SPEAKER!” THE IMPORTANCD OF THE OLYNPIAN NOD. einectal Diapatch to The Triduna. ‘Wasurnaton, D. C., April 18,—There fs much interest felt in all political circles regarding tha course which Speaker Randall may pursus to- morrow fo recognizing membors, It depends wholly upon the Speaker which members of the Matue delegation shall be recognized, for, since the fouudation of theGovernment, it has been the rule that the States shall by called for bills in order, commencing with the State of Maine, ‘The inflationists have cndeavored to lave this rulo changed this session, so that the States shall bo called in thelr alphabetical order, but that proposition has not yet been entertained. Maine will fret be called, but it is uot certain which of its members the Speaker will first recognize, The Represontatives from tho first throo dis tricts aro Republicans,—namely, Recd, First, Frye, Second, and Lyndacy, Third. The Repre- sentatives from the two remaining districta aro Greeubackers,—Ladil and Murch. An exatnina- tlon of the records of the last thrac Congreases shows that Frye, of Maino, has been tho flrat person recognized to Introduce bills. THI8 RECOGNITION is dua, chiefly, to the fact that hols the ‘ dean,” in point of service, of the Maine delegation, al- though representing the Sccond District. it fa scarcely probable that the Speaker will recognize Murch or Ladd first. Such recognition would be contrary to all precedent, and could have no other fnterpretation than that Speaker Randall himeclt had surrendored to the Greenbackers. Should any of the three Repub- eon members be first recognized, {t would bo possible for them either to have SOME VERY LONG DILL read to consume the morning hour, or to pro- sent, at the request of their friends, a vast ntm- ber of bills, If, on the contrary, the Grecen- backers should be recosulzcd, their bills would not, af a matter of course, go to the Banking or Curroncy Commnittes {n the morning hour, as it is possible for the Républicans to flll- buster out’ the timo of the morn- ing hour by moving to refer any Greenback bill tof various consmittecs,—tue Comunittce on Manufactures, for instance,—ns the most suitable Committee, and upon every motion ‘for reference, although no debato is to order, a rofl-call can be demanded. ‘Thero are hard-money men enough Yo secure two roil- calls, and thesc \ WOULD CONSUME THY MORNING SOUR. Whilo the Speaker has not Indicated what his course will be, there Js not much probability that the intlationists can cet any of their ineasures referred to the Committee to-morrow, unless the Republicans shall decide thut it ts more to the party interest that those wild schemes should be presented by the Deimocrats, aud their full plavs be thas doyeloped.

Nu uction was taken on any subject. ‘Tha principal object of the caucus was to com~ pare notes as to the situation of the Army bill in the Senate, und " especially as to the attituda of the It Js evident that there are apprehonatons on the part of some Republican Senators that the Pres- dent imay approve the Army bill, Gen, Gare field's admission In the House that 9 bil might be passed containing the objectionable featurcs of tho Army bill ay asoparate measure, has dono much to create alarm: ainong Republicans who think that Gartlotd may in some sense have had authority from the Prosfdent to make such astatement. Those who have the best means of Information, however, say thera fe no possl- blo doubt that the President will veto the Army Dill fu its present shape. . A LONG DENATE. Tho consultation of Republican Senators yes- terday showed that the debate on the political legislation of both the Appropriation bills will be exhaustive. ‘Thu object of the Republicans ‘wil be to attack the Dem: at overy point, aud wage aggressive war, There were some who expressed double that the President would sign the Army bill, but theso originated with those who have constantly been classed as anti- Administration Senators, uni thefr tals appears tu be moro particularly for the purpose of ereatiug an impression that the President is wavering and needa to be strengthened by a formidable display of Republican solidity, But, untess the President's nearest friends aro wholly anistakon, the Proaldont $s as decided iu appost- tion to all portions of the ponding political leg- jalation as any member of the Seuute or House. PROMOTIONS. HOPE YOR TUE OFFICES Spectat Dispatch to The Tribune. Wasiuxaton, D. C., April 13,—Thero ie great auxlety among army officers at the actlon of the Bonate on the subject of promotions. In tho Jost Army At prorfiation bill thero was a clause providing that, from that date, there should be no promotions in the army until aftor the re- port of the Burnside Jolnt Committco haa been made ond acted upon by Congress, The Joint Committee made their report to Congress, but thero was no actlon theroupon by Congress, and the reorganization project fell through, and the Forty-Alty Congress expired of its own Imita- tions, In the meantime, under the operation of the law, certaln officers of the line and stall haye been retired, while others haye dled, ro- algned, or been dismissed {a the usual course, aud other oflicers in the ordor of senlority have deen nominated for promotion to the vacancies. TUR LEGAL, QUESTION involved is whether these promotions above tho Preetdent., MONDAY, APRIL 14, 1879, grade of First Lieutenant aro fn conflict with the provisions of the act of March 18, 1378, ‘The Judge Actyocate General holds, In effect, that the fallare of the Forty-fifth Congress to adopt or reject tha report uf the Joint Commit- teo’s action {a not within the meaning of the Jaw, and the army {a thereby tpft in statu quo as before the passage of the bitl, and that, there- fore, no existing laws are suspended; hence, the nominations for promotions, belng in accordance with existing Inws, not repealed, modifed, or altered by reason of the Forty-fifth Congress failing to adopt or reject the report, Bro proper, In conformity with the law, and should be, unless thera be apectal objections {n- terposed to particular cases, confirmed by tho Senate. ‘THE SENATE COMMITTER ON MILITARY APFAINS were at frat indieposed to regard this question in this light, but, upon reflection, considered the proposttlon should bo remitted to the Sen- ate for Its opinion and action. It has been sug- gested that the matter must of necessity vo referred to the Judiciary Committec, under the hypothesis that, being purely a question of law, the Judiciary Committee should pass upon ft. Thls is not likely to be the case, for the ronson that the Committce on Military Affatra, belng composed of members well vorsed in low, both civil and military, and as a body equally, if not more, capable of disposing of cognate questions, would naturally resent any attempt to transfer their functions and responsibility to any other Committec. Of courac, thera can nrise no ouestion as to the promotion of Sec- ond-Lieutenants, but a diversity of opinion ex- Sats ns to whether, {n the event it should bo de- termined ndversely to ‘the views of the Judge Advocate General, First-Licutenants can be pro- moted to Captaincies under the provision of See. 18, act of June 18, 1878, COINAGE, IUPGR KELLEY'S PROVORITION. Wasninoton, April 13.—Judge Kelley has prepared and will to-motrow introduce in the diouse of Representatives, under call of the Btates, if Pennsrlvania bo reached, a bill which is designed to remedy the inconveniences and longes occasioned to workmen and retail dealers by the accumulation on thelr hands of certhin denominations of ailver coinage.

Warehousemen claim that for the Inst two years they have made no money at present rates, and that the enact ment of this measure Into a law would amount toa practical confiscation of thefr property. They claim to have hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in warehouse property in Chicago, which, under the operations of this bill, would lave to bo abandoned. ‘This bill was violently pushed in the Committee ‘for some time by Granger, ‘mut, finally, without any apparent reasou, was temporarily postponed by,his own motion, This makes THE SEVENTH DILL OF THIS CHARACTER the enactment of any one‘ot which, it turus out, would result in serious crippling or the entire destruction of the particular corporation or bust- ness sought to be conttolled. Certainly, the newspaper which denonnées this kind of pro- posed legisjatton and calls attchtion to the char~ neter of it ought not to be accused of “treckless joursiblism,” and its correspondent out in jall.

The consid- gration of the motion was postponed until “Wednesday next, Tt was stated yesterday that Beuntor Tallia- forro’s Dradnage bill was ordered to a third roading rather procipitately and ina manner wholly unintenttonat by the Senate, It should have Deonstated tlibt it was the Houso bill on drainage, known a Matihews! bill, that was thua unexpectedly pushed along, Senator Joslyn moved that Talllaferro’s bill be made a spocigt order for Thureday next, .

The mo- tion prevailed. The bill was thus dragged back one step, and act down as & special order for consideration at the samé time with the Tallia- ferro bill. TOWN ORGANIZATION. Senator Bash then called up the following bill (462), which {s of especial farerest to Chicazo: A Brut for an act to amend Sec. 1 of an act to an- thorlze County Boards in counties under town- ship organization to organize certain territor: aitunted therein an a town, approved May 23, 1877, in force July 1, 1877.

ITS NEED. * Perhaps no Legislature ever met in this State which furnished amore cunclusive argument for such an amendment to the Constitution as is proposed by this resolution. The manner in whicn the business of the General Assembly is now ran divides that body into two Legisla- tures, in which every member files his bills on avery subject known to the experience or {m- agination of mankind. There arc now nearly 900 bills in the House snd 500 In the Senate. As an Inevitable result, the tm- portant business of each body {fs intolerably clayed ani abused. Of course such an amend- ment would mest with opposition by every mem- ber who {s,now so anxious to legislate for his own benefit or his great glorification in the eyes of on admiring constituency. APPROPRIATION BILLS then came on. The Blind Asylum, $48,000 for the next two years, and for additional bulidings, 80,184. ‘Then as follows: For Southern Normal Uni- versity, $15,206 per annum; for quarantine ox- penses at Calro, caused under thedirectionof the State Board of Health, $4,051; for damages on the Little Wabash River, caused by destruction of n dain $13,087. This ts divided cut among many claimants; for damages to persons acca- sloned by destruction of dams on the Tlinois River, $34,219. ‘These twonmounta were authorized by aJoint’ Cominisaion appointed by the Thirtieth General’ Assembly to inquire into the claims. For a coat of arms of the State of Illinois, to ‘be placed at Mount Vernon, $150, Bills aporopriating all these sums were or- dered ton third reading, whereupon the Senate adjourned over to 5 p.m. Monday. nousz.
