Owing to absentees and pairs, it was developed early in the evening that a quorum was lacking. A call of the Senate was or- dered and the Sergeant-at-Arms was directed to send for absentees. The night was wasted in ef- forts to gota quorum. Over forty roll calls were had, and Sergeant-at-Arms Bright sent telegrams recalling twenty-four absent Senators, including even Senator Fair. The democrats did ‘most talk- ing, and when necessary did not _ hesitate torefrain from voting to break a quorum. Itis sald Senator Vest in a speech reminded the repub- lcans that during the dead-lock last spring, he declared that the democrats would maintain their stand, if necessary, until “the snow falls.” He re- ated this declaration. He sald the democratic enators were determined to prevent “the consum- mation of the nefarions bargain with Mahone,”and nO amount of persghal discomfort would deter them from remaining in constant session until ber, if that were necessary to carry their int. During the afternoon Senators Logan and ‘oorhees had & lively tilt in regard to their devo- tion, respectively, to the union soldier. The’ debate was’ carried on in a. very good nature as a whole. The burden of the democratic argument was that the nomina- tion under consideration was the result of a bar- gain; that it was intended to influence ‘THE ELECTION IN VIRGINIA. ‘They dwelt, at considerable length, upon the let- ter of United States Judge Rives, of Virginia, to the President, advising him that he could aid in the election of a republican Senator by appointing Stratham. The republicans retorted that this nomination was to supplant an oficial who had been guilty of irregularities, and that it was the democrats who were influenced by political mo- fives; fiat ete cue fight was based upon ce lea Of assisting the! © Peni vir- a aslating party ‘pending THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS. At the republican caucus this morning tt was very apparent that a majority desired to get away. All of them are exceedingly anxious to get home. _ The commissions of a large number of fed- eral officers expire with this year, and republican Senators have not had an opportunity since Presi- dent Arthur's inauguration to consiilt with their constituents in regard to filling these positions. ‘They want to get home and make selections for these offices’ in time to submit them to the President when Con; meets in De- cember. The caucus concluded that the withdrawal of Stratham’s name would let them off without the disagreeable necessity of surrendering the fight. ‘The prevailing opinion among the Scn- ators was that the President would consent to the withdrawal, but It was suggested that he “had a mind of his own,” and it was virtually decided that if he refused to withdraw Stratham the republi- cans would maintain the fight for him as long as the democrats resisted. Ths Senate went into exec- utive session before 1 p.m., and resumed the con- SENATOR HILL'S RESOLUTION “condemning federal appointments made to in- fluence state elections,” 1s sald to be designed by the democrats to force the present discussion of the present contest into open Senate. ‘The demo- crats want to make the matter as public and con- spicuous as possible, and as Senator Hill's resolu- tion really relates to the question at Issue, discus— sion of it in open Senate would probably bring out, by repetition, all that has been said In secret ses: sion, ‘WHAT SENATOR HILL SAYS ABOUT IT. Senator Hill said to a Srar reporter about this Tesolution :—“ It explains itself. We have abun- dant evidence that the President is making ap- ntments for the sole purpose of influencing the irginia election. Now, I am not telling what has occurred in executive session when I say we have abundant evidence that banzains have been made in federat offices for political purposes, and we must rebuke it, or the people will be debauched and corrupted.’ I intend to push the resolution at the first opportunity.” +. _ ‘The Market Troubles.
