(Second Session.) The Senate. Washington, April 23.— 0n motion of Sena tor Allison, the Senate, yeas 41, nays 24, agreed to adjourn till Monday. While tho secretary was calling tho roll, the oonfusi.ni in the chamber was bo great that for a fourth time this forenoon the Vice Presid it directed busi ness be suspended until order should bo re stoted. He directed tho sorgcant-at-arni3 to enforce the order. Tue post route bill was taken up and passed. Senator West presented » memorial of the St. Louis chambers of commerce asking an appropriation for constructing reservoir* at the headwaters of the Mississippi river to increase the depth of the river and permit the passage of light draught steacnera at ill seasons. Re ferred. The morning hour having expired, the Sen ate resumed consideration of tbo resolutions declaring Henry H. Spofford entitled to the peat in the Senate now held be Wm. Pitt Kel logg- Senator Bailey reported the resolutions. Senator Bailey argued against the principle of res adjudicate as governing the Senate's action. That principle had never been recognized by the Senate. The doors should never be closed upon an appeal for justice. The State was the only judge of what body was its legal legislature, and Louisi ana having endorsed the Nicholl's legislature, the only question the Senate could decide on was whether Spofford was or was not elected by that legislature. If he was, he could not be excluded from the Senate. Senator Biiley reviewed the history of the Packard legislature aud said the only place in the world where anyfone of its acta were recog nized or perpetuated, was here in this chamber. He contrasted it with the Nicholls' legislature, honored in all it 3 acts. There was no question ai to what was the lawful government of Louisiana. If G<>v. Nich>lls, or the legislature that elected Spwfford, should call on the Presi dent for aid in suppressing domestic violence, could there bfi any doubt that that aid would be granted without a question? The fact that the Senate once recognized the Packard legis lature did not legalize that legislature. No power can do that excopt the power of the State itself. To use the words of Senator Bforton, "The State may have stated wrongly, but its decision is final, and the government of the United States cannot interfere." At the conclusion of Senator Bii Icy 'a fpcech. Senator Oonkling asked hi;u if he would con sent to argue the two questions tmchirtg the views of law in bis remarks. Senator Bailey eairt he was much fatigued. He had no objection to the points being stated, but he was well aware that the Senator from New York would never seek information from the Senator from Tennessee. Senator Conkling said that after hearing some of the propositions laid down by the Senator from Tennessee, he (Conkling) waa not surprised that 1113 credulity, or capacity, or belief, was so great that he rcaly believed as ho had stated. Senator Kellogg wished Senators who should hereafter speak in favor of the resolutions to address themselves to a point which he held to be fully established, namely: that the Nicholls legislature had not a quorum of members in the lower house elected upon the face of the retnrns by theshowincof the Democratic party itself during the whole term of sixty days. Senator Jones obtained the floor, but preferr ing to speak on Monday, yielded to Senator Paddock, on whose motion the pending order was informally laid aside, and tho House bill establishing a land office in Montana territory, at Miles City, passed. Senator Ransom, from the committee on railroads, reported with amendments, and without recommrndation, Senate bill to extend the time for the completion of the Texaa Pa cific railway. Placed on the calendar. The bill granting a pension to Herman Net berfiold, a scout, passed. On motion of Senator Maxey the bill to au thorize a retired list of non-commissioned of ficers of thirty years' service, was taken up. Maxey spoke in favor of it. Senator Beck opposed it because of the very serious question of where the money was c»ming from to pay the great number of pen sions, which seemed likely to be extended to every person in the service of the government, civil or military. We were not going to have iiny more wars, except possibly on the seas. He opposed the bill a? the beginning of a system whose end no one could see. Senator Edmunds was not sure, with the Senator from Kentucky, that there would bz no use hereafter for an army. There would probably until the millenium, be insurrections, violations of revenue laws, sprays of rebellious Indian troubles and other occasions for nee of the military power. If the dispatches in to day's papers were correct, Canada had refused to do what the United States might rightly feel justified in insisting upon as a matter of jus tice (referring to the refusal of the English government to take notioe of the Fortune bay attacks on American fisheries). The condition of EuroDe gave weight to the principle that it is the part of wise statesmanship to be prepared for whatever may come, though he hoped that no trouble would ever come. He would like to Bee the bill amended so as to in clude private soldiers. The government could not do better than to show gratitude to the men who protected it. After further debate the bill was laid aside. It will be the first bill for consideration on the calendar Monday. On motion of Senator Cockrell the House joint resolution authorizing the secretary of war to lend tents to the governor of Missouri for use of sufferers by the recent tornedo in that State was passed. The Keliogg-Spofford resolutions will be the regular order after the morning hour Monday. The House. Washington, April 23.— Mr. Cox, chairman of the committee on foreign affairs, reported back the joint resolution for the abrogation of the Clayton Bulwer treaty as the unanimous report of the committee. Referred to the com mittee of the whole. Mr. Cox aIBO reported back the joint resolu tion for a commission to ascertain the basis of reciprocity with the British provinces, which was ordered printed and recommitted. Private business having been postponed till to-morrow the House weut into committee of the whole, Mr. Whitthorne in the chair, on tho special deficiency bill, and Mr. Beed concluded his speech in opposition to the marshals clause of the bill. He declared the Democratic party for the last twenty-five years had been on the wrong Bide of every question and he pictured tho beginning and end of the Potter committee. It had started out with flags flying and with many booms, but had returned to port in a dismantled condi tion and in sadness bearing two parcels, a lit tle one containing Republican frauds and a big one containing Democratic frauds. In conclusion he eulogized the Republican party. Mr. McMahon was lost in amazement that his friends on the other side had ob-tructed public business for two days in order to listen to Bcch a speech a.% that of the gentleman from Maine. The marshals clause was opposed be cause it was a political rider. If the Republi can Bide was against having troops at the polls and in favor of dividing marshals among the different parties, the amendment was not a political rider, it was put forward to test tho sincerity of gentlemen on thejother side. The Democratic party made its fight for fair and honest elections. Give it fair and free elec tions, and it asked for nothing else. The clerk proceeded to read the Senate amendments in which concurrence was recom- mended. The marshalls clause having been read, Mr. Garfield said that nothing was more apparent than the persistent determination of the majority to forco measures, however good, or however wise, into a place where it took the same old grounds of coercing some branch of the governmsnt. No man could show any rea son why these measures should not go through independently and take the course of inde pendent legislation. In regard to tho merits of the present proposition, ho withed to say that deputy marshalla wero really assistant supervisors. These supervisors were by law appointed by the court Why should not their assistant* be appointed in the same way, with out regard to party affiliation? Nothing would rejoice him more than to see this clause put into proper shape, so that it would fit into the law, and become a part of tho statutes. He had yet to learn that the country was so far lost in anarchy and confusion that a Democrat could not trust a Republican and a Republican a Democrat to help carry on a fair election law. He was willing, ou this great and dan gerous question of elections, to sea the two political parties harnessed together by bonds of common consent to stand around the national polls and enforce a national election law, and he for his part, look ing to the future danger that hung over elec tions, would be exceedingly gratified to see that whatever else of partisanship might exist, at least ail parties should meet at the ballot box and unite in law and in justice to enforce free equal national elections everywhere. (Ap plause.) Mr. Keifcr disagreed with hi* colleague, Gar field, as to the merits of the amendment oven as an inJopendeut proposition, regarding it as part of an intent to break down the power of the government at the very fountain head of its strength. The amendment was then concurred iv. It provides that the appointment of special depu ty mashala shall be made by the circuit court of tho United States for the district in which such marshals are to perform their duties, bat should there hi no session of the circuit courts tbea district judges arc authorized to conveue their courts for that purpose. The Senate amendment in regard to the ap propriation for the public printer was concurr ed in with the amendment fixing the appropri ation af $250,000. The Senate amendment appropriating $286, -000 fur continuing |the construction of the new state department building was, after a Bhoit debate ,non- concurred in. The Senate amendment appropriating $5,000 for the preparation and publication of post route maps was concurred in. The committee then rose and reported its action to the House where that action was ratified. Mr. Waddell alluded to the terrible toruadu which had swept over the town of MarshfielJ in his district, and which had left a large num ber of people homeless and destitute, and iu troduced a joint resolution directing the secre tary of war to furnish the governor of Mis souri with 500 tents for the benefit of the suf ferers. The joint resolution was passed. Mr. Hammond, from the committee on judiciary, reported back the bill authorizing the registration of trade marks and protection thereof, and the House proceeded to its con sideration After debate the bill went over without action. The Speaker announced tha appointment of the following members as the select committee to investigate the alleged corruption in regard to the contested election case of Donnelly vs. Washburn: Messrs Carlisle, Bickcell, Reagan, Louusberry, Fort, Upriegraff, lowa, acd But ter worth. The Honae then took a recess until 7:30, the evening session to be for the consideration of the bill establishing a municipal units for tho District ot Columbia. COLORED COLONIZATION. conway'b scheme. Washington, April ;J3. — The Senate exodus committee to-day examined T. W. Con way, of Brooklyn, who was sometime connected with the Freedmens' bureau in the South. He wa a satisfied the movement of the negroes was due to tho cruelties practiced upon them by the people of the South. Oa account of their good qualities as workers and voters he was anxious to see nejrroes come to Indiana, as their votes would conduce to the advantage of the Republican party, which he regarded a3 the party most favorable to the interests of the colored people and most identified with the highest civiliza tion of the country. He stated in the course of his examination that he was connected with a company, recently founded in New York, for the purpose of buying lands in New Mexico and colonizing upon them colored people who are able to help themselves.

As It Casts its Light on the Chicago Market. [Special Telegram to the Globe. ] Chicago, April Cables all around the list higher. Our market opened excited at $1.10 for May with the biggest kind of dealing. The gang wero on hand giving the hungry bears their fill, and the suckers took it, milk over again. No one to blame but themselves. If there ever was a clear case of bunko, the past three days has shown it and not the sim ple fools, and mind you they are numbered with our best operators, never tumbled to the game, but their* bank accounts to-morrow will show considerable lightness compared with three days ago. which will open their eyes to the foolishnesn of the plan. - This afternoon the decline brought to the front one of our prominent brokers, who took all offerings with out exciting the market.

Kelloch, in the Chronicle office. Chicago, April 23. — Particulars of the Ealloch-De Young tragedy in San Francisco can hardly get through to-night as the over land wires have been almost completely weather-bound all the week and to-night there is only one wire working through and that clogged with accumulated business and in such precarious condition that it may fail at any moment. It is evident that terriffc storms of wind and rain of which an intima tion was recently telegraphed from San Fran cisco have prevailed on the Pacific coast. Tho storm which prevailed in this section to-nignt was the severest of the season and appears to extend all along the western territory as far as Ogden, and the lightning here and at interme diate points has been remarkably continuous and vivid. THE GALLOWS. KUUENT AND EEDEMIEU. St. Louis, April 23.— Edward Nugent and Henry J. Redemier were banged in the city jail yard at three minutes past eight this morn ing. Nugent shot bis wife on the 20th of August, 1876, while both were under the influ ence of liquor. Redemier's victim was Franz ' Vosse, a respectable old builder. The horni-s cide was committed August 19,1878, and wa so utterly wanton and motiveless that the mur~ dcrer's sanity has been questioned. Nugent's children and other relatives spent the greater part of the night with bim, bidding him good night about IA, M. He laid down at 2 and slept till 5, when he dressed and spent some time with Father Burke. Bedemier has shown utter indifference to his fate, protesting that he had not had a fair trial. Within an hour of his death he sent for Nugent's confessor, ex pressed a desire to become a Catholic, and was baptized in that faith. The death warrants were read in the cells, and men went to the scaffold at 7:30. Nugent simply said he was at peace with all the world, and he hoped with heaven. He was ready. Redomier said, I have not had a fair trial. My lawyers did not do their duty, or I would not be here now. He then stepped directly under the noose. Nugent assisted in putting the black cap over bis own head. Both men died without struggling. Nugent had no pulse after nine -minutes, and Bedemier's failed at twelve minutes. ; A statement by Nugent and placed in the hands of Judge Wm. 0. Jones yesterday, baa been opened since the execution. In it Nugent denies having killed his wife, refers to her death as an accident, and says his eldest daugh ter, who was not a witness on his trial, she hav ing been sent out of town, could have cleared up the mystery. He says the evidence against him was a mass of lies, and charges his attorn ey with mismanaging his case. i Nugent left , four children, the eldest a daughter 16 years old, and as an act of charity as well as humani ty, John P. Mullaly, a well known citizen, took the body of the dead father and gave it a decent burial this afternoon. THE GARDEN DISASTER. FLIJISEY MATERIAL.

[Washington Correspondanoe Chicago Times, i There is but one opinion here about the Sy raouse convention yesterday. It is regarded as an overwhelming triumph tor bamuel J. Tilden, and an evidence that John Kelly's de fection really counts no longer as a factor in New York politics. The victory of yesterday only continues to deepen the convictioa that Tilden will be the nominee of the convention at Cincinnati. People who bate or fear Tilden can reckon confidently upon his being a candi&le who will stay through the fight. The same people who devised the 6tory that he would have a letter of declination read before the Syracuse convention will, in all probability, nay that ho will decline at Cincin nati, but no one at all experienced in politics now puts any faith iv that. Tilden is now regarded as A CANDIDATE AS MUCE AS GRANT, and with equally as good a chance for nomina tion. Among Democratic Senators opinions differ as to the effect of yesterday's proceed ings in Syracuse. A'l the Democratic Senators are opposed to Tilden. There is not one who believes he is a proper man to nominate for President. On the contrary, they all agree that he is per haps the. weakest man in the party. Some of them think that the manipulation of the party in New York is only the beginning of the plan to buy np and pack State conventions elsewhere, with a view of forcing his nomination. This opinion seems to prevail among Western Sen ators mostly. Senator Cockrell said tho Syra cuse convention showed that Tilden is a candi date, and that he will not scruple to use any means to win, and his steady working will put him ahead at Cincinnati. Mr. Beck remarked that TILDEN WAS DOINd ALL THE WORK; the opposition is idle, and the old man will in this way forco himself on the party. Mr. Ker nan said that Tilden "will not be a candidate for nomination; you may rest assured of that! and the party in New York will be united and harmonious long before the election." All the Democrats in the Senate, so far as expressions could be heard, were of the opinion that Tilden could not be elected over any Republican. Tho general effect of the Syracus- convention upon the Democrats in Congress is depressing. There was a hope that he would get out of the way, but they feel that that hope can not be cher ished now, and that Tilden will either force his nomination on the party or, if he is de feated for it, will work to BEAT THE NOMINEE. The general impression among Democratic politicians of the House is that Tilden gained a substantial victory in New York yesterday' and is master of the situation so far as the New York delegation to Cincinnati is concern ed. Th» fact that Abram S. Hewitt, who in 1876 was Tilden's friend, but who more recently has proclaimed against Tilden' a nomination, was not selected as a delegate at largo is cited as an evidence that the delegates chosen are all known Tilden men, and that Tilden arranged details to conciliate Hewitt by having him selected as one of the electors. A good many Democrats who a few days ago were ready to believe that Tilden was preparing to get out of the race now say that he is a candidate in the fullest sense »f the term, with chancel as favorable to his nomina tion as any of the rival aspirant*. THE SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS still insist that his nomination will break the solid South, but they do not seem to have the basis of a safe calculation as to how he is to be beaten. The Tilden men now claim that their candidate will have behind New York a majority of the Pennsylvania delegation, all of Kentucky and Georgia, and the bulk of all the delegations from the Northwest. Carious Nervous Disorder in a Convent School. Cincinnati, April 23.— The pupils of St. Uranlino convent at St. Martens, Brown oounty, Ohio, have been sent to their noraes two months in advance of the usual time on ac count of the appearance among them of a singu lar nervous disorder with an epidemic tendency.

VIRGINIA. REPUBLICANS. Staunton, Va., April 23.— 1 a the Republican convention after a long and heated discussion the motion to recommit the resolutions was lost by a decided viva v«ce vote, and at 1 a. m. a motion made by the straight oats to adjourn till to-morrow (to-day) was carried by a ma jority of four. to-day's session. Stauntojj, Va., April 23.— The convention reassembled this morning and skirmishing be gan. The question up is whether the conven tion shall nominate delegates to Chicago before deciding whether the nomination of an elec toral ticket shall be postponed or not. The straight oats ar3 evidently feeling more con fident. Stanton, Va., April 23.— The Republican convention at last reached a test vote and the result in a victory for the straight outs by a vote of 69 to 61. This vote was upon a resolu tion offered by J. S. Rives and also signed by £. W. Early, W. C. Wickham and Boss Hamil ton, the last two colored. The resolution was that the convention now proceed to nominate and elect' our fall electoral ticket. The first section of the resolution that no elector shall be placed upon the Republican electoral ticket who is not pledged to support the Republican nominee at Chicago was adopted unanimously. Over the last there was a bitter contest, and, it being the pendiDg question and the call insisted upon, a bolt seemed imminent. Dr. Norton, colored, one of the readjuster leaders, said his side was de barred from debate and they would now leave, and when they came together again they would welcome them with hot shot and shell. Norton and a number of his followers started oat of tbe hall, but personal friends on the other side gath ered around them and Gen. Wickham made an earnest appeal to them not to revolt, when they took their seats. Mussey, of King; Wil liam, a custom house officer, then gave notice they would not take part in voting for dele gates, and would call on the party to make a ticket about tbe 28th of July. There was almost a row in the convention to day growing oat of a dispute between Bines of Lynchburg, and Desendorf of New York city. The parties used violent laugnage, and seemed about to come together. The whole conven tion was in disorder, and it took tbe united ef forts of the city police, the officers of th» house, and the mayor of Stanton, to prevent a general fight. The parties, however, were afterwards reconciled, and shook bands. After tbe passage <>f the resolution referred to, the convention elected as elector* at large on tbe straight-out ticket, Gen. W. C. Wickham and Bey. J. M. Dawson. Dr. C. L. Norton was nominated, but declined, being still rebel lious. The delegates are now conferring pre paratory to nominating delegates to Chicago and the district electors, and a colored band is serenading the convention in compliment of the straight-out's victory. GEORGIA BLACKS. Atlanta, April 23. — The Republican conven tion was all the morning discussing the ap pointment of delegates to Chicago. It is evi dent Blame will get a majority of '.he delega tion with six or eight votes for Sherman. Grant may have two votes. The convention is noisy and excited. The convention passed resolutions condemn ing tbe tutrage on Cadet Whittaker, and call ing on tbe administration to f ally protect col ored cadets. Tbe selection of delegates to the Chicago convent ion was the occasion of much wrang ling and fierce debate. The Grant men ral lied and secured more strength on the delega tion than they hoped for yesterday. Four teen colored delegates were chosen. W. A. Pledger, colored, was pat at the head of tbe State central committee, and that committee was empowered to nominate electors at large. District electors and Congressmen will be nominated by district conventions. As to the delegation there are various opinions. The Grant men claim twelve but the general esti mate is eight for Blame, eight for Sherman and six for Grant. Various rumors are circulated about probable changes in tbe delegation, but the anti-Grant men are confident they have gained a decided victory. Resolutions that delegates go uninstructed and consult the best interests of the party passed.
