In connection t itli the e-vlcnuon cf ciil

those rules as "an awful outiage," and
at "absolutely absurd and ttupld "
The chaplain, in hlb opening piayer, re
ftired to the devastating floods m the
Mississippi Vallrj, and piaved for Divine
inteiveiition and public assistance
The President" nie-vige, which, after
being icad Mooda. , was laid on the table,
Mas, on motion of Mr Morrill, tef erred to
the Finance Committee
the credentials of Mi John A Hender
son, appointed bj the j.ovemorof Flotilla
to fill the a acaucj In the Senate caused by
the expiration of the in in of Mr Call were
jireseu'cd and read, and Mr Pasco asked
that Mr. Henderson be sworn into office
Thh request as autngonired bj Sena
tors Allen, Chandler and Hoar, on the
pound that under the decision of the
Penac in the lee Mantle and other cases
such appointments In the goeinor were
not in compliance with the Constitution
An additional iwint or objection, noted
... 1 j Mr Hoar, was that (he appointment in
this case was made To continue 'until the
legislature should elect ' Ihe governor,
Mr Hoar argued, had no such !o er He
could onh appoint until the ntt meeting
or the legislature In fact, tin governor s
appointment ot Mr- Henderson might last,
not for kIv -curs oulv, but forever, if the
legislature did not ckct a Scnitor
All of those cases said Mr Hoir, were n
. the s imc footing, and theu ought to b a
well considered, caielul examination of
them It Mas very niucli more important
for the Senate to extract itself from the
mud into Miiic.li it h id got bv this action
In the Montana and Washington cases tnan

cucimihtancts the Senitot fro'ii Honda
Mould not insist upon having a long de-
bat eon the tmtter nnvr
Mr Pasco stated points In which the
present case diffeied from other onus
and argued in favor of the immediate
admission of Mr Henderson
Mr Allin moved tin icreience of the cre
dentials to the Committee- on Privileges
Mid Elections
Mr Gray said that the pending case in
Toled new and complicated questions
The act of Congress proIded Tor the elec

next jre ceding the expiration of the term
- The legislature of Florid i, which met two
3 ears ago, could not haie elected a Sen i
tor, inasmuch as a legislature was elected
last October or sov ember, but w hich
Mould not meet until next April He ar
gued, therefore, that the appointment bj
the governor of Florida was not subject to
the criticism made upon olhci Buch ap
pomlmcnts
Mr Hoar .iruert in favor of Mr Allen s
motionto refertlie matter to the Committee
on Privileges and Elections It was emi
neutlv a question proper to lie leicrrcd to
t. committee If it w ere to be decided off
li.u d b j a pai ty v ote it w as a matter that
might "return to plague the inventor"
OutNideortheobji'CtionsMhichlteliad noted
Mr Hoai believed that Mr Henderson was
, entitled to the f.ear. and he also thought
thatMr.Coi'tett.of Oregon, and Mr Wood, of
Kcutttckx, weie entitled to their seat.s.
He could see no distinction between the
Uuce cases But he thought that the
Committee on Privikgcs and Elections
ought to consider them, ought to 1 ear the
arguments for and against, and ought to
tit c sent to the Senate a dchl'ciate review
and statement of the whole question
Aftera Ion,; and dry dIscussionMr411en's
motion was agreed to, and the credentials

INTRODUCED IN THE HOUSE
The Appropriations That Failed
Last Month Presented.
TJue&uudij Civil Hill ot X.tkely to
Be Chanced Deficiency Items
in Danger.
There were introduced in the House on
Mondav nlnet public WIN and J88 prlv ate
In the former were appropriation bilN of
the last session winch failed for lack of
the President's signature and otherwise
These are the (lericienC v , agricultural, In
dian and sundrv civil Thev weie orrered
bv Mr Cannon, chairman of tlie pproprii
tions Committee in the late House
Other bills of interest in the District
werebv Mr. Bull, Toru staUehereof James
G Blaine, same .is orfere 1 bv him last ses
sion, bv Mr Sp-ague, to estttbllsh a class!
fication division for tli. I'atcnt Orfice, to

ords, rolls now in the possessionor the Gov
einnicntand such asmav be loaned orcon
tnbutcd bv States, bv Mr Gibson, to codlf ,
the pension laws
Mr. Bennett introduced a bill to ote,an
Uc a naval battalion In this District. It
is praetlcallj the same as introduced in
the Fift-fourth Congres
The introduction of the "stindr civil bill
exactl as it passed both houses at the
last Congress, and the ccrtalnt that it
will be so reported, removes a great de il
of doubt concerning the District amend
ments contained In the bill There Ik lit
tle question tint the bill will pass both
houses exactlv as before, notwithstanding
the large number of amendments which
vv ere added b the Senate and Hnallv re
tained in conference
The electric lighting cemti overs- "can
tbeierore be regarded as defmitcl set
tled. Although the provisions of the Dis
trict bill, which became a law, and the
sundry civil bill, which failed, were some
what different in detail the were alon
the same lines, and there will presumabl
toe no change In the status of the rivalcoin
panles as respectively established bv the
agreement leached a few davs before the
adjournment of the list Congress
The DNtijct items in the dcficlcnc bill,
which are familiar to the readets or Tlie
Times from Iiav ing been publlsl ed in full,
are perhaps in more danger of alteration,
because the House committee has struck
out a large number of the Senate amei d
nicnts to this bill lhc deficiency bill.it
will be lemembered, did not reach the
same stage as the sundrj civil bill It
wasn't aurced to and failed m conference
instead of bem,! pocketed b the Piesident
This bill, thciefore, sPcn)S iikeij to be
subject to main, and peril ips cvteisive,
amendments, and tin Dictiict items whicli
it carries nia be greatl imperilled in
the House, and in confeicnce, because the
Senate is likel to maintain its position
upon tlie amendments Mhich itadded and
insisted upon in the last dajs of the old
Congress
