A AL ELECTION in Indianapolis iT THE MUNICIP, Pepanlioes: a eee Ink carried Bt: Paul, Minn, yesterday, by 1-200 Ina THE SENATE DEAD-LOCK. A New Phase of It. ME. DAWES BUMS UP THE SITUATION AND MOVES AN EXECUTIVE SESSION, WHICH IS CARRIED. Immediately after the reading of the journal in the Senate to-day Mr. Dawes took the floor, and having the resolution to elect officers read, he sald that resolution is the only matter pend- ing before the Senate. It {sa very simple res- olution. It is in accordance with the custom of the Senate from time immemorial; although in the earlier years of the Senate it was the cus- tom to continue thetr officers. The first secre— tary held his office until 1814.the second for many years, and then & rule was adopted to eiect officers once in every two years. The omi- cers were elected under that rule until 1319, when that rule, on motion of Mr. Benton, was changed to the present rule. Mr. Benton de- Sired to relieve the Senate from the importunt- les of office-seekers at the beginning of each Congress, and leave the Senate to elect its offi- cers whenever itsaw fit. Since then theden- ate had elected officers at regular, called and executive sessions. He introduced the pend- ing resolution under the rule, and did not ask any Senator to support it who did not de- Sire to doso. He merely askea the Senats to consider it; but the op; tion had re- fused and nad held the Senate here for 6 weeks; the opposition had declared the Senate should hever pass upon that resolution. Mr. Dawes reviewed the course of the opposition and crit- icised it. He said the Senate had not been peomiaes to express its own judgment; it had en paralyzed. If the Senate could be thus paralyzed by a desperate opposition here, the poveranient a8 a whole could be blocked in its functions in the same way. At US ie & message was received from the President, atid Mr. Dawes inquired of what avail is a message in writing if a Senator can get up here and threaten that it shall never b> acted upon, and shall “aed out that threat by the aid of a minority? He characterized the Opposition of the democrats a3 revolutionary, tending to weaken and undermine the govera- ment. It devolves upon the republican party to maintain repubit and representative government in this country, and the republican pay, again accepts that responsibility. For Nmmself, not speaking for others, he declared that he would continue to the end the contest, for that resolution, not for what it contained, but because of the principle in- Volved in it, because it was to datermtne whether or not the Senate should perform its legitimate functions. Mr. Dawes sald the re- publicans, while maintaining the au‘hority of the Senate, could not omit to do Its duty else- where, Therefore, recognizing the necessity of this, and believing the republicans ‘would be Strengthened by it, he-would move that the Senate, for a short time, address Itself to other business; never losing sight of the principle they had been fighting for, but coming back to it, In order to provide for the needs of tue government he moved to proceed to the con- Sideration of EXECUTIVE BUSINESS. Mr. Beck called for the yeas and nays, Mr. Pendleton requested Mr. Dawes to with- draw bis motion for a moment. Mr. Dawes declined. Mr. Beck said he hardly thought {t decorous for Mr. Pendleton to add anything to Mr. Dawes’ funerai oration, Mr. Dawes retorted, that he trusted it would be the funeral oration over the opposition of Mr. Beck and his party to legitimate business. ‘The yeas and nays were called, and resulted in 53 ayes and no negative vote. IN THE VOTING on the motion to go into executive session, Mr. Hill, of Ga., arose to his feet, addressed the President of the Senate, and responded “ aye” ip acleartone, Mr. Cockrell; who was patred With Mr. Frye, inquired how the latter would vote. Mr. Hale replied that his colleage would vote aye, and that there would be no impro- priety in Mr. Cockrell’s voting. Mr. Cockrell said that while he doubted tne propriety, he would follow Mr. Dawes and vote aye. Mr. Dawes quickly retorted, ‘“‘Tne Senator will Lever be so happy as when he follows mein this world—and in the next, tov.” The doors were then closed. IP 1S Sab THAT Mr. Pendieton, had he got the floor, intende? to say a few words in reply to Mr. Diws’ strictures, but that he had no Idea of talking In an exultant tone, It 1s further stated that the democrats are not inclined to gloat over the re- sult, but will be very maderate fa all tuetr re- marks. As the democrats arrived at the Senate, Prior to its being called to order. it wa3 ob- ferved that. every ope of thein wore a smile which iiluminated his whole countenance, Among themselves they could not restrain ther expressions of extreme satisfaction, as they consiger the dead-lock virtually broken, 1nd eve they will seean adjournment witutn afew weeks. A DULL EXECUTIVE SES310N. All the indications were that the executive session this afternoon wag quletly devoted to regular bueinees. Before the session had con- tnued half an hour, Senators commenced to straggle out, some going to thelr committee rooms, abd others to lun: Tails indicated an absence of anything excltingin the session. CONFIRMATIONS, ETC. The Senate, in executive session, this after- noon confirmed the following nominations :— Rokert R. Hitt, of IL, to be Assistant Secre- tary of State; Hiram Price, of Iowa, Commis- sioner of Indian Affairs: Alfred W. Jones, U. 3. Marshal for northern district of Illinois; San- ford R. Ludson, of Wis., associate justice of Supreme Court of Dakota; Joseph O. Jones, postmaster at Terre Haute, Ind. The foregoing were all Confirmed by unanimous con3ent. Tae other nominations on the tabie were referred to appropriate committees, and the Senate then Took up the Chinese treaties, which, at3 o'clock, were under discussion. Mr. Dorsey Calls on Mr. James. THE POSTMASTER GENERAL REFERS HIM TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, Yesterday afternoon ex-Serator Dorsey, with Col. Bob Ingersoll as his attorney, called on the Postmaster Geveral, to arrange, if possible, an immediate investigation of the star route con- tracts in which the ex-Senator ts alleged to have an interest. It so happened that when ‘they called Attorney General MacVeagh was closeted with the Postmaster General. Col. Ingersoll made the request. Mr. James left the matter with the Attorney General, who satd both the Post Office Department and the De- partment of Justice were co-operating to in- vestigate all the star route contracts, and to grant the request would only impeds the in- quiry. The request, therefore, was declined, SOCIETY NOTES. A number of ladies and gentlemen called on Mrs. Garfteld last evening. Among them were Ex-Speaker Winthrop and wife; Hon. L. P.

Against the Beaconsfield Memorial. { 1s understood that the opponents to the Beaconsfield memorial have represented to Mr. Gladstone that a vote on the measure ought to be postponed until after the second Yeading of the land bill. Debate on the land bill is Hkely to continue throughout next week. Some conservatives bellevo that @ postpone- ment of the memorial question is desired io order to give an opportunity to the radical con- stituencies to demonstrate against 1t. The Morning Post says:—* The resistance of the section In the House of Commons, which ewes pecullar loyalty, to Mr. Gladstone, ts elther a singular f Of a lack of discipline, or indicates @ double intention, which we should be the last to attribute Mr. Glad- stone, It would not be decorous that the quatifications of the late Lord Beaconsfield for aplace in Westminster Abbey should b> the occasion of @ painful dissension between Mr. Gladstone and the influential section of his fol- lowing, who were mainly instrumental in placing him in power.” It isto be observed that some conservative prints declare that Mr. Gladstone himselt 13 opposed to the memorial, and that the motion for the erection of a memorial was introduced at the Wish of the Queen. It is officially kaown that the Queen expressed such a wish. The Greek Frontier.

TBE PROGRAM AGREED UPON FUR DU EXECUTIVE BUSINES3 BEFORE THE S¥ The adjourned republican caucus yesterday afternoon resumed the discussion of the fore- boon as to what should constitute a contested romination, and finally the report of the com- mittee (outiined yesterday) was amended so as to make the doubtful features clear, and adopt- ed with entire unantmity in the shape of a resolution which provides, in substance, that executive sessions shall be held forthwith (the Hirst one to-day) for the transaction of accu- mulated business in the foliowing order: First, the reference of nominations now on the table to appropriate committees; second, the consid- eration of the pending treaties, and, third, the consideration of all nominations heretofore or hereafter reported from the Senate committees which. respectively, are not objected to by one republican Senator from the state to which tbe office appertaing, or from which—in the case of & Lational or territorial appointment—tue nom- inee is to be appointed. It was further ex- Pressly provided that as soon as the uncontest- ed cases hall bave been disposed of, the caucus ehell again assemble for tle purpose of deter- mining what additional business should then be considered by the Senate; and that althouch ip the meantime the “contested cases” (as above defined) shali not te allowed to impede the transaction of other business, the caucus is left wholly unplecged as to {ts future action im regard to them. THE MBANING OF THIS LINE OF POLICY is just this: If the republicans should, without some unity of action agreed upon in advance, go into + xecutive session, the Gemocrats would to all intents and pu: control the Senate, The democratic leaders know quite well the subjects of controversy between certain repub- ican Sepators and the administration. Now, if there were no caucus ent and an ex- ecutive session was beld, tt would naturally folicw that a democratic member would move the discharge of the committee hat in charge, cay the nomination of Judge Ro! £0D, with a solld democratic vote fat such moticn, aud such republicans as are the friends of the nominee It would prevail. Hence, in this wise the democrats would control the ex- ecutive business. It was to against any such contingency the committee of safety was appointed. ‘The atm of the republican leaders ‘Wes not to have an executive session until the republican Senators agreed to stand solid, and there was & complete understanding as to what business shouid be transacted when such sessions were held. The caucus yesterday, of course of the democrats to do harm. that the repub! them. BUT THREE “CONTESTED” NOMINATIONS UNDER LOCAL NEWS. Enlivened by a Romance.
