THE SENATE, Mr. Chandler, rising to a question of per- sonal privilege,called attention to the fact that the Seuator from Florida (Mr. Call) in the debate last Thursday had uttered words personally offensive to him (which he had not then heard) and had followed up that breach of order by changing and adding to the official report of his remarks a paragraph still more me, He (Mr. Chandler) deemed it his dut; fore replying to the assauit made upon him) to bring the Senator's conduct be- fore the Senate for such action as might be deemed just and suitable for such « transgres- sion, A RESOLUTION OF CENSURE. He, therefore, offered a preamble and reso- lution stating that the Senator from Florida had charged him in debate with personal re- sponsibility for the outraging of women and the murdering of children and the destruction of the happiness of households in the south by men who were the emissaries behind him, and that the Senator had in addi- tion inserted the following paragraph, which he had not spoken: -“Phe blood of Saunders, if the evidence shall show his death was in any way connected with the prosecutions in United States courts, will rest ou his conscience, The shrieking ghosts of outraged and murdered women and children, the victims of the wild lusts and passions of a race who owe all that they know of religion and civilization to the southern white people and not to the Senator from New Hampshire, will disturb his sleeping aud his waking hours. Like Banquo's ghost, it will not down; and the ocean will not wash his blood-stained hands from the guilt of the rape and murder of these tender white women and children.” The resolution condemns such action as a Dreach of privilege, for which the! Senator (Mr. Call) is censured, and orders the words 80 inserted and the paragraph so added tobe stricken from the report in the Con- gressional Record. SENATOR CALL REPILES, Mr. Call defended his course in the matter, asserting that he had in debate expressed sub- stantially the same idea as was expressed in the additional paragraph. He had simply changed the phraseology, as he had a right to do; there- fore the statement made by the Senator from New Hampshire was not true. It was the first time in his eleven years service in the Senate that he heard it claimed that it was not admissible for a Senator to correct, to explain, to amplify the language used by him, so as to express more clearly the idea intended to be conveyed, MR, CHANDLER AGAIN, Mr. Chandler repelled the intimation that anything which he had stated was not true, He desired to have the decision of the Senate on the question presented, He asked no pro- tection for himself. He only asked that the Senate should decide whether such language might be used by one Senator in relation to another Senator, and whether the Senator trom Florida was to be permitted with bis peu, alone in his room, to write out additional charges and send them tothe public printer to be published throughout the country as if they had been actually spoken in the Senate chamber. He sent the origiual of the objectionul paragraph by # page to Mr. Call and asked whether that was in his hand- writing. ‘MR, CALL REITERATES, Mr. Call said that this was an extraordinary performance on the part of the Senator from New Humpshire, and he repeated his assertion that he had in dgbate clearly and distinctly charged that Senator with —_respon- sibility for the death of Saunders and for the other iniquities committed in the south. The report when it came to him was not, he said tull and accurate report of his and he was authorized by the com- tice of the Senate to correct and to , and he had done no more than that, TAMPERING WITH THE RECORD. Mr, Teller expressed the opinion that there should be no tampering with the Record ex- cept to correct grammatical mistakes, Cer- tainly nothing of a denunciatory character ought to be added to the report. Mr. Harris suggested that the resolution should be printed and go over tiil tomorrow aud the Senate could determine the proper dis- position of it. His own idea was that it should be referred to the committee on rules, |, PHOTOGRAPHIC ACCURACY. Mr. Hoar spoke of the necessity that the Record should be one of photographic correct- ness, as therein lay the sole sulety of every Senator's seputation for his action in the Senate, Mr. Vest ridiculed the idea of the photo- Direct transcripts from nature of famous localities in | graphic correctness of the Record and alluded EUROPE, ASIA, AFRICA AND AMERICA. ‘On View st GALT'S GALLERY, n8.et 1107 Pennsylvania ave, We ]@ => WASHINGTON AND NE EGGAPH COMPANY.

Mr. Sherman thought that the proper dispo- sition of the resoluuon would be its refereuce to the committee on privileges and elections, and said that the established custom of the Senate had been that nothing of # personal character which was not uttered should bo injected into the report. THE RESOLUTION GOES OVER. Finally, on objection of Mr. Harris, the reso- lution went over until tomorrow. Nominations Today. The President today seut to the Senate the following nominations: Jos, A.

MEMBERS KEEPING TALLY, The Speaker announced that the total num- ber of votes cast was 305 and 153 was a major- ity, During the call many members kept tally for themselves, and so it happened that when Mr. Mason's name was called he shouted out “‘sixty-five’ (meaning the total namber of votes cast for Chicago uP at int), «bub corrected hitnselt—* @ “Chicago,” to the amusement of the House. The Chicago people were jubilant upon the announcement Stone (Mo.), of the vote,but were revtrained from expressing their feeling openly by reason of the Speaker's caution _to the House to refrain from any demonstration. During the recapitulation of the names there were signs of consultation among the lead- ers, and the Chicago and Washington ople looked with suspicion upon Mr. jockery (Mo.) when he spproached Mr. Amos "Cummings (N.Y.) and held a whispered conversation with him for a mo- ment, MEMBERS PAIRED.

The representatives of the various cities con- testing for the world’s fair were actively can- vassing among the members and making them- selves agreeable, The members and the work- ers were hustling about with extraordinary activity. Conferences, arguments and ani- mated conversations were being held all over the floor. The doubtful members were pulled this way by New York, that way by St, Louis and the other way by Chicago. Washington alone had no army of workers on the floor. men, The persuasive, frien ‘ing smile for an hour never left his face. It expanded into a loud laugh at some attempt at wit by «a man he sought please, or subsided to an amiable pucker at the corners of his mouth, but never quite left his face. At one moment he was surrounded by | an interested group in front of the Speaker's desk; at another was sitting on some member's desk'with his fect dangling and his smile ex- panding to its most persuasive proportion. Meanwhile Warner Miller moved siowly about among the republicans with impressive dignity. , Ex-Secretary Whitney and Mayor Grant were surrounded by democrats, even Carlisle and Mills, who want no fair, and their influence was spreading out about them. All the other great New York workers spread over the House working in the most approved New York style. Senator Hiscock sat and watched the busy sete or joined in solemn conterence in the lobby. all places at the same time and smiling on ail | CHICAGO AND ST, LOUIS, The mayor of Chicago and the mayor of St. Lonis were there being introduced to members and doing all those things which mayors may do to excite interest in their own cities. Gov. Francis of Missouri shook hands with two- thirds of the members during the course of an hour, and Springer, Belden, Flower, Hill and Jobn J. O'Neill were everywhere, each working his best for the city of his choice. There was much canvassing, plotting and connter sere and there was talk of com- inations and changes, but the situation was no less in doubt when the vote was begun than it has been from the first, The New York folks have been doing a tremen- dous amount of work since Friday night, and this morning they were talking very confi- dentiy. It was: conceded on every hand that Chicago would start with a good lead, and New York expected to stand a close second. Noone could quite make out where Washington would stand, but it was evident none of them felt quite easy on the subject, The Chicago people have been trying their best to make a combination by which to get the St. Louis vote, but they do not appear to have been successful. The St. Louis men say they expect to stay in the fight to the last, but if they break a nuimber of their votes willcome to Washington or go to New York. THE KOLL CALL. | The roll call was begun immediately after the reading of the journal. The Speaker held that the only thing in order was to Vote on the site for the fair, He announced that the roll would ve called and each man could name the city of his choice. Washington gota good many votes in the start. which made the people in the galleries quite demonstrative. For a while the votes for each city were greeted with ap- pase, both in the galleries und on the floor, ut the Speaker ordered it to cease and there was very little demonstration after that. Before the announcement of the fitst ballot was made the Speaker requested that there be no demonstration of approual or disapproval by either the members or the people in the galleries. ‘This request was respected. After the announcement some abers be- ganto move about as if they might confer together but the Speaker commanded silence, and asked the members to take their seats, ‘The House was quieted ina moment and the second vote was begun. THE CHANGES, The first change in the vote was a gain of one for Washington in the vote of Mr. Coleman; Cogswell then voted for Chicago, making a gain for that city. Mr. Crisp left St. Louis and yoted for New York, and Mr. Edmunds left Washington for New York. Mr. Greenhalge changed from Washington to New York. Harmer changed from Wash- | ington to New York. Henderson of North Caroli- | na changed from Washington to New York. St. Louis gained the vote of Mr. McMillan. Mr. Morse left Washington for New York.

He Will Be Charged With Maltreating a Subordinate. ‘The Secretary of War has decided to order a court-martial to try Lieut, Steele, eighth cay alry, who preferred charges of insubordination against Private Dell Wild, causing his trial, conviction and imprisonment, Wild, as was stated in Saturday's Sram, was re- leased by order of the President on the ground that his trial was improperly conducted, Lieut. Steele. his ac- cuser, being judge advocate of the court. Wild has been contined at Fort Snelling, Neb., for some weeks and kept at hard lubor. He says that Steele struck him when he re- fused to perform » duty that he was not obliged to perform, calling him a deserter, His charges against Stecle, which he preferred to Col. Townsend at the time, were ignored and he was tried himself instead. Steele is to be tried upon a charge of maltreating a subordi- nate, in violation of the first article of war, and it is just possible that the testimony at his trial may develop a state of affairs, connected with the examination of Wild’s case, such as muy lead to one or two other trials or reprimands, At all events Col. Townsend and Gen. Ruger, who passed on the case on its way to the department without calling attention to its very evident irregularity aud injustice, are in an unenviable position and will most likely be called upon to explain why they aliowed such a gross breach of the law to go unnoticed, A BIG PAPER CONTRACT, Proposals Received for Supplying the Census Office, One of the largest contracts for furnishing paper for the use of the census office is the one for manilla tabulating cards.

A CANAL RECKIVER. Judge Alvey Delivers a Decision at Hagerstown Against the Bond Holders. Special Dispatch to Tax Even: Hacxrstowx, Mp., Feb. 24—The snite brought in the circuit court of Wash- ington county sitting as « court of equity, by the Chesapeake and Ohio canal bond hoiders, under the acts respectively of 1844 end 1878, against the canal company, in which the complainants ask for the appointment of re- ceivers and finally the sale of the canal, has been decided by Judge Alvey in an opinion which was given the press last evening. The opinion is exhaustive and compre hensive, in which Judge Alvey clearly expresses the opinion that neither the canal company, tho state nor the mumority of the bond holders of 1384, all of whom appeared in court as defendants, had any legal right to so appear and shows that the complainants have, under the terms of their several contracts, a right toareceiver. He says he will appoint receiv- ers, but has not as yet named them, and inti- mates in his opinion that it can be settled at once whether the receivers will be permitted to restore and operate the canal as a waterway be- cause such restoration might entail a great amount of expenditures to the prejudice of exisiting creditors, The action of Judge Alvey has created no surprise here, as it was generally conceded he would decide to appoint receivers, and when be does itis the general impression that Mr. Victor Cushwa of Williamsport will be named as one of the number along the river districts, The decision is received with much favor under the beuues that it will restore the canal as a water- company. Haczustowx, Feb. 24, 2 p.m—Jadge HL Alvey bas not yet thus far today named the re ceivers for the Chesapeake and Ohio canal —————
