Washington, May 2.—The Vice-Pres
ident laid before the' Senate the unfinish
ed business, being the resolution for the
election of officers of the Senate. Mr.
Farley called attention to the large num
ber of nominations which were awaiting
action by the Senate, and moved logo
into executive session. The peAplo of his
State of all parties were appealing to this
Senate to consider tbe important matters
in which they were directly interested.
Petitions were daily coming from the
public press of California asking for the
consideration of the Chinese treaty. In
one of those papers lie had observed that
he had been charged with retarding the
consideration of tbe Chinese treaty. Tbe
record of the Senate contradicted that
statement. Formally weeks the Demo
cratic Senators had invited the Republi
cans to go into executive session.
Eight hundred or one thousand China
men were arriving semi-monthly at San
Francisco. A ship full of Chinamen
with small-pox on board, was to-day lying
at quarantine in the harbor at San Fran
cisco, and the people of California were
protesting against this neglect on tlie part
of the Senate, for which neglect tho Re-
publican parly was responsible.
Mr. Dawes said that ho was as anxious
to go into executive session as any man
could be, but the record of the past two
months would disclose tlie fact that tbe
Senator (Farley), aud those who acted
with him, had been solely responsible for
any delay in not going into executive ses
sion.
Mr. Farley replied that tlm Republican
party could not escape its responsibility
for the evils which had befallen the peo
ple of the Pacific coast.
Mr. Dawes rejoined that the Senator
stood here and told the people of Cal
ifornia that rather than a Democratic
secretary of tlie Senate be displaced, be
would let the Chinese come and bring all
the evils that they might; that tho Sen
ator and his party had been in the major

ed from the Senate committees. The re
port will not take tho ground that no
other nominations should be considered
during the present session, but that the
programme of business for the present
should be restricted in this manner. Tbe
report, if adopted by the caucus, will prob
maledictions upon the Senate itself.
Mr. Farley repeated the statement that
-the people of California were protesting
against the inaction of the Senate, and de
clared that the Republican party of that
State were protesting against tho election
of Mr. Gorham as secretary of the Sen
ate. He believed that the oilier side of
the chamber had at last come to its
senses. There was an opinion on the
Pacific coast that tlie Senator from Mas
sachusetts (Mr. Dawes) aud bis colleagues
were opposed to placiug any restriction
upon the immigration of the Chinese.
Whether that were true or not time would
develop, but the present action of the
Senate* would strengthen this opinion.
Mr. Dawes inquired to what party the
people of California were indebted for any
merits which the Chinese treaties might
contain, and to whom were they indebted
tor the fact that those treaties were not
to-day the law of ihe laud ?
Air. Beck taunted the Republicans with
cowardice in not going into executive ses
sion. They had not dared to do so be
cause of divisions in tlie party on impor
tant nominations. The Senator from
Minnesota (Mr. McMillan) had
declared himself responsible for tlie nom
ination of Johnson as chief clerk, and the
Senator from Virginia (Air. Mahotic) had
declared himself responsible for the nom
ination of Mr. Gorham. If the Senate
went into executive session and some im
portant nomination come up and either of
these geutleman voted against the notni- ably result In the holding of an executive
nation—no more pationage for them from ‘
the administration. If they voted for it.
then the stalwart Republicans would see
that none of tlie men that they wanted
should hold places. Therefore, a commit
tee of seven—a committee of safety or
ecumenical council—had been appointed
to dictate to tlie consciences of Senators.
The Republican organ in tills city had an
nounced that the Republicans were going
into executive session so carefully guard
ing their action that tliey would allow no
controverted nomination to be considered
at all. Tlie Democrats were not to be al<
lowed to take any part in the executive
session, but were to sit with arms folded
and let the Republicans settle matters to
whatever exteut they dared.
Mr. Dawes expressed his surprise at what
he termed the novel announcement that
there was a great gulf yawning before the
Republican members of the Senate. It
was new to him.
Mr. Saulsbury took the floor in denial of
the charge made by Dr. Dawes, that tbe
Democratic Senators were responsible for
the delay iu transacting public business;
and asserted the contrary to be tho truth,
He argued in opposition to the right of tlie
Vice-President to cast a rote upon the
question of election of officers, and de
clared that upon such questions the Dens
ocratic Senators would not consent that
the Republicans should be placed in a po
sition In which the vote of the Vice-Pres
ident might be used to give them power
which did not belong to them. He con
tended that tho Democrats were justified
in ail that they had done in resisting the
passage of the peuding resolution and
the cognate questions connected there
with. He did not charge that
any bargatn had been entered into,
hut lie did assert that the people of the
country believed it, and would believe
that the election of Mr. Riddleoerger was
tbe consummation of that bargain—that
it would tend to ca3t reproach upon the
Senate. The corruption and jobbery
which had existed for years in some of
the executive departments of the govern
ment had been well calculated to Icsseu
the estimation of tbe people for the ex
ecutive branch of the government, aud be
protested against any action of the Senate
which would still further lessen tbe
government m in the estimation of
the people. He warned the
Republicans that their course
would bring the present administration
into disrepute. He was not sure that the
administration could hare one halt of its
nsminations confirmed except for the aid
which It expected from the Democrats.
But if this was kept up, and tbe admin
istration was to aid in strengthening the
hands of repudiation in the Southern
Stales, be (Saulsbury) for one, would say
unhesitatincly that that administration
was not worthy his support.
Tlie motion to go into executive session
was lost—yeas 21, nays 22. An hour was
consumed iu calling tbe roll upon dilato
ry motions, aud then, at 3:15, on motion
or Mr. Dawes, the Senate adjourned.
Washington, May 2.—A decision was
rendered by the Supreme Court of the
United States to-day io the case of Wm.
Neal against tbe Slate of Delaware, in er-
to death by the Stale court for the crime
of rape. His appeal to this court is
based upon tbe fact that
the Slate court refused to grant a
motion made by him that the indictment
and panel of jurors be quashed for the
reason that colored men were excluded
from the grand and petit Juries by which
he was iudicted and tried. This court
holds that the exclusion of colored per
sons from juries, which is complained of
in this case, did not, as a matter of law,
result from the constitution and the laws
of the State. The case, therefore, could
not baye been properly removed to the
Federal courts. Since, however, there
was improper exclusion of colored men
on account of race from the juries by
which he was indicted sud tried, the Slate
court erred in refusing to grant the mo
tion of tbe accused to quash the indict
ment and tbe panel of jurors. Its judg
ment is therefore reversed with costs, and
tlie case remanded, with direction* to set
aside the verdict as well as the order de
nying, the motions to quash the indict
ment and panel of jurors, and for such
proceedings upon the further bearing of
those motions as may be consistent with
the principles of the opinion of this court.
Justice Harlan delivered tbe opinion—
Chief Justice Waite and Justice Field
dissenting.

made in Parliament by Sir Charles W.
Dilke, nnder foreign secretary.]
