EMIMND STATES. SEMA, The Debate in Reference’ to the Ad- mission of Members. MORGAN AND GROVER SWORN enemntceeeiiaematon Senator Conkling in Defence of the President's Southern Policy. oe PINCHBACK IRRITATION M lore Telegrams About Louisiana and South Carolina. peta eS ee Wasminatoy, D, C., March 8, 1877, Mr, Edmunds, (rep.) of Vt, was appomted a director on the part of the Senate of the Columbian Institute for the Deaf and Dumb under the act of July 27, 1868. The Senate ¢ resumed consideration of the un- finished business, being the resolution of Mr. Bayard, of Delaware, “That the credentials of John T. Morgan, Senator-clect from the State of Alabama, be taken from the table and that he be sworn.” Mr. Srencer, (rep.) of Ala, moved to amend the Tesglution so ag to refer the credentials of Mr. Morgan to the Committee on Privileges and Elections, In sup- port of his motion 4o objected to the admission of Mr. Morgan because he believed his election was procured by fraud, intimidation aud violonce. 1s was by such means that the democrats obtained control of the State, and the late election in that State could only be designated as a tarce. He spoke of tho condition of affiirs in Alabama since the close of the war, and said ono fact stood forth prominently above all others, and thas was that the opposition on tho part of the whites to the nogro exercising his rights was as powerful as ever. Ho argued’ that there was social ostracism against al! republicans and they wero refused work by the democrats, In the clection of 1872 the republicans carried the State, and they had a majority now, with a tair clection, a& well as then. He quoted from the report of a committee of the House of Rep- resentatives, of which Hon, John Coburn was chair- man, which invest:gated Alnbama affairs in 1874 to show that republicans were driven from their homes, ballot boxes stolen, and the polls taken — possession of by the demucrats, Ho claimed that by democratic legislation the nogro in Alabama had been almost entirely thrust out of poli- tics on account of his race and color, in direct viola- hon of the constitution of the United States. The heroism displayed by white republicans in Alabama in adhering to the republican party challenged the ad- miration of the world. They bad for years been tried in the fire of bitter persecution. Ho argued that tho Tepublicans elected in 1874 had been legislated out of office by the democrats. before Mr, Spencer concluded his remarks Mr, Paddook, of Nebraska, asked him to yield for a motion for an executive scsgior, and Mr. Spencer agreed to do so, but a largo number ot Senators on both sides of the Chamber objected to the motion, and it was with- drawn. Mr. Spencer, resuming, argued that democrats from Georgia and Mississippi had voted in Alabama, Would the people of this country consent, would the Senate tonsent that tho constitution of the United States should be violated, and recognize the usurpation of these tonspirators in Alabama by seating the applicant? There were millions of people in the South who should be protected. Free schools no longer existed in nis State. He claimed that the colored man had exercised the right of suffrage with moderation, wisdom and intelligence. The Senate should reluse to seat the ap. Plicant, and thus proclaim to the people of the South that the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution must be respected. STILL HARING ON MY DAUGHTER. Mr. Mortoy, (rep.) of Ind., said he would not voto to Teter the credenuals of Mr. Morgan because was enti- led to be sworn in on bis credentials, He believed bo bad a prima facie case equal to that of Pinchbuck or Kellogg—not a whit better, He could not let this oc- casion pass without calling attention to the late olec- tiou in Alabama. The report of tbo sab-committeo of the Commitiec on Privileges and Elections, submitted to the Senate a few days ago by the Senator from Wis. consin (Mr. Cameron) showed that the election in Alabama in August last was fraudulent, WHAT WOULD NAVE BEEN. He argued that if the etection in Alabama had been fair there would bave been a republican majority in the State, both houses of the Legisiature would have been republican, and the result would have been quite different. Thousands of republicans in the State were prevented frum voting, and the republican party lost At Jeast 10,000 votes on account of the ‘emocrais re- (using to’ open the polls in some of the precine Some 15,000 to 20,000 votes given for the repub-, beans bad been counted for the democrats. While he called attention to the — frauds in Alabama he would not stultify his own record by voting to refer the credentials, He believed Mr, Morgan should take his seat, and if apy investigation should be made it must take place ulterward. Ho thought so in the Pinchback case, bus all bis democratic iriends thought diflerently. Mr. Buaixe, (tep.) of Me., explained bis remarks of yesteruny in regard to the Senator from Delaware (Mr. Bayard) having in nearly every instance voted against. a mujority ‘ol the judges, and said the record showea he was correct. In the same conneciicn be quoted from the remarks of Mr, Key while be was in tho senate (nominated yesterday for Postmaster General) in re- kurd to the case of the Oregon elector, to the effoct that he rogarded the action of the Governor of Ure- gon as wrong, but it was not more reprehensible than the action of the returoing boards in Louisiana and Florida, and, resuming bis remarks, Mr. Blaine said Mr. Key thov went on tu say ke supported Tilden and Hendricks and believed them to have been honestly elected. (Sensation. ) e amendment of Mr. Spencer to refer the creden- of Mr, Morgan to the Committee on Privileges and Elections was Unanimously rejected without a division, ‘The original resolution that Mr. Morgan be sworn Was then unanimously agreed to witlrout a division. Mr. MORGAN Was escorted to the desk of the presid. ing pilicer by Mr, Gordon, and the oath was adminis- tered by Vice President Wheeler, . ‘ THE CASK OF GROVER. Mr. SARGENT, (rep.) of Cal, moved that tho Senato 0 INLO executive session, but at the request of Mr Wallace, of Pennsyivania, he withdrew the motion, and Mr, Wallace moved that the credentials of L. F, Grover, Senator from Oregon, be taken from the tablo and tbat he be sworn. Mr. SarGext submitted tho following a8 a substi- tute: Whereas under the constitution and the laws and the practice of the senate Latayette Grover, claiming to be a Bonator trom tho State of Oregon, ix eredentinis being regular and in due form. wif there being no contestant tor the seut, is entitled to admission to a seat in this boay on the prime facte case presented by such credentials, not- withstanding the objections contaived in the petitions of chtisens of the State of Orogon againgt his admission; erefore, Mtowulved, That the credentials of Lafnyette Grover be taken fromthe table and the oath of ofice administered to him. Resolved, further, that the petitions of citizens of Oregon, containing charges against Latayette Grover, lie on the table unul the Committee on Erivileges and Elections is organized, when they shall be referred to such committes, together with the credentials, with instructions to investi Kate such charges aud report Hy to their truth or falsity. Mr. WaLLack accepted the savstiiute., Mr, Coxkiixo moved to amend by mserting in the f preamble after the words ‘no contestant for the seat,” the following :—"tAnd there being in said State but one body ciamming to be the Legislature and but one person claiming to be the Governor, aud there being no doubt or dispute as to the existence of one legal, Tightial State government.” The umendient was accepted by Mr. Sancent. REMARKS OF BENATOR CONK LING Mr. Conkitno said bo had beard it atlirmed that the faine reason which eutitied Mr. Grover to be seated upon & prima tacie entitiod Mr. Kellogg W be seated Upon a prima facie cuse yesterday. It that position Was sound inlaw and sound in truth it proved con- ciusively the caprice of those who voted to reter lis credentials yesterday, He denied that there was auy analogy, (hat there was apy resemblance, between the two cases, The Oregon case was ove in which there was a Legisiature—an ascertained constituuonal Leuislature—and — necessarily but one, lt was # case in which there was un — ascer- vained and acknowledged Governor, aud only onv constitutional Governor, because the conguiution did not acknowledge 4 duai Executive in avy State. The facts in the case Ol Mr. Grover made up a prima tacie tase, and the claimant wos entitled to his seat. After ward any investigation could be made the alleged plying behind the certiticate, ‘The Senate knew, world knew, thatin Louisiana two rival bodies hotly contesting, restrained from violence and tumult dy the arm of power, had been asserting each against the other that it was the lawful body, the lawful Legis: lature of the State, lt was equally notorious that the Governors had been sworn in, and cach was assert- Ing that he was the lawful Governor, and ex- erung the prerogat! the attributes of the Kx- rontive O/ the State, ‘The essential question im regard to Louisiana was Whether thire was a legal Legista. jure in Louisiana and whether there was a lawi erner, and that queation the Senate would be called” upon to decide, Whether a lawful Legisiataro existed fu the State or not did mot stand bebind the certilicate | opened, at five o'clock, adjourned, NEW YORK HERALD, FR of Mr. Kol but stood before it—in front of it. It was propo: that tue Senate should decide the case yesterday without even being permitted to see one word of the testimony taken by the Committee of 1 Senate, and while the copy of that testimony laid upoo. the table of the printer be, Jor one, wae not ready to decide in such haste, He could not forget that the late Chief Magistrate of the United States, not more Mlustrious for bis great deeds than bis common sense, Was pot able to ascertain, with all the lient he had after three months’ examnation of the subject, that Packard bad been elected Governor of Louisiana, or tbat the Legislature which supported him was the legal Legislature of the State, When the late Executive of the pation had beep unabie to ascertain that fact it seemed to him (Mr, Conkling) that it would be suita- ble for the Senate to wait until there should come from the public printer the testimony already take: ACTION OF THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION. It bad been stated in debate that the case of Mr. Ks logg might bo treated as in some way decided or determined by something done by the Electora! Com- mission, He then referred to the decision of the com- mission 1p the Louisiana case, and argued toat the commission beid they could not go bebind the certitl- cate because their power was limited by the clause of the constitution in regard to counting the elec toral vote, but the Senate, determining upon the qualifications and returns of ite members, rust in- quire whether there was a legal Legislature in the State, and whether there was a Governor satisfying the constitution. The present alleged Governor (Packard) had never, that he was aware of, been recog: nized by any department of the government for any purpose, He did not even certify to the electoral youo Irom Louisiana, as that was certified to before tis claim arose, The Electoral Commission decided it had not the power to look behind the certiticate, and now the argument was made that because the commission could not look behind the certificate the Senate could not, ‘This question bas some significance, wo, in the light ot events swiltly passing beture us, PRESIDENT HAYES’ POLICY, Addressing the Vice President he said:— The other one you, sir, on the eastern portico of the Capitol, overlooking in immense concourse of people, saw the oath of office adminiatered to t hief Magistrate of the Republic, in whose election, under the forms and sub- ‘of law, all parties and all factivns, whatever thelr convictions mixht have been, peacetuiiy aequtesced. Standing to bo endowed with the pawerot the Chief Magi trate he uttered to hix countrymen thing of the prin ciplos, the purposos, the ingpirations, which would actuate his administration Mr. CoykuinG then quoted from the inaugural ad- dross of President Hayes 1a regard to Southern affairs, and, resuming his remarks, #aid:— Can itbe thas the Chief Magistrate who uttered those words doos not dosign, with & conseientions aim, at right to find out, to nscertain, to declare why, in truth, on the 7th of November last, Was chosen the Governor ot Louisiana t—who, 1m. truth, of these coutestants, In the various Legislative districts, were entitied to sit And oun. stitute the Legislature of ‘Louisiana, to constitute that body, despite ot which there cxu bo. no other with w, character higher than a mob; and if the Chicf Magistrate freshly anvinted with his groat duties, doos mein, as we are bound ty believe ho does, by the modes provided in the constitution and the law, to ascertain the very truth of tho election in Louisiana, sail it be sald that on the threshoul of his administration, ax he entered the of ofticial life, the Senate, in order to be consistens and allow Mr. Grover, Senator from Oregon, to be xworn in, must proceed without any investigation of a committee, to close the door in the face of the President or leave him, if his judemont requiced him to do it, to attempt to recoznine one State government, although the Senate hid recognised another, or bow betore the busty assertion of the senate, mado without investigation und before closed by a judg: Inent, ‘no matter low. repugnant to. his. Judgment it might be ? In conclusion, Mr. Conkitxa again alluded to tho Louisiana case, and said he thought it was consistent to refer the grave and serious issues in that case to tho Committeo on Privile; lections and to refuse to refor the credontiais of Mr. Grover, involving onuirely different principles, Mr, Morton, (rep,) of Ind., spoko of the facts neces- sary to constitute a prima facio case, and claimed that the case of Kellogg was regular on tts face. He came with the proper certificate, signed by the Governor, and, thepetore, bud prima facie case, which was not invalidated — because there was another body jn the State protending to bo the Legislature or another person in the Stato pretending to be Governor, It had been argnod here ‘that because General Grant did not recognize the Pack. ard government the Sevate should not do Ho had ag much respect for the late President as any other man, but he failed so see the force of the argument mentioned. The views of the late President could not be brought here to jnfluence the Senate, Mr. TuuRMAy, (dem,) of Utio, said he had nothing to say in regard (to the Louisiana case to-day. When the committee reported on that case if he was able he would express bis = views. He arose now for the purpose of referring to the charge agaiust Governor Grover in the petition presented by the Senator from Uregon (Mr. Mitchell) yesterday. They were general im their character and ds vague as it was possible tor language to make them. But Governor Grover desired him to say that he courted the fuliest investigation, and he would there. tore vote fur the resolution offered by the Senator from California (Mr. Sargent). Mr. MeMintan, (rep.) of Minn., argued that Packard had w complete and unoroken title to the office of Governor of Louisiana, and was de jure Governor ot that State, Mr, Savnspuny, (dem.) of Del, said it had beon Stated that the peopie of the city of New Orleans were an armed mob. A mcre unjust of erroncous state- ment bad never been made. He commented on tho Packard government, aud argued that it was an usur- pation. Mr. Packard had no ttle to the office, and was alraid to show himself out of the St. Louis Hotel, which he oceupied as the State House, He (Mr. Sauls- bury) believed the ladies of New Orleaus could drive the whole Packard government out of the city, pro- vided 1t Was not aided Ly the federal power of the United States, (Great Inughter and applause in the galleries.) The Viow Presipzxt admonished the occupants of tho galleries that applause must not bo repeated. Mr, SAULSKURY, resuming, argued that no ono was 80 poor as to do Packard honor, and it was madness to attempt to impose upon the people of this country a inau barricade! in a hotel as the lawiul Governor of a sovereign State, He was not surprised at the words of peace ultered by Mr. Hayes; thoy did honor to his heart and honor to his head, fle (Mr, Sauisbury) was not not in favor of ius election and did not believe be was eciected ; but now that he had been clothed with the duties ot office be was glad to see that he appreciated the high duties imposed upon bim by his oath, He was surprised at the attempt made on the floor of the Senate to bull-doze the coming administravion, and the announcement that its policy must not be pacific, He trusted Mr, Hayes would bo deal to the appeals of partisans and obey the high benests of a statesman, Mr. Hows, (rop.) of Wis, referred to the case of Packard and said he was not an outiaw, but he could not show himself on the strects of New Oricans, If the people of New Orleans were law abiding, why should Mr. Packard be afraid wv show bimsell betore them. It had been said he claimed an office to which he was not entitled. ‘The saine thing had been said ubout the Presideut of the United States, and yet in this law abiding city that President was not afraid to show himself, This fact seemed to him (Mr. Howe) to distinguish the character of the people of Washington Jrom the character of the people of New Urleans, Mr. Wuyrs, (dem.) of Md., said ho bad no objection to the preamble and first resolution submitted by the Senator from California, but he would vote against the second resolution in regard to investigation, It had not been the practice of the Senate to permitin- Vestigatious as to its members where general charges were made without specifications. When the demo- cratic party was in power and certain charges were made against a Senator from Pennsylvania of dificrent politica by the Legislature of the State, the majority refused to order the investigation upon general charges. The Senate owed it Lo its dignity to take no notice of these broad and loose charges against Mr. Grover. If any of the logislators of Oregon bad Leen bought let it be inquired into by the Legislature of the State and ci.arges be presented with specitications. If Governor Grover had rocired his elecuon by corrupt means, and the charges should be presented regularly, be would voto Jor un investigation, and if found guilty he would voto to expel him, Mr, TuurMAN said be concurred in every word ut- tered by the ator from Maryland, but he would voto for the resolution on account of Governor Grover, who desired and invited the closest scrutiny. Mr. Sarcesr said he did not desire to discuss tho truth or falsity ot any of the charges against. Governor Grover. The memorial camo to the Senate properly aud lawfully, and he thought tt best to have the inves« tigation that the facts might all be ascertained. But 11 nis friends desire that there should be no investiga. tion and that Governor Grover stould rest under the charges unless the Legislature of Oregon came forward With an indictinent he was satistied. Mr, THURMAN said there Was no desire to shield Gov- ernor Grover from any investigation. THK DUAL GOVERNMENTS. Mr. BLAtNe, of Maine, seut to the Clerk’s desk and had read the following letter:— Wasninetox, D. C,, March 8, 1877, William M.

But it was in democratic hands, It was procured by Haskell, who is the chairman of the Democratic Committee in South Carolina, He understood a simi- Jar letter had been sent to New Orleans, ‘The tirst resolution submitted by Mr, Sargent ju the case of Senator Grover was agreed to without division, Mri Bayanp said he was authorized to state thatit was the purpose of Governor Grover to offer a resolu. tion, 1f he should be admitted, calling for the fullest investigation of ail the charges against him. Mr. Sancent then withdrew the second resolution, and Mr. Grover was escorted tothe desk of the pre- siding officer by Mr. Bogy, and the oath of office was Administered by the View President Mr. THUKMAN Said atu jormer session of the Senate the credentials of J. B Eustis, claiming to be a Sena. tor from the state of Louisiana, were referred to the Committee on Privileges and Elections, The com. mittee reported against the right of Mr. Eustis toa seat on (he ground that the vacancy had been filled by the election of Pinchback. Subsequently the senate ided that Pincbback was not elected. He therefore submitted a resolution that the erudentials of Mr, basis be taken trom the table and reterred to the Committee on Privileges and Elections, Laid over 11 Losinorrow. The Senate then, on motion of Mr. SARGENT, wot into executive sovsion, and when the doors wat SENSITIVE SPITZ. LEGISLATIVE INQUIRY INTO THE CHARACTER OF THE MALIGNED PETS—STRONG TESTIMONY FOR AND AGAINST THEM-—STRANGE STORIES OF THE YATAL EFFECT OF THEIR BITE. {BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] Boston, March 8, 1877 Spitz dogs were under review by a legislative com- mittee in the Capitol during yesterday and to-day in reference to the proposition for » law ordering the ex- tinction of this breed of canine pets in consideration of their specially poisonous character. In yesterday's session a bumber of ladies and gentlemen gave testi- mony, many of them certifying the Spitz as most af- fectionate, amiable aud harmless creatures. But the subject dispinyed also its ead and sombre sido as well, A Mrs. Knight, of Chelsea, told in an affecting manner of the death of a Gfteen- old daughter who suffered all the agouies of hydrophobia in its worst form. She was bitten by a pet Spitz on aSunday and died as described ou the tollowing Tuosday. Inasmuch as the dog did not appear to be mad, the interence is that the Spitz breed ts likely to be poisonous under all circumstances, In the cage of the child of Mr, Alley, of Wenham, who died a terrible death, the Spitz was not mad at the time, and only a moment betore the child was bit- ten the dog had taken a drink of water, The attack of hydrophobia in this case wos not until some six weeks after the bite, Elijah Morse, of Canton, described the death of a woman at Hyde Park recently, resulting trom the bite of a Spitz dog, WAN IT HYDROPHOBIA OR FRIGHT? Thomas Cuouingham, of Somerville, gave an ex- tended account of the death of Mr. Dadiels, of Somer- ville, letter carrier, u tew weeks ‘The dog, which was a spaniel, and nota Spitz, had bitten Mrs, Daniels first, but she did not believe he was mad, and ‘no trouble ever resulted from the wound, Mr. Daniels pumshed the dog, and in turn was himself vitton quite severely, Mra, Daniels timmediately sucked a largo quantity of blood from the wound, and a physician was called and dressed it, ‘The dog became very sick, but not violent, and died quietly the noxt day in Mrs, Daniels’ lap The wound of Mr. Daniels scemed to heal up, but his friends kept talking to him about te uanl be at length became nervous, and in his alarm bogan to read medical works on hydropbobia, “Nellie,” be said one day to a niece of bis in the Post OMice, “1 have made my Jast route, and you can tell the boys 1 have gone home to die.” He went home, coutinued to grow worse, and nothing could make him believe that he would get well. Ho declared to Mr, Cunningham that he would dic quietly, as the dog had died, and his pre- diction was verified, Atnotime did he exhibit any violence, or frothing, or snapping, or suarling, aa is usual in cages of bydrophobia, It was Mr. Cunning- ham’s opinion that Mr. Daniels aied wholly from fright, for if the dog had beon mad why would not Mrs. Cunningham’s wound bave proved fatal? Tho physicians, howeyer, all pronounced it a genu'ne case of hydrophobia, and furthermore it was subsequently learned that the spapicl whicn inflicted the wound upon Mr, Daniels and bis wife bad a iow days belore been bitten by a rabid Spitz in Brighton, Mrs. Daniels ‘up to this time bas felt no ili efects trom her wound, EVIDENOK OF GOOD CHARACTER. 'To-day’s hearing was attended by quite a number of ladies and gentiomon, and the door of the cominittee room was guarded by a fine specimen of the black Spitz, Mr. U. Frank King, of Boston, testified tuat ho bad raised half a dozen Spitz dogs, and that he had been bitten by them nine times. He had nover been troubled, and he did not consider the breed specially dangerous, Dr. A. H. Nicois gave the opinion of meal. cal experts relative to ravies, and quoted from Ziems- sen’s **Practice of Medicive.’? The geveral tenor ot bis remarks was that there was no evidence that Spitz dogs Wero any more liable to rabies tian any other Species, and that their bite was not any more dan- gerous. Mr Richards, of Boston, gave bis experience with Spiiz dogs of the general tenor that their bite was pot dangerous. Mr. C. G. Kimball, of Lawrence, bad owned five Spitz dogs at diferent times since 1863 and had raised two of thei bimgelf. He and his wife bad both been bitten by them without apy serious results. He bad a wide observation of Spitz dogs and did not consider them dangerous. Mrs. Talbot, of Boston, thought that pure Spitz dogs should be trained diflerently from other dogs, and that they should not be exposed to the sun. Sho had brought up three of the pure Spitz oreed, and thoy were very inuch like children, requiring as inuch care when they were teeth- ing. She did not consider them as dungerous as the black and tan yariety, and they were the most intellt- rent dogs she ever kuew, Sue bad been bitten by them and no trouble joilowed, HYDROVHOBIA A DELUSION. James Joy, of South Boston, had owned a tomalo Spitz tor five years aud raisod tour paps. They were Nervous, sensitive dogs, and il cornered they would bite, He thougut hydrophovia was a aeiusion, as he bad been bitten by ali kinds of dogs. He never knew @ Spitz dog to go mad, He would rather ve bitten by a dog than vy a horgo ora man. He was bitten vy a ‘woman once, In a row 1n North street, and the result was a very sore hand. He thought that a Spitz needed better cure and diferent treatment than other varie- ties, and they needed more waver. ‘This concluded the special hearing relative to Spitz dogs, and the comimitice took up the various petitions relative to further protection (rom doga in general, DOG LEGISLALION.

A lnrgeand enthusiastic mecting of bankers and other lending citizens was held on the steps of the ‘Treasury Building at one o'clock yesterday alternoon. The call for the mecting was gizned by members ot tbo prominent banking firms in the city, It was addressed tothe citizens of New York without distinction of purty, Tho object of the meeting, as stated in tho call, was lo express disapproval of any attempt to abridge the constitutional powers and duties of the Executive and of any opposition to a fair trial of his policy of conciliation and retorm, Several speeches were delivered strongly urging Prosident Hayes’ right to construct bis own Cabinet as ho thought ft, The policy of paciiication in the South, civil service reform and specie payments were indorsed, A series ol reso- Jutions embodying these sentiments were adopted, WHO ATTENDED IT.

Tho majority of them were evi- dently business men who bad snatched a few moments from their occupation to assist in the expression of public sentiment, Here and there, however, could be seen the bare arms and muscular forms of mechanics, who had left their daily work to join their voices in tho ery for retorm. The hour and place were well chosen tor gathering a crowd, but the rattle of passing stages and wagons seriously embarrassed the orators. Among those preseat could be scen representatives of the following leading firms:—Benjamiu B, Sher- man, Samuel PD, Babcock, John J, Cisco, James M. Brown, Moses Taylor, Charles Lanier, K.P. Fabri, Jobn Jay, E. C. Benedict, Drexol, Morgan & Co., E. D. ‘Tappen, J. D. Vermilye, Houry F, Spaulding, Howard Potter, Johu Austin Stevens, A. S.

He said that it Was bis earnest couviction that national pros- perity was only to be obtained by an adhesion to the policy of President Hayes in pacifying the South and pusting good wen in oifice, looking rather to the snter- ests of the whole country than to party distinctions, THE RESOLUTIONS. Mr. Stevens then presented a preamble and resolu- tions, and moved their adoption, After several #p ches in their favor they were adopted, as ful. jOws -— Whereas both parties, by theirfSenators and Representa- tives, agreed to abide by the decision of the Kiectoral Gom- mission ahd 80 protect the pedce and weltare ot the coun- uy; Teonulved, ‘Thi reeownize th Resolved, That favor of the pern both parties are honorably be itutional authority of the his uxural in pb th with equal tection to all citizens, of a thorun in the civil rervice, und of unearly return to specie payments, com mendsitsel! to te country as ono ontitled to the Tuirent trial.

You wiil thereiore excuse the paucity of speakers, but I bope you will join with us and respond to the call, Three or four days ago the sun rose bright upon anew Prosideut eniering into the duties of his office, When the President was in- augurated, peaceably and quietly, we looked with con. fidence upon it as the dawn ol 4 new era tn politics— og the close ot the old system of politics and the beginning of a new. We have been disappointed, Twenty-four hours later wa tind that the wishes of the new President have been thwarted by his own advisers, and untortunately by advisers within the ranks of his own party, | believe that this meeting in support of President Hayes’ new policy will be the veginping of # series ol similar meetings throughout the country. 1n this country the vor populi is the vor Dei,”? Mr, Jolin Jay, President of the Union League Club, who was standing conspicuously on one of ths upper steps of the Treasury building, was spied out by the buils and bears on the sidewalk and frequent calls were mace for him toaddresa the meeting. Alter some little hesitancy he stepped torward and said:—"Gentlemen and fellow coontrymen, | have to thank you for the kindness exbibited in calling ne out on this occasion, 1 approve most bearuly of every syllable that has been tpoken here, and ‘of — everything embodied in the resolutions that you wilt adopt, L apucipate from this country the most decited disapproval of any attempt to biock the wheels of goverowwent by thwarting the new President as regards the adoption of the policy of conciliation and retorm so admirably expressed in bis inaugural address, 1 willask leave of you to excuse me trom making any Jurther remarks, At the regular meeting of the Union League Club to-night sttailar genuments will be pressed and resolutions will be adopted similar to tnose | now belore you.’? EXTINGUISH THE OBSTRUCTIONISTS. Mr. George 1, Hope next addressed the meeting, as follows :—"Mr, President and Gentieneon—L am not a speaker, bat Lama eitizea, and 1 believe that our ly that whieh Presid Hayes proposes to accowptiah, Lt is because I believe it most positively tuat lam here to- day.

Mr. Eaton reported the resolutions, somewhat mo fed, as they bad been prepared for presentation at the Special meeting, which was adjourned till last night, SUKKCU OF DORMAN tk BATON. He stated that the resolutions had a double aspect, as they excited the reasons which had caused the repub- hean party to lose 60 much prestige and strength and also the viows entertained of the maugural address and of the nominations fur the new Cubimet, He sad that it was very likely that there might be a difference of opinion as to the causes which had so reduced the republican strovgth, as well asim reference to the policy which the administration should adopt for the restoration of \hat strength, He affirmed tt to be bis opinion, and he beneved it to de the opinion of ni faithtul repubheans, and consequently that it ought to be the opinion of this club, that the repuotiouns had grown weak aad had lost their majorities because they had been unfaithful to their party pledges, because they had adopted the partisau policy had put un- worthy men in office, Because, in addition, they had tolerated schemes which were in their nature cor- Tupt and indetensible, and for that reason the honest and iotelligent party sentiment of the country bad lost contidence in republican leadership, ‘The way to Fegan strength aud hovor was to staud up for the faith(ul performance of all pledges; to put the best men forward into office; to boldly adhere to true Principies, Whatever the consequences, and to do what Was Just and rightin all cases to every class of tne people. Mr. Eaton then presented tho resolutions drawn up by the commitice, and they were received with enthu- Siastic. applau When the loud clapping of hands bud been stilled sutficiently to allow a speaker to be heard, Judge Davis stood up, and said with much earnestness that he desired to put the Fesolutions in even stronger language, SPEKCH OF JUDQX DAVIS, “Lwant,” ho said, ‘to express our approbation of the nominees of President Hayes, for the places in his Cabinet, 1 desire tb strike out a tine in the second resolution, and to preface the third resolution with an’ amendment which I have hustily writte Ho then read the proposed amendment, which wus received with loud ana general applause somo of tho memburs rising trom their seats and evincing the heartiest concurrence with the clr aud trenchant tone in which the amendment was couched, Mr. Davis continued:—f regret that we did not adopt tha resolutions at the last meeting, for the m- augural address of President Hayes bas anticipated much which we have here said, and I don’t liko to be cut out in anything. L teel like the Mohawk Dutchman who when called upon for a toast at adinuer oftered the following :—‘Nothing tastes so good to a man as what he eats himself, » Mr. Chairman, I feot that we have pad the sweetest portion @f our meal tuken from us by the incoming President 1m his address, ”? Mr, Katou rose at the conclusion of Judge Davis! romurks and said tuat he willingly accepted the pro- posed amendment, which is incorporated in the reso- Juvions printed below:— TUK RESOLUTIONS, Wherons, the republicnn party, with whose prineipton this club hax always beon identibed, alter commanding great Majoritios in’ the States, in Congress aud in the national canvass, now thnds itsell, from snot sale to misconceive, in power only by the valance of # single clectoral vote and ‘couironted by & — poaniblo majority of the poopie and by an actual majority in the Honwe of Representatives: and whereas our experi- ry 4s well ax the present temper of the public mind should admoninh tts that our supremacy in the future will depend tar lesk in the want of merit in our adversaries, upon our avowed policy, or upon our noble achievements in the past than upon $6 real character and doings of the Incoming administration; and whereas wo have in terms at Joust ndierod to our essen inl principles as a party, and it has, therelore, been all the more pliusibiy und effvetively, it ‘not trushiully charged that the dminuition ir prestige und” in our inajoriues — has duo to infidelity to ledges, to putting en inoltice to aurrendering to party dictation, her abuses which we aught to have prevented; and tain that we have lost nothing by fidelity to the sof public duty, and having stil wishaken nd character of the repub- feeling. higher stand: ater strength und stability will be nor by a selfish and pledges, by | and the the wh ople f partisanship and every att n iL OF power At the expense of truth, justice every secure offi ‘ie ‘That such a policy was cloarty foreshado principles by which the republican tand were plainly set torth in Pre: etter of acceptance; and that in address we recux fidelity 10 ges thus made, as welt omprebension of the ' conditions uj which the pacification of the States, the prosperity of ness, reform in the civil service an. the honor of the canbe secured, And so long ay his administration s fait.fal 40 those principlen it will reevive th elub. conrtna TH Resolved, That in the camxer, ations made by President Hayes for tuembers of his Cabinet we recognize hix good tnith to lis avowed principles, his generous desire to pacify Gixcurdant elements and to bring all portions of the Union into harmonious devotion to the best interests of the whole country, and that in our judgment these nominations enght to be promptly confirmed.

But the American Congress devised a way of peace, of order aud of law by which anarchy wus avoiued, and by loyally adhe ing to that pian both democrats end republicans had fixed the government upon a surer basis, and had to popular principles of republican institutions another giorious and imperishable triamph.

Ho said 3 init that the welfure of the country did not require, Pere was not a word in it which tho poorest begro or the richest white might not hear with joylui satisfaction, and the insinuation that he, @ gentioman aud soldier of the Union who had shed his bioud in the detence of the government, would betray any Union man or any other man fur any p pose oriu any part of the country was an insult which harmed bim who offered “it, but not bin at whom tt was aimed, President Hayes proposed also to grapple with the hyara-headed monster of our civil service system. Nothing did more to inflame party spirit or foster public corruption than the abuses of this system, In dealiug with these he would require the support of ali good men, and be bad a right vo do- mand of them that they who supported bim should make those hands strong which they knew to be pure, A NATIONAL SPR He confossed that his beart The trees around thom were already swolling into lite, shrubs would presently begin to bud, and the ait would soon be tull of the song of birds and the per. fuiue of flowers, and instead of this bare and somure lundscape the glow of sunshine would irradtute the Jund.
