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 report submitted was from tlie com nilttee on accounts, relative to com mittee clerks.

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. FIRES.

FIRST OR SECOND. A Tulk sllh Mr. Hendrick*—He Dora 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 This important < . minis, niul nil th about three gallons every half h impurit.ru *traln. i the ii.itur.il purg.i W it the Liver become* t<> from the blood, but car to all part* of the sy*u . ^ i ipe through the pore* of the »kin, • ^ turn yellow or a dirty brown color.

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.” ♦ ♦ ♦ — For Bent.
