WHERE THE PRESIDENT WILL Go 10 Cnurcu.—The President has, as yet, given no thought to the selection of a church for regular worship. He will attend a Presbyterian church, as all his family were brought up in that faith. ‘The statements that he would worship at the New York Ayenue church were unauthorized, but itis not improbable that he will, eventu- ally, decide upon that church, Several mem- bers of his household attended there yesterday.

Tue Wire Hovse Cook Rerarxep— Before President Arthur retired from the White House he gave such a good recommendation to his French cook, Chef Fortin, that President Cleveland has retained him in his service. Chet Fortin had a pretty busy time under President Arthur.

Also, communications from the Secretery of the Interior and the At- torney General, notifying the Senate of their acceptance of cabinet positions, and requesting the President of the Senate to so notify the legislatures of their respective states, THE CREDENTIALS OF ME. BLAIR as Senator to fill a temporary vacancy were laid before the Senate and read. Mr. Vest moved that they be referred to the committee on privileges aid elections. Mr. Edmunds objected, as also did Mr. Hoar. Hoar called attention to the fact that pré isely the same condition of fhings prevailed in the case Of Senator Bell, of New Hampshire, when the Senate decided, after full nm, in favor of seating that Senator, Mr. Edmunds sald the Bell ease was exactly similar to the present, and that it had been settled fairly and fully without party division. Mr. Saulsbury said h> was aware that the samme question arose upon a similar ease from New Hampshire,-but Se.iators who were then resent would remembe! that the right of Mr. ell was very strongly contested, and on that occasion, for the first time, he believed, in the history of the Senate, it’was decided that a governor of a state inight appoint @ Senator under such circumstances. Mr, Dawes suggested that the proper and usual course was to receive the credentials and seat the Senator, and then if there were ques- tions to be settled they might goto the commit- tee on privileges and elections. ‘Mr. Vest’s motion was lost without division, Mr. Hoar moved that Mr. Blair be sworn in Mr. Vest objected. Some discussion ensued regarding the bearing of the rules of the Senate upon the right of a Senator to send amotion of this character over under oulestion Mr. Hoar read the record in the’ case of Mr. Spofford, of Louisiana. ‘On that oceasion Mr. Thurman moved to ad- minister the oath,but Mr. Edmunds had offered objection.

THE BACKBONE RATLROAD. The resolution offered on Friday by Mr. Van Wyck, making inquiry of the Secretary of the Interior with regard to the issuance of patents to the Backbone road, was latd before the Senate. Mr. Van Wyck was zed and said: “It would be considered a matter of sincere regret that an administration which succeeded to those which began a quarter ofa century ago to break the power of organized capital and check the aggressions of the greatest monopoly. which ever cast its blight upon the continent should have clouded its good name in the last day of its existence more than could be done by any word oract of its enemies—that its final act should have been performed at the dictation and in the interest of corporate wealth, ;whose power had grown to be omnipotent whose aggressions 48 deadly as the one overthrown. ‘The bonds of slavery had been broken, but the nation had been abjectly surrendered to the more tyran- nizing monopoly of corporations. The mysteri- ous record of the Backbone railroad was @ most remarkable chapter. Mr. Van Wyck then went into the history of the grant at length, and was severe in “his comments. He said: “It was claimed that there was a Special meeting of the cabinet—its last—to legalize this fraud. Did the actual settlers on this land have any advocate there, and were their rights protected?” MR, TELLER'S REPLY. Mr. Teller took the floorjust as Mr. Van Wyck at down. Mr. Teller pronounced the resolution of Mr. Van Wyck to be offensive in Its tone and terms towards the executive department of the government. Fie said the question enabled the mover of this resolution toappear as he had on previous occasions, as the special champton_of the laboring classes and the down trodden People, and the bitter opponent of corporations nd corporate Interests, Mr. Teller said that Senator Van Wyck had been'a member of the committee on public lands, but in the quiet of the committee room, wheré legislation for the protection of the peo- ple, if itwas needed, could be framed and pushed, he (Van Wyck) had been as silent as the grave. It was only in the open sessions that. Mr. Van Wyck declaimed in places where he could have the hearing of the press and be he alded to the country as the friend of the down- trodden people. Mr. Teller then proceeded to explain the Backbone land grant. Important Nominations. ‘The President sent the following nominations to the Senate to-day: Charles 8.

THE ALABAMIANS DE! A prominent member of Congress from Ala- bama, the most distinguished member of the delegation from that state, was asked by a SrAR reporter to-day about the story published indifferent papers, that that delegation pre- sented to the President a list of names selected to fill the federal offices in Alabama, and asked the immediate appointment of the men: that the President curtly responded to the effect that the members of the delegation had not, ay read the elvil service and tenure-stoth nd_he would send them copies of these acts. ‘The Alabama Congress- man replied that the members of Congress from his state had not presented any names, or even. one name, fo the President for appointment to occ.

Bayard, Garland and Lamar—were selected for the cabinet, This leaves Senator Pugh as the first on the Ist of the democratic minority, and should the demo- crats get control of the Senate during his service he will become chairman of the committee: The prominence of the Judiciary committee, ‘and the fact that the President took three out Of the four members belonging to his party for his cabinet, have rendered places on that com- mittee more desiralle than ever, and there is no little competition aiong democratic Sen- ators for the vacancies. ‘The republicans think nator Exarts ouxht to be on the judiciary committee, but the only vacancy existing in the majority membership is the one created by the expiration of Gen.

EX-ATTORNEY GENERAL BREWSTER INTRO- DUCES HIS SUCCESSOR. Attorney General Garland, accompanied by ex-Attorney General Brewster, entered the Su- preme Court chamber about twenty minutes before 12 toxlay. They took seats at the front table, within the area reserved for the bar, and while waiting for the meeting of the court, the new Attorney General received the congratula- tions of his frlends among the members of the bar. Immediately after the formal meeting of the court Mr. Brewster arose and presented Mr. Garland as his successor. In this connection Mr. Brewster took occasion to make his grate- fal acknowledgments to the court for the unl- form kindness which it had extended to him, Mr. Garland arose, and after thanking M Brewster for the courtestes shown him, sald be would make every possible exertion in the ale charge of his duties to merit the respect and en- tire confidence of the court. When Mr. Gar land satdown the chiefjussice bowed to him pleasantly and directed the clerk to enter the hew Attorney General's name on the records. ‘The chief justice then nodded to Mr. Brewster ‘and expressed the bope that he would be seen hereafter among the members of the bar of the court.

They have left the Capitol building and are assembled in the hotel lobbies and about the White House. The fact that none of them have received any encouragement in their efforts to assist the Fwesident in “turning the rascals out” has provoked some grumbling, and caused many to Inquire if New York is going to runthe government.
