C., Nov. 21.—This will bea memorable day fn the history of the United Btates Senate. For the flest time since March 8, 1861, upwards of sixtcen years, the Demo- cratlc Senntors. were in the majority, and the Republican Benators, who had enfoyed this long lease of power, wero fn the minority, This chango in the Scuate has been generally antle fpated for some days past, and yet many Ke- publicans could not believe it possible until they heard Viee-Presidont Wheeler announce the vote, The Scnators had been tardy fu their attendance, aud there were so few present after the presentation of the morning business that an exccutive scssion was ordered, Soon after the doors were closed Scnator Thurman arrived, and 1t was not long beforo the doars wers opened again, and ho RENUWZD 113 MOTION of yesterday, that the Committee on Privileges i GREAT EUROPBAN NOVELTY, THUNYADT JANOS.

Benator 8harom, who has not been prese ent during tbe present scssion, was, when heard trom last, englueering » speculation In the stock of the Opnir sifver mine In the San Francieco Stock Exchange, and Scnator Patter- ton was in attendauce upon the proceeding in the habens vorpus caso bused on Lis arrest on o requisition from the Governor of South Caro- lua charging him with bribery, Then there were speculntions as to whether Mr. Patterson would not vote with the Democrats on the ad- misslon of Butler, and olso as to HOW SENATOR CONOVER WOULD VOTH. The Democrats who professed to be posted declared that Patterson, Davis, and Con- over would all voto with the Demo- crats, and in thot case the Hepub- Mean majority would bo overthrown. Tho main speech of the afternoon was made by Beo- ator Ben £, of Georgia, who repented the oft- told tale In conciso snd temperate languago, paying a compliment just beforo he closed to the manner in which Mr, Corbin, who contcsta the seat with Butler, had prepared his brief. He was of the opinion that the Benators, with the briefs of Butler aud Corbin before thew, could dlsposo of the question IN ADOUT TWENTY-FIVE MINUTES, Senator Wadleigh, s Chairman of the Scnate Committes on Privileges and Elcctions, clalm- ed that the Committee should first dis- pase of the Bpofford-Kellogg case, and then tako up the Butler-Corbla case, Scnators, expecting that the Comuittes would examiugand report on the Bouth Carolina casc, had not taken the troubls to juvestigute it, and cuuld not vote intelligently upon it. Benator Hoar, after giving excelleat reasons why the Benate SUQULD NOT LB PRECIPITATED INTO A VOTS, moved to lay the resolution of Mr. Thurman on the table.

The following Republicans are relied ipon by the Demuerats “to vote with them for the coti- firmatlon of Fitzsimmons: Patterson, Conover, Christinney, and Matthews. it [s rumared that o Republican Scuator will move at on early ex- ceutive session thut the Cominittees on Comn- merce. ond the Judiclary be reaulred to fmmediately report on ~ the nowinations referred to them, or be discharged from further conslderation of the nominations. This includes the nomination of Gen. ‘Harlan to be Assoclate ' Justice, and the New York nomina- tions, Slionld this be done it will add to the excitement in the Sennte which 18 now hecom- ine very grreat fn vfew of the Democratle coup d'etat. “The new developiments in the Senate will tend to Emsmnno any attempt for an carly adjournment, as the Democrats are determined not to lose the vnnu\uie ground they appear to have, and witl press the case of the Southern Benators to an carly declslon. TILR NEPULLICAN PLAN, ‘The Republican Senators to-night have a plan which they hope may counteract the contems plated coup d'ctat of the Democrats, The Sen- ate Electlon Committee held a meeting this cvening and voted to close the testimony in the Kellogiz-dpofford case. Tho Clerk was dirccted to notify Kellogg and 8poflord thot they” will be sllowed a half hour for argument to-morrow mornfng, when the cace will ba closed. ‘The Republican major- ity of the Comumittee will undoubtedly jmme- dfately vote in favor of Kellogg, and will report the caso to tho Benate. This would he a ques- tlon of the highest privilege, o much higher privilegze than the motion of Thurnan's pend- ug to discharge the Cominittee in tho Butler case. If the Republicans do not have a tnajority to.morrow, and they succeed fu taking up thoe Kellogg caso for conslderation, they hope to be able to debate it long enough 0 GET REINFORCEMANTY, 4 80 that they can liold o majority at least of one, Telegrams” have been sent 1o Blalne to-nlght ulrllr(nz him to come if his health wiil possitly allow, ‘The contest in the Senate for to-morrow will be one of Intense futerest, ‘The Irieuda of Ben- ator Conover, of Florlda, to-night say that thut Scnator has stated sinco ndjournmentthls evening that ho shail vote for Butler's admis- slon on gcraonnl grounds, but that he will go Dack and Join the Republicans in VOTING POR KELLOUGG'S AUMISSION, It secmus to be understood that Patterson, of South Carolina, will not vote. for Hutler, but will remaln away from the Senate. This gives the Democrats practically two votes, and cxplaina why they are making thele ficat polut ol seating Butler, I the He publicans get the Kellog: case before the Sen- ate to-morrow and lay mside the further cons sideration of the South Carollua case, Demo- cratic Benators can debato the Loulsiana case for two mouths.

BOGUS REFONTS AB TO TNE PHESIDENT'S VIEWS. spectal Dispateh to The Chtcago Tridune, Wasmiseron, D, C,, Nov. 21.—Tho oo nouncement of the fact that the 8cnate ¥inanco Commttee has agreed upon a silver bill pro- viding for the remouctization of the siiver dol- lar, glving to It unlintted Jegal-tender func- tions as to all duties aud debts, including bonds and imports, has wuaturally excited much speculation as to the position of the President towards such a bill, for it appears that the Benate aud House will perfect a il upon which both csn stand, ombodylng this principle, The wost atrenuous efforts have been nado within' the Just two days to obtaln from the Presllent a statement of his views, and this afternoon dispatches were sent East ond West saying that the Pres(dent, In conver- eation with prominent ofilcials, had declared that ho . WOULD FOSITIVELY VETO ANY SILVER BILL wolch does mot expressly except pube lic debts from Its operstions. At Jeast & dozen Senators entitled to the FPres- fdent's consideration If ho should give his confldenve to any one upon such o subject have approached him this alternoon and even- fug to know whether ho would or would not veto the bill, - Thisla o very delicate subject upon which to appronch the Prestdent. Tho rules of both Houses forbid any referenco In debate to what tha President would do with re- speet to n veto, Wnd memoers semetimes have gone so far as to charuwe that it WOULR DE IMPRACHADLE for a President to attempt to Influence legisla- lation by announcing vetocs in advance, The President to-night malntalus all the retf- cence upon this subject which the rules of the two Houses require. As to tho statcmcnts re- spectiug bis futeutions, his answer to scveral Benators aud others usiformly was that it was a subject upon which he must absolutely decline to say auythiug; that it was not becoming or decorous fn himto indicate to the public in advance what his pusition might be, and that he would have to leave ail persons {nterested to DRAW THEIR INFERENCE from his past record. Tho Fresident, In short, reafirma his reply to the delegation from the New York Chamber of Comiuerco last week when uriged to veto tho bill, which was: “1 will consider thosubject when it {s presented to me,"” ‘Lhe reports respecting tho Fresident's action have been closely huuted down, and appear to have originated fu the fact that the Secretary of the Treasury {s sllered to haye stated to oue or two Benators that the President would abso- Jutely refuse to sign sy such bill as that sgreed upon by the Senate Finauce Comuittee, Tue President has been EXCEEDINULY CABEPUL in all recent utterances on this sublect. It s known that last spring and sumtner, wnea the sllver question was disvussedin the newspapers, tho President tnchined to accept the arguinents of the bil-inetullists in fuvor ol the re-eatabllsh- ment of @ double-standard mctallic curreuey, He rewarked on scveral oceaslons that be be- 1leved it the duty ol the Unlted Btates to utitize the silver it produced in its curreucy, These vicws bave led many to suppose_the President held oplufons aliilar to those of Senator Joues, of Nevads, but, as far as can be learned, the President has never sald fu public or private WUAT U4 FOSITION WOULD BE as to any biti.

A LIVELY SESSION OF TIIX HOUSE. Apectnl Dispatch to The Chicayo Tridune. Wasiinutoy, D. C., Nov. 2L.—Tbe House spent the entire day in a wrangle over the De- fictency Appropriation bill, and fnally adjourned without passing it. Tom Ewing was restless throughout the day, expecting every momecut, as for two weeks ho has done, to be able to ee- cure the foor for his much-advertised epeech on the Resumption-Repeal bill, but adjournment came, and his face still wore an anxious look. The debateon the Defleiency Lill contained sev- cral loteresting political features, The fact that the L)} was for a deficlency was of it- sell enough to enable Foster, of Ohlo, to show the utter mockery of the Democratic pretensions of reformi, In the Congress preceding thy Presdentinl campalgn the Democrats had Joud- ly boasted, and through the campalen did bonst, that they had reduced the Government appropriations $30,000,000 for that flscal year. Foster showed that the Treasury Looks for that fscal year have closed, and show upon thelr face only & TECUNICAL REDUCTION oF §10,000,000, while deficlency bills for 83,000,000 have already been approved by the Democratic Committee to reduce that fictitlous economy of §19,000,000, aml many more milifons of deflcicncy are yet to come, Thers wasa contest over the appro- priation to pay the judgments of the Cuurt of Clalms.. The Appropriations Committeo liad reporfed spceifications for the different judg. mente. It nupears that a large judgment has been rendered by the Court of Cluims in favor of tlic Unlon Pwilfic Raflroad, which the Gov- ernment. does ¥et ‘desiro to-have pald on ac. count ol & TUE UNADIUSTED DIPFERENCES between the Govermnent and the rond, This fact having been disclosed, there wasno further rerious effort to hsve the appropristion for the Judgments made in gross. Both sides feared that the Unlon Pacific might get part of any bulk sum. ‘There was an animated contest against tho Appropristions Committco by Bouthern members represcuting country dis- tricts relative to the appropriation for the country mail routes. In the Comwmittee of the Whole the Appropriations Committee was de- feated Ly 118 yeas to 71 nays. In the ouse the country membera lost thelr strengtb, meme- Lers not daring to go upon the record for an fu- crease of appropriution. BUNSET COX appeared as usual as the professlonal advocato of the laboring man, but fafled to have passed his appropriation to compensate laborers who have claims on.account of tho eight-hour sys- tem. 'This encountered much opposition, aud 1t was charged that the men wiose labor afford tho revenuo to pay tho cluht-hour men them- selves work from twelvo to fiteen hours daily.

The lirat is, that the production of tnau- utactured tobaceo for the last flscal yeor was greater than for any other fiscal year cmbraced within the reports of this office, with the single exception of the year ending June 30, 1875, The second fact Is, that o larger amount of monecy was collected from manufactured tobacco put upon the market for consumption than during any previous flscal year; and the third fact Is the Pleuhm one that'n greater quantity of ninuu- [acttired tobacew aud more cigars and cliarettes were removed directly from manufactories for exportation to foreigu countrics durihg the last year than during auy previous year of which an occount hias been kedt by the office of Internal Revenue. These resuits are belleved to be largely due to . thuse provislons of law which’ were intended to give to the Govern- ment o general controf over the movements of raw or leafl tobacco, rezulating its sale, trausfer, and shipment, ond preventing Its Uelnir acld for direct consumption without payment of any toN, and tn competition with monufactured and tax-paiil.
