The movem~us on the political chess b0s7d are #o varied that the most ex pert player can never fc precisiou all the possible and probable moves. All eenatorisl contests In Nebraska, #o far, have had fhis fea- ture in common. The field has al- waye been stronger than the man whose seat was to become vacant. With the exception of Tipton, who drew the short s'raw for two Years sa his first term, nobady has ever been wo-elected to the sematorship in Nebranke, and it is safe to predict *hat the precedent will be adhered to in the case of Paddock.

'If Paddock's op. vonents were all centred upon one man, the foice of the opposition cou'd b broken by well dirested attacke upon the faverite candidate.

The field does not fear a atamp:de to Pad- dock, aud every candidste in the field hopes to beable to get som- of Pad. dock's following whean the bre comes. Henceall of them ara clever and tender toward Paddock men. In anothor feature the present sen- atorial contest does not differ from others that I have teen here. There is the same disreputsble gang of strikers, caveedroppers, henchmen, olicical dead-beats and renegades g.nglng around the hotele, boarding houses and gin-mills, bu'l1.z ng mem- bers who are mcce or lces dep-ndent upon the ra'coads into abject obedi- ence t0 the monopoly bosecs, and pulliag dragneis over the Seld to “eap green law-makers in'o the moo- opoly net.

F. Wood, irom the ways and {m-ano committee, reported back a resolution 02 the distribution of the president committse iiaving chargo of the sev eral subjects named in it. Among other things they recommended that the question relating to the coilnage of silver dollars be referred to the ways and means committée.

Referred. Mr. Eaton, from the committee on eign relations, reported adversely on sundry bills inrelation to the Japan udemaity fund, and also a substitute them favorably, which were placei 1 the calendar. The joint resolution extending the icanking privilege then canie up ss the inished business of the morning hour. Mr. Wallace took cocasion to state aremark attributing oue abuse of the franking privilege to him was with out foundation. Any use of his name nted. Mr. Logan d'sclaimed any inteution franking privilege. He did not pro- resolution was understood. It only relutad to busiuess from the depari- mentz. He nsked the senato to vote Lto a col tiee. Mr. Garland advocated s _reference in order that the committee might bring in a new and harmonious bill, by which the present abuse might be remedied. In the course of his re- warks he stated thathe had received (feough the mails, under an ol t, ougress, nor as far as he could s2¢, on official busir ess. Mr. Conkling ssid the law stands 100 plain to confuse aay mind on | uch a question. The law covers in 110 event avy speech Save those deliv- | cred in one of the two houses of con- vvess. The executive department | were not seminaries for orators, nor wers they debatiog societies, and there was o provision of law under +hich the head of any department, valess in plain violotion of law, could send through the mailssuch docaments a5 the senator from Arkansas sys he bad received. The law was plain 1ough that every clerk, every post- | aster, every man, woman and child | engaged in the public service might | Catermine each for himself or horself what matter should go through the mails, The ssaator had recaived a | cpeach bearing a stamp.

He inferred that the document sent to the senator was not an exceptional Instance, 1t might be, however, the senator being a warm supporter of the presenit admin:tra- tion, had been sent this as s:ocial rk of favor and confidence to let him know he stood “A” in the most favored of natios Making all al lowance for the distinguished charac- ter of the senator, and hia relation to the administration, the fact that such apeeches went through the matls dem- onstrated the absurdity of the present law. To leave, for instance, the sen- ator from Tllinois, be he rep rescnted a populous distriot, or be cause he was a distinguished officer, and received letters from the soldiery, to be mulcted $10 a week for posf age on his business, while the heade of depsriments send all kinds of speeches through the mails, was en in- justice that should be remediod. Mr. Garland said that when he men- tioned having roceived a speech kb did not expect he would aroure the jaalousy of the semator from Ne: York. - Mr. Conkling—*“I did feel it very keenly that the renator should be co preferred to all the rest of us.” Mr. Garland eaid he did not make the statement as & charge against any ufficer, but only to show that the whole subject ought to be ¢ = \ered | by the o. The department s, el though be could not eee it in that light. One of the speeches receired by him was mnde before a banking as3oclation of New York. Mr. Ingalls sald the senitor was not alone in teceiving what was not enti- tled to go through the mails free. Within the last three months he had recaived from the treasury two, and from the interior dejartment one speech delivered by officers of those departments, in envelopes provided for official business, directed by clerks employed and paid by the gov- ernment, and the envelopes, a8 he understood, paid for by the govern- ment.

The report shows that the most brazen ir- government funds and improper deductions from tho amounts due depaties were discovered. «hal could not account for the government, except by charging his deputics with embezzling it, which was entirely disproven by the agent.

He is the most notariously corrupt official that has been in the government ser- vics for years. ———— MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH, New York Money and Stocke.
