TWENTIETH IMY’s rBOCEKDINUM. SENATE. Thubsday, Nov. 23. Senate met; President Trammell in the Chair. Prayer by Rev. Mr. Ketcbum. The roll called and journal approved. Mr. Wellborn atated that donbt bad been expressed as to whether the ]>re- oidiug officer bad a right to vote excopt in cuae of n tie; therefore, to arrive at the sense of tbo Senate on the question, ho moved to correct so much of the jour nal as relates to the passage of the Elec tion Bill on yesterday. Mr. Burns insisted on the President's right to vote, and read a preoedent there for from the journals of the Senate of 1369. The President ruled that the Choir hod a right to vote iu order to make the re quisite two-thirds on tho juusage of the bill, and sustained his riding by reading from Cushing, and also based the eame on the constitutional right of the District represented by tho Presidout, to vote, which no rule could restrain. Mr. Wellborn said that a precedent wonld ho established by this action, and in order to settle the matter definitely by decision of the Senate, he appealed from the decision of the Chair. Mr. Bums hoped tho decision woulJ be sustained. Campbell spoke against the ruling on the ground that it was not competent for the President to change the character of the result from negative to affirmative by a vote, and that us soon as the negative character of the result was determined by the wont of the requisite majority, the vote had ceased, and read from Cushing. Mr. Heese placed the right of the President to vote in suoh case on higher authority than Cusbiug, Mell, or Jefferson; for, under tho Consti tution, the lteprc8entative of the 43rd District, had a right to vote in any po sition which he might occupy, and cited a precedent from the impeachment trial of President Johnson, where the pre siding officer of the Senate claimed and exercised tho right to cast a vote which determined the question whether he •hould be President of the United States; also, a celebrated cam in the United States Congress, on the occasion of the adoption of a constitutional amendment, in 1903, where a constitutional majority being required, when the vote stood ayes 83, nays 42, tho Speaker of the House, Mr. Maoon, claimed the right to vote, and it was by that vote that the amend ment was adopted. [Cushing 122—note.] The decision of the Choir was sus tained by ayes—Messrs. Black, Brock, Brown, Bruton, Burns, Cameron, Can dler, Clarke, Cone, Estes, Erwin, Heard, Hicks, Hillycr, Hinton, Hoyle, Jervis, Jones, Jordan, Kirkland, Kihbee, Lester, Matthews, McWhorter, Nichols, Nun- nally, Peddy, ltoese, Bicliurdson, Sim mons, Steadman and Wellborn—82. Nays—Messrs. Anderson, Campbell, Coleman. Crayton and Wallace—5. The consideration of a bill to provide a remedy by which money or property stolen or detained from the State or the Western ami Atlantic Railroad may be recovered, and an amendment thereto, being unfinished business of yesterday, was then taken up. The amendment changes the mode of prosecution of per sons charged with having violated the proviaious of the bill, and dispenses with Pond and security required by the bill, except by order of court ou the return of n rule nisi, issued at the instance of the informer. Mr. Hinton forcibly advocated the amendment on the ground that the re quisition of the bond would be an im pediment in tho way of prosecution. Mr. Nunnally opposed the amendment. He defended the bill as reported, and said the Committee did not desire to shield wrong doers, but to shield the courts from petty suits instituted by all classes of portions from any sort of motive and to protoet the innocent from such unjust prosecution. Mr. Hoylo favored the amendment aud desired to encourage informers in every way, without unreasonable restriction. Mr. Brown spoke in opposition to the amendment. He thought there conld be no difficulty in finding solvent per sons to go security on the bond in any mcritorions prosecution. Mr. Hillyer insisted that the practioal effect of tho hill as it stands is to restrict suits, so as to prevent tho recovery of property stolen from tho State. Ho ro- vioivcd the history of the bill, and said his idea of its necessity lie had obtained from his experience os commissioner to audit accounts agninst the Western and Atlantic Railroad, aud lie found out there wlint general interest was iu the matter, and tho widoly disseminated knowledge concerning it. . Mr. Brown said thero was one instance here in tho city of Atlauta which the bill would reach, *here the property could Dot get away, and as far as that matter is concerned, ou behalf of those interested in the purchase of the Mitchell property, he invites investigation by a committee, or otherwise. ..... , . , Mr Hillyer averred that tho lull had been drawn with no refereuco to the Mitchell property, and that that had not been thought of until the bllljhud beou committed; that some of the purchasers were among his best friends; but that could have no influence upon his action, and thov should bo made amenable to law as all other persons. Mr. Candler asked if it was possible that no objection had been made to the bill until this discussion had developed the fact in its execution it might involve friends and citiecno, and he hoped H would be considered without any bias or prejudice for or agaiust any oue. Mr Nichols called llto previous ques tion. The cull was sustained, and the motion to strike out section 9th was lost ^Ayca Messrs. Burns, Cameron, Cand ler, Lone, Griffin, Heard, Hicks, Hillyer, Hinton, Hoyle, Jon«*, Jordan, Kirkland, Kihbee, Lester, Matthews, McWhorter, Nicholla aud Btaamona-21. Navs—Messrs. Anderson, Black,Brock, Brown, Bruton, Campbell, Clark, Cole- mao, Crayton, Deveaux, Eoto*, Er»*u, Jervis, Nunnally, Peddy. Reeae, Riehard- son, Smith, Steadman, w allaoe, Wellborn and Welch—19. ... • # Mr Leater nUted that the diaoumion or the bill hod taken a course at which lie was mortified, for it had boen aseumod by the Senator, that the bill hud been intn dneed so mi to enal le its movers to shield themselves in its execution behind some irresponsible insolvent; whereas, the bill bad boon introduced solely for tho purjiose s|>eci8ed in it, and not to meet any particular case. Mr. ilia ton offered an amendment to the bill, providing that when the infor- ,er is unable to give bond, as i Section 9lb, he ah.ll bo allowed to file his affidavit and proceed as though bond had bcon given; adopted by uvea 19, navs 18. Mr. Smith offered an amendment that the bill sbull relate to the future, and provide for the recovery of property which may hereafter be so determined or stated; adopted. Mr. Burns moved to strike out the words “oouusol fees;" adopted, by ayes— 23; nays—14. The bill was passed. Bills on first reading. By Mr. Bruton—To incorporate tho town of Cairo, Thomas county; also, to amend paragraph 3, auction 1969 of the code rclatin to steamboat lines. Ou motion, the Senate then adjourned until 10, a. u., to-morrow. HOUSE OF ItlpBESENTATIVES. House met; Speaker Smith in the Chair. Prayer by Rev. Mr. Cox. Jour nal approved. Clower of Monroe moved to reconsider so much of yesterday's proceedings as relate to the passago of the Election Bill over the Governor's veto. Mr. Lang made the point of order that the bill haa been orderod transmitted to tho Senate by a two-thirds vote, and was therefore out of the power of the House. Tho Speaker ruled the point well taken. A resolution providing that hereafter this House will meet at 3 o’clock r. M., lor tho purpose of reading Honso hills u second time, was adopted. Mr. Farmer of Liberty offered a reso lution instructing the Judiciary Commit tee to report whether or not any further legislation is necessary to provide fully for an eleotion for Governor in Deoember next. Mr. McMillan moved to amend bv in structing the Committee to inquire wheth er or not a law in reference to filling un- expired terms can be so framed os to cover the present case, as well as future cases which may arise. The amendment was accepted and the resolution was adopted. The Spalding connty contested election cose was then taken up. Mr. Hall, of Meriwether, preseted a certificate from a physician saying that Mr. Daniel A. Johnson,fcthe present in- cumbont of the seat, is dangerously sick in Griffin. Mr. Hall said that he offered this certificate simply to show why Mr. D. A. Johnson is not in his seat, this morning. A majority of the Judiciary Committee reported that the evidence submitted to the Committee on Privileges and Elec tions, to-wit: tho evidence of the Grand Jury whioh examined the ballots, was ad missible. Mr. MoMillan thought the evidence submitted was not admissible, and read from the Code in supjmrt of his position. He was in favor of declaring that there bod been no election. Mr. SimmoDa of Gwinnett said that the majority of tho Judiciary Committee held that the section of the Code regu lating the manner of taking testimony was in conflict with tho Constitution, which says that each branch of the Gen eral Assembly is the judge of the quali fications and election returns of its own members. He thought otherwise, snd was of opinion that the evidenoe sub mitted to tho Committee on Privileges and Elections was inadmissible, and that to hold the contrary wonld establish a dangerous precedent. Mr. Russell reviewed tho facts of the case, and contended that the Bection of the Code was never intended to limit the Legislature in its efforts to devoloji fraud and the casting of illegal votes in the election of its members. In this cose it was clearly proven that 87 illegal votes were cast, and all of them were for the present incumbent, except two. Throw ing ont those illegal votes, the contest ant had a clear majority. Whother a man be Domocrat or Republican he does not want to seo him upon this floor rep resenting a county if he was elected by illegal votes. Mr. McMillan was allowed to couolude his speech which was cut abort by expi ration of allotted timo. Ho continued his argument in relation to the law of the case, urging that the ov'dcnce, other than that taken in tho regular and usual wav, ought not to have been admitted, espe cially if the incumbent had not had the required notice. Mr. Pou wns opposod to the adoption of the report of the Committee, and was in favor of declaring that the present incum bent is entitlod to retain liii scat As to the notice, even if not givon the present incumbent waived it. when he appeared and put iu a plea. But tho law pre sumes that tho incumbent, who was sworn in, was legally elooted, and the onus of proving tho reverse, was upon tho contestant, and he ought to have to Bhoivn that the parties who voted these illegal ballots, voted them illegally or re sided out of the county, and these facta, in the opinion of Mr. Pou, woro not fully proven. Mr. McMillan offered as a substitute for tho report of tho committee a reso lution declsriug that there had been no election in Spalding county. Mr. Scott said that at Unit he was de posed to oppose the claims o! the con testant, but upon more reflection and an examination of the law, he became con vinced that his claims were well founded. Uuder tho statute, taken in connection with the Constitution, there can be no doubt but that tho evidence taken waa clearly odmissiblc. Mr. Netberland thought that even after _ member had received u certificate from the Governor, this House is not estopped from reojieuing the whole ease and fully investigating all facta connected with the election of such member, and this may lie done by a choice of the uieuus and man ner of making such investigation. Mr. Pierce said that the Committee ou Privileges aud Elections, comjtooed of members of both parties, made this re port unanimously, after mature investi gation. It certainly is true that one or the other of these parties was elected, and there was no evidenoe before the Committee to warrant the declaration by this Honse that there had been no election. If the evidenoe of fraud u sufficient the contestant ought to be aeated, aud if it is not, then the incum bent ought to be let alone. The jiroof waa sufficient to show that illegal votes wore east, and tho incumbent admits it by not offering rebutting proof. Mr. Pieroe reviewed the evidence, aud claimed that the fraud of stealing the ballot-box was chargeable to the incumbent's parly, and that after the notice of oontest was given. Mr. Henderson called the previous question. The call was sustained. Mr. McMillan's resolution dcclariug s vacancy was lost , The motion to adopt tho reyort of the committee, declaring David H. Jobnsor, j the contestant entitlod to the scat, was put. The yeas aud nays wero put with the following result: Yeas 98, nays 33. Mr. Hoge gave notice that he would move a reconsideration to morrow. Mr. McWhorter said that the House had decided that Mr. David H. Johnson was a member, and that action could not be gone behind. Mr. Johnson was then sworn in. Tho substitute reported by the Finance Committee for the bill to change tho per diem of officers and members of the Gen eral Assembly was taken nji. This sub stitute fixes the pay of President of the Senate and speaker of tho House at 810 per day, aud of members and Senators ut 87 per day, with 85 for every twenty miles as mileage. On this substitute tho House wont into Committee of the Whole—Mr. McMillan in the chair. Tho committee rose and reported that no conclusion hod beou come to. A motion to go again iuto committee; lost. Mr. Snead made tho point of order tlint uo members can vote on this question because of their interest in it This point was not ruled ou because it would disjxise of a hill which tho House was considering. Leave of absence was granted to Messrs. Sellers, Hooks, Collins and Harvey. A message from the Governor was re ceived, but not read. Pending discussion of the bill to reduce per diem, the House was declared ad- joured until 3, p. u. EVENING SESSION. House met ut 3 p. u. A number of House bills were rood the second timo. Leave of absence woe granted to Messrs. Tarver, Pou, Ilouutree, Johnson of Clay, Bruton of Decatur, uud Griffincf Twiggs; also, to Messrs. Patillo, Hooks, Richards snd Goodman—a sub Committee ou the Blind Asylum—to visit Milledgeville on official business. Honse then adjourned. TELEGRAPH NEWS By the Sew York Associated Press.

The Duke, Minister Catacazy, and Adohirul Posaiet, wero the first to enter; tho% fol lowed his Excellency W. F. Much in, Counsellor of State, Count Olzoufieff, Count Bhouveloff, General Gorloff, Dr. Cudriett, Lieutenant Tudeur and Mr. Sherkoff, of the Duke’s Suite. The Duke wore a uniform of blue cloth, short frock coat, with gold epaulettes, sword, and pale blue sash over his shoulder. Ho removed his chapeau immediately upon entering the door. Minister Catacazy wore his Court uni form, heavily trimmed with gold laces. The members of the Duke’s suit all wore full uniforms, elaborately trimmed and decorated according to their respective ranks. The President and members of tho Cabinet were in full dress suits. Mrs. Delano was dressed iu black vel vet, black lace shawl and pink ribbon headdress. Mrs. Akerman was drecsed in black silk with train and bonnet, with maroon trimmings. Mrs. Grant wus as sisted by Miss Nellie, Mrs. Bliarpe aud Miss Bessie Sharpe and the ladies before mentioned. Mrs. Grunt aud two young ladies, her daughter aud Miss Slmrpe, were dressed in derai-tmletto of black silk, with point lace collar and sleeves and bright-colored ribbons. Mrs. Sharpe wore a pale green silk, with train. As soon as the Duke and his suite reach ed the blue parlor, his Highness took a position between an ottoman in the cen ter of n room anil the door leading to the rod parlor, with his face towards tho door entering the bluo parlor from tho hall. Ministor Catacazy anil Admiral Possiet stood near him on the other side. The members of the suite took positions in tho roar of the Duke. Tho President, accompanied by his Cabinet and Secretary, then entered tho parlor by the door leading from tho hall, anil Minister) Catacazy presented the Grand Duke to the President. They ad dressed each other in English, each ex pressing his pleasure at meeting the oth er, but uo formul speech wus made by either. The Duke then preseutod Mr. Bois, of his suite, and the President in turn pre sented the members of his Cabinet. The usual hand shaking attended the intro ductions. The President then escorted the Duke to the red parlor where the la dies were assembled, presenting him first to Mrs. Grant, then to tho other ladies. Secretary Fish then followed, present ing each member of tho suit© to his Highness to tho ladies. Conversation was then entered upon, anil introduc tions took place between tho members of the cabinet anil the suite of Prince and the President’s Secretaries. Tho Duke, admiral Possiet, Gen. Gorloff and oue or two others of visi tors, spoke English fluently, aud con versed in that tongue. Conversation with some of th o visitors who did not speak English wus carried on iu French. After a pleasant conversation of about fifteen minutes, the Duko bade the President adieu, and then the ladies and members of tho cabinet. Members of his suit followed, and the distinguised visitor withdrow. Upon. entering their carriages, they returned immediately to Minister Catocazy’s house. Tho Duko leaves hero to-morrow morning, in a special train for Annai>o- lis, to visit tho naval school thero, and goes from thero to New York, by rail, to-morrow evening. The Grand Duko is rather prepossess ing in his personal appearance, tall and erect, of robust build anil quick step. He is of light complexion, and wears quite a nobby littlo moustache and. side whiskers. Iiis hair is cut short, after the fashion of the Russians. Tho Hon. Reverily Johnson and ex- Attorney-Goueral Stanberry, departed for Columbia, South Carolina, as coun sel for tho defendants iu the Ku-klux case. * Early this evening Miuister Catacazy, accompanied by Admiral Possiet, called ut tho Arlington House to see Secretory Fish; but this gentleman having shortly after tho presentation at the Executive Mansion returned to Department of State, left their cards. Catacazy and the Admiral next called on Admiral Porter, and on several members of diplomatic corps; subsequently all the Grand Duke's Suite dined together with him at tho res idence of Catacazy. At 9 o’clock to-morrow morning tho Grand Duko will leave Washington ou u special train for Anuapoiis. Tho party will be accompanied by Secretary Robe son, several naval officers, and General Horace Porter. Tho party will remain ut Anuapoiis about three hours, where the Duke will visit the Naval Academy, und on returning to Washington ho will, with his suite, leave ou tho special traiu for New York. The Duke, wheu asked to day concerning a future visit to Wash ington, stated that nothing hail been definitely arranged on that subject; but thut ho should be glad to come here dur ing the session of Congress. The Russinu Miuister and Russian Commodore left cards for Fish to-day. The general impression is, that Fish has blundered iu allowing personal pique to override Vattel’s precepts of international courtesy. Journal of Antiquity CALENDAR AND DIARY. FOREIGN NEWS. ENGLAND.
