Atlanta, Nov. 27.— [Special. ]— To¬ day Senator Colquitt add reared the house of representatives. From the opening words to the close the deepest attention was given to the speaker, and his ringing sentiments awoke the repeated applause of the house. Senator Colquitt said: My object in coming before you to day is not to deliver an address. My only purpose is to express in a few words niv honest and sincere thanks, i should be devoid of all sensibility and just feeling if I did not make known lo you how deeply 1 am affected by tin* testimonial is you have given me of your esteem and confidence. You have renewed the trust wlii' li you put into my hands a few years ago. It im; o es upon uie new obligations. It increases ray devotion to a people before whom I have walked and whom 1 have loved from my childhood. It strengthens my purpose, amidst through evil all days vicissitudes and evil tongues, and whether of political fortune, of victory or defeat, to maintain their rights and defend their honor. Many of you know that public life is not free from struggles and irritations, and that sometimes you will meet with it rancor and bitterness where you least ex¬ pected. I am pot a stranger to such ex¬ perience. On the other hand, there are rich rewards and consolations which cheer and gratify the iieart. and this re¬ ward and this consolation you have given me in the almost undivided votes, ex¬ pressive of your confidence and ap¬ proval. "That there should be suggestion of ojtposition is not surprising. 1 have been no neutral in polities. i have not been evasive and non-committal. 1 have not spoken in barren but freely, generalities, independently, nor in vague terms, emphatically have I declared my views.

Of course, this conclusion, of itself, could not compel the minority to appeal to the country, as it can avail itself of the septennial act. but it would probably deem it judicious to order a general elec¬ tion so that its course might be approved or condemned.

Nov. 27. — [Special.]— The causc'of home rule has won another vic¬ tory here, it has been decided to rivive the Kingdom of Bohemia, which lapsed after the defeat of Frederick, Prince Palatine, son-in-law of Jamps ! He was :i king of that state by election, and, in a wav. light of blood, but was lieaten out of it by the Emperor Ferdinand, of Ger¬ many, who was an Austrian prince. The Bohemians, or Czechs, are a branch of the great Slavonic family, ami for the most part protestants. They have never reused demanding home rule since thoy became subject to the house of Austria. Count Taafi’s advice has been the pause of this last homo rub* measure of Frah-- eis Joseph, and this accounts for the in humor which Emperor William mani¬ fested toward that minister when hens recently Naturally the Prussian t zechs will lx- discontented with their loss of nationality, and want to join their brethren from whom they are separ¬ the ated.

But this waa not enough for them, and so Count ju&afle brought into his cabinet been always Schoborh,a%d against Zalev-ki. who have carrying on the government of Bohemia for and by Germans, as in times past. They are for granting the Czechs the guarantees they ask against German government, and Count Laaffe will yield to them. The Covington Murder Case.

CIVIL SERVICE COMPLETELY APPROVED The (loan Swo«*p«r« Cautioned Not to loo Sanguine—A Probably lu»|>li-sd editorial Written l>> Mr. Halford — Nolan. Indiana folio, Nov. 27.—Iqion one after another of the questions of etre>'u- tive policy the Indianapolis Journal, whose editorial writer is President-Fleet Harrison's private secretary, sounds a warning and suggestive note. In the utter silence of Gen. Harrison upon all those matters there can be no more Hgniflcant indication of the trend of his opinions than the editorials Mr. Halford writes. He lias been Gen. Har- ri*on’s companion and political ally. In all his canvass for the governorship, sen- atorship and presidency, Halford has b en in.liis eounsels and at his elbow. The doctrines of Halford upon such sub¬ jects as civil service reform and solid south are set great store by here, and of¬ fice holders and office seekers read the utterances in the Journal, “Civii'Ssrvice Reform and a Clean Sweep," with com¬ placency or discontent, according . to whether they were in or wanted to be. “It was,” the ertifcle says, “the doc¬ trine and practice of ‘to the victors be¬ long the spoils,’ which created a necessi¬ ty for civil service reform. The move¬ ment did not come any too soon. And, if held to its original purpose, it cannot he too earnestly prosecuted for the wel¬ fare of the country. The fact that it has been made more or less odious by hypocritical professions and Peck- sniftian pretenses is not the fault of the movement itself. The movement is es¬ sentially light. Civil service reform in its true sense, that is, in the sense intro¬ ducing an element of stability into the civil service, and conducting it on a basis of merit and efficiency rather than mere in political spoils—civil service and re¬ form this sense has come to stay, will move forward rather than back¬ ward. “The lie republican unreasonable clean in sweepers their demands not on the next administration.

Dtrart Tat, ftlatrlimsd*ami Ofthri Hill* OrplaxiMg liHel- I$m*U—► CoagrrHw — It* Hand* Yuli, Washington. Nov. 27. —A glance at some of the more imjxirtanf iiiensures to be brought up at the approaching sess i on of congrexs may not prove uninteresting at this time. First »n«l foremowt, the Oklahoma trill will h* pushed by its sturdy friends, and tin* piol.nl Pities are that until that meas¬ ure is ilisposed of no other buaine.su will lie transacted. The bill was brought in at an early date last -ession. and would have lx*eu pushed to a vote but for the fact that the tariff was the great issue and tixik precedence over everything list*, because it bad been so vigorously recommended in the president’s message, last December, and was made the rally¬ ing cry in ttie |«irty platform adopted at fit. Louis. Owing partly to republican obstruction and |>arUy to the large num¬ ber of speeches made on lxith sides, to say debates, nothing tariff of the interesting disposed running the was as not of until so late in the session that it was difficult after that to muster a quorum in the house. This was the grand oppor¬ tunity of the opponents of the Oklahoma bill. A small but determined band, led by Messrs. Hooker, of Mississippi, and Burnes. of Georgia, pro vented any pro¬ gress whenever Messrs. Springer, Man¬ sur, Warner nnd other friends of the measure endeavored to press the Mil for¬ ward to a vote. Often they could fully not even call it up. It is thought that two thirds, if not throc-fourtlis, of the members of the house favor the proposi¬ tion to create the new territory of Okla¬ homa. Missouri. , ultnois, Kansas and ArknnsH.s members are .a unit in their support of the bill, and ’{'lie political lines have not been drawn, bill is the unfinished busi¬ ness, and therefore If will friends be the first thing to eoim* up. its remain firm they will either im able to pass it at an early date or they can prevent anything else from being done until their jiet prop¬ osition is given fair treatment, it may Is: that compromises will 1st offered on each side. By a previous agreement of the house the direct tax bill, which caused the only serious and stubborn deadlock of last session, ought to come, up on the 6th of December, but it is extremely doubt¬ ful whether the friends of will give way for this matter. will certain I v not do so if there is any danger of Oklahoma losing its place on tiie calendar as unfinished business. Mr. Outhwaite. Ills of Ohio, would like to call up Pacific railroad bill, but he will hardly attempt it in view of the de¬ termination on the part of Weaver and Anderson, of Iowa, as well as tha Ander¬ son of Kansas, and others to lead a fili¬ bustering movement against knocked the meas¬ bill ure. These members the out of time last session, and they are ready to renew the fight again next sesaion. * w If the hill proposing to create a new cabinet place, to be known as the secre¬ tary of agriculture, is brought up, the chances are that it will also provoke big administration fight, ai the change to be made in the next March has had a marked effect upon the views of many of the members who heretofore have amended supported the measure. The it, aod as it was late in session before this was done, tiie bill went where to the house committee Col. on agricul¬ ture, it now is. Hatch, chairman, has not yet signified what ac¬ tion he will favor at the coming sdasion, though bo disposed the probabilities are that he to press the matter. It is conceded by nearly every one that the Blair * durational bill will not have ghost sion. of a show at the approaching That scheme, which has been run through the senate two or three times, is looked up in a desk in the house rom- mitt *e >m education. It will stay there as long as this congre-s lasts. These are among the most matters that, are likely to be tackled the house this winter, outside of ular appropriation bills. and the looking to the admission of Montana. Washington and New Mexico. It is possible that a separate bill may passed admitting Dakota aa one state. Some of the members who liave rivid, are not disposed to think much business will be disposed of than the regular appropriation bill*; Others do not see why this may not made an industrious session, prolific many good results.
