RICH’S, ‘TIT Market Space, next to Sth st AT THE CAPITOL TO-DAY. THE SENATE EXPECTED TO AD- + JOURN THIS EVENING. A PROTRACTED EXECUTIVE SESSION. The Senate. In the Senate to-day the chaplain conclmled his prayer as follows: “We tarry a moment to ask a special blessing upon our dying chieftain. Be with him as he engages in this last struggle with a foe to whom the wisest and the bravest must at the last surrender; and though the skill of the physician and the kind ministries of ten- der love inay not avail to retain bim longer in our midst may the holy office of our blessed christianity have been so presented to his faith that, having fought the good fight, having fin- ished his course, he may also be glad. to testify before the world that he has kept the faith,” READING THE BULLETINS. After the reading of the journal, the bulletins relating to Gen. Grant's health were read from the clerk's desk. Mr. Morgan offered the following resolution, for which Le asked immediate consideration: THE CHEROKEE FUND. “Resolved, That the Secretary of the Interior be, and he is hereby, directed to furnish for the information of the Senate, copies of all papers and correspondence file: in his office since the Ath day of March, 1855, relating to the appro- pitation of $300,000 for the Cherokee nation of indians, and the alleged misappropriation of & portion thereof.” Mr. Ingalls objected to present consideration, and it went over for a day. EXECUTIVE SESSION, Upon motion of Mr. Sherman, the Senate, at 12:10, went into executive session. Will Not Oppose Mr. Pearson. THE DEMOCRATIC SENATORS SLEEP OVER THE MATTER AND THINK BETTER OF IT. ‘The democratic Senators have concluded this morning, after another night's thought over it, to eat their crow with as good a relish as possi- ble. Those who had determined yesterday to fight Pearson’s confirmation and administer a rebuke to the President have thought better of their rashness and say they have entered thelr protest and that they had probably better let that do. ‘They are not in the least reconciled to the appointment, but they know they could not, prevent the confirmation, and the thought of sn open split in the party has become a hideous nightmare. Then, too, the conservative en were at work last night, and have told their nish brethren that it fs not politic just now to take too bold a stand against civil’ service re- form, as it would not be well received by the people. Mr. Beck, who was so positive in his determination yesterday to. op- pose the confirmation, "said this morn- Ing that he had concluded that he could dono good, so ‘ae would. simply keep auiet and let itgo.” He willdo the sume thin with relation to the confirmation of Charles W Buck, of Ky.,as minister to Pera, After his vigorous protéstagainst Buck he was very much surprised and embarrassed when Secretary Bayurd called his attention to the fact that his name appeared prominently on Buck's petition, and told him that the appointment had been made on his recommendation, He still pro- tests, however, that he did not know the man, and did not want him appointed. Mr. Pearson Confirmed. ‘The Senate in executive session to-day con- firmed the nomination of Henry G. Pearson to be postmaster at New York. = Capitol Topies. THE MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT, The message sent to the Senate to-day 18 un- derstood to relate to the Central American troubles, A Protracted Executive Session. THE SENATE CLOSES ITS DOORS NOT TO BE OPENED UNTIL THE FINAL ADJOURNMENT. The Senate Is now in executive session, and it has leaked out that they have decided not to open the doors again until they take an ad- journment “without day.” They will probably remain in executive session all day to ¢lear up the nominations. ‘The President's messenger brought a communication to the Capitol a little after noon which was supposed to be an an- nouncement that the President, was ready for the Senate to adjourn at any time. The mes- Senger announced. also that there would be no nominations. NOMINATIONS “HUNG UP.” Itisrumored that the republican Senators have decided to adjourn without acting upon a large number of the nominations that have been sent in, Senator Beck had a consultation With Senator Blackburn this morning, and on being asked hy some one what the inatter was he replied: “The devil's the matter. The re- publicans want to adjourn and have all our nominations hung up.”” — GovrRNMENT RECEIPTS To-DAY.—Internal revenue, $262,850: customs, $584,404.

Secrerary LAMAR OUT AGAIN.—Secretary Lamar was at the department for a short time yesterday afternoon, but he did not eome down to-day untilafter the meeting of the cabinet. Tne Crow CRERK RESERVATION.—The At- torney General has decided that the executive order issued by President Arthur throwing open the Crow Creek reservation in Dakota to settlement is inoperative, for the reason that the title to the lands is in the Sioux tribe of In- dians, The lands have already been occupied by settlers, but no warrants have been issued. A treaty or an agreement with the Indians wili have to be made before the lands can be thrown open for settlement. INVESTIGATING PENSION AGENcIES—Com- missfoner of Pensions Black has issued a clr cular to pension agents, saying: “Investiga- tions now in progress show that in some in- stances very gross frauds have been pe ted upon the government through the instramen- Uulity of clerks employed In- pension agencies, You must exercise the greatest care in regurd to the selection of your subordinates. The. gov- ernment, it is true, may be reimbursed by your bond for such losses as are above referred to, but this does not prevent the resulting scandal to the service. This message of earnest caution is sent you to eall your early attention particu- larly to your own risk and duty In the premises, Investigate your agencies thoroughly, ‘Take all possible precaution to cleanse the service of every suspicious or unworthy person.” BersonaL.—Gen.

Grant’s friends and presented to Mrs, Grant, butitwent with all the rest of their property in the Grant & Ward crash, There was a mortgage of $60,000 on the property which the creditors ‘Would not allow to be taken up, as it had aterm of years to run ata good Interest, so that sum was placed in Grant & Ward's bank to Mrs. Grant’s credit at the time of the purchase to pay off the mortgage whenever itshould fall due, ‘That sum went in the crash, and It is un- derstood that a settlement has since been made holder of the mortgage has ac- Possession of the property, as the family could Rot afford to continue their ownership ofit. ———_+0+______ Gen. Grant’s Last Battle. THE SCENES ABOUT HIS HOUSE LAST NIGHT— ANXIOUS FRIENDS WATCHING THE SILENT FIGHT, WHICH CAN HAVE BUT ONE RESULT. Constantly changing crowds gathered in the vicinity of Gen, Grant’s house in New York yesterday, watching the windows and the visit- ors who came and went. A policeman, spe- clally detailed, patroled the street, but did not trouble himself about them, Another police- man turned up at 6:30 o'clock and warned the bystanders that they would get into trouble unless they kept away from the corner. Hesaid Captain Gunner had given his men special lers to keep them posing. At 5:45 p.m. Gen, Frederick R. Dent, a brother-inJaw of Gen. Grant, called -at ihe | honse, but did not remain very long. When he came ont he said he thought the general was worse than the doctors sald. A crowd of at least, one, hundred people assembled on the sidewalk in front of the house aud on the oppo- site side of the way about eight o'clock in the evening. Among them were several ladies. They conversed in low whispers and all kept their eyes fixed intently on the windows of Gen. Grant’s room. A bright light burned In thé little library and a dimmed one in the bed room. Senator Chatfee arrived shoftly before eight o'clock and went tothe sick room, A special policeman endeavored to keep the crowd in the street moving, ordering them in an anthoritative manner but in a whisper, to move; but littie-heed was paid, the: crowd eon- stantly receiving recruits, Ex-Postmaster General James and ex-Sena- tor Windom drove up. to the house a few min- utes after 8 o'clock, They were met at the door by Col. Grant, who sald: “Gentlemen, I thank you for calling, but I must beg to be'excused, father is very bad.” ‘The callers went away without entering the house. “It reminds me of the sad daysat Elberon,” said Mr. James, The following bulletin was issued at 8:30, signed by Drs. Douglasand Shrady: “General Grant is resting on the bed. He has taken his usual nourishment withoutinconvenience. The oe in his throat and his cough are relieved. 'is general condition is encouraging.” When Mr, Stanford came out of the house at 9:15 he said in reply to inquiries from a repor- ter: “Gen. Grantis now propped up in two. chairs. He is suffering very much pain. The doctors hope he will pull through the night. I Lelieve he will live until mornin; The windows of the general's ‘room were being opened every now and then, as though to give the patient alr. Bishop Harris, of Pennsylvania; Rev. Dr. Charles C. Tifuby and Gen. Clinton B, Fisk called about 10 ock, but came away imme- diately, The Military Order Loyal Legion was to have held its pannel meeting and ban- quet at Delmonico’s last night, but on account of Gen. Grant's illness adjourned after a brief session for the transaction of necessary routine business. At 11 o'clock Drs. Douglas and Shrady issued this bulletin: “Since the last statement the general has been very restless and has been walking from room to room, Now he is quiet, resting in his chair. His throat has been cleaned, and the relief mentioned at 8 p.m. has continued since.” At 11:30 the doctors and the members of the household were all in the general’s room, mov- ing about, when necessary, on tip-toe. 'From. the outside the house seemed quiet und peace- ful. Neither of the doctors would be seen, At 11:40 ExSenator Chaffee left the house. Mr. Chaffee said: “‘Ican't give much eneour- ment. The doctors feel more favorable to the opinion that the general will live until morning,” The general was lying in bed, he said, and was very uneasy. He lay on his side, with his hand gripping. the pay and his knees drawn up nearly to hischin. All the family ‘were around him, expecting the worst. THE GROWTH OF THE CANCER. ‘The cancer on Gen. Grant’s tongue has grown considerably in the last two weeks, and has probably involved the nares, which accounts for the sense of suffocation, though the position of the sore is such at pronen’ that its exact size Js dificult to determine. The general has not been able to swallow Sore ut soup or soft food for the last forty-eight hours, and is naturally wer, weak, but the attending physi. cians say that the stores of organic trouble of the heart are manufactured out of the whole clot! ‘There is nothing more the trouble with the general's heart than there would be with that of any other man who had been kept on as low a dietand confined to the house for the same length of time. For the last four or five days the physicians have dispensed with the use of iodoform in treating the sore and have substituted a gargle of permanganate of potash which seems to aiford the general great rellet. ‘They continue to touch the sore with cocaine, which is not only a local anesthetic, but also slightly astrin- nt. bait as he undoubtedly is, the general can ar- ticulate distinctly if he could be induced to speak slowly, but when he does speak he speaks rapidly, and when his tongue begins to pain him it 1s almost impossible to understand what he says. ‘The general has not cried out aloud nor complained once during his trouble, all to the cuntrary notwithstanding. The nearest ap- proach to a complaint was yesterday morning, when be, fintly, but composedly, sald “I am ooking.” ‘Yesterday he was determined and silent, evi- dently reserving all his atrength for the Anal strngple.

ASUDDEN CHANGE AND A RALLY. ‘The Early Morning Butleti ing Failnre in the New York, April 2, 7:30 a. m.—Gen, Grant passed a very ungulet night. He was con- stantly going from his bed to his chair and back again. He was annoyed at times by at. tacks of coughing, and the accumulation of mu- cons In the throat. His strength has been maintained by nourishment and stimulants, so that his pulse is reasonably stea At 5 o'clock a failure in the pulse was ob- served to such a degree that the family were apprised, and all soon congregated in the sick room. He spoke quietly with each member. By the administration of proper stimulants the general soon rallied, and 1s now quietly sleep. ing in bed. (Signed) J. H. Doveras, M.D. Geo. F.SuRaby, M.D. THIS MORNING'S CRISIS. An Alarm at Daybreak—Why Col. Fred Grant Looked for Death—The Condi- tion of the Patient's Mouth and Throat ‘His Mind as Clear as Daylight. New York, April 2, 7:30 a.m.—An hour after midnight Gen. Grant was asleep. At that time Col. Fred Grant was in doubt whether his father would be alive at daybreak. He had lit- tle hope that such would be the case, butin that he was happily disappointed. The day dawned and Gen, Grant was yet breathing. The doubt of his son was based upon the fact that the dis- ease had spread through the mouth and above the palate in the head. ‘The back of the throat was eaten into, the gums on the right side of the teeth were par- tially cousumed, the posterior and anterior arches on the right side were gone. The palate on the right side was raw, and, though the gen- eral spoke feebly, it was with difficulty and with searcely any use of the tongue. Anxiety was further augmented by a statement from Dr. Shrady to the effect that unless there was a strong rally through the night, the general could hardly survive until early daylight. From one o'clock until daybreak the general rested with Intervals of fitfulness. Drs, Doug- las and Shrady were with him and the Rev. Dr. Newman was in the house duringthe night. ‘The gas was turned low in the sick room, and in the library the physicians and members of the family waited and chatted until about three o'clock, when Col. Grant and one of the phys- {cians were on watch, ‘The daylight had come and the hour was five o'clock when it was deemed wise to administer stimulant to the patient,and Dr. Shrady gave the general a hypodemie injection of brandy. ‘This was medicated slightly, and was adminis- tered hypodermically, because of the patient's inability to swallow. THE CRISIS THIS MORNING. ‘The occasion of the stimulant was of the gravest character. The patient seemed sinking rapidly. The household was aroused and quickly every member of the family was at the bedside. Both physicians were in closest attendance. At 5:30 o'clock the group in the sick-room believed the patient was passing away, and the doctors were of the opinion that the general would not live five minutes. Stim- ulants were again administered, hypoder- mically, and, as Dr. Newman puts it, that won- derful tenacity of life and strength of intellect sustained the general. His mind was clear as the daylight he had lived to see again, and he was able, at what was deemed the critical houryto speak more freely than in the early night, The injections of stimulants were con- tinued at short intervals, and when he had re- vived a trifle and was a little stronger he glanced at the members of the family, the phy- siclans, Dr. Newman, and the attendants, all grouped still at the bedside, and he uttered these words: “I bless you all.” At six o'clock Rev. Dr. Newman engaged the family in morning prayers, and another day of anxiety and of waiting was fairly ushered in, ‘DR. TIFFANY’S CALL. From midnight no person left the house nor called until 6:05 o'clock, when Rev. Dr. 0. H. Tiffany, who was Gen. Grant's pastorin Wash- ington, called. He did not enter when told by a watcherthat there had been no evidences of trouble through the night. The doctor called thus early becanse he wason his way to the ‘Methodist conference at Poughkeepsie. ‘At7:45 o'clock Dr. Newman, who had gone for a walk, was sent for in the greatest haste, ‘THE SCENRS THIS MORNING. At8:20Senator Chaffee called, and shortly afterwards Mrs. Sartoris appeared at one of the windows, and looked as if she had been erying. U.S. Grant, jr., left the house at 8:30. When asked about his father ke merely shook his head.’ Gen. Badeau called at the house about 8:50 and Dr. Newman returned to the house at o'clock. Resting Easily. New Yorx, April 2.—Dr. Shrady left the house at 9:15 o'clock, when the general was resting easily. Still Alive, it Very Wenk. New Yorx, April 2.—At 9:30 o'clock General Grant was still alive but very weak. “ASLEEP IN HIS CHAIR. The General Trics to Go Down Stairs, Bat in Induced to Remain in His Room. New York, April 2.—At 10:10 o'clock the following bulletin was issued: “10:10 a. m.— ‘The general’s sleep in bed continued till 9:30 ‘8, m.,when he arose and tried to godownstairs. He was gently induced to return to his room and chair, where he is now sleeping. When he took his place in the chair nourishment was brought to him, which he took without objec- tion. In other respects his condition is as good as at 7:30, (Signed) J. H. Dovaias, M. D. Dr. Douglas sald that the general was con- scious when he tried to go down stairs, but the physician could not express any opinion as to how long his patient might live.

New Yorx, Apri 2.—At 12 o'clock there is no material change in General Grant's condition, A Slight Change for the Better. ‘New Yorx, April 2, 12:40 p. m.—There is a slight change for the better in Gen. Grant's condition. He is now sleeping naturally in bis ‘arm chair, CONSCIOUS AND COMFORTABLE. TWO C GEN. GRANT AND GEO. Ww. € ILDs. An Interview with the Philadelphia Editor—How Gen.

Dick Oglesby, governor of Illinois, was with him,and Dick told me that when the cheers of 10,000 people rang out at the sight of the old hero he turacd around and saw Une tears coursing slowly down the geno- ral'mghecks, f thought that it would be very hard for him to stop smoking when ‘his physicians ted jt, His indomitable wi!l made the m easy to bin, however, “Did you find Itait togive up the weed?’ I asiied him, “lv was hard Quring the first two days,’ he replied, ‘but after tat I did not mind it, I’ have no desire tosmoke again.’ Tt bgen satd that Hamiiton Fish wrote the spéech'the general made at the opening of he centetpiaiexuibition.
