Washington, April 15.—Tlie Sec
retary of tlie Senate before reading
tlie journal read a note from Vice
President Wheeler, stating lie had re
ceived a telegram advising him of the
dangerous limes of a sister, anil sum
moning him home, nnd that it would
be necessary for tlie Senate to elect a
President pro tcm.
The Secretary asked, what is tlie
pleasure of the Senate? Davis (West
Va.) said Hint as there was compara
tively a small number of Senators in
attendance, lie hoped there would be
delay of tlie proceedings hr order to
enable absentees to arrive.
At suggestion of Wallace, the Sen
ate took informal recess. It was
discovered at the time the note was
read Hint there were a larger number
of Republicans than Democratic
members present. A messenger
was dispatched for Thurman,
whom the Democrats intended
to elect President pro tempore.
At 12:20, however, that gentleman
entered tlie chamber, he having been
on his way to tlie capital while the
messenger was in search of him:
The Senate having resumed its ses
sion, Bayard offered tlie following
resolution:
Resolved, That in tlie nbsence of
tlie Vice President, Hon. A. G.
Thuriflan be nnd lie is hereby chosen
President of tlie Senate pro tempore.
Antlionv moved to strike out tlie
name of Thurman nnd insert that of
Hon. Thomas W. Ferry. Tills
amendment was disagreed to, yeas 18,
nays 28, and tlie resolution was then
passed, and Thurman was conducted
to his chair by Ferry, the former re
marking to tlie latter on his way
thither, “Turn about is fair play."
Thurman, on taking the chair, said
Senators: It is only necessary for
me to say in tlie fewest possible
words 1 sincerely thank you for this
mark of your confidence.
Tlie journal of yesterday was then
read.
Tlie army bill was called up. Lo
gan addressed tlie Senate denouncing
tlie proposed legislation as bad in
itself, and as being attempted by un
parliamentary practices. He defend'
ed tlie use of tlie veto power, quoting
President Pierce’s message in 1853
to show that the Democratic doctrine
liud then guarded the indpendence of
the Executive as a wholesome check
on legislation. Declared a system of
'terrorism prevailed in the South
which is now resulting in the migra
tion therefrom of people whose labor
is necessary to cultivate the fields,
lie alleged that tlie Demoerats ex
peeled by this legislation to fraudu
lently control the election of the next
President.
Mr. Beck followed. He said the
South to-day was represented by men
who were tlie peersof any gentleman
on tlie other side. Tlie Democrats
were warned ot tlie appeal to Ciesar,
They intend to appeal to tlie people
before tlie Ciesar eomes, before the
Rubicon is crossed, and the cry is
"A la jadata cut." It is to prevent
Ciesar from coming that they desire
soldiers to be taken from the polls.
Mr. Beck continued at considerable
length, defending tlie Democratic
party from accusations or its oppo
nents, and declared they were true
friends to the colored race. He
argued earnestly against the danger
of relying on tlie army to enforce the
laws, saying that the best warrant
for muk'ing and maintaining just
laws whs enlightened public opinion
HOLME.
Immediately after the rending of
tlie Journal, the Speaker proceeded to
call committees for report. Tlie only

nilttee on accounts, relative to com
mittee clerks. This report

the consideration of the Senate bill
for the purchase or construction of

Albany, N. Y., April 15.—The
bill requires tlie tare to be deducted
from tlie weight of cotton bales. Tlie
introducer, Mr. Sheard, made a
strong argument for the measure.
Tlio opposition took tlie ground Hint
if the bill should pass it would drive
tlie cotton business from New York,
nnd besides Hint, it could not accom
plish the object in view, since the
whole question of tare would remain
matter to be settled between sellers
and buyers. Without coming to a
ote tlie committee of the whole
arose. On motion of Mr Sheard, tlie
committee was then discharged from
further consideration of tlie bill, and
it was ordered to a third reading,
llfty-tlireo members voting in tlie
affirmative.

Not Feel Fulled l'|»»n to Hun for the
Moron<1 Place In 1NMO—Ilia Relation*
Toward* Mr. Tilden— Democratic Pol
icy nnd Proaprrla.
New York, April 11.—Tlio World
prints a three-column interview with
its Fort Wayne (Indiana) corresno 1-
dent lindjdayjberore yesterday which
Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks. At tlio
outset of tlie interview Mr. Hendricks
recalls tlie days of his novitiate in
politics—his election to Con press
during the free soil excitement of 1851,
liis previous services in tlie Legisla
ture in Indiana, and liis appoint
ment as commissioner of the general
land office in tlie summer of 1865.
Coming down to later years he says :
"Very great progress in restoring
tlie proper equilibrium that the con
stitution aims to create has been
made since the Democrats obtnined
control of tlie House of Representa
tives in 1874. There was, of course,
during the eight years of General
Grant’s administration, a eondition
of perfect partisan harmony between
tho Legislative and Executive
branches of the Government, and,
consequently, there was no advance
made during that time either in ad
ministrative reform or in restrain
ing the tendency to centralization.
The economy which tho Democratic
House of Representatives lias forced
upon tlie administration of tlie pub
lic service cannot he truly questioned,
and should be positively approved by
the people. The reduction otexpen-
diture lias been in very despite of tlie
serried opposition of Republican
Congressmen.
“I think that since the Democrats
have had control of the House the
tendency lias been to restore tlio un-
trammeied-machinery of tlie consti
tution as tlie motive power in Fede
ral authority. Tlie struggle that the
House is making to secure free mid
fair elections by tlie repeal of the
laws which had been used to control
them in a partisan interest, and to
repeal also tlio law which lias been
used to tlie control of the jury power
of tlie Federal courts in many locali
ties, I heartily approve, anil‘1 hope
that Congress will

Htuml by it* pur
pose until these noxious laws arc
repealed. The cry from (lie Repub
licans that it is revolutionary on tlie
part of tlie Demoerats is so entirely
false that it will hardly deceive any
one who is acquainted with the Re
publican methods in tlie past. I
think that tlie scheme and proceed
ings by which Mr. Hayes was made
President of tlie United States and
Mr. Wheeler Vice President without
any actual election in their favor,
were wrong—not to candidates or a
party exactly, but to tlie States and
to tlie whole people. A fair count of
tlie actual electoral votes would have
resulted otherwise than it was deci
ded, and it would have been tlie ex
pression of (lie States through (lie
doctors nt large, nnd of voters through
tlie electors of districts, and of the
large popular majorities of tlio people
as a whole body.”
Mr. Hendricks holds that there is
no sufficient reason for division
among truo Demoerats, and tlmt the
differences upon financial questions
are less threatening than they ap
peared at one time. He says:
“It is now plain that the leaders of
the Republican parly intend to strain
tlie country to its utmost tension in
order to revive sectional hostility and
create hatred between the North and
tlie South, and so to hold their polit
ical power in the North. When that
purpose is thoroughly understood,
and especially in tho younger gener
ations of voters, and tlie dangers
which it threatens are appreciated by
the whole people, a patriotic union
sentiment will develop itself that
must prove sufficient to overthrow
the authors of what I must denomi
nate a wicked scheme. Tlio exist
ence of tho war was made tho pre
text on every possible occasion to
promote centralization ; and tlie Re
publican party during tlie last few
years lias sought tlie same end and
still seeks it under the pretext of eon-
trolling what they denominate dis
turbing elements. They are pleased
to say that for Hiieli a purpose wlint
they cuphonistieally call u ‘strong
government’ is a necessity ; hut what
are known to history under the
phrase of strong governments have
never been favorable to popular liber
ty or rights.”
Mr. Hendricks would say but little
concerning tlie Potter committee ami
still less about Tilden. When told
that it had been said that he intended
to come out boldly for "Uncle Sam
my," he replied:
’“That is not so. My attention lias
been culled to that before, and I have
written a letter to a friend at Wash
ington to say that this statement is
unqualifiedly false. I lmve not bilked
with anyone about Mr. Tilden, but
have uniformly refused to do so. I
cun say, also, that I have said in tlie
letter—which may or may not have
been published—that I did not feel
under any obligations to again accept
a second place upon tlie ticket. I was
beaten in that convention, ami 1 ac
cepted my defeat, and became a can
didate for an office I did not desire.
I don’t think that I am called upon
to do this again.”
In bringing the interview to a
close, lie said ;
“The success of tlie Democratic par
ty iu 1880 will mean a restoration of
the legitimate authority and the prac
tices of the government which were
so well illustrated in Jackson’s ad
ministration; and I believe not only
tlmt n greater public confidence in
the stability of our institutions will
lie tho result, hut also tlmt the public
quiet will lie restored and made
permanent, and business and indi
vidual prosperity will naturally and
as a consequence follow. We can
not have confidence and that public
harmony which is favorable to busi
ness and imlvidual prosperity so long
as tlio Republican party is able to
keep itself in power by revolutionary
appeals to sectional animosities. Pub
lic prosperity, in part, at least, de
pends upon friendly us well as upon
commercial relations between all the
sections.”
