granting a pensiou to General U. 8. Grant,
In the house a rciolutiou was adopted to in-

Washington, December 1.???[Special.]???Tho
galleries of both houses wero packed' when
they wero called to order at noon. On the
desks of many members appeared ,'ibrsl trib
utes. The most conspicuous honor of this
kind was bestowed on Senator Gorman of Ma-
ryland. His desk was literally coverod with
flowers in many designs. Above them all
floral rooster outstretching his wings in token
ol the democratic victory, which Gorman's
admirers attribute largely to his sagacious
work in the national committee.
It is universally conceded that there will bo
no efiort to open the tariff question this set
sion. Speaker Carlisle said to-night that any
such attempt would be worse than useless. He
thinks a judicious reform of tho tariff should
be undertaken by the next congress,
Congressman Adams, of Illinois, prodicta
Logan's election as his own successor in tho
senate. He says Logan will eventually break
tho deadlock which now seems inevitable
when the legislature begins to ballot for sen
ator. Logsn himself is not so hopeful and
has about_niado up his mind that ho Is loft all
around.

to fill tho unexpired term
Calkins, of Indiana, is tho youngest
member oi the house, being only twenty-six,
Ho is also tho tallest, measuring 0 feot b, an
is a democrat all tho way up.
Tho New York congressmen aro almost
unanimous in tho opinion that Levi P. Morton
will bo,elected to succeed Lapham in tho sou
ate. Tho proposition to elect Arthur has not
taken definite shape, and it is now thought
that Conkling's name will not be presented,
Morrison's friends arc counting strongly ou
his promotion .to tho senate in Logan's place.
They soy he could get ono independent repub
lican voto and thus successfully
break tho tie in tho legislature.
Other Illinois politicians hero just as confi
ilently predict Carter Harrison's election,
while Logan still cherishes tho hope of boing
his own successor.
Representative Willis, whq is la chargo of
the educational bill, will call a meeting of its
friends at tho Metropolitan hotel on Thursday
night, to consult ss to their best courso in tho
house. Mr. Willis is confident that tho Blair
bill, which has already passed tho senate, can
pass the house, but it would uot bo reached
this session in regular order. Ilia plan 2s to
get up the houso bill, which is well advanced
on tho calendar, and then to substitute tho
Blair bill for it. Mr. Willis says tho only dif
ficulty will bo in gtttiug*lho bill up under tho
rules, which giVo the miuority opposition
great power. If n voto can bo had, ho is con
fident of its pssssgo by a good majority. Tho
republicans aro almost solid for it, but it is
op]KMed by a good many democrats, and bit
terly by some of them, who regard It as a
dangerous concession to the federal govern
ment. x * K. H. R.
Washington, December 3.???To tho Consti
tution: Great uneasiness is evident in all tho
departments here. They had been filled up
with republican appointees under strict parti
san methods, before the civil aorvico began,
The foW democrats who havo slipped in, and
who have often been taunted with their politi
cal vitws, find since tho election that thoj
havo many more sympathizers than they
dreamed of when they seemed a little flock of
democratic lambs in a great horde of republi
can lions. In ono subdivision of the treasury,
a voto was taken tho day beforo tho election,
and stood, Blaiiic forty-eight, Cleveland two.
It is said that Blaino and Cleveland would
run very close if that room wero polled now,
t THIS PLBA OK CIVIL 8IBVICK.
How far the civil service rules will regulato
. appointments and removals from theso minor
.offices, is a question ou which various opinions
are expressed. Those who pretend to know
Cleveland's views on this matter, say that
while he is in favor of well reg
ulated civil servics, ho will
not permit any specie* plea of this
kind to keep in office incompetent persons, or
thoso who are objectionable for other than
political reasons. It is probable that a!I the
present department clerks will be subjected to
an examination as searching as that provided
for the applicants. If this is done It is believed
by those well potted la iho condition of tho
departments that fully ono*fourth of tho

affairs of the country to lug in General Grant's
proposed pension ss a- .national issue. The
effect of ms cordial indorsement la doubtful.
than help the bill to place General Grant on
the retired list. It passed the senate -last
session but for tome reason, probably f! good
one, was never brought up in tho heuse.
It was understood that tho , ad
vocates of the Fit* John, Porter
bill wero so incensed at ita veto that tho re
publican minority in tho home fOared to risk
the Grant bill until the indignation of Portsr*a
champions had cooled. Grant???s bill was ear-
rfed through the senate on a tide of sympathy
the very day after the Grant k Ward (allure
was announced and before the ugly disclosures
in tbst fraud bad been made, llow far they
will effect the bill ??e- doubtful. Most of the
democrats will still vote for it, but many will
not. It can hardljrbe argued tbst General
Grant standi in need of the
money, for he has an fn-
como of $ 17,500 from the popular subscrip
tion money which was wifely tied up beyond
(hereaeh of hie mama for speculation. He
can live well enough on this, and the addition
??f$13,QS0 a year would not be much help to
him if he used it to pay off Use millions be
end bis partners owe. They say Fred it try

from President Arthur, and is setoally cioio

atively poor.
TWO BEA9 MEN.
Ben Butler and Charlie Foster were in Wash-
tagton yesterday. Both wero the objects of
that abnormal curitiity that loves to view the
remeins of one# animate organisms. Foster's
!sst hope of rssueeitation perished with
ilaine???a fortunes, and Butler has ceased to be
amusing, even as t professional fraud. He la
proprietary instincts, which are strongly de
veloped. His .practice at the law Is always
great, and be has heavy real estate invest
ments here and in Massachusetts. Nobody
knows what Foster is doing, and the fact that
there is such a man is suggested in Washing
ton only by his occasional-visits to tho city.
THE HUKORED CArCl???S,
U was rumored to-day that there was a
movement to call a democratic caucus to con-
shier tho propriety of tariff legislation at this
session, but investigation shows that no such
thing is contemplated. While Mr. Morrison
soys ho would bo glad if he could find some
way to reduce tho revenue at once, ho wants
no caucus, llo says the caucus last session
authorized tho ways and means committee to
bring forward such moosuresas it saw proper
and left tho members free to act on them as
they pleased. He will mako whatever sug
gestions he has to tho committee. Very little
feeling about among the democrats will con
vince Mr. Morrison that they arc in no humor
for useless attempts at tarifi??? legislation. Gen
eral Forney, of Alabama, who is second on
tho appropriation committee, tells mo that ho
expects very little legislation outside tho reg
ular appropriation bills. Ho says tho feeling
is general in favor of allowing tho new ad
ministration to start in with things about aa
they arc.
Arrangements for the inauguration are pro-
Richelieu Robinson to proparo a joint
>n, to bo offer* 1 *-* * " *???
restricting Cleveland i
resolution, to bo offered by him next Monday,
* " to the simple methods ol
the fathers, and providing that he shall walk
to the capitol, ride in a car, or at worst, in a
carriage, with no more than two horses. It is
cruelly suspected that Robinson, haring twist
ed the British lion's tail until it ia numb, is iu
search of some new method of notoriety.
Meanwhile the national democratic commit
tee and the local committee are preparing tor
the grandest inauguration in tho history of tho
country. F. II. R.
Washington, December 3.???[8pecial.]???An
illustrated paper in Washington cartoons the
rc-asicinbling of congress. It represents a
host of statesmen dying to tho capital, while
tho statuo of liberty, which surmounts tho
dome, is saying: "Hero the}* como again, and
I won't havo a moment's peace all wiuter."
If the bronzo beauty of the dome doea really
regret tho return of congress she enjoys a mo
nopoly of that foeling. Washington is de
lighted over it. Tho hotels havo filled up
their deserted rooms; tho streets arc no
longer quiet; tho shops have assumed
a holiday gaiety, and tho landlady has ceased
to bo forlorn. All on account of the return of
about four hundred gentlemen who left the
city in July.
But this little group is the center and tho
attraction for a great and variegated moss of
humanity. Not until this band and its myriad
bangers-on arrive can "the season" begin
the nation's cipital. Congress assembled
Monday to remain in session until the fourth
of next March. It has about seventy-five
working days. Yet this brief ses
sion will mark, perhaps, tho liveliest
winter in tho history of a city more famous
for excitement than???for piety. Added to tho
rspid growth and increasing extravsganco of
the city itself aro other conditions conducive
to n splendid season. It is tho oncling of an
old and tho beginning of a new administra
tion, on event which invariably attracts a
great rush to the capital. It is much more.

but natural that its follow
ers should want to witnoss its triumphal rein
statement into office.
A POLITICAL SESSION.
It has been well said that this will be a po
liticol rather than a legislative session. Little
regular work is expected of congress. Tho
common expression of its members is that
little will bo attempted. Mr. Randall bad his
appropriations committee cutting oat tho nee
entry work last week. All ita general billi
11 be ready at an early stage of tho session
???nd can be ]>asied whenever congress chooses.
THE EDUCATION BILL.
Tho bill for tho aid of
education is sure to como
The Blair bill ???? jy-??;ed by tho senate is
dUtaitcfu! to tomo or the advocates ot the idea
in the house and the difficulty of constructing
a bill that will become a law is great.
THR TERRITORIES.
Dakota and Washington territories will
have their usual lobbiss' at
work to pave their way into
the union, but they will havo to wait???prob-
ably several sessions yet. Just now we have
states enough.
Whatever may bo considered, yon may be
sure of ono question that will not como up???
that Is the tarifi. Mr. Carlisle has said bo.
Mr. Morrison Is silent as tho grave. Frank
Hurd baa como back, looking meek aa a lamb
ond Joe Blackburn will not sound his fog
horn on this theme, at least beforo
ho goes into tho senate next
March. For the present Iho tariff reformer is
out of a job.
Any programme that is adopted will afford
enough materiel to make theso three months
wide awake, interesting and important to tho
country. It would bo a great event, a very
unusual one, too, ifeongress simply met and
after counting out tho money to meet tho noxt
yosr*s expenses, just left tho country to work
out its own salvation undor already existing
laws. At any rate doing nothing ia preferable
to doing wrong. f. u. a.
TU?? RANDALL AND KOBRISON MIN.
While tho democrats of all shades of opin
ion feel happy over tho recent great victory, a
few of them aro attempting to appropriata
special honors. Among these is Congressman
Townshcnd, ol Illinols,who recently remarked
that the country had signally rsbuked tho
democratic congressmen who opposed .tho
Morrison bill last session, by leaving the inoat
of them at home. On figuring out tne taets In
the case, it appears that of one hundred sad
fifty democrats who voted for the Morrison
bill, seventy will not be in the next congress.
Forty democrats voted with Randall against
the bill. Of this number sixteen were uot re
turned . Over forty- six per cent of the Morri
son men were retired, while only forty! per
cent of the Randall men got left. Somebody
should present Mr. Townxbsrid with a l|st of
the members or the next bouse. F. H. It.
Washington, December 0.???Since Blaine???s
arrival hero be 1ms not (.been seen In public.
He bts been visited by several special friends
at his presented home, which is Kx-Senator
Windom???s on Scott Circle, a few blocks from
Blaine???s own palace. Ho eould not seek
peace under bis own gorgeous
roof and fig-tree, because when
his plana wero based on oeeupaney of the white
hens* he leased that splendid pile to Mr. Les
ter, a retired Chicago democratic millionaire,
who made bis millions Sn dry good* and wants
to spend part of them as United States minis
ter some where. Bince his Augusta speech
Blaine's friends are afraid to serenade him or
do anythfng to set bis tongue a wagging in
public. Last night he dined
with Wm. Walter Thelpi, Ilia
friends declare that he Is done with polities,
ahd that be preserves remarkable cheerful-
11 plunge at once into work on the
second volume of bis history. It is probably
true that his large private fortune was seri
ously impaired by bis contributions during
the presidential campaign, but he
ia still for above need of sympathy in a final-
rial direction. Mr. Elaine announced bis
permanent retirement from politics three yean
???go. He may not be more sincere now ti*n
be was then, but the expressions of many re
publican leader* indicate that politics are now
retiring from Mr. Blaino. He his touched
the highest point of all his greatness and has
tened to bit decline.
THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE,

Coast Defenses???Commerce???Utah,
In his annual message to congress, the presi
dent congratulates tho cation on Its peaceful
acquiescence in tho result of the - rocent elec

LOCAL OPTION.

Passes tlie Senate.
Mr. Xorthen moved to take up the general
local option bill. Tho bill was taken up.
Mr* Davidson spoke at co&siderabio leugth
in opposition to tho bill. He said no one could
possibly feel a deeper interest in the cause of
temperance than ho fell, and he realized Cully
tbo evils of strong drink, but tbo measure
proposed was not the proper one. Ho arguei
that it was unconstitutional, from tho fact
operative in the counties that havo already
adopted f prohibition. Ho urged humorous
other objections to tho bill makiug a very elo
quent appeal for its defeat, holding that pro
hibition docs not prohibit.
Mr. Davidson was followed by Mr. Northen,
tho author of tho bill, who spoke
iu its behalf. IIo said the
bill meant simply that tho legislature would

Four year* ago ho presented to tho legislature

boro to-day, not in fact but in spirit, asking
the samo thing. Ho argued that the bill was
not unconstitutional.
Mr. Cabnnisa followed, arguing the uncon
stitutionality of tho bill.
Mr. Falligant made a very earnest speech
against tho iiassago of tho.bill. He said mor
als could not bo legislated into a people; that
the solution of the problem was moral suasion,
ond that tho bill was insincere and unjust and
did not meet tho approval of his judgment.
Ho was very severo in his denunciation of tho
prohibition laws, stating that to him they wero
exceedingly obnoxious. He was quite sarcas
tic in his allusions to the bill.
Mr. Traylor spoke In support of tho bill.
Mr. Mitchell spoke in favor of the bill, say
