the president and silver bill.
Washington. Nov. 22.—The New
York Post'll special says the President,
iu conversation with a prominent offi
cer within forty-eight hours, declared
unhesitatingly that he would veto
any silver bill which does not ex
pressly except the public debt from
its operation. He will not approve
any measure which has the slightest
tendency to impair the national cred
it, or cause holders of national securi
ties to think that they will be paid in
currency of less value than gold.
COMMITTEE ON PRIVILEGES, BY 6 TO
3 INSTRUCTED TO REPORT FOR
KELLOGG.
The Committee on Privileges and
Elections voted this morning fl to 3, a
strict party vote, instructing the
chairman to report to-morrow to seat
Kellogg as Senator from Louisiana
for the long term.
WICKERSHAM POSTMASTER OF MO
BILE.
The Committee on Postofflces of
the Senate have had Wickersham,
postmaster for Mobile, under fire for
two days. No result.
SPOFFORD VS. KELLOGG.
1:00 I*, m.—It now appears the de
cisive vote in Privileges and Elec
tions was not taken. The vote, how
ever, is considered indicative. Spof-
ford and Kellogg are each to be al
lowed half an hour for argument this
afternoon, when there will be two
elaborate reports requiring several
days for preparation.
THE LOUISIANA AND SOUTH CAROLI
NA SENATORIAL QUESTIONS.
The pressure is tremendous on the
Senatorial question and the impres
sion prevails that should the question
be forced eurly next week the result
will be the seating of Ilutler from
South Carolinu, and Kellogg' from
Louisiana. It is known that Senator
Conover,of Florida,will vote through
out for seating Butler from South
Carolina, and as at present advised he
will vote for seating Kellogg. Cono
ver’s friends say of him that his
action in these cases is entirely of his
own volition and must not be con
strued that he is going over to the
Democracy. They claim for him that
he has maintained a consistent record
and will be firm notwithstanding the
pressure brought to bear upon him,
and while a Republican he has the
honesty and courage to do that which
his own judgment dictates is right.
He believes General Butler entitled
to his seat as duly elected and will
therefore vote for him as persistently
as he did for Mr. Pinchback.
PACKARD LUNCHES WITH HAYES.
Ex-Governor Packurd, of Louisi
ana, had lunch with the President
this afternoon, and spent two hours
with him in conversation about the
situation.
alliances. Itrwas to be hoped they were
holy alliances. There had ' been
whispers of alliances pending for
sometime and which were yesterday
suspected to have ripened into cer
tainty—alliances relied upon to trans
fer the majority from one side to the
other side of the Senate. He felt it
his right to ascertain by the earliest
method who were the allies, the re
serve recruits and how many there
were. It seemed that a inotio'n to lay
on the table not being debateable
would produce a very early revolution
ot the coalition, and show how it was
that the control of the Senate was to
pass away from the majority ns here
tofore constituted, and like the star
of empire westward take its way.
Here lie looked towards the west or
Democratic side of the chamber.
Bearing on the question, Mr. Ed
munds is (looted: I have read the
record with considerable care, and I
find that the chairman of the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections
did attempt to persuade my honora
ble friend from Indiana and others of
that ilk that it was ungracious, un
just. unfair and uuueeoedwuted. L«t
me tell my honorable Mend that he
and others should undertake to trip
up the heels of u committee of this
body- before they hnd an opportunity
to Investigate a matters that it had
been thought worthy to send to them
THE CAMPAIGN IN TURKEY.
London, November 22.—The ope
rations near Kutschuk, as reported by
the liussian and Turkish bulletins,
indicate a disposition on the part of
the Turks to attempt the repetition
of Mehcmet All’s tactics for relieving
Plevna by threatening of the Czaro-
wltcli’s army and Danube crossings.
The Turks nave repeatedly asserted
that the Czarowltch’s force has been
materially weakened In order to
strengthen other positions. Suleiman

FORTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.
Washington, November 22.—The
Senate occupied the morning hours
in discussing motions of Thurman to
amend the journal of yesterday's pro
ceedings, so that it should not show
that the pending question was a mo
tion of Hoar to lay on the table a res
olution to discharge the Committee
of Privileges and Elections from
further consideration of the Butler
credentials. He argued that Hour
had withdrawn that motion by unani
mous consent.
In the vote this morning Conover
and Patterson voted with the Demo
crats.
After some discussion Thurman
withdrew his motion to amend the
journal.
Mr. Windom, from the Committee
on Appropriations, reported with
amendments the House joint resolu
tion in relation to the Paris Exposi
tion Exhibition. Placed on the cal
endar.
The Senate then, by a vote of yeas
29, nays 32, refused to lay on the table
the resolution of Mr. Thurman to
discharge the Committee on Privile
ges and Elections from further con
sideration of the credentials of M. C.
Butler as Senator from South Caro
lina. Messrs. Davis (of Illinois),
Conover (of Florida), and Patterson
(of South Carolina) voted with the
Democrats in the negative.
The question then being on the
adoption of the resolution, Mr. Ed
munds (of Vermont) moved to amend
the resolution so as to discharge the
committee from the further consider
ation of tlie credentials of Mr. Kellogg
as Senator from Louisiana, instead of
Mr. Butler us Senator from South
Carolina.
Upon this motion a debate followed.
Edmund’s motion to insert the
name of Kellogg instead of Butler in
the pending resolution to discharge
the Committee on Privileges and
Elections from further consideration
of the case was defeated—yeas, 30;
nays, 31.
Conkling then submitted an amend
ment that the Committee on Privi
leges and Elections be directed to
report in the matter of Kellogg and
Spofford, and meantime the South
Carolinu case be postponed. Rejected
by 30 to 82.
Edmunds then submitted a motion
to discharge the committee from the
consideration of Kellogg and Si>of-
ford. Rejected, by 30 to ?2.
Edmunds then moved further con
sideration be postponed to Monday.
Rejected, by 30 to 31.
Edmunds moved the Senate ad
journ to Monday. Vote, 31 to 31.
Conover, in tills instance, voting with
the Republicans and the Senate ad
journed to Monday by vote of Vice
President Wheeler.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
Washington, Nov. 22.—Conkling
in the Senate to-day, said regarding
his call for the ayes and nays on
Hoar’s motion to table Thurman’s
motion to discharge the committee
from further consideration of the
South Carolina case, his purpose in
calling for the yeas and nays on the
motion to lay on the table was to put
it beyond the reach of recall or mover
of withdrawal by any laxly. He had
no hesitation in avowing his reason
for this, there had been, if not ru-
jnora, whispers of new and strange
By that sort of method,
(I believe that is a parliamentary
word), by that sort of method, which
in .some conclave somewhere adjusts
matters of this kind, appealing to the
judicial sense of this body in the
dark, as a campaign in war time Is
supposed to lie adjusted, with spies
and scouts and tactics and telegrams
and ciphers and so on, and then
march into this arena of serene jus
tice, as it is so often culled upon such
questions, and with the troops all
drilled and the guns all loaded, take
the ease that happens to be most con
venient in order to make votes. They
fast cut that off from consideration,
and thereby acquire strength enough
by the same solid methods to prevent
any other than a similar dis]x>sl.
tion of any other like cuse
without any regard to the
evidence. Mr. President, if any
thing of that kind has occurred,
as it Is notorious in the newspapers
that it has, then it does not commend
itself, it appears to me, largely to our
consideration, but my friend from In
diana now tells me that the Chairman
of the Committee on Privileges and
Elections says that the Kellogg ease
ought to be investigated. Ho It ought
but not less so than those that stand
later on the calendar of the Senate,
and as I presume on the calendar of
the committee, und tliat ought in all
justice and truth be taken up in
their order and fairly consid
ered and disposed of. But to
introduce the tricks of the theatre,
the shiftings of the scenes, the lap
doors and the drops in the dark comes
to manifest, and muster a solid body
of men to cut the knot in this way.
ft appears to ma It does neLaHaw Joy
friend u large chance to say that the
chairman of the Committee on Privi
leges and Elections thinks that we
ought not to discharge the Committee
from tlie consideration of Kellogg,
when my friend und all his associates
say that we must discharge them
from the consideration of a case that
they have not been able to reach,
because, as it is said, it is a little more
convenient to get a certain person
admitted to a seat in this body by that
method (for I wish to keep strictly
within the proprieties of this occasion)
than by the other. Ho it is, Mr.
President, that with great hope,
knowing how patriotic and how un
partisan my friend und his associates
ure, I appeal to them. Let us dis
charge tlie Committee from Kellogg
and dispose of his and Mr. Hpoflbrd’s
case. If it is right to discharge the
Committee before inquiry and reports
where the Senate have already de
termined the subject in their own
minds by their own votes, let us do
it in the first case.
First then, 1 think my friends so
voting to do that, I will unite with
tliem’in carrying out their own prin
ciples and practice. We will vote to
discharge the committee in tlie South
Carolina case, and will spend a week
or two in finding out what wo can do
with ourselves here. Very well, let
the Senators vote with me to discharge
the committee in the first case. They
say tlie committee ought to be dis
charged from them all. If that is tlie
order of tlie Senate, I submit to tlie
will of the majority, and when we
have disposed of the first, I shall be
very seriously inclined to
relievo the ' committee from
consideration of Corbin and Butler.
While, as I say, we can take up tlie
papers and the evidence, we are* au
thorized to summon witnesses our
selves, and they cun be heard at the
liar of tlie Senate, and thus we shall
then have the pageants that have
been rarely witnessed in history that
will be so honorable to the principles
of my good friends, and the other
side, so satisfactory to the sense of tlie
American people, and go on with the
investigation in that way. Let us
have peace, Mr. President, and con
ciliation.

Miss Florence Adele Vanderbilt,
daughter of Win. H. Vanderbilt, will
be married to Mr. Hamilton McK.
Twomhloy of Boston on Wednesday
evening next, at 8 o’olook, in Ht. Bar
tholomew's Church, at Madison ave
nue and Forty-fourth street. The
wedding trousseau, which is now be
ing prepared at Madame Connolly’s,
in East Bixtcentli street, is a marvel
of richness and elegance. It is jeal
ously' guarded from curious eyes, lmt
a personal friend who has seen it says
that it Is undoubtedly the most elab
orate and costly outfit ever given to
an American bride.
The wedding dress is of white satin
brocade, trimmed witli three kinds of
iiiou—tumid puuiLDoiiH Venice, mid
point applique—with pearl trimmings
and orange blossoms. It is in tlie
Princesse style, with tlie neck cut low
a In Pompadour, and tlie bosom filled
witli lace fichu and pearl trimmings.
The corsage is short, and finished
witli a licit at the waist. Tin* front
of the dress is trimmed witli festoons
of lace, supjxirted by three folds of
satin drapery, coming to tlie front
and caught up with bouquets of
orange blossoms. Tlie pattern of tlie
lace is exquisite. Each festoon is a
quarter of a yard deep, and bears a
beautifully interwoven design in
flowers representing roses, lilies, and
baskets overflowing witli floral treas
ures of ail sorts. Each alternate fes
toon is of point Venice and point ap
plique, and tlie intermediate ones are
of round point and point Venice. Tlie
lace is tlie finest that tlie ateliers of
tlie Paris modistes could furnish, mid
eclipses anything heretofore seen in
tills country.
The bottom of the skirt in front is
trimmed with sectional sliirriugs of
white satin, filled In between with
bouquets of orange blossoms. At the
sides the trimming is deep, and
? ;rows gradually narrower toward the
rout. A11 elegant court train of
white satin brocade extends three
and a half yards back from the body
of the dress. The brocade ruiiH Into
points at the bottom, with several
rows of white satin pelisses laid un
der the points, making a very stylish
effect. A choice trimming of round
point, point applique, and point Ven
ice enibellishes the train, which is
also adorned witli pearl trimmings of
great beauty, The sleeves are entire
ly of lace, set oft’ witli orange blos
soms. Tlie cost of tlie whole dress is
known to be greater than that of Nel
lie Grant’s, or of the one worn by Miss
Lizzie Tweed at her wedding, and
which represented over $5,000, ex
clusive of diamonds.
Among the other elegant costumes
of the trousseau are the following: A
sulphur-colored silk, composed of sul
phur and white brocade. The waist
In out n la Pompadour in points, witli
Valenciennes and pearl trimmings
laid under. Otherportionsof the trim
ming are Valenciennes luce,
with chenille. There are two
pairs of sleeves, one of Valen
ciennes and the other of white
chenille net, in meshes one-quarter of
an in square, each corner being
caught up with a pearl bead. This
is a costume of rare beauty.
A magnificent bluck silk, trimmed
with chenille lace and amber beads,
very rich.
A maroon velvet shirred on u silk
foundation, trimmed with coke feath
ers of tlie same color as tlie velvet.
There is an almost endless variety of
summer, reception, evening, traveling
and morning dresses, ui) of tin* costs
liest and most elaborate description,
and cut und trimmed in the highest
style of tlie dressmakers’ art.
Tlie only bridesmaid at tlie mar
riage ceremony will be a young sister
of the bride. Her costume is of white
embroidered gauze und sutin. Among
tlie dresses to bo worn by members of
tlie bridal party on tlie evening of
tlie wedding are the following :
A superb luvender satin brocade,
trimmed witli un exceedingly fine
quality of Valenciennes luce.
A cream-colored mutelasse und
satin, trimmed witli Valenciennes
und pearl. It is cut in tlie Princesse
style, with court train and waist a la
Pompadour.
A11 elegant pink silk und maroon
velvet, trimmed witli Valenciennes,
chenille, and amber beads.
Tlie lingerie of tlie trousseau in
cludes tlie finest luces, linens, cam
brics and embroideries, and recalls,
in extent and variety, tlie wedding
outfit of tlie Grand Duchess Marie of
Russia, of which such elaborate de
scriptions were published in the Lon
don newspapers.—.V. V. Sun.
Fifteen Year* In l*rl*on.
Here is a scrap from tlie reminiscen
ces of a Hungarian nobleman who
spent tlio best part of his manhood's
life in prison:
“Fifteen years I was in this dun
geon-—a rough, dark, noisome place,
no more than ten feet square,” lie
writes: "During six years I bud 11
companion—during nine years I wus
alone. I could never clearly (list i 11-
guisli tlie gloomsomeness of our cell.
The first year we did not sleep, we
talked incessantly together; wc rela
ted every incident of tlie past which
we could call to mind—told of our
joys ami our sorrows—over and over
again. The next year wc refrained
from relating experience, and gave
to each other our thoughts upon nil
sorts of subjects. During tin* third
year wc grew silent. Wc were losing
the power of reflection and tlieold ideas
were forgotten. During the fourth
year we spoke but seldom, and then
only to wonder if the world without
was bright and bustling as we had
left it. During tin* fifth we were
mostly silent. There hud come a
feeling of sadness, of isolation, which
would not lie broken in upon. Tlie
eflbrt of speech was painful. During
the sixth year my companion wus
taken away. They came and led
him out, whether to death or to liber
ty I knew not. I was glad when lie
wus gone. Tin* pale, vucant face,
dimly visible in the ceaseless gloom,
always in the self same place—always
an index of woe and suffering—had
lieeonie unlienrable. Had lie been
taken during the first or second year
I should have been crushed ; but now
the solitude wus grateful. I was
thankful when I found myself alone
with my great sorrow.
One day, more than a year after
my companion bud been taken away
I beard the sound of a human voice
again. The ibxir of my cell was open
ed, uiiil a voice said to me: ‘By order
of his Imperial Majesty I inform you,
Hir Count, that your wife died twelve
months since.’ Then the door was
shut. Tills great agony had been
cast in upon me’ and I was left alone
with It. The next speech I heard
was of my liberation. The best part
of my life was behind me. Heaven
grant that 1 may live long enough to
learn to be grateful for my liberty.”
Yes, there is a depth of miserytliat
wants 110 company, and many are the
men who have found anil suffered it.
GILBERT’S
PRINTING OFFICE
AND
A 8TMAXGK COMBAT.
FI it lit Hrtwrrn Two Nl. Lou I* Men
While In a TnrkUh Bath.
The Ht. Louis Republican of the
3d instant contains the particulars of
a fight between a bank cashier and a
doctor, In the Turkish bath house of
Dr. Adams, 311 North Seventh street
of that city. The two men, who
were enemies, met accidentally In the
bath, both being nude and recumbent
«pou tlie lounges. Harsh words be
came harsher between the two, and
finally one of the men said some-
tliing-not to be listened to quietly;
there was a quick blow and then a
desperate struggle. The hottest mini
of tlie Turkish bath is one whore the
tile of the floor is so heated that bare
feet must be burned which come in
contact with it, and where strips of
thick carpet protect the feet of the
bathers. Along the front of the row
of couches in the room a heavy strip
of this carjiet ran, und here it was
that the battle was carried on. The
doctor struck Ills opponent in tlie face,
cutting open a little vein in the
forehead and filling one eye of the
cashier with blood. At ’(lie same
time the cashier returned the blow,
and snatching a hold upon the doc
tor’s flowing beard tore out what
“Con,”oneof the attendants, culls
“a double handful, be gob !” At the
same time in the struggle of the men
the long, broad strip of carpet be
neath them was pushed aside by
their feet, and the next instant the
two men were ea|x*ring about upon
the heated floor. It was an astonish
ing spectacle. The men were naked
they were perspiring violently am.
they could not dutch each other to
retain a hold. They could strike,
however, and they mauled away,
leaping up anil down in agony as
they did so. No livelier moments
ever occurred ill all tlie history of tlie
prize ring. Imagine two men
dancing about barefooted on a blister
ing floor, and hitting at eacli other’s
fuces in a frenzy ! Each man forced
tlie fighting, for each felt that some
thing hail got to be done quickly.
The doctor capered about like a ballet
master from over the sea, und the
cashier Hecmed put on springs. It
was a wilder dance than ever canni
bals bad about a toasting victim, for
here the dancers were the tonsteil.
Meanwhile tlie attendants bud
rushed In, and one seized the cashier
while another held the doctor, and a
moment later, the two men were
dragged out und away from each
other. A boy was sent to u druggist,
and lie came back with liniment ami
other comforts for the burned. The
combatants were found to be very
badly scorched indeed. From the
soles of the doctor’s feet the parched
skin peeled off'llke tin* bottom of tin
old boot, und tlie cashier’s injuries,
though somewhat less in tlie way of
burns, were numerous and painful.
The liniments und poultices were up-
plied, the burned feet wrapped up’
and the two gentlemen who tried to
settle a difficulty under such disad
vantageous cleumstunces hobbled
uway.
A Curlou* Error.
Gen. McClellan, in an article on the
Eastern war, in the lust North Ameri
can Review, makes 11 singular mis
take—such a one as does not mar his
excellent and instructive article. He
speaks of a mighty stream of wurriors
which Issued from Arabia, anil “en
tered Europe in two great streams
which were nigh united between tlie
Danube and the Loire,” and would
have conquered all Christendom but
for the stern resistance made on
the plains of Tours and under the
walls of Vienna.” The confusion
arising from the terms "Haracen,”
“Moslem,” und to some extent,
“Moor,,’ indifferently upplied with
out distinction of races to Mohame-
duns, bus produced a great ileal of
confusion. The two streams of which
General McClellan Hpcuks had
lmd only religion in common,
and the Moors only, who
were defeated by Charles Muriel near
TourH, after they bad erossed the
Apenines from Spain, were originally
from Arabia, The tide turned at
Vienna by John Hobleski was the
Ottoman Turks, a different race alto
gether and from Turkestan and not
Arabia.
Tlie confusion of terms is quite
common, and yet it is not difficult, to
simplify the problem. The Moors
came from Arabia and conquered
northwest Africa — Mauritania —
whence they were called Moors.
Thence they overran Kpain, and re
ceived their first cheek at Tours, and
their final blow from Ferdinand and
Isabella in the fifteenth century.
The Baracens were Arabs, and tin*
Saracen empire dates from the time
of Mahomet as its origin. Their em
ployment of Turkish body-guards by
Hurucen Sultans in time of war wiis
the beginning of Turkish growth, and
finally the Seljuk Turkish dynasty
wus erected on the ruins of tlie Sara
cen rule. This gave way before tlie
Tartars, who conquered Asia Minor
in two different invasions. A new
infusion of Turks preceded till* estab
lishment of the present Turkish em
pire under Otlinmn, tin* founder of
Ottoman rule. It wus the advancing
and victorious Ottomans who were
twice defeated, once at Vienna, by
John Hobleski.
The distinction is an important one,
for we owe much ill the arts und sci
ences to the A rails, Moors ami Sara
cens, while the Turks have contrib
uted absolutely nothing to human
