After the morning business - ?-it ri;<snr>sf>d of a conference report on r the local railroad measure came up and 1 was being discussed.

In due time the conference report was a disposed of and Senator George- of Mise sissippi was about to conclude his speech 1 against the force bill, but before he pro0 ceeded. Senator Stewart startled his Re-' s publican associates by moving to lay 8 aside the elections bill and consider the r silver bill. ?. Such a suggestion at such a time, and from such a source, completely demoral^ ? ized Senators Sherman, bpooner, xryc, " Evarts, Platte, Dolph and other Republican leaders.

It was understood that everything was to be settled satisfac? torialy to the Republicans at-i caucus to '' be held to-night. d hoar's vaix protest. Finally Senator Hoar recovered sufll>' ciently to protest against Sen ator George a yielding the floor to the Senator from Nevada and was proceeding to deliver a ^ general scolding to all who differed with him. ^ Senator Gorman could not afford to :s deal in sentimentalities in the midst of a political battle, so he called the Massachusetts Senator to order, holding that a ~ mocmrA VY motion to coDsiuer a jjai wv 5i was not debatable. Senator Harris promptly sustained the point 01 order, thus checking Senator e Hoar's flow of language. lu Senator George then wanted a chauce !r to make a personal explantion, but he too was called down, and the question of whether the silver bill should be taken 1* up was submitted to the Senate. THE SURPRISE COMPLETE." l? Before half of the people present could realize the exact situation the clerk was in the mklst of a roll-call the result of a which would decide the fate of the force "r bill, for the present at last.

A few days ago, just befo:e he deivered his speech against the force jill, Mr. Woleott was persuaded to call it the White House to pay his respects. Some of his colleagues, older in years ind accordingly with more discretion Dhan he, convinced him that it was Dnly proper that, as a senator, he should " ' ~ 1 HP wait upon the rresiueao auu ( assurances of his most distinguished | esteem and consideration. The young | senator accordingly went over to the j ?Wtf-lfiOTning, "sZuV hour after waiting in the ante room some time with a lot of miscellaneous people, as is the custom in this free republic, was ushered into the presence of the President. Mr. Harrison stood at the corner of his desk, with his feet planted tirmly and his head thrown back upon his square shoulders as if anticipating an attack. The senator grasped with more or less cordiality, the hand of the President, and said: 'Good morning .Mr. President. I have come to pay you my respects and to wish you the compliments of the season." "Yes?"said the President. i "It is a pleasant day," said the senaator. | "Yes," said tlie I'resident. "An agreeable contrast to the terrible hot spell during the last summer," said the senator. 'Still, I have seen hotter summers than last summer was," said the President. "Is it possible?" said the senator, "Yes; I have known it to be so hot in Washington some summers that the pavements melted into a soft, stick; substance," said the President. "I hope we shall have no such weather as that during the coming summer,' said the senator. "I hope not," said the President. "Good morning," said the senator.. "Good morning," sam tne x rtrs.ucrut &Dd as Mr. Wclcott disappearet through the door, Mr. Ilarrisor brought his head back to its norma position, released his hold upon th< desk, and, with the air of a conqueror resumed the chair that he had vacatec upon receiving the senator's card. licodle and Ilulldoziiifr.

It has been intimated fron vrachino-fnn that the administratis cannot afford to lose a Senator Iron Illinois, and even the return of Mi Farwell is better than the election of Democrat or a farmer.

I have just received a letter from Far- *well, at Osborne, and he says their ' Representative does not like the Alii- J ance candidats and that he is an old lie- T publican and would vote for some good Republican, but would n >t for Ingalls. j Tar well wants to know* if 1 want his h vote. 1 think i: could be had. I wrote ? him an evasive letter, asking him what he thought of it, etc., that I had not , . written any one upon the subject, and , would not be in Ingall's way. I I saw Senator JJerrv, of Marshall tively opposed to Ingalls, but say 3 he will vote for him if there is no other Republican to vote for. Judge Perkins introduced him to me and asked me to talk with him in his (Perkins)Jinterest, and 1 did so. lie .vould notsupport Osborne or Peck but saidihe could support Perkins. I told him not to fear, ihere would come a time when he would get an opportunity to vote for some other Republican than Iogalls, and he was anxious to get into the deal. I told him to talk to Senator Wilson as 1 thought he felt just as b" (Berry) did. I shall -write Senator Wilson, of Hayes City, to-night and ask him what he thinks about the possibility of my election, and he never talks. I told him you were my friend, and he could talk with you confidentially. 1 have ' no money to spenu on me ngnc. jll succesful I could and would put up So,000, i but it is diliicult to use it in that way; that is a promise in case of success. Yet you may have some friends who would be willing to take such chance. ; We will pass that bill to establish ' that United States judicial district and r lean have the United States marshal and clerk. The iirst changes with the ; administrations and the clerks is for life. .But I guess you know I take care of my friends. We have agreed not to agitate this bill until the election there is over, for ; Ingalis would be jumped onto for all 1 the places and it would injure him, or 1 some of the Eastern fellows might try 1 to commit him against it. Now we * will leave the whole matter with you '? and "Wilson and abide the results with J content. If there is anything new in printed matter that 1 can adjust let me know. I have just finished drawing a bill i " shall introduce to loan money on farm p security. 1 like it and I think you will. !. Will send you a copy as soon as it is 1 printed.* It is on the general plan of f issuing money on farm security in the 1 interests of farmers, instead of issuing r it on bonds in the interest of bankers. Yours truly, 11 13. J. Turner. ? I\ S.?Unless Ingalls gets some Alli' ance votes he will go in with sixty-two, who will vole for him a reasonable number of times, but as soon as their r instruction are completed they will ^ leave him. Some of the Alliance can* didates may expect to get some of the r Republicans when they leave Iogalis j1 that would keep all of them in the held. Nodding thought he could get the II epublican vote when Ingalls ;vas out of the way. Of course, an Alliance x caucus for that purpose would name ! the mac, and that would end it. This letter came to McUrath's ofiice , with other correspondence and was 1 opened by his comidence clerk, who ? turned it over to Chairman Chase, of ^ the Alliance legislative committee. ?* Capies were made of the letter and the ;c original was turned over to McGrath. s The Alliance leaders then asked Mc^ ,n Grath to give the letter to the public L" and clear himself of any suspicion ;e which might attach to the propositions contained in it. lie refused to give ST the letter to Chairman Chase for publif catfdn, ia^sing nothing of the copies I Uot?4r?rr l\oon rjllildft Of it.

The plaintiil' seeks au entrance into I Court to prove, first that the proclama- g Lion obliges the Secretary of State to s take the curious position that although t '*y never lost their status in the | Union, ohli^fiLinns could be ?n- J nulled as if t>*j?*H<Ttt7'and second that the State obligations already incurred could be thus repudiated and vested rights taken away.

The suit is to recover for destroying the value of negotiable bonds and their coupons. Interest is also claimed on the bonds, amounting to the same as the principal, the total amouat being $250,000. Gephart says that as the Government 01 the United States cannot be sued, it was necessary to proceed against its officer, the Secretary of State. In that respect he thinks the suit involves the I same principle as some of the recent suits against the officers of the State of Virginia. 3Iatt< i for lavestijcatloon. Columbia,S.

A new set of books was therefore procured, and the former books are to be gone through to discover where the error is. The Lame "Walk.
