Tats is an unusually large number of retiring Senators, and grows out ofthe many changes tn the political com- ators will be Messrs. Booth, Eaton, McDonald, Hamlin, Whyte. Baldwin, Bruce, Paddock. Sbaron, Randolph, Kernan, Thurman, Wallace, Bailey, Withers, Hereford, and Cameron of Wisconsin—10 democrats and 7 repubtican: 78 who will succeed themselves Messrs. Bayard, Jones of Florida, Dawes, Millan, Cockreli, Burnside, Maxey and £1- munds—4 republicans and + democrats. AMONG THOSE WHO GO OUT, the democrats lose several of their most vaiu- able leaders, of whom Senator Thurman Is {ir-t For twelve years he has b2en the trusted leiier of his party in the Senate; but. aside from his political course, he hus rendered pubile services which rank him among our ablest men. Sen ators Wallace and McDonald will also be m!s3ed by their party. It is a noteworthy fact that the men who were elected to the Senate as NON-PARTISANS OR REFORMERS, with a single exception, will not be in the next Senate. Mr. Booth was elected by a combina tion of republicans and democrats as an antl- monopolist. Mr. Cameron, of Wisconsin, was Chosen, by the aid of democrats, over Senator Carpenter because of the former's suppose 1 tn dependence in politics. Mr. Christiancy, who was glad to get out of the Senate before bis term expired, was also indebted to demoera votes for his election. Senator McMillan, whom Ube democrats helped to elect over Kamsey. now Secretary of War, is the only one of tic so-called independents who has been re-elected. THK INCOMING SENATORS, aside from the elght already mentioned who succeed themselves, wlil be: Messrs. Miller, flaw ley, Harrison, Hale, Gorman, Conger, Goi Van Wyck, Fair, Sewell, Platt, Sherman, Jac son, Mahone, Camden and Sawyer—10 repunlt cans, 5 deraocrats, and one independeat acmo crat, (Mahone). Some of these geatlemen, thongh new to senatorial honors, have alrea iy eprolled their names among the list of states- men. Gen.

All fire areable debaters, good logicians, aid admirable parlimentarians. Conger has turned thresseore years, but possesses all the vigor of a youager man. He fs rather spare in bulid; weighs haroly more than 180 pounds. Ils voice’ is sharp, shrill and rather unpleasant. Asa de- bater he is ready; and in giving and takicg hard thrusts he has no equal In the House.

This, however, 1s a muleti for tn private life he ts a gental com- panioh, and in the cloak-room ts one of the most entertaining of the bright spirits who gather there. Conger has made a reputation in the House as a shrewd parliamentarian. ‘There ts nota twist or a turn of either the arbitrary new rules or the ol ones he has not at ils finger’s end, and he can do more to ‘devil’ a Speaker than apy member of the House. His pature is pugnacious and essive. He never yields a point when he thinks he ts In the right, and Is ever ready, strict partisan that he is, to defend his party. His motto seems to be. “The republican party—may it ever be right— but right or wrong the party.” Gen. Hawley. who will succeed Senator Eaton, 4s also one Of the leading members of the present House. While equally as ready In debate as Conger, and as forciote in logic, he rarely rushes into the arena of debate ‘solely for the fun of the thing. In argument he ts facisive and convincing. While his devotion to his party 1s thoroughly loyal and steadfast, he is LOt of hose who believe his party can never wrepg.

For 2 year or more past this committee bave been carefully studying the Subject, and the report they have submitted recommending the passage of the measure, 1 signed by Senators Pendleton, Voorhees, but | ler, Ingalls, Biaine, Farley, Platt and Allison— four republicaus and four democrats, The re- port maintains that Congress has the consu- } Wutional power to pass this Dill; that the head of a department reporfing in person or orally to Congress upon matters relating lo his department becomes no more a member of Congress “than does the chaplatn, or a con testant or his counsel, or a delegate.” This 1s not a new question, as the committee show that in 1739 Uhe secretary of foreign affairs, | Mr. Jefferson “attended (in Congress) agreeably | to order and made the necessary explanations; ; that in the same year the President of the | \nited States, attended by Gen.
