After a s brief discussion, 8cnator Thurman was o structed to move in open Scnate to discharge the Elcctions Cominittee from further con- sideration of the case of Butler, from South Carolina. This action was determined upon for {he reason that the Democrats arc of opinion {hat the Republican members of the Election Committee Intend to defer action upon other eleetlon cases until after that of Keliogg has been settled, aud, lnasmuch as thero s a mmni- fest inclination on the part of the Republicans indefinitelv to postpotio all nction upon the Kellopg case, the Detnocrats Intend to do thelr best to take all cases of wintest AWAY PROM TIE COMMITTER. Thecase of M. C. Butler, of South Carolina, they think [s thelr strongest one, for the reason that they confidently cxpect two Republican votes. One of theseis that of Patterson, of South Carolina; tho other, that of Conover. 1t ts sald that Butler has interested himself net- ively in the matter of the pending prosceutions of Patterson, andl that he quito expects to do tomething to secure tho dismissal of these yuits3 but whatever may he the reason, the Democrats rely upon two Reoubliean votes to seat M, C.

A DAY OF PIUVOLITY IN THE LIOVKE, Aveciul Innaiteh to The Chicasn Tribune, Wasninartoy, . C., Nov. 19.—The Parls Ex- posftion bill was very nearly shipwrecked in (he House thisafternoon through bad management. ‘The bIIL {8 not yet out of danger, for the House adjourned leaving it In the Commitice of the Whole with a number of amenaments pending, and more to he proposed. The bill was reported by Swann, Chalrman of the Foreicn Affairs Committee. lle {8 n vers respectablo old gen- tlemun, but a person entirely unfitted to be In- trusted with tho charge of any {inportant meas- ure. His volee cannot be heard threo feect from him. Mo fs somewhat deaf, and he appears to have no adequate conception of parliamentary affairs, With proper management -on the floor and n the chair it would have bean casy to have passed the Committeo's bill without amendment. As it Is, i TNE BILL 15 IN DANGER. Two amendments have already been added, ono providing that but one of the sald Commission- cre and five honorary Commissloners shall come from any one tato; a sccond, reducing the number of sclentilic cxperts to four, aud ap- pointing {n their stead four persons versed in agriculturo. [t ought never to have been neces- sary to have made this last amcudment, as the Foreign Affairs Committeo should certalnly not have committed such an oversight as to neglect to make any provision for the rep- resentution of agricutulral intercsts, Thelastat- tack made upon the bill, the one which s pend- fug unfinlshied, Is an amendment of Iannag, of Indiana, to reduce tho salary of 85,000 provided fur « Commlisstoner-General, aud of 1,000 cach provided for the twenty puld Commiesioncrs (flunkeys, llauna called them), although he could not know that they wonld not be appoints e from Indfanapolis, llanua appears to aspire to fill the place of the unregretted Holman as o master of THE ART OF PINCHING HCONOMY. In the uame of cconumy, reform, and the stalwurt sentiment of tho looslers, llmmn - sisted that these provisions should e stricken from tiae bill as o condition of his support; but he took pains to add that he would uuthorize the Hovernment to dispateh any number of v J£el5 to transport materlals for” the Exposity Llke many other new e:onomists, Hanna scem to think that it costs the Government nothing to send & vessel to Europe, while the truth is that it would mot bo ikely to cost the ! Government much less - for coal and actunl running expenses of the different ves- scls that would bo segt under his plan thanthe sum proposed to be abpropriuted In salaries to these fluukeys; besides Awmeriean {nterests would bu left without central nanugzement. Most of tho speeches of the day wer AMUAING BATHER THAN INSTRUCTIVE. Bunsct Cox's speech of course waus full of brilliant wit and humnor, and as it was directed nizainst the bill it probably lost the measure somo friends.
