T"FORTY.SIrXTIH CONRESS. -'I'a SgNATE. -- The Republican Part , so long in dominant power, now that they are in the minority, dt ard, ami howl at their depart lqg ower and the exclusive control o a the offices. The following in. t&i ing and lively debate in the Sekate is to the point: .i? Anthony said that nothing he cotll do wonld prevent the fotegone co:clusion of the majority to make a s-weeping change of officers, not be camid it was demanded by duty, but blw, .se .partisanship demanded it. As one whlo held il respect if not rever enaca4he precedents and usages of the HSelle, ho desiled to enter his protest a.·itt the pei'sonual inconvenience to wlriet hay would all be aubject and t!le. dlirur.tIance of the order of the I,ifaJ sa i f the Senate which would o,-ef, iy in tabrupt chlunge of offieers.

"hl,e.- , had gentl.mrIen abunlhnitlyv qualnlfied to till thi.-in. Canklig ni tt;i-r-d his regrets at the fa;rct that aliters of the Senate were to le dihsplaced. IMr B;yard was imlpressed with thie speech of Senator Aithony, as itecn.taimnedi matters of historie inter estl. "I regarde.d as dangerous and degrading thie rewarding ofpartisans with government places. It had en tered tihe civil service of the country and unless it should he in a great de grpe modified it would increase to thIe detriment of good government. The Iestowal of ollee sihould be in consuld eration of time welfare of the country dignity of the government and purity of our institutions. The power of ap pointment to offices in this body ihadl fallen to his party; he did not under stand that it contemplated any such elanghter of innocents as was contem plated by the opposite side. Observa tion had shown that instead of Fede ral offices having been bestowed for the good of the country with capable and honest inaumbents, they had been used for many years for the benefit of a single party. Those here who now complained never aglected to fill ofli oes with their party friends. The debate was farther participated in by Senators Beck, Blatne; Hill and others, and at a late hour the Senate proceeded to vote and elected the of1. emrs recently nominated by the Demo cratic caucus. During the debate on the motion to proceed to the election of officers a discussion arose on Mr. Gorham's (the Seeretary of the Senate) responsibility for a circular issued in May, 1878, by the National Repuiblican Executive Committee, and signed by him as Sec retary of that committee, This circu lar called for contribations towards defraying party expenses in the then approaching campaign; referred to the fset that the Senate ot 1879 would be Democrasi, and alleged that one of the avowed purposes of the Democratle party was the revolutionary expulsion of the President ftom his ofiee. The debate was spirited and consid erable foeeling wasslhown on both sides. Mr. Eatob of Connectent, while firmly believing that Mr. Hayes was not entitled to his seat, denounced the imputation on the Democraey of revo lutionary designs as utterly false. Mr. Blaine said the Potter Commit tee was organized in the hope of find ing some evidence on which to base a proceeding to oust the President, and only because ot its failure to find sunch facts was the design abandoned. Mr. Walhace pointed to the resola tloo adopted by the Democratie con -entlon In Pennsylvania, a few days after the issuance of the circular in qaestitn--that any attack on the title of the President was unwise and im politic, and said that while some agi tation undoubtedly existed among the Democrats at that time no authorized Utterauces could be found to justify lug the imputation of revolutionary designs. Mr. Voorhies justified the proposed change in oficers on the ground that the employees of the Sen ate ought to be in sympathy with the majority of the body who were res pensible to the country for the man agenient of its affairs. Mr. Beck said he wonld not vote $i003 a year into the pocket of the Secretary of the Re publican National Committee, to be used in furthering his own personal and partly political end. Mr. H1yard thought a Imnrely mitnisterial oflicer shoiuld als'tfain froml thie exercise of partisan iinlinence and not seek to emn ulate the political lpower of election otficers directly respl:nsible to the peo pile for the carry lng out of the views of thoir consiternlts Mr. Hill, of Georgia, replying to Mr. Blaire's charger of badl faith " on the' part of the I)tllocralts, iin not acceplti ing as final the decision of the eiec.oral corn mission, said tl:re iwas an issue of fact raised here between Senitors who had spoken, and a very material one, af fecting not alone the Democratic plr ty but the character of our instilt tions. It was impl)ortant that the real truth be stated upon the question. The charge of a revolutionary Iuilpose made against the I)elIIocracy by the circular whilch hail been read waasl dentlouncel by the Selnator fromi Co;l necticut (Eaton) as falso; whereuipcn the Senator froi Maine (Blaine) came to tihe iescue of the documenet, and charged that there was such revolu tionary intent, and to sustain his gen eral charge he specifies the Potter res olution as having that ulterior mean ing. Mr. Hill claimed that the Senator from Maine was as incorrect in his statement as was the Secretary of the Senate in his, and that he could pro duce no fact to bear out his charge. No portion of the Democratic party ever intended under any contingency a revolutionary movement for the ex pulsion of the President. When the electoral commission bill was passed it contained a provision as follows: Section 6. That nothing in this act shall be held to impair or effect any right now existing under the Consti tution and laws to question by pro ceedings in the judicial courts of the United States the right of the person who shall be declared elected or who shall claim to be President or Vice President if any such right exists. This is a provision of the act of Conu gress establishing the electoral com mission. It was embodied there in view of the apprehension that the commission would, as they in fact did, refuse to look into and investigate the alleged frauds in Louisiana and Flori da, and that the result of their labor would be the declaration of one of the claimants as President without an ex amination in to the testimony regarding the merits of the case. It was adopt ed that the doors might be left open in such a case to a proper judicial inves tigation which should bring out the facts. That there was grour.d for the belief that the courts of the country would have jurisdiction is manifest from the fact that learned gentlemen and distinguished statesmen on both sides of both chambers incorporated a provision in the electoral commission bill reserving all right to reopen thbis question and have it investigated be fore the judicial tribunals. Some of the most able lawyers believe that by proper proceedinff the Supreme Court can get jurisdiction to investigate this question. It was on that principle that the Legislature of Maryland passed a memorial to Congress de manding that proceedings of this na ture should be iuaugurated. Some of tile most distinguished Republican lawyers of the couctry held that it wonhl be perfectly proper ini a conmpe tent 'proceeding for the Supreme Court to reopen and determine this cass upon its merits. Every gentlemran of dis (.Ir. hill's) acquaintance, every prom iielnt D)emocrlat of the United S;n ites who desires to investigate this ques tion at all, desires to do so in tlihe ellurts alid uniler the elicouragelnent andi aitlhority of the electoral laiw. Was this revolutionary I Whether I ha;t pr(oc(eding before the court shim)Id ce i; ugi rated or not would depend on the reliable evidence that should be obt:ained in thie case. Therefore all sections of the Demo cratic party were willing to have an il-ve-;ig;ation to obtain the real facts. 'Thelre were Republicanls as well as Demnocrats in the country who, if facts should thoroughly establish the ille gality of the Presidency, and if it shoiutl appear that tile Supreme Court have aiuthlority to investigate the sub ject, wore in favor ofsuch investigation. Mr. Hill denied that the Democratic party had ever announced a revolu tionnary puIrpose, looking to the expul sion of tihe President. He said, in conclusion, the Senator fromi New York had informed this body that wlhen he came here these seats were occunpied by Southern Senators. I think we have heard this before. He also informed us that these seaits are now filled by Southern men. I think we'know that already. We return to them, and like revolution, thus ends where thd departure began. After some passages between Messrs. Blaine and Hill, Mr. Wallace offered a resolut'on declaring John C. Burch elected Secretary of the Senate. Mr. Conkling moved to substitute the name of George C. Gotham. This amendment was rejected by 27 to 38, a strict party vote. -Prince Leopold, the youngest of her Majesty's sons, has been distin guishing himself as an orator,and win ning golden opinions from thie severest critics, His subject was education, on which, says the London Spectator, it is extremely dificult to speak with any verce or vivacity. "His panegyric," contines that paper, "on Professor Ruskin, and especially on his teaching, 'that the greatness of a nation must be measured, not by her wealth, or her apparent power, but by the degree in which all her people have learned to gather from the world of books of art, of nature, a pare and an enooblingjoy; his fine and true remark that in pro viding teabchers who are so far wasted that they know a great deal more than they will for a long time to come, have any chance of teaching, we shall yet be great gainers, because "what they do teach will be better taught for the re serve of knowledge behind-the meth ods will besounder, the personal influ ence of the lecturer, will be more stim ulating to his class," and lastly, hisad mirable appreciation both of the difli calty of getting up local enthusiasm in so huge a capital as London, and never theless of the power and pride inher eat in the Londoner's sense that he is the citizen'of no mean city'-all showed Prince Leopold to be capable of gen nine efforts of oratory, such as would place him high even among the public speakers of the dayn. -"Do you reside in this city 1" asked a masked man of a masked lady at a masquerade party the other eve oing.

It is truly sad to behold the grief of her brother and sisters, who were so fondly attached to each other, having been orphans for many years. God only can grantthem fortitude and christian virtue to stand this shock. May He protect them and her heart broken husband. She was a lovely woman, though her virtues were known only to her intimate friends, and she possessed those remarkable traits so cheerfully accorded to her mother by those who knew and well remembered her. To Him,'who is above us and doeth all things well, is it given to understand His ways, but to those who are left behind, it is try ing to accept this blow. May God protect them.

This Sarsaparillais a combination of vegetable alteratives-Stillingia, Man drake, Yellow Dock--with the Iodides of Potassium and Iron, and is the most eflicacious medicine yet known for the diseases it is intended to cure, Its ingredients are so skilfully com bined, that the full alterative effect of each is assured, and while it is so mild as to be harmless even to children, it is still so effectual as to purge out from the system those impurities and corruptions which develop into loathsome disease. The reputation it enjoys is derived from its cures, and the confidence which prominent physicians all over the coun try repose in it, prove their experience of its usefulness. Certificates attesting its virtues have accumulated, and are constantly being received, and as nAany of these cases are publicly known, they furnish convincing evidence of the superiority of this Sar saparilla over every other alterative medicine. So generally is its superli ority to any other medicine known, that we need do no more than to assure the public that the best qualities it has ever possessed are strictly maintained.
