The Senate, in executive session yesterday, confirmed the nomination of Jas. O. Putnam, of New York, to be minister to Belgium. THE Morrison Boom.—The publication of Representative Morrison's private letters in the Chicago Times, wherein he grooms bimself for the presidential race and shows what folly 1 would be to nominate any of the other candi- dates, has created a vast deal of talk among the members of the House. Great curiosity exists to know who betrayed Mr. Morrison's confidence by the publication of his private let- ters, The cat has been let out of the bag, how- ever, and the public can see how the presiden- tial disease in ts first stages affects a man of common sense. With the example of so many imprudent statesmen before him, it 1s difficult tocomprehend how Mr. Morrison sheuld have committed such a blunder. ‘THE SHOOTING OF SERGEANT-AT-ARM3 THOMP- son's Son—Sad Result of Hazing.—A dispatch from Newbury, N.

FINAL ADJOURNMENT JUNE 15tu.—The Senate ecmmittee on appropriations have not yet con- sidered the House resolution fixing the 10th in- Stant for fiual adjournment. Senator D vis, of West Virginia, chairman of the Senate com- mittee thinks Congress will adjourn on the 15th instant, and in this opinion Senators Beck and Wallace of the same committee coincide. Tne almost unanimous belief of the Senate com- nilttee on appropriations {3 that Congress will adjourn on the i5th instant, GEx, SHERMAN and his aides-de-camp Col. A. MeD. McCook, Col. O. M. Poe, and Col. John M. Bacon, have gone to West Point to attend the funeral of Col. J. C. Audenried. Lisvr. W. F. Zeitin, of the marine corps, was thrown by his horse while out riding last even- ing on the Ocean View road, near Norfolk, Va. He fell on his bead and hts neck was broken. Tie died instantly. Lieutenant Zellin was a resident of this city, and a son of Brigadier General Zeflin (retired) of the marine corps. He was, with possibly two exceptions, the most popular officer of the marine co~ps ever known in Washington, He was young, idsome and warm-hearted. His death FORTY-SIXTH CONGRESS. SATURDAY, June 5. SENATE.—A few private bills were passed in the morning hour. The Senate then took up and debated the bill referring all outstanding claims against the District of Columbia to the Court of Claims. HOUSE.—Immedlately after the reading of the journal a demand made by Mr. Bouck for the regular order prevented the Speaker from recognizing any of the members who, bills in band, were pressing forward to seek unanimous consent. The morning hour having been dispensed with a contest arose as to what business should be considered by the House. A motion to proceed to business on the Speaker’s table made by Mr. Carlisle was an- tagonized by Mr. Singleton with the tnter- Oceanic canal resolution and by Mr- Hooker with the Choctaw bill. Finally, Mr. Carlisle’s motfon was agreed to, and the House, at 12 o’clock, proceeded to dis- of business on the Speaker's tabie. House bill for the establishment of titles in Hot Springs, Arkansas, with Senate amend- ments, was referred to the committee on public lands. Senate amendments to the following House bills were concurred in: To establish a district and circuit court at Chattanooga, Tenn., (con- curred in with slight amendment.)

JUDGE FIELDS’ CHAN! During the present week democratic conven- Uons have been held in the states of Alabama, Arkansas and Colorado. Nothing has been learned as to the presidential preferences of the delegates from Arkansas. The entire week has been passed in balloting for candidates for state offices, The Colorado delegation to Cincinnwi is solid for Judge Field. Information received irom reliable persons in Alabama {sto the effect that the four delegates at large from the state and a majority of the district delegates are for Field. The friends of Mr. Field expect that the Georgia convention, which meets on the 9th instant, will select delegates who are solid in his support. There has been a warm controversy over tho Standing of the California delegatioa. Tilden and Field have each claimed a majority of the delegates from that state. Late ana complete advices by mail from the Pacific slope to irlends of Judge Field here satisfy them that the dele- gatton Is unanimous in his ‘or.

One is an act to amend an act authoriz- ing the Commissioners of the District of Colum- bia to Issue $20,000 5 per cent bonds of the Dis- trict to redeem certain funded indebtedness; the other ts an act to reorganize the co.rts of the District of Columbia, and for other pur- poses. THE PROPOSED NEW MUNICIPAL CODE. The Senate to-day authorized the District committee to sit during the recess of Congress to consiler the proposed new code of laws for the District. The code has been referred to a sub-committee. consisting of Senators Harris, Whyte and McMillan, who will hold sessioas during the recess and report to the fall commit- tee next session. Society Notes. Senators Ransom and Williams will in the course of a fortnight accompany the colleague of the former to Loutsville, where Senator Vance will claim a bride whom he met in Washington last winter.

Hatch, dated Fort Craig, New Mexico, May 3d, has been forwarded to to the War department. Four com antes, re- duced to about 100 men, and Indian scouts, are in pursuit of Indians going to Mexico. ‘There are 100 Warriors in the party.

CHICAGO! THE GREAT CONVENTION. FOURTH DAY. THE BATTLE RAGE —_.+—_—__ WHO WILL WIN? The Disputed Seats. NEWS FROM GRANT. Friday Night's Pro- ceedings. BEDLAM! Special To The Star. Carcago, June 5, 1830, The Battle of the Giants. The greatest scene which ever occurred ip a national convention took place between 12 and o'clock this morning, amounting almost toa battle between the contending factions. Long John Wentworth says he has never seen anything like it in forty rs, and Pixley, a California delegate, declared that it looked like ascene of terror from the French revolution. Wild and Thrilling Scenes. It was so prolonged and excited that the coolest men were dazed anc stood terror strickea in their seats. Men and women went into hy3- terics. and rushed around and shouted like maniacs. People who heard the rush and roar five blocks away crowded into the convention without Uckets, as the police seemed too much startled to detain any oue. It would seem that the animal spirits and wondrous lung power of the convention wer: reserved, after all, for the closing debate on th: 18 anti-Grant contestants from Illinois. ters were comparatively quiet durin; speeches, although the speakers on eac! spoke with more than usual power. the side But wheo Emory Storrs, of Chicago, the last of the four, took his stand om the edge of the press plat- form and proceeded in his pecullarly eloquent style to laugh down the arguments of his oppo- nents, the enthusiasm increased each second. When, improving his advantage, and in a voice that overcame the acoustic difficulties of the hall. he spoke of Blaine and told the supporters. of that gentleman to nominate him it they could, the tempest opened in good earnest wit) stirring cheers and loud verbal interruptions from the gallery. Mr. Storrs, turning to the cheering crowd said: “And when the gentlo- men who are cheering in the gallery to-night are reposipg under the soft summer sky, tired ot politics and disgusted with its fatigues, you will find the followers of the grand old silent. soldier awake by their camp-fires, and carrying the banner of the sluggard forward tO triumph.” *¢Hell Broke Loose.” At the conclusion of tbe closing sentence, “Hell or something that very closely resembled that territory,” says the Chicago Times, “broke loose, beginning on the east side of the hall, spreading to the floor and finally infecting every art of the vast audience until It seemed to ave gone absolutely mad for the time beiny. ‘The adherents of both the renowned candidates vied with each other tn roaring like wiid bulls, or perhaps It might be true to say Ike an im: mense band of wiid Indians sounding their Terocious war whoops at a gigantlé scalp lance.” The delegates from the different states and territories seized their banners and waved them on high while everybody on the floor and fa the galleries waved handkerchiefs, or hats. or wiv- brellas, or sticks, or whatever they could lay hands on to indicate their preferences. The continued roaring, which lasted three-quarters | of an hour without oftictal tuterruption, sounded like the storm of the battle field ftself. Conspicuous among the leaders of the scene were Koscoe Conkling, Long John Wentworth and John Logan on the tloor, and Bob Ingersoll and Mr. Conger on the platform. The flashing eyes and scarlet faces of the excited multitude showed to what a peek of passion the once cou! and dignified republican party had come, Wild Women, Too, Even womanhood for a time lost its delicacy and dignity, and showed as much Insanity. standing on chairs and flourishing symbols, as the men themselves. They were few, of course, in proportion to the number of women who sat ther eawed and amazed by the Titanic uproar. Ten thousand people were on their feet Standing upon tables and chairs and the backs of the benches, waving handerkerchiefs, canes, hats,umbrellas,overcoats,shaw!s, papers, in fact, everything could that could be seen or used to add to the confusion and excitement. Tne flags, with which the buliding ts decorated,were torn down and waved aloft. “Crazy women tore off their bonnets, and swung them by their strings; and crazy men pulled thelr coats from their shoulders and waved them in the air. The nolse was absolutely deafening; and no one knows, till he hears it, how much nolse 10,000 eople can make, shouting at the tops of their lungs, pounding the floor with their feet, and banging the resonant pine benches with boards torn irom the backs ever seen or described, and any attempt to serlbe it would be a failure. betes One woman on the stage, a Mrs. Deane, of New Jersey, crazed with the excitement, tore down flags and shook them in the air.’ She finally climbed to the pedestal of the Goddess of Liberty that stands behind the chair- man’s desk, and there conspicuously to all the audience she swung her flags and bonnet, and screamed with all her voice. She was finally taken down by Sergeant-at-Arms Strong, Gover- nor Jewell, Congressman Aldrich, and others, and placed in a seat, but her histertes returned, and she snatched the flags from the men who bad them and sprang to the lestal again. She was a second time taken down ana com: pelled to keep her seat, but .was finally taken from the building before she could be controlled. My Lord Roscoe Unbends, Senator Conkling stood upon a chair and waved the banner, which, hanging upon a pole, bee Placed to mark the seats of the New York delegation. When his arms were ti with holding this heavy banner, he waved his hat in flee toes a, ign! jeman ie New York gation shouted. with the Senator in the Pen sylvania del ion. General Beaver waved his crutches in the alr, and Senator Cameron swung his hat, standing on of a chair. Long Jono Wentworth’s huge and conspicuous head rose up among the Illinois like a giant among pigmies. He stood upon a chair twenty minutes, with his cane in one hand and ‘his old brown hat on the end of tt, and his red mmed handk in the other, forgetting all parliamentary decorum. _ Reporters Cool, as Usual. ‘The delegates began tosing “John Brown” and “Rally Round the Flag,” and in all that ho kept quiet wena Petitldiaglio de sscod wi compelled in the midst of the, ‘turmoil toal to the business of furnishing the news for the public.

Peace at Last. Doubtless the disorder would have lasted all night had not Gen. Raum, with an unexpected sagacity, proposed three cheers for the victorious candidate. This parting volley of sounds Seemed to satisfy the frenzied assemblage, and Mr. Storrs concluded his speech in careful cen- tences. fearful that he might create another Scene like the one which he had sq ably suc- oe in ie There never was, — Perhaps, unless in the same body, iy Rover wit be such another le.

ABOUT DARK HORSES. —_-—_—— Special To The Star. Cacaco, Jun 0. There is the Calm of Exhaustio1 in the convention this morning. The situation seems to be about this: The first ballot will be taken towards evening. It may be followed by two or three, and if there ig then no choice, an adjournment till Monday will probably follow. It is claimed on each side that the great struggle of last night puts Grant and Blaine to the front, and rules out the dark horse. What the Grant Men Claim. The Grant men Say that their success is as sured in the fact that every southern delegate finally will vote for Grant as the only man who can give them security enough to insure a re- publican party in the South. Then they add that part of the Ohio yote and all the Massa. chusetts vote will go to Grant, and this will nominate him.
