THE SENATE READY TO ADJOURN—THE BUSI- NESS OF PUSHING CLAIMS FOR OFFICE GONE ouT. ‘The Senate is in an unprecedented haste to adjourn gud go home, Seuator Sargent opened the session this morning with a motion to adjourn sine die, which he desired to lio on the table in readiness to be cailed up as soon as the President should give notice that ho has no further business to submit. Two Senators Were then sent to the President to notify him that the Senate was ready to go home as soon as ho ‘would let it go, and after a little further conversation and the confirmation of a few appointments, the Senate adjourned until to-morrow, the President hav- ing meantime given notice that ne would be ready in a ‘afew days, It is provablo to-night that the final ad- Journment will bo had on Saturday, Meantime the office-bolders bave gone home, There fre, so far us can bo ascertained, scarcely any appli- cante for places in the departments or anywhere else, and many Senators already say that they will hero- Alter refuse to make applications for ofices {or their constituents, and will not act in such tatters except in reply to questions by the President. From present appearances this will turn out to be the best course, for the President docs not re- teive with favor any direct applications, and scems to de totally unaware that there has been such a thiog as Senatorial patronage and a distribution and redistribu- tion of offices according to the demands of Senators or Tepresentatives. It looks just now a good deal as though the President and his Cabinet were going to have time to attend to the affairs of the country hereafter, and to give somo thought to other matters than fillimg and emptying Offices. The Baltimore Post Office bas been the one place which has so far been forced persistently on the President’s attention, and he has now settled that mo- mentous case, Other vacancies are filled after inquiry nto the fitness of persons made of their superiors. It is understood to-night that no changes of conse- quence will be made in the foreign missions or con- gulat it thia time, and that tn fact no appointments will be made at all, except to fill vacancies or to reap- point officers whose terms have expired, where they Bre proper nen. That is to say, the whole enormous business of ‘pushing claims’ has suddenly disappeared, It anybody wantsa place he has learned to be too wise to ask for it, and the new administration goes ahead as though there were no such thing as pol- ities, “The hay at the end of the pole,” which has always been supposed necessary to make the party bucks draw in tho traces, has been takes away, and Washington, witb a new administration only ten days old, is as peacejul as a country churcbyard. All is quiet on the Potomac. BUMORS OF CUBAN ORIGIN CONCERNING TROUBLE WITH SPAIN. ‘The peoplo bere interestedin Caban bonds are setting Mfloat romors that the appointment of Mr. Evarts us Becretary of State, and his nomiuation of Mr. Fred- erick Seward as Assistant Secretary, means trouble for Spain and rencwed demands about Cuba, There is not the least reason to believe anything ofthe kind. The President abhors war and thorouzhly believes tu the great American policy of minding your own business. In bis message he spoke with espoctal emphasis of tne desirableness of seitiing all mternational disputes by arbitration and he his known to believe in this fully, le 18 very probable that ho will seek to reviae some of our tommercial treaties with forcign nations, working toa revival of our foreign trade, but tho country will not wee under bis administration such ‘Cuban flurries’? as {it has seen 1m the last few years.

PATTERSON'S PLAN FOR A NEW ELECTION IN SOUTH CAROLINA—OPPOSITION OF EX-SENA- TOR ROBERTSON, ! Ex-Senator Robertson, of South Carolina, accom- panied by ex-Congressman Waliaco, called on the Presi- dent to-day, protesting against Senator Patterson’s Proposition for a new election, on the ground that the substantial or industrial mterests of South Carolina would bo materially damaged by such election, It was further stated to the President that nonc of the republican members of that State had been consulted ou the subject, and therefore 1% was in the nature of an independent proposition on the part of Senator Pat- terson, stimulated, perhaps, bytGovernor Chamverlain, Mr. Kovertson stated that ti solution ut the South Car- olina complications could ve accomplished by more sinple means—namely, the withdrawal of troops trow the State Capito), when the people themselves would adjust the diffculty. The President received Messrs. Robertson and Wallace courteously, and, as they are natives of the State, said they would at all times be welcome, It cun positively be stated that the democrats of | Both Louisiana aud South Carolina are opposed toa new gubernatorial eicgtion in those States, aud that the President will not encourage such ¢ ection unless with the consent of both parties, , He will, however, receive from representative men, of both the demo- ¢ratic and republican parties, any suggestions im writ ing they have to make upon the subject with a view to pacification in those States, and it can further be as positively said that the administration has not yet ma- tured any plan, bat will act with due deliberation, in view of the importance of the subject presented, THE POSTMASTER GENERAL'S ANSWER TO AP- PLICANTS YOR OFFICE, Postmaster General Key finding himself nearly over- whelmed with applications for office, has caused tho following circular to be prepared for transtaission by | bis private secretary to each and every applicant, as the only answer that can possibly be given at present to any of the constantly accumulating letters :-— Post Orrick Derantuest, Wasuixatos, D.C.

The prices to be paid are nine and ninety-eight one hundredth ceats per one thousand for ordinary stamps, eleven cents for official stamps, and about fifteen cents per thou- sand for newspaper and periodical stamps, The department awards the contract to the New York city company imstead of to the Standard Pub+ lishing Compmmy, of Syracuse, althougu the latter's bid was somewhat lower, for two reasons;—First, be- cause the Syracuse company are not steei plate engray- ers and plate printers, as required by the adverts ment, and second, because, in the opinion of the departinent, the few hundred dollars diflerence be- tween the aggregato amounts of the two bids would be | tollowed, but added nothing particuiarly st dolay and other injury to the public interests involved 10 & transfer of the business to Syracuse from the place where it is now periormed, NOMINATIONS BY THE PRESIDENT AND CON- FIRMATIONS BY THE SENATE.

THE LONG JOURNEY OF SIX HUNDRED MILES— ONLY ¥OUZ HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SEVEN SCORED--WHAT MR. BERGH HAD ‘TO SAY. ‘The 600 miles ride undertaken by Francisco Peralto, the Mexican, waa brought to a conclusion last night Qtten o’ciock, the result being a complete failure. Peralto, it will be remembered, started at Gilmore's Garden on Monday evening, at eight o'clock, to per- form this sensational feat of endurance tn fifty hours, twenty horses being allowed, aud that on, Tuesday night at 9h. O7m, he had succeeded in accomplisn- tpg balf the distance, $00 miles, which left him only fen miputes to the good, At that time many of the more direetly interested persons then hovering around the judge's stand, were sure that ho would win, but if such bad narrowly watched the rider and the horses it would have been apparent that all chances of success were gone. ‘The former looked beaten at the time, and the paco at which the iatter had been sent wade many ef them almost useless.

After resting nine hours—trom 11h, 10m, P. M.

Tho next ten miles were polished off fairly, but it was now more apparent than ever that Peraito was not tn love with the condined atinosphere of the place, MB, BERGH’S OPINION OP THR RIDE, Three additional miles beimg accomplished, which scored the 378d, it was the rider's intention to retire to his dressing room for ten minutes, ond Mr, frank Whittaker, M. C,, stood up to make tho announce- ment, Then came a pretty little scene, Mr. Bergh being the principal actor, and it was about in this atyle:— Nir. Warrrakex—I will call your attention, ladies and gentlemen that Peralio will now rest. Mr. Benou (interrupting)-~Yes, aod the whole affair should rest and stop altogether, (Excitement) Witirraknn (bowing)—-Just us you say, Mr, Bergh.

POLITICAL PROBLEMS. . —_—--——— Colonel Ingersoll on the and the Law. HAYES AND HIS The Southern Policy of the New Admin- istration Commended. Constitution CABINET. ——-—___. The Iilinois politician and lawyer, Colonel Bob’ Ingersoll, who electrified the Cincinnati National Con- veution in nominating his friend Blaine for the Pre: dency, delivered a characteristic lecture last evening at Steinway Hall on “Political Questions and Answers,”? | The bad weather did not prevent an excellent attend- ance, There was a fair sprinkling of ladies jong tho audience, and a single colored gentleman occupied a front seat, Considerable anxiety was manifested ag to the tone and substance of the address. Some hinted that he would open a radi. cal bgoadside aguinst the Hayes administration, while | others hinted that he would launch forth tn adulation ) of the Ohio statesman, The latter prophecy came nearest to tbe truth. His expression, “Let us give | the President and his Cabinet a fair and honest chance,” brought out thunders of applause. Upon the platiorm were assembled several prominent Tepubheans, among them Postmaster James, ex-Police Commissioner Gardiner, General Kilburn Knox, A. B. | j | | \ | | i | | | Cornell and several others, ) A few minutes afier eight o'clock Colone! Ingersoll | took ascat on the platform. He was received with clapping of hands, and @ minute Jater he was intro. duced to lis audience by Mr, A. B. Corvell, and was re- ceived with applause as he came forward and placed the manuscript of his discourse on the reading desk. COLONEL INGERSOLL'S ADDRESS. He began by reviewing the lato political campaign tn serio-comic inanner, which clicited trequeut bursts | of laughter, Cronin came in for a considerable sharo of ridicule, as ono ‘*who elected two others by | the plurality of his own vote.”? he counting of tho clvctoral vote turvishod. the speaker ao subject. for many witty observations “The Vice President,” said he, “being a repub- lican, it was generally concluded—at-_—_ least by me—that he had a right to count that vote. (Laugh- ter.) My belief was that if tho Vice President counted right he bad a right to count it. And finally a bill was passed to count the vote if any, and to hear the teatrmony il any, and declare what men bad been elected if any. (Luughter.) This consisted of fifteen men, ten being chosen on account of | their polities and fivo trom purely geopraphical considerations.”” While the election failed to decide who was elected, Colonel Ingersoll suid it did serve 10 discover the weak flaws in the law and the constitu. tion. It saggested wouknosses that must be remedied i the present form of government was to be preserved, lis basis was the ballot, and to protect tout and keep tt pure good meu of ail parties should une. The speaker thought tho period of registration Was too short, and aiso [bat no pergon should, under | any circumstances, be allowed lo vote without being registered, “ailidavit or no ailidavit,” Voters should be obliged to register ut least one yeur betore | depositing their butiots. Sixty days before election the lists stioald be corrected, and every citizen should have the right to ener complaint or objection aguinst every naine found upon the list. Then, twenty or thirty days vefore election, the lists should Le pub- lished and exposed in several public places in each ward of precinct, and upon the day of election no man stould be allowed to vote whore name was not upon that hist, The wards ana election districts shoud be made smalier, so that people could yute without waiting an entire day ; so that the bonest busi- ness nan could go to the poils, deposit bis ticket at once, like a gentleman, and proceed without delay to his business. Uniess some such plan were adopted tnere would never be another fair election in this country. Another defect discovered by the last election was in | the form of handling the electoral votes. It was of the greatest importance that the execuuve should ve en- Urely independent of the judiciary gud legislative de- partinents of the government. The spoaker didnot believe Congress had y right to create a vacancy which could not WIL” Tho constitution uid not exactly say who should count the votes It left us im the dark. Out of this difficulty Colonel Ingersoll believea there was a very cusy way. He wanted the constitution so amended that the electors | of ull States should meet in general college at the city of Washington aud count the votes themselves, plaase.) ‘That college should decide every dispute, aud | the chairman chosen by it should aunouuce who had Leen elected. It was a dangerous thing to have the eri cal suspicion, Again, the speaker would lengthen 90 term of ollice, Elections were at present so frequent ag o interiere Wita the busiwess of the country, and 0 Was so short that whens politician failed to get one office he ran for another until the poo- plo ciected him to get rid of his annoyance. “Lengthen the te » suid he, *‘purify the balict, aud the present scrambles tor ollice will cease.” A ‘very laughable picture of the protessional oilicesholder was drawn, he was alittle higher than the beasi—a litte lower than man, The successiul office-seeker was | likened unto the centre of tue earth—be weighed nothing himselt and drew all things toward his ollice. (Laughter. ) A question pressing for an answer was whether tho general government wefends its citizens to Ube vai States It wad late’ crats that if the su vecn said by orthodox demo- © will not protect the e1izen the latter coud leave the stue. It had been | suid that the general government bud no right to march uo army across the lines of a State Lo protect the citizen unless the Govervor of that state, if the Legislature were not in sessiou ur the latter budy i1 1t were, should call upon the Presi- It the State of Timois must protect | me,’ said the speaker, if | have uo right to eall for (ue | protection of the general goverutment, ail | have vo say 5 | Is that my allegiance must belong tw ‘that guverument which protects me, (Appluuse.) What does the general | government proposo to give me 1m exchange ior my unce’ Protection, or else our government is a | (Applause.) protection of the United states ? who needs it, ‘Tho government that canuot respond | to the ery of the meanest citizen beneath ity flag when | nis rights are being trampled on, eveu by the gove ment of a sovereigu State, has wo right to existence.” | DUAL bTATR GOVEKN MENTS, | The question of dual guverument in States was another to be settled, South Carolina bad two Gov- ernurs and two legislatures, and not one cent of taxe hau been collected, A similar state ot attuirs existe Louisiaos, Colonel Angersoll ollered uo remedy tor the existing duliculty, but remarked that he thought the Executive hud no power tv aveide the quesuiva, Some way, he contended, should be adopted to preveut a repecition of the trouble, SUL another q to the vemonetization of silver. We ure a silver pro- ducing havion, the speaker suid, aud should Kut, there- , slander our owe wares. = Silver wouid buy’ bread and labor, aud whatever would do those things was 400u enough w | pay debts with, He would nave tbe government keep its word wad poy god to ail whom it had been Promised, but he wanted i paid and the debt cleared ol as boon us possibie. Ju concluding tins portion of hi declared emphatically that tere uthe North and the South—'* Not a conquered but a peace that conquers”? The declaration Was received With long and loud applause, THK PRESIDENT AND His CAMINET, Then he procevded to speak of President Hayes and | his Cabinet. Mr, Hayes, he said, cook his seat with a clear knowledge e Wants of the people, Nations had been saved by the courage of ove man. Avove ail triot, wus only a nenbs toa end, lout end being the good of the couatry and the vappiness of the people, The President took the rigot hand of the North and put itin the right band of the South, and said “Let us be friends, (Appiause.)

(Applause, ) THE BUSINESS MEN AND THR PRESIDENT. Colonel Ingersoll next went on to aliude to the moderate business element uf the country. So faras developed they were satisiled to stand vy the Presi- dent. O1 course there were impiacables at the North aod South who woulu never be satisied.

When tho President delivered Lis Inaugural be knew what a patriotic stand these genticmen had taken, He then extended to them, not the sword of war, but the clive branch of peace. It must be recollected When these expressions were used the democrats were engaged in attacking the President a4 traud, Ho advocated the digging of a deep grave and the burial of all animosities, upon the tomv of which might be placed the tuseription, “Sacred to forgetiulness,”” JERSEY TOWN ELECTIONS.
