Tue opposition to Mr. Voorhees’ resolution and to @ts Lepr his contemplated speech on the conduct of the national banks, was mainly prompted by a de- Sire to avold anything calculated to prolong the session. Most likely some of the Senators would reply to Mr, Voornees, and this might lead to a protracted discussion.

VOOREEES AGAIN SUBMITS BIS RESOLUTION AND I8 MET WITH A POINT OF ORDER, In the Senate to-day, Mr. Voorbees again submitted the resolution which he had yester- Gay offered, and subsequently withdrawn, de- claring that the hostile attitude assumed by Mle ational banks to the refunding of the na- Uonal debt at a lower rate of Interest, and the'r Tecent attempt to dictate the legislation of Caa- gress are contrary to the Dest Interests of the people, and are calculated to excite their alarm for the future. Mr. Morrill raised the point of order that the Tesolation was not in order, inasmuch as It was a legislative proposition. MR. SHERMAN'S REMARKS Mr. Sherman thought it wou'd njust to the ebair to require him to decide the potas. untul all the precedents on the question had been cited. His recollection was (nit prop ost- tons like this had been debated In every ex- cutive session which had ever called, and he hoped that Mr. Voorhees would be permitted to speak to the point of order, MR. MORRILL WANTS AN EARLY ADJOUR! Mr. Morrill said that he had no obj. the gentleman’s speaking to the point. Ht only reason for objecting to his speaking to the merits of the resolution was that he de- sired to adjourn at an early day: and that the Proposition would probably give rise to pro- tracted debate, MR. VOORERES THEN PROCEEDED T2 ARGUE that the proposition was clearly in order, and Clted from precedents to show that ata specia executive session of the Senate any busta: uid be transacted which did nob need u ‘c-operation of the House of Representatives. He quoted from the opinions of such men as Chase, Seward and Douglass, to the effect that the Senate in speciai session might do any act which it was competent for 1t to do by tiselt, vithout the co-operation of the Hous, and ated that that theory wa3 embodied by Mr. Seward In a resolution asd unanimously adopted. He regretted to convin: n against his will, and, most of all, Senator from Michigan (Mr. Ferry), who had yesterday sprang to his feet In opposition to we presen. tation of the pending resolution, but It was a fact that that gentleman had during the spectat session of the 43d Congress offered & resofution abstracting from the public domain tue Island of Mackinaw, and dedicating it to the people, of course, the people of Micnizan. The Senator had made a strong speech in favor of the power of the Senate to adopt the resolution, and it had been adopted. The proposition whlch lo / Mr. Voorhees) had submitted needed no u sence by the Honse. It was to give into upon a great over shadowing question. logive the departments of tht: Opinion which the Senate of the ini public y iinportant to cer f t that thts expression of opi n.

If so, good bye to any shorieuing of the session. The resolution then went Over wnull to-mor- row. Resolution to Elect Senate Officers.

ITS PROSPECTS BELOW ak. ‘The scale just now Is turned against an ex- tra session of Congress, and the chances of having one grow smaller dally, It appears, at the last Cabinet meeting, Secretary Windom, Who 1s opposed toa called session, gave it as his opinion that the Treasury could pay off the entire assessment of G per cent bonds, about maturing, by ee 104,000,000 Unsold 4 per cents and applying the surplus revenues to the same end. Yesterday he subinittea to the Cabi- het a detatled statement, carefully prepared by U.S, Treasurer Giifilan, going to show that he ‘was correct In his premises, and that the fail- ure to get a funding bill through, by reason of President Hayes’ veto, could hardly be given to the country as an acceptable reason for con- vening the new Congress. Since the opening of the new administration its Cabinet secrets have been pretty well kept. it was known, however, that at yestet 'S meeting no action bad been taken favoring a Session. liad it been decided to call it the proclamation of the President would have issued forthwith; the fact that there was no such proclamation Is the best evidence that the necessity for an extra season has not yet been made apparent to the President and his advisers, While the Cabinet was in session yesterday rotests came in against a called sesston from Philadelphia, New York, Bgston, Cincinnatt and Chicago. Though it not been den- nitely decided that there is to be no extra ses- sion, the outlook for having one 1s not near so favorable as it Was On Saturday last. Suit for Damages.

Certain gentlemen interested in appolatinents in the southern states have suggested to Pres!~ dent Garfield the recalling of Gen. Longstreet from Turkey, and making him marshal of Geor- gia.

Secretary Blaine ts in fa- vor of calling the extra Session, and Secretary Windom opposed to It. The conference be. tween the three was not very long. No decision Was reached. Secretary Windom stated tha the matter is now tn such a suape that a una decision may be reached at any moment. The indications still point to no extra session. ‘There was a report set. going to-day that the President had called a special Cabinet, meeting for to-day to consider the matter. There was ho such meeting—only the conference be- tween the President and Secretaries Blaine and Windom. WHAT SECRETARY WINDOM SAYS. Secretary Windom says nothing was decided on at the conference, but a decision would shortly be reached and made public. He would not Indicate what the present prospects are for a called session, saying that he did not know “what ts passing in other men’s minds.” OCIETY NOTEs.

In An Interesting Case in Chicago A DELIEF IN SPIRITUALISM NOT N&CESSARILY EVI- DENCE OF INSANITY. A novel case was decided in the circuit court in Chicago yesterday in which Judge Tutey held that proof that aman believed In spirit- ualistic phenomena was no evidence of a man’s insanity or incapacity to take care of bis owa affals, Tbe undue intiuence of this case was Uhat exercised by a spiritualistic medium—Mrs, Chamberlain—over Col. H. W. H. Cushwan, now deceased. Cushman held a policy tn the Republic Life insurance company for $1,000, which his oxecutor Claimed as an asset of the estate, while Mrs, Chamberlain claimed it on an equitable assignment, which the executor resisted on the ground tbat at the time of the assignment Cushman was incapable of making a birding contract, owing to tnsanity caused by spiritualism. It was proved that for many years Cusbman had been a nrm bellever in Communication with departed spirits: that he had been in the babit of consulting spirits al- most dally, and placed considerable value upon: counsel purporting to come from them Unrough mediums, and at one time had invested Jargely Mm a Worthiess mine through their advice. dudge Tuley said that men who stand high in sclehice, judges who adorn the bench, attorneys, Solicitors, clergymen, physicians, literary men of Ube highest ability; and in fact, men in every Walk and condition of life, honestly bclteved in these phenomena, and so it would be the sheerest nonsense for him to hoid that belief in the phenomena known as spiritualism was, per £@, any evidence of unsound mind. It might lead to unscund mind, but not necessarily so.
