Mr. Morgan Makes Remarks About the Election Bill. COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS. SENATE, The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Morgan directing the committee on privileges and elections to amend the elections bill so as to show what are the changes and modifica-~ tions intended to be made was taken up. Mt. EDMUNDS’ POINT OF ORDER. Mr. Edmunds reserved a point of order against the resolution to the effect that the parliamentary mode of amending a bill is by offering an amendment in open Senate, or by moving to recommit. Mr. Morgan admitted that his resolution was an unusual one, but he justified iton the ground that if he were to move to recommit the bill that motion would be attributed toa Aesire to delay action. He called attention to the fact that there was not now a quorum of Senators present and that there had not been more than fifteen Senators ing since the Senate had o'clock. ‘The Senator in charge of the bill (Mr. Hoar) had found himself entirely unable to have a night session yesterday because there was no quorum. He inferred, therefore, that that very distinguished Senator (admitted to be great in every part of his senatorial duties) could not be great as a leader, or else that his bill had not such merit as to captivate the af- fections of republican Senators. He (Mr. Morgan) would have made a motion to re- commit the bill but for the fact that he knew that motion would be instantly taken hold of and given out asa motion for delay, wherens his resolution was offered in absolutely good faith and addressed itself to the lawyers and patiiamentarians of the body in a way which, e thought, they would not be able to resist. No Senator on either side of the chamber could rise and inform the country what the bill contained. That would not have been so if the bill had been the work of some skilled legislator or able lawyer, but it was a patch work, made up by some intervening man who thumbed his work,pmixed up his provisions, got them into» clond of uncertainty and left Senators to ascertain, in the best way they could, what is the text of the bill and what the text means. Mr. Morgan went on to point out some of the uncertainties, contradictions and defects of various provisions of the bill. MR. HOAR'S REMARK. Mr. Hoar remarked that Mr. Morgan's hints and jibes as to the origin of the bill were founded upon absolute ignorance of what he was talking about. Mr. Morgan admitted that that was true, but said that that ignorance was the offspring of the mind of the Senator from Maxsachusetts, who had left himself, the world and the Senator from Alabama all in ignorance of what the bill meant. He saw the two Senators before him (referring to Messrs. Hoar and Enmunds), one of whom announced some time ago that he (Mr. Morgan) was more crazy than usual, while the other said now thst he was absolutely ignorant. He would inform those Senators iat whatever they could do with their own con- stituents about matters of that kind they could not convince the people of Alabama that he ‘was either an ignoramus or a fool. DID NoT MEAX TO BE UNCIVIL. Both Mr. Edmunds and Mr. Hoar rose; but the latter succeeded in obtaining the floor, and he explained that what he meant was that when Mr. Morgan attributed certain sections of the bill to Mr. Davenport and certain others to him (Mr. Hoar) he could not ibly know what he was talking about, and could only be nessing, and he was ait ther mistaken in is guess. That was what he meant. No man had a higher respect than he had for the legal learning, the senatorial abilities and the per- sonal qualities of the Senator from Alabama, and if the phrase which he (Mr. Hoar) had used was an uncivil one, he expressed his regret for having used it. Mr. Morgan resumed his argument and had not finished it when the morning hour expired (at 11 o'clock); but he said that he would try to elucidate subject a little more fully to- morrow. WILL REPLY TO MR. GRAY. Mr. Higgins eaid that he did not feel at lib- erty yesterday, when Mr. Voorhees had the floor, to make such an answer to his colleague Qir.

Mr. Sherman, from the committee on finance, reported the bill to provide against the con- traction of the currency and for other pur- pores (the caucus bill), and it was read twice and placed on the calendar. ‘MR. CALL'S SPEECH. The election bill was then taken up and Mr. Call addressed the Senate in opposition to it. It was the most important bill (he said) ever presented in the history of the legislation of the country. Its enactment into law would constitute a change in the powers of the gov- ernment as great as that which characterized the republic of Rome when it was changed into amonarchy. The Earl of Strafford had been impeached by the British parliament in 1643 for an attempt to subvert the fundamental Jaws of tho kingdom, and the pending measure was quito as foul an attempt to subvert the fundamental laws of the country.

More Temporizing Between the Silver Men and Their Opponents. REFUBLICAN FREE COINAGE MEN WILL PROBABLY COMBINE WITH THE DEMOCRATS TO SECURE THEIR END--TEXT OF MR. STEWART'S AMEXD- MENT—THE CLOTURE RESOLUTION. It is expected that the action of the Senate | finance committee in substituting the provision for 200,000,000 2-per-cent bonds to take the place of the fourth section of the caucus finan- cial bill, which provides for the purchase of silver to replace bank notes re tired, will consolidate the silver forces and it is linble to result in the adoption of @ free coinage bill. For the past two days the silver republicans have been divided, some mistrusting and some having confidence in their eastern anti-silver asso- ciates, The course of the committee has opened, the eyes of the silver men and aroused them to action. Senator Stewart introduced a free coi amendment to the bill this morning. ing on the subject he eaid toa Stak repo: that the bill ax amended was designod merely to rehabilitate the national banks, and that the silver men had no interest in it’ The purchase of the surplus silver heid by a pool was not a matter the advocates of free coinage were in- terested in. REPUBLICAN SILVER MEX TO COMBINE WITH DEMOCRATS. All the republican silver men are in an inde- that there will be a combination between them and the democrats who agree with them. ‘The matter again seems to be at a crivix, The conciliatory disposition on both sides is no longer apparent. The silver men have di to act. and expect to upon & comage bill, with which they will displace the election bill, next week. ‘The issue seems to have been made by the necessity for the leaders to either yield oF else follow their own inclinations and let the fight come. On both sides of the financial question the time for temporizing is regarded as about at an end. MR. ALDRICH AND THE CLOTURE RESOLUTION WAITING, Meanwhile a curious scene is presented in the Senate. One of the democratic Senators is talking leisurely, while Mr. Aldrich sits on the edge of his chair awaiting an opportunity to offer hix cloture lution. An opportunity was given Mr. Stewart to get in his free coinage amendment,but Mr.Spooner could not interrupt a speech to get in his clo- ture resolution. MR. STEWART'S AMENDMENT. Mr. Stewart's amendment provides: “That any owner of silver bullion not too base for the operations of the mint may deposit the | Same in amounts of the velue of not less than $100 at any mint of the United States, to be formed into standard dollars or bars for his benefit and without charge; and that at the said owner's option he may re- ceive instead an equivalent therefor in the treasury notes of the act approved July 14, the purchase of treasury notes And such 1800, entitled ‘An act directing silver bellion and the issue of therefor, and for other purposes.’ treasury’ note recived, res med and reissued in the same ury notes, and may be held by any national banking association and counted as part of its lawful reserve.” a ee IMPORTANT NOMINATIONS.

He Says His Colleague Does Not Oppose Him and His Re-election is Certain. Referring to published reports that his re- election to the Senate was uncertain, largely because of the oppositioa of Senator Wolcott, Senator Teller said tea Stax reporter today: “There is no foundation for the report and never hasbeen. Mr. Wolcott and myself have worked in perfect harmony ever since his election to the Senate and Iknow I have his good will and earnest support in my candidacy for re-election. I have no 0} osition in my own party and have not Wit ‘postbly one or two exceptions every county and district in Colorado adopted reso- lutions indorsing my course in the and pledging their legislative candidates to my sup- port. The state republican convention also gave me a similar indorsement. The hold-over senators voluntarily pledged their votes to me before election. Hence the absurdity of the stetement which Isee published in the New York Tribune that I have sent emissaries through Colorado to secure written pledges from the legislature. Thave done nothing of the kind, because, if for no other reason, it was not necessary. The republican majority in the Colorado legislature is 21 and I expect to be re-elected by that majority.
