Wasiiimitox, May 20. The president
pro teni. laid la-fore "the m-natc resolutions
of the city of Cliicii!(o praying for the pan
nage of the Jiouse hill to place the name of
Gen. Jan. Shields upon the retired list of
the anny, with the rank of brigadier gener
al. Laid on the table.
Senator Thunnan, from the judiciary
committee, to w hich was recommitted the
house bill to provide for the admission to
the bur of the miprcme court of the United
States of any woman w ho has been a mem
ber of the bur in the highest court of any
state or territory for a period of three years,
reMited it back with the amendment of
Senator Sargent, providing that no person
shall be refused admission to the bur in any
United States court on account of sex. Sen
ator Thurniaii said he had been directed by
the committee to report as they had report
ed before. There was no law prohibiting a
court from admitting women to the bar,
and therefore there was no necessity for this
legislotion. At t some iliscussion the bill
was placed on the calendar, with the ad
verse report.
Bills wen- introduced and referred:
By Senator Christancy. by request To
reorganize a court of claims "and extend its
jurisdiction, taking all claims from before
congress ami the departments for adjudica
tion. By S.-nator Sargent To regulate immi
gration. Senator Cockrell moved to take up the
house bill to place the name of Gen. Jas,
Shields on the retired list of the army, with
th.- rank of brigadi-r-geiu-ral. but" after
some discussion he withdrew the motion
and gave notice that he would renew it
later in the day, after Senator MorriU,
chairman of the finance committee, sjioke
in opposition.
Senator Cockrcll's motion to take up the
bill authorizinir the president to phiLe the
name of (leu. Shields on the retired list of
the army, was agreed to: yeas, ;!:; nays, 20.
Senator Sargent said that now, as the
bill was before the senate, he hoped the
senator who stood sponsor for it would en
lighten tin- .senate as to any pii cedents for
the action proposed by this bill.
Senator Cockrell .aid he did not think it
w s necessary for l-'m to lay before the
senate the history of the cou'iny for the
past forty years. The g.-oitnd nii'which the
'inquisition rested was too well known, and
..( did not wish to occupy the time of the
- enati-unless there were objections to be
met.
Senate Sargent inquired why this man
was sought out above all others who had
served in i .vo wars. If there Were any
reasons for tl-'s being dom- the senator
would certainly give tlu-m to the senate.
There were no reasons, -uid he proposed an
amendment to this bill, which In' sent up.
The ainendinent w as tin n read. It proposes
to place the name of '. S. Grant on tin
retired list of the arniv with the full tiav
of a general of the nnnv.
Senator Cockrell asked if the consent of
that distinguished soldier ami sintesinan
had been obtained for this ainendnient.
Senator Sargent said it hid not. Had
the other one iisked for tin
petitioned congress for it;
Senator Cockrell said In-tin-
other did not.
I,
or had he
Heeded It
id
Senator Armstrong said that General
Shields had not asked for it. His friends
had asked it for him.
S 'iiator Sargent said they stood alike.
Neither had asked for it", lie did not
know it was to be given on application.
If so there would be a large increase of the
fourteen retired list. He supposed it was
as a reward for distinguished services, If
it applied in the case of Gen. Shields it did
more so in the case of (Jen. Grant. If it
was for illustrious services, (ten. Grant was
the' more entitled to it. If then- was any
thing more than appeared on the surface,
the ameiuliiicnt would be adopted, lie
wanted to test the feeling that prompted the
"ligi'ial proposition.
Senator ( (glt-sby puke in high terms of
(Jen. Shields and (.rant, but said there
were thousands whoh.id served as faithfully,
though not as clliciently. He would not
consent to lift up the ollicer niul trample
over the private soldier. He could not
bring hinisi'lf to believe that it was judici
ous legislation to bestow- th's favnr upon
either ollicer.
Senator Blaine could not concur in all
the senator had said. The proposition was
bel'ure the senate i"id thev had to vote for
or aga-'ist it. The question was whether
thev would tin for Gen, Grunt what congress
had done for Gen. Scott and had offered foi
Gen. Wtislr'igtol). Gen. Scott's serice
were not as great as thus - of Gen. Grant.
Would tiny senator say they wen-; It had
been asked i'' Gen. Grant had rcqucsti-il
this done. If would destroy tli graciniis
ness of the act if left till a request was pre
ferred. Let him go on a retired list I'mm
whence the people took him, mid from
whence, if they like, they will take hint
iigai'i. As an American senator he lu-licvcd
l,:s constituents, without distinction of par
ty, would approve his vote to plate (tell.
Grant on the retired list,
A vote was then taken on thciuiu-iultnent.
Agreed to,
The debate was continued at considerable
length, and at .) :2() p. in. the senate, with
out final action on the bill, adjourned.

crime and scandal their odiousness, by trick
ed out mid varnished reports of. as well as
iloubi.'ul comments upon the same;

It is rumored that Mr. Pierre I..iril;ir, 1
hh.s made an oiler to Mr. B. G. Thomas, of
Lexington. Kv to run his threc-vear-olil
colt Spartan against Iliniyar a dash of a
mile ami a halt at .Monmouth Park, on the
4th of July, for $l.ooo a side, and, if
Iliniyar wins. Mr. Lorilliird will pay fin,,
ooo for him. It is also understood that
Mr. Lorillard is willing to make the race u
sweepstakes, so as to let Mr, George I.oril
lard's Puke of Magenta start, but not until
Major Thomas consents. It is to be hoped
that the latter will consent to make the
match. The offer is certainly a liberal one,
ami if lliniyarcan beat Spartan, the Major
and bis friends can win a big stake. Such
a raee on the Fourth of July w ill attract a
crowd second only to that which witnessed
the Loiigfelliiw-IIarry Basset raee. Spartan
is a Brown colt, by Lexington out of Lula

Saratoga last year of a mile in 1:11 ; .
