NO NOPE. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, WASHINGTOY, D. C., April 9.—A numbar of Re- pubticun Senators mow favor holdinga caucus next week, with a view of trymg 10 come to an agreement 1o hold executive sessions to consider important nominations. This move docs not in- clude the idea of abandoning the pending contest over the orzauization of the Senute. One of the most prominent Republican Senators said yes- terday thut, in his opinion, the Senate would bo here all summer. A prominent Democratic Senatorsaid to-day: *The Democratic side of the Scnate intends that the Virginia clection shall be beld without the belp of Mr. Riddleber- ger as Sergeant-at-arms of the Sconte.” The fi'il'zlultt electon takes place in November. ) OTIIER VIEW WASHINGTON, D. C., Aprii 9.—Although the Scuate is nat In session, there hus been a number of iuformal conferences between Senators in re- gard to briuging 10 an end the strugile going on in the Senate, and a more hopeful feeling pre- vails that a concfusion may be reuched within the next ten duys, resultiny fu the virtual suc- cess of the Republicans, It ippears that several Democratic Senutors ure becomng very weary of the struggle, and are witling to aceept some compromise. On_the part of many Democratic Senators It is simply & question of keeping in oflice some pulitical Tavorit THE IDEA IAS BEEN ADVANCED on the part of some Democrats thut if the Re- publicans wiil consent to_allow the present of- steers of the Senate to draw their pay for three amonths und also to retain from one-third to hulf of the subordinate ofticers, that_a soluticy_of the present difliculty may be reached.

Soectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tridune. WASHINGTON, . C.. April 9.—The appoint- ment of a number of clerks in the Pension- Oflice i the first step taken- by Secretary Kirk- wood 10 indicate the future policy of that Department. The method of appointment will be likely to attract public attention. by reason of its radical dilference from the policy which, for four years, has prevalled under Secretary Scburz. The onls law now reguluting appoint- mentsto oilice, aside from the one which re- quires that, other things being equal, prefer- ence shall be given to Uaion soldiers, 13 tho law of 18, That law provides that no clerk stall be appoiutad to any Government department uotil after su examinauon by a Loard, to be appointed by the head of the Department. Mr. Schurz bused upon that law the system of Civil-Service rules and regu- lauons under which such efficient clerical nstst- ance was sccured. Every person who entered the Department was exawioed. Every Con- gressman who applied to have a clerk appointed could have the name indicated placed upon the list of persons to be selected for examinaton. THAT WAS ALL THE FAVORITISM that was allowed. Politicul recommendations were only considered in the making up of the list of desiguations for examination. There patronage eoded. Every® applicant from that moment was compelled to depend for his uppointment upon ~ his own record made before the Board ot Examiners. Congressmen, us a rule, were sutisfied, aithough many of their caudtdates tailed. 3Ir. Schurz, under this system, never gave more ihan fiftecn winutes’ personal attenton daily to appoint- wments, Seeretary Kirkwood, on the contrary, bas been compelied to devote THI GREATER PORTION OF HIS TIME since the inuuguration to to that duty. -He ap- arently gives o ditferent futerpretution to the aw of 1833, He considers that whut he calls *probution * i3 a. suflicient examination, and it fs understood that all of the clerks are _appointed _npon trial, Commissioner of Pensions Bentley eriticises Kirkwood's app oirtments on tho ground that they tend 10 demoraiize the public service, in that outsiders witbout experience have been uppuinted to the higher wrade clerkships at_ lurge salaries over the heads of the tuittful men who have been muny years fo oflice, and who, under the Schurz system, had looked forward 16 promotion.. This, Mr. Bontley eluims, is unjust ana_injurious to the srvice, as it dous not offer the clerks the in- ceative of promotion s reward lor faithf ul service. NOTES. JONN B, HAWLEY.

At g com= paratively early hour in the moruing tingscould e discerned tlying at half-mast in various por- tions of the cly, and towards noon a tour through East Water, Clinton, Reed, and West Water streets, Grand avenue. Wisconsin, and many other of the leading public thor- oughfares and commercinl centres showed every evidence of the profound inter- est with which the dewise of the eminent statesman has Inspired the residents ot the city. ' Numerous carriages, with Indy oceus pants bearing MAGNIFICENT. FLORAL DEVICES AND EM- BLI could be observed through the early part of the dny wendiug their way to the Carpeater home- stead and_the Court-House, Portralts of the deceased Senator were displayed in some of tho vrincipal stores, many of them handsomely draped. About 1o'clock we various millaary orgauizations began to assemble tnd form fn line on Broudway, in the presence of hundreds of interested spectators. The Milwaukee Light Squadron &nd o detachment of the Sheridan Guards, preceded. by Clauder’s military band, marched down Rroadway to the Union Depot. From all points of the eity anxious crowds bemn to st in shortly after the noon hour tolled towards the depot, and long before the special train Learing the cortége ar- rived the vicinity of the depot was practically impussable. From the summits of public and private bufldies an ever-extending line of tags at buif-must began to be displayed, as well as from the shipping moored at auckor in the river. A VAST MULTITUDE OF PEOPLE was nssembled on both sides of Droadway, and overtlowed into Wisconsin street, both east and , und on buth sides of the street, Lorg be- fore the time at which the train hearing tho funerat cortéie was due the Union Depot on Reed street was tke centre of attraction 1o a large number of people, and at1 o'clock the throng around the building was €0 large that it was with difficulty that 2 cireuit of the platform could be made. From that time on the number inereused rupidly, and the military orgunizations who were to form purt of the procession began to arrive. Tirst the Ligat flo Squadron, fifiy strong, with subres flash- ing in tho sun and chapeaux shaded Dy the plumes of bright vellow tkat waved in the brecze, fited down Recd street by fours and drew up in line on the east side of the strect. The next to arriveon thoscene was the Sheridan Guards, who reached the depot fifteen minut Iater and took their station on the opposit side of tho street, where they grounded arms aud stood nt rest, AWAITING THE ARRIVAL OF TIHE TRAIN, The henrse stood on the platform fust north of the depot, and a short distance away, in a boliow square formed by the police and studiously Xeotelear, was Clauder's Bund. Jus: outside was drawnupa loog line of cartiuges, which ex- tended far down the street and formed n_purtial Darrier to the ever-incrensing crowd that surged far out luto the street. Standing onnn clevated positfon and viewing tho surroundings ft scemed that there never before hud been such i scene in Milwaukee as. that which lay stretehed to view, and truly it was u peeulinr scete, at once military and civie, having a tineture of war and of peace. Fow men could look wpon it once and speedily forget it. The whole area around the depot was usea of faces so closely crowded to- gether thut IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO MOVE in auy dircetion. On tke onter edge appeared the line of showily-caparisoncd borses, impa- tient ot control, and ciamping their bits till thelr dark frontals were flecked with fonm, and still further beyond the blue coats and glitter- fnys decarations of the infaniry. On every bal- cony and at every cnsement appeared tho faces and forms of spectators, while all around bum- berless flags at balf-mast floated droop- Ingly, ns though the dumb objects, inert, yet symbolic of the greatest country of the universe, were awure of the general sorrow it was visible in every face of tho vast con- course. The bright subshine overhead was in striking contrast to the draped banners and veiled cagles that were lifted here and: there, and the keen wind moaned with strange, un- earthly sound. AL ‘AL OF THE ERAL TRAIN. At2:15 o'clock p, m. the special funcral train moved in at the Union Depot, and very prompt- Iy tho cars weredischarged of their burdens. The casket containing the dead Seuator’s body was by a detail of policemen tenderly trans- Ierred to the hearse in waiting, and with very slizht delay beeausy of the commenduble cara for all details of the march tken by Marshal Hincks und bis the funeral cort, up cnietly by thuse Who cate by tealn and tho lgeal militha orzzanizutious, which atiended for escort duty, started on 1ts slow march to the Court-Housé, where untll to-morrow afternoon the body is to lie in state.

Sprelal Cable. ¢ LONDOY, April 8.—Mr. Gladstone's Land bill trunscends all other topics in importance. Pub-, lic opinion has not yet crystallized, but . the first impressions are undoubtedly favorable to the bitl usa fair, just, mlddle way for tho settle- ment of the land question. Tne scheme is admittedly n new departurd. Euglish politi- clans regard 1t ns a prefuco to a lurger proposal, to be extended tome day to Scotland and England. Copartnership in the soil - is the malospring of 3lr. Gladstone’s pro- posal. This principle s justided by the circumstances. Ireland, " and the recommendationsof both the Land Commissions. Neither the Irish press nor the Irish party hus nssumed untagonism to the bill. Mr. Shaw has ulreidy indicated one line of eriticism in statng tkut fixity of tenuro for fifteen years is 100 brief. MR. PARNELL at Rirmingham adhered to the League program, which aims at muking tenunts owners by the compulsory compensation of landlords. He ad~ mitted that the bill is an honest attempt to reconcile the interests of landlord and tenant, and thut noything which stops eviction is @ distinct guin, and & decided step toward the abolition of lundlordism. It Is already reckoned that ninety outof the 103 Irish wembers will vote for tho second read- ing of the bill. Lord Llcho's sweeping smnend- wment will do 5o muen burw that the front Oppo- siton beneh i3 most lkely to disuvow it and substitute nnother, io THE HOPE OF CATCHING TRISH V. OTES. This depends on tle Learing during Easter-tide of the public speeches. The 'Tories will make 4 tremendous eifort to secure Irish support at tho “sccond reading. At present the Irlsh seem ~disposed to support the scc- ond reading and eifect amendments fn Commitstee in rezard to the constitution and workivg of the Lund Court, which is the keystone of fair rents. The billis likely to be” much altered in that respect. The emigration vrovision will also be subjected to w heavy ordeal in Committee. The general voice of public opinion at present regards this as the greatest scheme of Mr. Gladstone’s ereati THE DUKE OF ARGYLE'S REST was due to the fear that the bill would extin- guish the rights of ownership. Ile represents the old schoul of politicul economy in regard to land tenure, und csunot secept the new princi- pies that land has po sasctity beyond the reach of Parliament. His chief objection relates to free sule. He was carcful 10 withbold his resiznation until after Mr. Glad- stone’s explunation of the provisions of tho bill. Three months a0 it was known that the Dule and two other Ministers were dizposed to breuk away. Itlssupposed that the other two arenow reconciled to the measure, LOItD CARLINGFORD, who saceeeds the Duke of Argyle, is a Whig, but his acceptance of the Privy Seal places un ex- pert on Irish questions in the Cabinet. He is as sweepiug u reformer in regard to Ireland as Spencer. The Duke of Argyle's recession s re- karded by the Tories nsu proof of the revolu- tionury tendeney of the Land bill. It is stated by some as probable that THE HOME-RBULE MEMBERS will ask the Government to amend these provis- fons to bar the collection of *hanglog gales” or overdue rents beyond & cer- tain date. The clauses for wiving State aid for the reciamation of waste lands will open up tempting opportunities for speculators and edventurers. -Many Irish landlords will be anxious to seliout, and thefrplaces will be tuken by retired ironmasters and cotton Lords who are proverbinlly barsher und more un- reasonzble than tho - hereditary pro- prictor. The mmount required to carry the bill futo operation will be enormous. The Spectator says: *'The real tendency of the blil 3to ennble tho landlords to vunish from the scenc without sulferng uny injustice, except in rae cases.” WAITING FOR PARNELL. A Dublin correspondent writes to the effect that the Irish people appear to defer their judg- ment on Mr. Gladstone's bill till Mr. Parnelt speaks ut Cork onSunday. It is no exaggera- tion to say among those who reslly wish well © to the farmers of Irc land that Mr. Paroell's utterance 15 looked forward to with greater Interest and anxiety thun any speech he has delivered since tho ugilation. It eannot be denied that the bill comes before Ireland at u time when she is neither in a spirit nor. temper to give it a calm and unbiased con- sideration. From o conditon of apparent tranquillity, the week has plunszed great sections of the country intoastate of excitement de- scribed as little short of eivil war. Law and order, which secmed about to resume their sway, Lave recelved rude shock. The first blow was dealt in THE SANGUINALY AFFRAY near Rallughadereen, on the borders of Slizo and Muyo. The whole wretched business sprang, it may be safd, from nothing. The process-server, who was deing escorted by the police. undor Serzeant Armstrong, who lost his life, was mot” in the act of discharging his duty. Heo wus pnssing along the country rond to n part of tho county at consid- cruble distance from the scene of the attack, when he was nssatled with the result which is so deplorable. When Armstrong fired the first shot, whica killed a peasunt, be was felled to the #round by @ blow from n stone, and after his comrades had been beaten off tho wounded wan was TREATED IN THE MOST HORRIBLE MANNER, At theinquest the doctors described his head as baviug been beaten Inton perfeet jelly. His skull wus fractured in every direction. His brain was softencd to pulp. How the mun survived this ireatment for foir days fs mystery. 1t s feared this dreadful occurrence willput au end to the mieh vaunted forbenr- unco of the Constabulury, nmong whom the Drual alfuir bas airendy boree evil fruits. At Galliia, near Kittuuagn, County Muyo, Constable Roche und & party of hls men were protecting n pracess-server. He was. attacked and competled 1o beat o retreat In the direction of Rittanagi .barracks. The crowd of men, womez, und childven followed him, stobing and tounting bln, and SR JEERING TIIE POLICE. Roche sent his men on nbead witn the process- server while be lagged behind and endenvored tostuy the aggressive crowd. But his efforts were unavalling. He threatened to fire, aod -Home Office. fed to extrnordinary precuutions’ showed the people & cartridge a3 he loaded his ritle. But this bud no effect. They shouted that ke dure not fire without a Magistrate beside him to reud the riot nct. Roche, however, fired among the crowd, and tho first shot mortally wounded, it Is feared, n girl named Byroe, who f{s bolieved to have been only & looker-on. When tho crowd gathered around the wounded girl the police succeeded In reuching the barracks. . The death of Sergeant Armstrong has been made the subject of. u demonstration aimost unequaled in the history of freland. When the fatal result was snnounced, the country for sziles was aroused by bonfires burning on every ewlinence, being IN CELEBRATION OF THE EVENT. From Balfnghaderecn, French Park, and from Cleagher. to Loughlyn, the wholo .population turned out to celebrate in this fashion the sad oceurrence. The authorities ure doing all they ean to quell the excitement, which is springing up and spreadiog witk dangerous rapidity. The military and police in large bodies are being drufted into the locality, and whenever people gather in menacing ¢rowds counter-dem- onstrations of force are made. At Limurick Station, Mr. Crocker, agent to Viscount Guilla- more,would certajnly bave fared bad had not the engineer hud enough presence of mind to take him on the locemotive and escort him out of danger. . THE WHOLE AFFAIRWAS USPREMEDITATED. The crowd waitlng there was under the im- pression that Miss Parnell wus to pass the sta- tion. The incident shows sullicieatly the spirit of daring recklesness among the people, and how a trivial Incident may leud to wost deplor- able results. Al these alfruys have eprung directly from the serving of processes, the Quecn's earnest entreaty, Dr. Kldd befng abseut. Dr. Quain, who Is also n attendance, jg onie of tho Queen's surkeons extraordinary. The doctors are nearly worn out. The only promi. neut politician who has not called upon Lorq Benconsfleld Is Mr. Chamberiain, who does not pretend to leliove that the veternn's life is op any value to the country. THE MONEY MARKET. y g The politiéal- excitement does not prevent E g B anfmation i the money market. New compa. nies contfove to muke their #ppearance every day, and, as the Spectator says, “it i3 hailing prospectuses.” The amenat of capital askeq for is £20,000.000.
