Notice was siren tbat the Senate worn be aiked this morning, to eonalder the resolutions in relation to tin death or the late Bpeaxor Kerr. Mr. barobvt submitted a resoittion providing for the election of a President pro tern, of the Senate, and It was laid on the table, subject to be called np for action at any time. This election 1 render! necessary, because tr. rannx a present Senatorial term expires with the 4th ef March, and uis necessary that pome senator wnenoias ever should be elected. House of Representatives. With a willing toot In the Speaker's chair to aid them, It was not a very dlffleult matter for the tibustering conspirators in tne uouse toueiey the further count of the Electoral vote for several hour. If It should happen that by the 1th of March no one la declared elected President, and the country should be plunged Into anarchy and confusion, the Philadelphia domaroguewho dis graces thechairofCtey, and roiK, en urr,ana Blaine, will ne responsible tor it, wo man knows better than he. that the better men of his own party want to accept the'sttuation In good iniin, ana are opposed to me pouey oi aeiay tnai wae Inaugurated shortly after the decision In the Florida case, lint he Is an unscrupulous liUbue- terer himself, and he Is prepared to torture and twist the rules into any snapeto carry out nisown and his co-conspirators' purpose. If he were a fair politician! If he had the first Idea or States. unship, he could lastly settle the difficulties iaalcawoaJonmiUy,Uatia Uaeonaiefthe Electoral vote, lie could, If he would, aid In the settlement of the vexed questions, and reach a result right speedily! and not Jeopardise the In. terests of the country by delay. But he chooses te no otherwise. When the House met it 10 o'clock yesterday the Republicans members expressed a desire to pro. ceed with the discussion ofthe questions involved la the objection to Mr. Hoggs as an Elector for the State or Pennsylvania. There were be. tween fifty and sixty members present, a larger number than has often been present when the moat Important legislation has been trans. s cted. All that It was proposed to do was to dls cuss the question and get the member from Herts with that waping tone wnicn nas made him te be known as Cltmkk the Lachry mose, objected that there was not a neram present. The Sfiakkr has ruled at least a score of times this session that it wae not his business to know officially that there wsinot a quorum present until some vote do. veiopea mat not. nut, anxious to serve nts friends, the nlllbusters.be assisted Clymir to get a call of the House so that time might be con rented In aroll-oall. Having snoceededla wasting Much time In the call, Mr. O'Brix, of Maryland, and Mr. Walliso, of Ohio, took the leadership oat of the hands of the lachrymose and caused a farther delay by demanding divisions on motions to dispense with further proceedings under the call. Having gone as far as they could they could not help allowing tho regular business to come up, and the resolutions were offered In relation to Mr. Hoggs. And then St a so an, or Pennsyl. vaala, demanded tho reading of the objections, and alsoofthe testimony taken In the case, as a further means of consuming time. The Electoral bill Is explicit en the point that after the two Houses separate on a question, the only thing in order Js.the two hours' discussion provided for by the bill Itseir. Mr. Hamuli, knew this as well as any one, and therefore, notwithstanding all Ms impudence and assnrance, he did not dare to rule tbat the evidence be read, but be cowardly evaded the responsibility, and said he would let the House determine whether It should be read r not. Oeneral Masks, Mr. McCrart, Judge KsxLLTand other gentlemen protested, but It was all of no avail. Kaioall pushed ahead and put the question. The House, on a division, voted that the testimony should he read. Nut satisfied with the announcement oftbl result, the filibus ters demanded the yeas and nays. They wanted to consume an tne time tney could. The motion that the testimony bo read was carried on this call by a voto of lilyeas to 118 nays. Among tne latter were 13 Democrats, who would not be cajoled or driven to the support of the, filibusters. They were Ooousi, ofKau.j IUscock, of TexastHATMovn, oflnJ.iMonoAX. or Mo.; Pnntrs, or Conn.t Rcagav, of Texas rtTEYETSOT, ol 111.) Taibox, of Mais, i Throck MoaroN,orTexas warp, or n.y.i wniTCHorsK, or N.Y.i William, or Del., and Wilhirk, if Arkansas. These gentlemen dessrre the most bouorable mention b ecause they have steadily refuted to be lashed into the iollcy of delay, no matter how loudly the iisrty whip was cracked. The roll-calls and the reading of the testimony consumed the time un til within a few minutes or twelve o'clock, when the two hours' discussion commenced. Hut there wainfurtherlnterruptlonof twenty minutes by Kasdall'0 needlessly ruling that a new leglsla tire day bad commenced, and that prayers must I ottered and the Journal of Saturday must be read. The Episcopal praterbook Is a grand work. The prayers are sublime, and are fitted to meet ercry occasion and emergency of life, but we would suggest to Chaplain TinYxsisothat It would do a good tning to leave the beaten track of dally prayer Tor Congress, Just for once, and Interject Just one little, fervent, extempore petition that the Almighty would Klve Saw. jiakdall a smau quantity no manor now i malt of grace, Justice, fairness and truth as a presiding o truer. Well, at last the debate went on. Mr. Kcllkt contented himself with showing how trivial was the objection to Hoggs. Mr. Scaim, or North Carolina, Indulged at petty flings at soma or the Kfntlemenor tho llepubllcan side who went to Niw Orleans lowliness the count. He was more rolled by the dirt be handled than were those at nhein he threw It. Joxice, of Kentucky, who had nut courage enough to take up arms In Uor of noutnern treason, duiwuo committed treason enough to warrant his Incarceration in lort Warren, wanted some Democratic member ofthe Tribunal to immortalise binnelf by re signing. Tllden's lieutenant, 1 Invar, re. turned to tne atrncic on Mr. Jloan. and i.eustd him again of bad faith, but when Moan gave him a dressing subsequently, Hewitt mined mat ne nau kepi uis mourn snut. Mr. Haw iit advised his Democratic friends not wurnlsh the record ofthe Democratic party by retlttlng or opposing the rerdisb of the Tribunal, no matter how unjust it was. What a suggestion tbat was! The Idea or tarnishing tne record of the Democratic party I Some of his party friends .lid nut relish the Idea or yielding. While he wae rpeaklpg they gathered aiuut the area In truutoitneuierx sueia.ana ur, uite,oi wis. mnals.iald that It woullbo cowardice to yield, This remark seemed to inspire Mr. Yeth, of North Carolina, who said t net tne Democracy would norer, no, never! no, never yield I Mr. V it atxh yelled and grew red In tho face, created m little evcltement and Mien subsided. Mr. Toivxpemi, of New York, who gH oft roine exoellenl hits in the Home, threw several khans of ridicule, which bad a telling effect. The Jtepubltcani enjoyed the hits, while the Demo rrats illy lonccaled their rage. Mr. I'orrLt.Ton fitndly advertised the IlxrL'iti ii an by mention rtg Die-fact Utat he lound Uor, Hayes speech at Wcmcnt, Ohio, In yesterday's lnu, and sent It up to the Clerk's deik and had It tea J l?ut all things have an end, and so did this dUcuitton. The Houe then voted that Mr. Iloggt' vote ought not to be counted. Fifteen Democrats, however, had the manliness to vote, with tho Republicans, that It ought tobe counted. The Joint Convention then reassembled, and as the two Hou;es had not agreed" to Mr. Boggt, 70 more votes were recorded for Hayes and Wheeler. Hut the Joint Convention was or short duration, Tor Rhode Island was the next State reached, and thatdlitlngulahed Maryland state man, Mr. William J, O'Hmrv, compelled an other separation by filing the most senseless ob jection to one of the hlectors that has yet been filed. Mr. O'Umis hlmseH announced after wards that he had no hope tbat the objection would be sustained. It was ntthlns; more nor less than another attempt to gain time. At soon as the two Houses separated, a motion was made for a recess until 10 o'clock to-day, but the objection In thin case was so extremely abeird, that the filibusters eould muster only 83 votes. Ofthe Hi in the negative, It were Democrats, The objection In this case, however, gave Mr. Uarr, or Indiana, an opportunity to fire oft a 'witty speech at the Democratic side. Mr.CAim was one of the Democrats who opposed the Electoral bill from the beginning, and he prophesied then that the re suit would be disastrous to the party. He can therefore consistently fling stones at hii Democratlo brethren, and he ridiculed them s unmerc(fully yesterday that he gotthemlntea perfect rage. He compared the whole thing to a farce, and portrayed some ofthe Democratlo ac tions la the most ludicrous manner. The gavel fell before he had concluded. The Republican, who had enjoyed the sport hugely, called out to him to go on, but the Democrats, sullen and soured. Insisted upon the enforcement of the rule which limited spceehes to ten minutes. When the vote was taken the House, without a division, refused to sustain the objection. This Is the first case tbat has arisen In which the two Houses have acted concurrently. The Joint Con ventlon again convened, and four more votes were recorded for Hayes and Wheeler. The dual certificates from the state or South Carolina were then read! the objections were filed; the papers were turned over to the Eleo toral Tribunal, and at 23 minutes or? the House took a recess till this morning. 1 be programme as outlined Tor to-day Is to at tempt to pass Mr. Field's bill providing for a new election, add declaring that the Preldent prattmot the Senate shall be the Pretldent of the United States daring the interval. Whether the bill passes or not etery nerve will now be strained to defeat the count. If the filibusters can secure the reading of the testimony In the South Carolina case (and why not after the ac tion of yesterday as to the testimony In Mr Dookv'r case) the reading of that alone will or. cupytwo or three days. If they get the South Carolina decision on Wednesday, and the testi mony should be read, time will" certainly bacon, lamed until Irlday. Hut If trouble comes the people will hold these conspirators to a fearful responsibility, THE hhilVIOttAI. LOMMISSIOS'.

Amsjorityofthc Committee on theFrlvileea Powers, and Duties of the House have agreed to report a bill to provide for temporarily Hilling any vacancy occurring In the office of President In the event of there being no Constitutional declara tion or the election before the commencement of the regular term. The bill In Its main features provides tbat If the Senate are in session at the commencement of the new terra the presiding ufnecrof the Senate at that time shall act as President of tho Vnited states, until a Tresis dent shall hae been elected and qualified In accordance with the Constitution and existing law. Hut If the Senate be not then In session, the presiding officer last elected by tbat body shall become President of the United States to serve until the vacancy shall be regularly filled, provided that such lost pre sldlar officer shall not have ceased to be a mem. ber or the Senate on the 4th or March, and pro vided also that he be possessed of Constitutional qualifications as to age and nativity. The bill also provides that in the possible con tlngency of there being no such presiding or ox. I residing officer of the Senate the Speaker of the louse shall net as President, The bill does not Propose to change the provisions of the act of Mrf. In regard to the lime for holding the new election. It therefore looks to anew Presidential election next November, and In the event of any temporary occupant being Installed In tho lreeidentlal chair next week, he would be en titled to continue in office, under the provisions above referred to, until the 4th or March, IsTh.

Many are Named Hut Only Seven will be Cluneo rreperatlone Tor the Reception and Inau guration ol the Next rreeident. Of course all Cabinet talk Is mere specula Hon, for Governor Hayes has made no pledges, and 11 he has Indicated to any one whom he will chooso as his advisers. It has not been found out. Hut people will talk, and gossip Is as Interesting as fact sometimes. The State Department li con. ceded by some to Mr. Everts. He li undentood to want It, and although his friends have taken no pains to prets his appointment upon Governor Hayes, everybody seems to agree that he has earned It by his marterly conduct or the case before the Commission, and Is entitled to It by virtue of his great ability and prominence. Hut several other persons are mentioned. Senator Mierman Is understood to have the Treasury Department In his eye, and as "the urlglnal,Hayet man" he Is supposed tobe entitled to hare something to eay about the framing or the Cabinet. No man Is better fitted for the place, by reason of bis ability and experience In finance, being the acknowledged leader ol Congress In that branch of political economy. The only objection raised against his appointment Is the fact that Ohio would fill the four greatest offices In the gift of the Govern roent President, Chief Justice, General ofthe Army, and Secretary or the Treasury. Governor Morgan, of New York, Is also a candidate for the place, and John M. Forbes, a wealthy capitalist of Iloston, Is spoken of In the same connection. Man would like to see Secretary Morrill retaio the pl.ice, but his physicians fear that If he should recover from his present dangerous Illness hi health will not permit him to continue to perform the arduous duties of the Treasury. Hale,ol Maine, It is conceled, will bare the Naval Office, lllalne and Chandler both have strong clalmi on the new Administration, and have no need to remind Governor Hayes that Hale's appointment would be satisfactory to them. He one declined the Poft maiterUeneratthti before Jewell was ap pointed, but will not decline the Navy De partment, while, as he sa he has no detlre to seek It. The Pacific coast Ilepubllcana want something la the Cabinet, and would recommend Senator Sargent for the Navy Department If he would give the word, bnt be dees not want to leave his seat In the Senate.. . General Logan standi the best chance for ap pointment as Seoretary of War. Republicans here feel that his sacrifice maue Hayes President, Tor tr Logan had been reelected Tllden would certainly hare gone mto Die White Home by Jutige Davis's vote. Tnere are no otner candi date for the place, although the Pennsylvania people would like to see Mcretary Cameron re tained, and Incase that could not be arranged would urge Governor Harlianlt. Judge McCrary, of Iowa, will be made Attorney-General If Governor Hayes atcedes to the solicitations of nine-tenths of the Republicans la Washington. Stoughton, Stanley Matthews, and others are mentioned, but they are objected to on several grounds, whllo no one offers any ob Jeetlonsto McCrary. Since Harlan wat Secre tary ofthe Interior, Iowa has not been repre sented In the Cabinet, Many Republicans think that the Interior De partment should goto a Southern man, and Al corn, of Mississippi, who represents the native Southern Republican element. Is being prested with great urgency. Hancock.ofTexas, who re resents the Union element of Democracy, will b appointed If any Democrat goes Into the Cabinet The Southern Democrats who hare blocked the wheels of the filibusters would be please! with Hancock'! appointment. SenatorMorton wants General Tyner retained In the Postofflce Department, and Governor Hayes, It Is said, will be Inclined to oblige htm. Morton has held up the hands of the Republican party In this crisis, and has as strong a claim on the new Administration as any one. Piatt, of New Yorkj Kauon, or Iowa; and McCormkk, or Nevada, are also candi dates, and Georges. Hangs hat been spoken or. Kasson getino support from his own State, as every member of the present Iowa delegation has long ago recommended McCrary for the Department of Justice, and could not ask for two Cabinet places. There are many other gentlemen mentioned fn conneetlon with the Cabinet than the above, but from the present outlook the probability seems In favor of those named. The Cabinet, (f these ap pointments are made, will be as follows: Secretary of State Hvarts, of New York. Secretary or the Treasury Sherman, ol Ohio. Secretary of the Navy Hale, of Maine. Secretary or War Logan, of Illinois. Secretary of the Interior Alcorn, of Missis sippi. Postmaster-General Tyner. or Indiana. Attorney -General McCrary, of Ohio. for the other prominent appointments there are many candidates, & tough ton and MorganofNew Yorkf Rice, or Mattachutetts, and Governor Noyes, or Ohio, are mentioned In conneoUoawIth the English Minion. Colonel Hob Incersoll. (tie said, maybe Minister to Prance If hechoose--, and he deserves something worth having. The Russian and German mittlona bare attractions no doubt for many people, as have other responsible posts abroad) but, as yet, no persons have been proml nently mentioned In connection with them. Many people think that Governor Hayes will make few changes In the Diplomatic Corps, and all agree that whatever changes are made will lw gradual. ru.iiti ii:i:s: sun hi:, in r iii:aic Til KM!

Tbe opera rendered on the occa sion was Meyerbeer's "Starof the North,"a work which has not, and probably never will, attain very great popularity. The leading role was performed by Mlsa Clara Louise Kellogg, and she sang delightfully throughout, fully sustain. Ing her well established reputation. Miss Julie Kosewald did not impress ne very favorably, al though she Is not entirely, bereft or merit. Her voice lacks purity, sympathy and sweet. nesi, and Is at times unpleasantly harsh and un even. Hut tbe lady deserves credit for the care ful and conscientious eflorts that she made. Miss Segutn's part was entirely too Insignifi cant to call for criticism. In Miss Lancaster we made the acquaintance ol a very pretty young lady with a fresh and awett sopra no voice, which she used with rare kill and good judgment, and warrants us In expecting great things from her later on. Mr. Uonly dh tded the mani honors or the evening wltuMlss Kellogg, and fairly merited the haltering plaudits that grerted his efforts In the gems of the opera. Mr. Maas was entirely too tame, and his voice, al. though very aweet, lacked strength and volume Mr.Peakes discharged his buffo roiaU factor! ly. Tbe orchestra, undsr the direction of Mr. Dran , was excellent, and contributed In so mean measure to the succs-j ofthe entertainment. Tbe scenery and appointments were first, class. We cannot close this brier crltlclim or the perfoi mance without bearing testimony to the fact that the parties In one ofthe prhate boxes, who were aolndefattg. able In their efforts to attract attention, sue ceeded mo it admirably In concentrating upon themselves the notice of the entire audience.

A History of III rallitro A statement of 111 Liabilities and Act-Ule Social Standing. Chicago, Feb. 20- The failure and defalca tion of Postmaster John McArthur Is tbe subject of much comment and universal regret. Mr. McArthur held a high business and social stand ing in tbe community, and baa hitherto been con sidered one of the stancbast and most reliable of Chicago cltliens. He first became Involved to the amount or about 440,000 by tneTallure or the Cook County National Dank, abouttwoyears ago, though the Uovtrnment assumed hair the re sponsibility, which amount 11 was supposed would be covered by aweta or the bank. Mr. McArthur has never been able to replace tbe sum; besides this he became Involved In the unsuccessful oper. atlons of his largo Iron foundry on the North Side, and took money from the postofflce to tide mat ters over until a loan could be negotiated from Scotch capllali'tf. He expected also to be enabled to dispose favorably of tome portion or his foundry, but In all his schemes for replacing t he money, he was unsuccessful, and consequently filed bla petition In bankruptcy last Saturday afternoon. The matter waa kept a profound se cret until yesterday evening. This petition shows total liabilities of about tief.ouo, and as sets ef ewo.ooo. Of the debt, M,WK) are due to the United States Government, and i,M0tothe Illinois Soldiers1 Home, of which he waa treasu rer. The secured debts are $13,030. The assets consist chiefly or tbe Iron foundry prtqrty. It Is believed that the Government will lose noth leg, being amply secured by tbe bond. fiOt HAlXMAMt THESOVTII.
