Devlin, who was received some time since, has been assigned to duty m the hospital. It has not yet been to what use Callicott and Enright will be put. None of the sen- tences in these cases require imprisonment at hard labor, and the consequence is that they will have the “privilege,” if they choose, of re- maining within their cells,where they may be supplied with reading matter. But prisoners never prefer this mode of life for a great while, even the hard labor of the prison being ac- cepted rather than the enforced idleness and gloom of selitary confinement.

Mr. Hendricks asked for an explanation of the amendment. Mr. Harlan said, in view of the present dis- organized state of the City Councils, it was thought proper to give temporarily the ap. ointment of the subordinate officers to Mayor, until the dead-lock was removed. 1. Davis asked if this bill was not retroac- tive in its character. Mr. Harlan said there was no law now rela- tive to contested elections m this city, and th: bill had been introduced to remedy it. Mr. Davis said this was just what heexg ected. An election had recently taken place in this city, and some of the candidates elected Were not satisfactory to the Radical party and the majority of thi body. There was no ne- cessity for the intervention of Congress in this matter. The courts were amply competent to take jurisdiction of all the questions arising out of the recent election in this city, and it was unworthy of Co! 88 to interfere to further party purposes. There had been cases of con- tested elections here before, and the parties had no difficulty in having the case adjudicated in the courts, Ashe understood it this bill was retroactive, intended to control the result of an election which had taken place under other laws. One of the parties concerned in this matter is not satisfied with a judicial decision of the matter, but he comes to the Senate, and the Committee on the District of Columbia bad, min partizan and indecent haste, reported this Mr. Harlan said this was merely intended to NS. 4,763. ices. Mr. Nye thought such was the Demoeratic dectrine. Mr. Hendricks.—Not so: in the good old Dem- ocratic times a aw was o ve candidate for another. m Goverser of a State and President, for exam| yhter. Mr. Nye then stated that Mr. Bowen's com. mission s postmaster expired in March last, and he held on by reason of the President not seeing fit to Sppomt another man im his place, and the Senator (Mr. Hendricks) had s0 mack ‘Well, then you believe the ten ure-of-office act unconstitutional. Mr. Thayer.—_No; I have my own private opinion, but the Senate has refused already to punish him for violating it. Mr. Morton asked what officer had the = to issue certificates of election, and w! there was any remedy now provided in the courts for the adjudication of contested elec- tion cases. Mr. Harlan said the Register of the city i sued the certificates, and he then read trom the existing Jaws, claiming that under them no ad- equate remedy now existed. Mr. Buckalew explained why he should vote against theamendment. He knew as a member of the Committee en Contingent Expenses, that Mr. Bowen only acted as one of the clerks here during the recent investigation into the counts, and that he bad no idea of remaining. In regard to the Postmastership the explana. tion which had been made was suilatectory. Mr. Davis then withdrew the amendment and offered another, that the Mayor of the City of Washington shall not receive the pay or emoluments of any other office. Mr. Fessenden asked if the same set of men acted as registers of voters and commussioners of election. ‘Mr. Harlan understood different sets acted, Mr Harian farther stated in reply to Mr. Fessenden that between the time of making the registry and holding the election, Congress passed a law depriving soldiers of the right to vote in the District. 1t was understood that a number of soldiers of the 12th infantry had been registered, who by this law had not the right to vote. They however presented them- selves on the day of election, and their yotes were received, but on the returns made to the Register their votes being deemed illegal were left out on the count, and the certificates were then issued by the Register to those having the inajorit when the soldiers votes were ex- cluded. Mr. Hendricks would like to know how it was ascertained who these soldiers voted for, the vote was in this city by ballot. Mr. Harlan.—The commissioners checked Provide a remedy for what at present there was no legal means of obtainmg relief. Under the present law, providing that the Board of Al- dermen and Common Council shouldbe the Judges of the election, there was no opportunity cient, but now there were two boards for each branch of the Councils, each claiming to be the legal board, and each equally divided, which prevents any solution of the difficulty.

Mr. Fessenden did not understand how the Commissioners or the Register could presume 'o go behind the ballots, as their duties were purely ministerial. He desired to be informed if there was any law allowing them to exam. sme the ballots. Mr. Howe would ask another question. Was there any Iaw preventing them from doing it!

It was very ne ‘ary that the Senate should pass it to-day.
