THE OVENTURE, apeeiat Dispateh to The Chicago Tridune, SrrNGrIELD, (1L, Mareh 25,—The Senate convened this morning at the usual hour. Every Senator was present with the excep- tlon of Mamer, Republican, and Kelly, Dem- ocrat, Benator Secrest called p the joint resolu- tion Indorsing the Hon, Ewmery Cobb for the office of United States Commissioner of Ag- rieulture, The resolution was coneurred In, The Committee on Municipalitles pre- sented a report, recommentding the pnssnge of tha bill Hmiting the charges of telegraph cotupanies for messages of ten words be- tween pofuts in this State to 95 cents, includ- ing delivery, and o cent a word for every additlonal word, The bill was put on tho calendar for first reading. TIE CURTAIN TUSES, . . Benator Condee presented the report of the Committes on Warchouses, recommending the confirmntion of Smith and Bogue as Rall- road aud Warchouse Commissioners, Senntor Clark moved that the Sennte go into exceutlve sesslon, and the motlon pro- valled. Senntor Fuller moved that the rule regard- ing the cleslng of the doors be dispensed with. The motlon wns lostby n vote of nays, 205 yeas, 21, and Mr, Sergeant-at-Arms pro- ceeded at once to perform tho pleasing duty of clearlng the decks for action. THERE ARE SCHEMES AND SCHEMES, nnd the ropresentntive of Tue TIIBUNE, dis- , covering one which enabled him to hold an executive sesslon all by himself where ho could hoar all that wenton nnd sit cross- legged and unobserved, succeeded In outwit- ting Senatorial secrecy and in jotting down all that accurred within the charmed circle, The ball was opened by Semator Callon, whe moved to postpone actlon on the con- firmation unti! Friday noxt, and who tnslsted that, Inasmuch as the reports hnd not been published, it was useless to act now. More than that, 1t would bo foolish to do anything until all the Senators had exumined the tes- timony. The Republicans had instituted the {nvestigation, which had run six weeks, It wag well known that the Commissjoners had acted in viofation of law, Tho evidence and reports showed these facts. The Demoeracy could not permit such PALVABLE BRANOMES OF THE LAW to rest In sllenc: Lanning apparently forgot where he was, " and, thinking the Investigation was In prog- ress, thrust both hands in his breeches bock- ets, cocked his head at un angle of 45 de- grees n la Punch, and dellvered hlmself of the same old, nld story. Walker, of Macoupin, Democrat, opposed the motlon. The thne of the Senate hud been occupled in the investigation for the last six ‘weeks, and no good could come from u post- ponciment. ‘The Investigation had cost the State from 5,000 to $10,000, and the addl- tional cost of publishing the reports would bo 25,000 more. No one would read the re- porta or the evidence If they were printed. ‘The Investigntion grow out of personnl mat~ ters anyway, and WAH A GREAT MISTAKE, Trom whatever polnt of visw It was consid- erad. The sooner the Senate ridded Itself of the whole matter the better it would be for the peoplo. It was o mistaka that the Domo- cracy shoull boealled upon to make this n party measure, The minority had e its Teport on ts own responsibllity, without cons sulting.any one. The Democracy could not afford to make It o purtisun mntter.
