REFUSAL OF THR SENATE TO CONCUR Tribute to Presiding Officer Ferry and Speaker Randall. TRE GAVEL DROPS AND THE SCENE CLOSES. SENATE. Wasmxotos, March 4, 1877, The Senate continued in session this morning up to S@ quarter to four o’clock, when it tovk a recess unti! nine o’clock, Upon reassembling at that hour, on motion of Mr. Mora... of Vermont, the Committee on Public Butid- ings was authorized to ait during the recess. On motion of Mr. Wapimcn, of New Hampshire, the Committee on Patenis was authorized to sit during the recess for the purpose of reviving the Patent laws, Mr. Winpom, (rep,) of Minn., from the Conference Committee on the Sundry Civi! Appropriation bill, sub- mitted a report, and it was agreed to, ‘TAR LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATION BILAL. A message was received {rom the House of Represen- \atives announcing that that body bad receded from its amendment to the Legislative Appropriation bill in Tegard to the salary of tho President. All the other amendments having been previously agreed to in con- ference, the bill was passed. The Senato then, at ten o’clock, on motion of Mr, Camuxon, of Pennsylvania, went into Executive sos- viov, and when the doors were reopened a number of pension aad other private bills were passed. On motion of Mr. BLains the Senate further insisted upon its amendmedts to the Army Appropriation bill, and asked a new conference with the House of Repre- sentatives, Messrs. Blaive, Allison and Wallace were appointed conferees on the part of the Senate. TH ARMY APPROPRIATION, Mr, Buainu, trom the Conference Committee on the Army Appropriation bill, said that there bad been a third conierence on that bill without any agreement, and he desired that the Senate should understand the exuct condition of affuirs. The conterees on the part of the House, while not insisting on the letter of the fifth section of the Army Lill, firmly maintaimed that they would consent to the passage of no appropristion Dill for the army that shail not contain such restric- tions upon the President in regard to the use of United States troops in Louisiana as will prevent him from Installing ond maintaiming the Packara government. The Senate conlerces felt compelled to risk a failure of the bill rather than to insert that provision. It would be an invasion of the constitutional rights of the President to which they could not consent, There ‘were not to-day between the Potomac and the borders of Toxas 1,000 fede troo) and the whole idea of hiverty being end: was # nightmare, If the conferees ot the Senate should receive no instruc- tions they would ineet the House conferees agaia, but would pot consent to the passage of any army bill with tee susntionenie section ip.

In his opinion it was impos- Bible to get the two committees to ugree. Mr, BLaInx said be made a proposition to empower tho President of the United States to reduce the army to 20, men during tho year if, in his discretion, it would be proper to do so, but it was not accepted, No lurther action was taken upon the matter, The House bill, grauting @ peusion to the widow of the Jate General Fraccis P. Blair, was passed.

There were few who could estimate justly the difficulties which were jnseparably connected with that position. It was out just that the House should make ac- Raowledgement to Speaker Randall for the fidelity and impartiality with which Le had discharged the duties 61 hisotice, He, therefore, offered the following reso- jutio fesolved, That the thanus of the House be tendered to Randi i Speaker Samuel J.

While he did not stand bere to speak for seeeety, yet he wished to ask the gentlemen of the South, Was it wise at this time, when all indications pointed to a chango of régime ot the ad- ministration, to force upon the Senate such a pro- vision?

Have you heard a gun fired? Havo you seen a flag hoisted? a bat thrown into tho air? or remarked any other manifestation of popular satisfaction such as would suppose from their appearance and behavior that the republicans were preparing for Hayes’ funeral rather than for his inauguration, and that his friends haa been requested not to send flowers, Rerorter—But, legitimate or illegitimate, Hayes ts to all intents and purposes as much a President as Jrant or Lincoln was, is he nov? Mr. BigkLow—-By no means. He will be invested with the symbois of power to-morrow, but the power will not be there. His thunder will be of sheet iron and his lightning will not kill, Tilden, by virtue of the sovereigaty with which the people cloihed him in November, without title or patronage, without trunch- eon or sceptre, will remain a greater pélitical force in the country than Hayes can possibly become.
