Washington, November28.-—Ini
mediately after the reading of the
journal, Mr. Wadlcigl), elmirinan of
the Committee on Privileges and
Elections, moved to proceed to the
eonsideration of the resolution re-
jMtrted by that eomniittee for the ad
mission of Kellogg as Senator from
Louisiana.
Thurman objected and read the
eighth rule which prohibits that no
bill nor renort of the committee noi
other subjects uixm the calen
dare nha.ll be proceeded with in the
morning hour, unless by unanimous
consent.
A lengthy discussion in regard to
the rules ensued, participated in by
Messrs. Edmunds. Thurman, Waif-
leigh, Wallace and others.
Finally the Vice President decided
the subject was a question of the
highest privilege and could beconsid-
sidemi in the morning hour, notwith
standing the objections.
Thurman api>enled from the deci
sion of the Vice President, and the
yeas and nays being called, the deci
sion was sustained by yeas 29, nays
20, Patterson voting with the Demo
crats in the negative, and Conover
with the liepu hi lea ns in the affirma-
tive. Davis, of Illinois, did not vote
when his name was called.
The question being, will the Senate
proceed with the consideration of the
resolution reported by the Committee
on Privileges and Elections, declaring
Kellogg entitled to his seat as Sena
tor from Louisiana, the vote resulted
Yeas 2U, Tiays 29. The Vice Presi
dent voted in the affirmative, and tin*
resolution was taken up. Conover
voted with tin* Republicans in the
affirmative; Patterson and Davis with
the Democrats in the negative.
Thurman then moved to amend
the resolution by striking out after
resolved and insert M. C. Butler.
Edmunds said lie did not want
time wasted and suggested the vote
be taken on the admission of Kellogg
Friday next at one o’clock, and on
the admission of Butler Saturday
next at one o’clock. [Laughter on
Democratic side. 1
After it Was decided to take up the
Kellogg case a lengthy debate sprang
up between the members of the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections as
to the status of the ease of Mr. F.ustis.
The Republican members claimed
Euwtls’cuse would have l»een rejiorted
this morning hut for last night's con
tinuous session.
The vote on Thurman’s amend
ment to the report of the Committee
on Privileges and Elections tosulisti-
tute Butler for Kellogg wus .51 to 81,
Davis and Patterson voting with the
Democrat*. Conover with the Rcpuli-
licaiis. The Vice President voted
nay, and the amendment was lost,
Thurman rose to a |s»int of order
and challenged the right of the Vice
President on this matter, as the ques
tion was one ulRrting tin* organiza
tion of the Senate, and it was not a
question where tile proviso of the
Constitution giving Inc Vice Presi
dent the casting vote applied.
After some debate Mr. Thurman
withdrew hi* challenge of the Visa
President’s vote.
Hnulslmry submitted a resolution to
recommit the Louisiana contest to the
committee with instructions to take
testimony on various point*.
Hill addressed the Senate on this
amendmeut.
Arguing the Vice President’s right
to vote, Mr. Beck, of Kentucky, wild
it was not necessary that tin* Vice
President should have voted to-day
at all. He thought ho was rather
hasty in giving the vote, and that liv
ing so, all this discussion was out of
order. The amendment did not re
ceive a majority of votes, and there
fore was lost.
Mr. Eaton, of Connecticut, said the
action of the Senate some twenty-five
or thirty years ago was taken with
out thought and without time for ex
amination. He iiad no doubt in his
own mind that the President of the
Senate had no power to act in the or
ganization of the Senate. He is not
one of the representatives of thcStntes
in the Senate, and w hen the proper
time came he (Mr. Eaton) would Is 1
glad to argue this matter. He would
go far and say, if any man should get
a seat in the Senate by the action of
the Vice President, if lie (Mr. Eaton)
lived in 1879, he would ask the chair
filled by such person Is* declared va
cant. Such action on the part of the
Vice President would Is* a violation
of the Constitution of tin* United
States.
After Thurman had withdrawn his
challenge to the Vice President’s vote.
Vice President Wheeler said lie had
carefully considered the question us
to his right to vote in cum** where the
vote of the Senate was equally divided
and he had no doubt of his rigid.
After what had fallen from the Sen
ator from Connecticut (Mr. Eaton) he
would take occasion to say that as at
present advised, he would exercise
that right in his discretion.
Mr. Saulshury submitted a substi
tute for the resolution of the ('onniiit
tee, reciting at length, various charge)
pxadv by Judge Spofiord again*! the
returning officers In Louisiana, the
legality of the Legislature which
elected Mr. Kellogg, and that Mr.
Kellogg himself, when Governor,
joined in illegal acts with such re
turning officers, and therefore pro
viding for the recommittal of the
whole question to the Committee on
Privileges and Ejections, with in
structions to said Committee, to take
testimony in regard to such charges.
Mr. Saulshury s|x>ke at length in
favor of his substitute, and Mr. Wad-
leigh against.
Mr. Hill, of Georgia, in supjxirt of
the substitute is considered the finest
of tin* session.
Alluding to Spoffbrd’s brief, Mr.
Hill appealed to evjiry Senator on this
tl(x»r to sink the partisan for a mo
ment, and not deny the right to this
contestant to take testimony which
no court on earth would refuse him.
Mr. Kellogg came here now to claim
the price of Ids fraud. He came here
to ask that this Senate w’ould give
effect to that fraud. A committee
had been appointed to examine all
such cases, and this committee said
we have taken so much testimony
alxrnt Returning Boards that.we will
take no more
Mr. Wudlcigh said the Field Com
mittee last winter took testimony
this very point.
Mr. Hill said the Field Committee
took testimony in regard to the elec
(oral vote. That was closed and st
far as he was concerned it should to
closed forever.
Mr. McDonald inquired of the Sena
tor from New Hampshire (Mr. Wad-
leigh) If he did not know that the
members of the Louisiana Returning
Hoard refused to testify before the
House Committee, and were not sum
moned todhre the Senate Committee
lust winter.
Mr. McMillan said they were ex
amined l»y the Field Committee
Mr. Hill returned and again called
upon every Senator to put his hand
upon any testimony already taken a>
to Kellogg’s complicity with the Re
turning Board as Judge Hpoffbrd of
fered to prove.
Mr. McMillan—It would he Aery
difficult to prove a fuel which never
existed.
Mr. Hill—Did anybody before ever
hear a Judge tell a party asking lea
to present testimony, “why you can’t
prove that even if 1 give you ]>crmis-
sion.”
Addressing Mr.McMillan, he said
—How do you knbw it never <x
eurred. were you down there
[Laughter.]
Mr. McMillan—I was there for a
long time
Mr. Hill—Well I did not know that
before. We will investigate you.
[Renewed laughter.]
Continuing his remarks, lie said:
Senators should not sit as judge's t<
decide the right* between parties and
say they would not let them take
proof. Mr. Kellogg did not pretend
to have a Legislature, except by the
action of that Returning Board. He
admitted that three of the members
of tiie State Senate returned us elected
by that ixmrd were not elected by the
iieople. If this should lx* proved was
lie tit for a seat in tiffs liotiy? Could
Senators say that the Governor of«
State might collude with a Returning
Hoard to elect himself to the Senate,
would they scut such a man in this
Ixxly? So certain was tiie Committee
at first tlmt it would have to take
testimony, that the chairman applied
to the Senate and got authority to do
so, and when the committee got tiie
parties to join issue, it refused to take
testimony.
Finally an adjournment was ob
tained by Patterson, Conover and
Davis voting with the Democrats,
without action. Senate meets to-mor-
nv.
MOKE OF HILL’S SPEECH.
Nfieeialtn Enquirer-Sun.)
Washington, Nov.^28.—If Gover
nor Kellogg should lie convicted of
these charges it would not only close
the Senate to him, but would open
the penitentiary to him. The eases
were* referred to the Committee for
the purpose of inquiry into all the
facts. He did not want to re-open the
question of the electoral count. He
(lid not wantune particle of testimony
on that subject, but he did want
Judge Spollbrel to have an op|x>rtunity
pi prove that Kellogg aided in count
ing in three Senators and ten mem
bers of the House of Delegates, W’llo
cere not elected, for the express pur
kmc of milking him Senator. The
.egislature which elected him
lever did a single act for
which they claimed vitality, ex-
pt the election of Kellogg. It
had disbanded and gone, Hut, oh!
suid his friends on the other side of
’lumber, it was a Legislature
when it elected Kellogg. This whole
fraud was concerted by Governor
Kellogg for liic pur|NMcof transplant
ing him to the Senate that lie might
misrepresent Louisiana for six years.
Would the Semite take a man in with
llie charge ringing in their ears that
he was the author of the fraud w hich
sent him here? Would the Senate
take the statement of the Senator
from Minnesota that tills fraud was
liot true, tovause it could not to* true.
It was the lirst time that he (Mr. Hill)
ever heard that a man like Kellogg
could not commit a fraud. (1 daugh
ter. ] Should tin* Senate do this
wrong, it would to* one for
which there* was no compensation
ami for which there* was no excuse.
He wished, if he could, to break
through this crystal i/.ed crust of putty
Idas and get to the sound, holiest
truth. Kellogg |xfiil the price of
Louisiana awl come* here now to ask
the Senate to give him Ills reward.
All this haste in the Kellogg ease
was never made in the committee
until after a certain motion had torn
made in the Senate. When a dires t
charge of personal fraud hi made by
one of the contestant* in the presemr
of tiie other, it was the duty of the
Senate to allow him to take testimony
to see if lie could prove It.
Mr. Wadldgh said he had listened
to tin* furious speech of liis triend
from Georgia, with a gixxl deal of hi-
terest, I>ecuusc it showed how great a
noise could to* made alxiutasniall mat

Georgia was not Justified in stating

SHALL IT BE DISSOLUTION OR RES
IGNATION?
London, November 28.—The Purls
corrcH|K>iidciit of the Timm discusses
the assertion of the Mon it cur tlmt
President MacMuhon may submit to
theuiternutiveof dissolution or his res
ignation, if the Chamber refuses to vote
the budget, and says (others believe,
and they are probably right, that if
the Senate refuses to second the dis
solution, President MacMuhon will
hold himself absolved from Ids post
promises, and take a Cabinet accepta
ble to the Chamber. Reports are* also
current that the Left intend sending
a deputation to urge the Marshal to
return to a normal system of govern
ment by the majority.
The same correspondent says It is
understood the Budget Committee,
ignoring Minister DcWelches’ motion
for the separate consideration of four
categories of direct taxes, will them
selves submit u recommend to the
saint* effect.
SITUATION UNCHANGED.
London, Nov. 28.—The French
situation is unchanged because the
next move is expected to conic
from the Senate, which stands ad
journed until Thursday. The gene
ral opinion seems to he* tlmt this ad
journment is fertile purpose of giving
time to the Government to win the
support of tilt* Orleanists for the ex
treme measures. Nevertheless dis
patches this morning indi(*utc a
calmer f«*e!}»ig than on the previous
day. The noil-issue of any circular
by the new foreign minister to the
rrem 1. representatives abroad, and
tire* count' iiunndof receptions of their
sutomli nates by several members of
the Cabinet are cited os indications
tlmt the Cabinet does not expect to
discuss the report of the Budget Com
mittee oti tin* siK*eiul accounts opened
by tiie Dc Broglie ministry during the
recent dissolution, which’was read in
tiie Chamlicr of Deputies yesterday,
hut not discussed because the minis
ters were absent from tile sitting,
amounting to 18,000,(NX) fruiics and
declares the aorounh illegal and tlmt
they cannot be sanctioned l»y the
Cl»amto*r without compromising the
rigid of the nation by the rejecting of
tiie bill submitted by the late Cabinet.
The Chandler would not definitely
refuse to sanction tiieex}H*nditore,but
would simply reserve its ulterior de
cision.
The Times 1 correspondent says this
rejxirt strikes by anticipation at one
of the experiments which probably
had bum relied on for expended
money without previous authority of
tiie Clmmber. Partisans of resistance
thus find themselves more and more
hemmed ill by tiie net work of legal
ity from which there* is no escaix*,
except by criminal enterprises, which
have no’advocates even among the
most ardent advisers of the Ely see.

i>am*ing has always been an amuse

for ten or fifteen ininut**s and natur

waltz seven hours without re*st, and
he commenced the task at half-peat
six o'clock last evening. The profes

and as they promulgated this infor

quite a crowd of people in the bull-
rooni|Wlien the music struck up tiie
opening waltz. The professor was
attired as usual, in evening dress, and
ap|H*nred perfectly confident that lie
would accomplish tlie feat. As (lie
hands of the dock approached the
half hour he walked out on the floor
acconi]>aiiie<l by a very eluirming
young lady, and the orchestra com

When the minute hand reached the
half hour tin* referee called time, and
the professor and his lovely )>artiier
glided off'. In order not to crowd the
res mi and annoy when dancing, tin*
floor manager would not allow more
than ten couples on tiie thx>r at once.
Every one ap|H*an*d, however, to
have a mania for dancing against
time, and they were the
longest - winded lot of couples
tliut ever danced on a hull-

if the professor can dance seven hours
we can certainly dance one hour; but
when they eanu* to atomt thirty min

the exception of one fat woman, the
first lot re tired. Prof. Cartterdanced
with his lady twenty-seven minutes,
and then t(x»k a gentleman, who
waltzed with him for thirty-five min

floundered around, with the perspi
ration pouringoffher in streams; hut
finally she had to weaken and sat
down after dancing thirty-two min
utes, with her l**st Mack silk waist
completely ruined. The professor
was going along in his graceful step
a great deal easier than most pedes

meantime the settees around the hall

While tiie professor was dancing he
indulged in various rcfcshineiits, hut
always kept on his gait while he
ixHircd them down. His trainer was
•videiitiy not a man of ex|H*rience, as
luring the first live hours lie allowed
the professor to swallow two glasses
of cold ten, four lagers, two glasses of
hainiMigm* and chew ice ad libitum.
The ato>ve fluids are probably not tiie

then glided for twenty-nine minutes,
and was followed by a gentleman
who understood his business, and kept
on bis reins for forty-one minutes. A
young lady was then siitotituhxl and
flurried the professor over his liftli

tin* professor took a gentleman for a

Tiie announcement of the marriage

She was the widow of the brave Col.

lion, und her father, William Sulli-

and most highly esteemed citizens of
Indiaiia|x>lis. She is |x)ss(*sHe<l of a

ability.
lu the cultivation of the latter gift
she made two trips to Europe. While

and attractive professor of music,
William Emil Wulschiier, high in
favor with tiie King of Bavaria. He
was leader of the King’s hand, in fact,
besides enjoying other professional
distinction, lie was attracted hy her
professional charms and accomplish
ments, and a ^mutual attachment
sprung up. Before accepting ills
offer of marriage, she wrote toiler
"m.'-forthe parents ex pin i nit** her todies and
S.,*’ w hich he snhi lie wishes. They were* indignant, and
||HH^MiM|MMn*plie(l that ii' she manied in that

& Co., can carry any goods out of the
store without a written |>eniiit, and
Kyle got over that difficulty by pre
tending to send the skins to a work
man's home to to* made into gar

Hirseli before the detection and ar
rest.

Ktnrl*' N«‘«*«»nd Hr«*arli of Faith,
Washington, Noveiuto*r 21.—The
recent scandal in connection with the
English mission does not seem to
!inve proved a useful lesson to Mr.
Kvarts. He lias rc|sided tin* Iiad
faith which wax shown to the Penn
sylvania delegation, almost under
identical circumstances, to the Re
publican delegation from Illinois.
The facts arc simple and easily under
stood. Several iiienito*rs from the
latter State called ii|hiii Mr. Kvarts to
rex'omiiiciid Mr. White for a secondary
diplomatic |xist. lie informed them
it was the intention of the Adminis
tration to offer the State of Illinois
the mission to Berlin, and requested
they should name a pro|x*r person to
fill it.
A majority of lJie delegation reriMii-
iiicudcd Col. Bob Ingerxoli, and, sup-
|x>sing from what Mr. Kvarts bad
said to them that tiffs recommenda
tion was equal loan ap|K>iiitiiicid,one
of tiie number telegraphed him to
tlmt effect, and lie soon after came to
Washington, expecting to receive tiie
commission. Meantime tin* secret
leaked out, a** it did in the ease of
Simon Cameron, and a loud pretest
was made against the selection of a
pronounced infidel ns an offence to
the religious sentiment of the coun
try. Tiffs explosion alarmed Kvarts,
and he broke his promise a second
time.
During a stay of ten days in tiffs
city riot a word about the np|x)int-
niciit was said to Ingersoll by any
uiieial person, authorized tos|N*akou
lie subject, llesooii found that lie
had mine on a fool's errand, and that
Kvarts had deceived Iffs friends, first
hy inviting them to name a Minister,
and then hy refusing to keep Iffs vol
untary engagement. It is now an
nounced fluff fngerxoll bus “ declined
the mission to Berlin,” as it was an
nounced not long ago tliut Mr. liokcr
had “resigned the mission at St. Pe
tersburg.” when no such thought hod
ever entered his head, and Hayes Iiad
|x*rsonally told him there was no in-
tentiou to make a change.
Them* t wo performances have creat
ed much bitterness of feeling, against
Evnrts, who is tin* candidate of the
clerks of the 1 lepartmeiil of State for
President ill I MHO. He to directly l*e-
s|M)(isihle for all the disgraceful aie
|X)illtlliellts that have been made III
tiie diplomatic service. When Hayes
rewarded him for Ids professional
services in tin* Klceteral Conspiracy,
at tile public CX|X>||MC, ||«* told Iffui
that, With the exception of the mis
sions to France and tin* Sandwich
Islands, which were* promistd to
Noyes and Condy, lie might exercise
Iffs own discretion in regard to the
foreign pluccx. And lie has ikoI the
privilege freely, for tile beliellt of
Sanford, (>six;ni, and a si*t of snobs,
some of whom have already brought
disgrace oil tiie American name
abroad, and others of whom will to*
sure to contribute their share* to the
general discredit.- A’. >'. Sun.

Ill leaving Bavaria, Prof. Wulseli-
•r’s mode of livcliluxxl was cut off',
and he came to this country ignorant
of the language and new t<> the rou-
tina of business. He found employ
ment in the ear|x*t store of Albert
(•nil, and made many friends hy his
intelligence and industry. He was
s(xiii associated with musical socie
ties, and became the leader of tiie
Lyra, one of the finest in tiie State.
A few mouths ago lie was employed
hy Henry Benimm in Iffs music store,
and again commended himself to fa
vor.
Two years meanwhile iiad relied by
since, on the Kith of September, 1875,
Ik* was united in marriage to Miss
Flora Stewart, at Munich, Bavaria,
the Rev. L. Rush nicker, Protestant,
officiating. She began a very suc
cessful career of music teaching,
which, with his salary as salesman,
rendered them indc|x*ndent. Last
Sunday she accordingly announced
to her parents that if tliev meant to
disown her tin* time hu<( come; she
was married. Consternation follow
ed. They were shocked, grieved and
indignant, hut learning uixm inquiry
that there was nothing objectionable
iffxMit him, concluded to make the
to*st out of it. Yesterday they sent
for him to come home, and it is only
to lie presumed that the fatted calf
was killed.
An unpleaant complication lias
arisen in tin- fact that she has con
tinued to draw her widow’s |x*iisioii.
As the dereliction was from want of
thought rather than desire* to cheat
tiie government, there will to* no
trouble about it.
The young bridegroom is extremely
handsome and prepossessing in a|e
peamnee.

eojs*, l»nt a gissl one, llriiily fixed ill
true toiuinto on a tree, at a distance of

for observation. One of the -I km iters,
while looking through tin 1 glass to

exclaimed that he saw the hall unit

T. D*Witt Talmac, in ;i recent
lecture U|H>n “Current Events,” dis
cussing certain alleged differences
between Jew and Gentile, gave some
hard hut wcll-deseiwed hits at a few
of tin* weak pointo of the Gentile. He
said :
“Last summer tin* land was ablaze
with discussions atomt tin* Jews to-
ing excluded from one of the leading
hotels. I have this to say : A Gentile
better than a Jew—no better in
morals, no better in providence and
forethought. There are more* Gentiles
in King Sing and in tin* Tombs and
on Rlaek well's Island than there are
Jews. The Gentiles are lio I letter ill
the profession of law—Moses, the
greatest lawyer whoever lived, was a
Jew. Tliev are* no better in hanking
Rothschild, the greatest banker, is
a Jew. They are* no better in military
life--Joshua was a Jew. They are no
better statesmen D’lsraeli is a Jew.
They are* no to'tter theologians—the
Lord Jesus Christ was a Jew.
The Jews are not physically
inferior to the Gentiles. ’ Why
is six feet high any to'tter than five feet
high? Hid you ever hear of Welling
ton or Xu|K)1eoii? They were small.
I know a great many tail Axils.
A cram* is taller than a
dove. Their feature's are not
so attractive. Wlm di*crccd tlmt a
none curved tip is any to'tter than u
nose curve* i down? I’nctcanlyf
Wliut a charge t<» Ik* made hy the
smoking Gentile nation. Think of
the floating pig-sty attached to ull
railroad trains, and the gentlemen's
cabins in our ferry tonits. Most of
the smoke to longs to the new dis|>e))-
satioli. The weuk point of the Gen
tile is not washing bxi much. Look
at tiie el tv court- room after a trial, or
a public nail after a Democratic con
vention ora Republican meeting. Is
that atmosphere all Jewish? Analyze
it and you will liud it to consist of
live |mrto of whiskey, three |xirts of
garlic, one of cologne, and
ixygeii. I have baptized ]*•<►■
