITING YOR THE PEOFLE TO BURAK, Apecial Disvaten 1o Ths Chicago Tribune, Wasmnaton, D. C., Nov. 4.—After tho clee- tlons the Republican Benators will doubtless take some decided grounds on removals mado without suy cause so far as the performance of officlal dutles aro taken in consideration. The President has made tho removals that he might appoint ofticlala who, in his opinfon, will purify the Civll 8ervice. 11 hie finds that ho Is indorsed on Tuesday by the Republicans of tho States in which elections are beld, o will peralst §n mak- {ogr these changes, but should he not e sus- tafued by the Republican mujorities, some of his friends fear that the opposition in the Benate will b so strong that ho will find it VERY DIPFICULT TO WITHSTAND, There hava been groat efforts mado within the Jast few days to force tho President to rotire from his Civil-Service position. It s certaln that the Prusident des to o rid of the ma- chine politiciana, especially of those who are seeking to dictate terms upon which they will sid tho KRepublicans at tho polls bereafter, It is evident that tho first severe fizht In the Bi:: ate will_bo over tho confirmation of the suce sor to Gen. Arthur, LALF A DOZEN BENATORS have cone to Indlanapolis to attend the funeral of Eeuator Morton, aud quite o number have Ieft for thelr respective homes to participate in the eleetion Tuosday, so that thero §s not much urobability that uny fmportant business, elther legislative or cxeculive, will be transacted by the Benate durlug the voming week, SITERMAN.

A large corral was surrounded by i high board fence, In the central part of this the scaleswere placed, the scale-beams, where the Inspectur 8tood and watched the weights, running entirely outalde of the Inclosure. A little hox waa built aronnd the scaler, large enough to hold tweive bead of cattle, with gates on both slde.
