BLAIR DISCUSSED. ————— The chair lala before the Senate a memorial from the governor of Arizona, asking for the appointment ofa fourth judge of the U.S. dis- trict court. Referred to the judiciary commits tee. : The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Hoar that Henry W. Blair be sworn in as aSenator to fill a vaeancy was taken up. Mr. Vest reaffirmed the opinions expressed by him when the Bell case was under discus- sion upon the power of the executive ofa state toappolnt a Senator, He held that the vacancy which came within the provision of the Constl- tution relating fo this subject was not one occurring in the regular course ofevents by the expiration of a term, but was one related to the personal circumstances of the Senator by whose Tetirement a vacancy was made. He discussed the provisions of the Constitu- elon and quoted precedents in support of his position, Up to 1878 not a decision had been made Which was not in accordance with peepee tions The Lanman case had been admitt durin, the discussion of the right of Mr, Bell to a seat by weighty authorities on_ the republican side, is, Le @ precedentior guidance in cases of the ind, Mr. Hoar did not think it would be profitable to enter upon the wide field of discussion which this question opened. The Senate would, he thought, rest its action upon the authority of the Beil precedent. If a legislative body could ever be bound by ‘a precedent the Senate had. bound itself in that case. It was established, fter full discussion by great lawyers, and the sion was non-partisan. The great debaters ‘ed from the majority put forth their rendering it certain that the deci- nade in full view of all that had bear- ing subject. The people of New Hamp- shire had governed themselves accordingly, Should that decision be reversed the people of New Hampshire and other states would be com- pelled tochange their practice from time to time, according to the changing majorities or ope ions of the Senate. The controlling pro- vision of the constitution was that ~which de- clared that the several states sl have an equal right and authority in the Senate, Such was not the case when there was a single va- y. In order that states might be equally sented the provision was made that when es should happen by resignation or otherwise during the vacancy of the legisiature the ecutive should have the power to appoint. The provision in regarding the filling ot executive oftice by the President during the recess of the Senate was similar in character. M st held that the two provisions were not analigous, ‘The first related to vacancies which should “happen by resignation or otherwise.” in the matter of vacancies in executive offices, the words ‘by resignation or otherwise,” were omitted, Mr. Hoar asked if vacaneles could happen except “by resignation or otherwise.” Mr. Vest thought so. ‘The framers of the Con- stitution put in no word which did not havea meaning. He held that the words “by resignay, tion or otherwise” plainly meant by some cas- uaity or accident, such as death orresignation, and that they were in antagonism to the expi- ration by operation of law. Mr. Hoar held that if Mr. Vest’s interpreta- tion Was correet the phrascology would have been “by resignation and not otherwise.” Con- tinuing his retharks he referred to precedents, und held that in the Lanman case there was a clear objection, The debites were not published. The d ion in that case, not to admit Mr. Lanman, was for the clear’and indisputable reason that the governor had made the appoint ment before the vacancy existed. Mr. V id that in proof that the Lanman case was construed by the Senate as he arzued, there had been no less than eight decisions of the Senate since 1825 in accordance with the PI ‘dent, and vacancies of from one to two years had existed in accordance with it. Mr. Saulsbury said he could not vote to seat Mr. Blair. Senators who had read the procced- ings in the Lanmuan case in 1825 knew that this ery question now before the Senate had been “Happen” was held to be the governny word in the constitutional provision, as it al- ways Implied a contingency, The Senator from ssiichusetts seemed to think that the decis- in the Lanman case hinged alone upon the right of a governor to appoint toa vacancy for iy fore the vacancy existed, He uthorit how that the ele- the pendis were discussed in with the Lanman case, mmpshire at its last: uty, and now the or's right to fill a dents and author reacon to know, votes ort of Mr, Bell for e: The Senate Committees.

Senator Vance will go on the finance committee in place of Mr. Bayard, Senator Ransom will sueceed Mr. B chairman of the committee on priz yaie land claims, and Senator Gorman will ike Mr. Ransom’s old place as chairman of the committee on Potomac river front. Senator Kenna will go on the commerce committee. ‘The republicans will not be able, they say, to report the committees before to-morrow, ‘The republican caucus committee are endeay- oring to re-arrange the committees so as to meet a demand for a more equitable distribu- tion of important places. There is no little com- plaint among the Senators that a few enjoy a sort of monopoly of the best committees. For instance, It is pointed out that Mr. Edmunds is hairman of the judiciary is on for- ign relations, also on p jaims, and as president pro tempore, with almost a cer ainty that he will be re-elected to that position, Senator Hoar is chairman of the elections com: mittee, has a place on the judielary, on claims and patents. Senator Sherman is on finance,foreign relations,privileges and elections and is chairman of the library cominittee.

THE INS AND THE OUTS. Office Seekers Against Office Holders. TO KEEP THEIR PLACES—ONE, ERS WHO EXPECT TO SUC- (CEED THE PRESENT INCUMBENTS. The news of President Cleveland's election last November created a panic among the offi- cersand employes in the government depart- ments at Washington. Most of them felt that the incoming of a democratic administration meant thelr discharge. As time wore on the feeling of apprehension among the officers and. clerks subsided, Gov. Cleveland's civil service letter to Mr. George William Curtis was very reassuring to the government employes here. The inaugural address tended to still further idea of safety among the government officials, and numerous publica- Uons of late have had the effect of imparting an actual feeling of security. Now there are high officers who express the belief that they will’ be retained. A visit through the de- artments shows the extent to which the hope- heads of bureaus and is heard that they are likely to remain because of their ex) ractical knowledge of the details of their work. ‘ew men, they say, could not satistactorily fill the places they occup the higher officials is t! increase the growin; ‘The opinion among the clerks will be re- to make room for democrats; but that the men who have been holding sponsibility must things running smoothly.

Lieutenant General Sheridan has received several photographs from Fort Bayard, N. M., representing two troops of the 6th cavairy firing over the bodies of their horses, which lie flat on the ground. They are very interesting, in that they show to what extent the horses of the cavalry branch of the service can be trained. In a letter accompan; graphs Major A. K. Arnold, of 1 stationed at that post, states that in each ol four troops, averaging thirty-five horses each, there are about twenty-five horses that have been thus trained, and that nearly all of them Me down by merely taking hold of the left fore leg, The men can climb all over their bodies and fire in various positions without stirring the horses. This is the result of about three months’ work, one horse per day, barsing Sat- urdays, Sundays and bad weather, under direo- jor Arnold. Another desirable result ining is that men who were formerly timid have become courageous and confident in the handling of their horses, and horses formerl: dangerous are now thoroughly gentle.

Col. P.C. Hains, in his report to the chief of engineers of the operations for improving the Potomac river during February, states that since the 10th ultimo the ice in the river has been from four to elght inches thick, necessi- tating almost entire suspension of dredging. Bensen & MeNee’s hydraulic dredge worked about 21 hours during the first days of the month, excavating 5,280 cubie yards of mate- rial, an average of 251 4-10 cuble yards per engine hour, which was deposited on the flats, section III. As ther@was too much vibration of the engines, it was decided, on the 6th ult., to stop work and putin extra braces, After that work could not be resumed on account of the ice. The engine beds have all been well braced and defective of the machinery renewed, so that progress ought to be made wien operations are resumed. The sec- ond dredge of this kind was completed at the navy yard, but has not vet commenced work. The ‘formation of embankment along the Washington side of the fill of section IIT by, Ff. Somers was progressing fairly Rell when | heavy tee caused sus pension of work. During the month the contrac- tor has built a new chute, much better adapted fo the work. No work was done on theem- bankment on the Virginia channel side of sec- tion IIT during the month. But little work was done by the D. E. Culver company on the em- bankment of the tidal reservoir on account of theice and cold weather. No work was done ‘on thesmall tidal reservoir until February 24th, since when good has been made. This work is being done with a clamshell dredge anda chute 75 feet long, During March it is proposed to continue work under all the contracts now in force should the weather permit. The new hydraulic dredge will be put to work on the Washington channel, and about the end of the month she will be taken to the Virginia channel and commence operations ere, BIDS REJECTED. The bids for dredging and forming anembank- ment on the outer margin of sec. II of the river improvement and the southeast margin of the tidal reservoir have been rejected, and author- ity has been given to Col. Hains to’do the work by day labor, and to hire one or more dredges for the purpose, It is estimated that it will cost ‘about, The lowest bid received was $13,000. A CONTRACT AWARDED.
