was something ofa scene in the Senate to
day when the Clerk took up * communi
cation from the President and began to
read:
"To the President ProUmporc oj the Senate:
"I have received a resolution of the Seuate
dated Februury 24, 1880, adopted by the
Senate in executive aeaaion."
At this point something aeenied to have
burnt Cleric Uilfry'?inoutb,(or with a quick
iubalation of breath he stopped abort,
folded up the paper aud handed it to the
['resident prolempore, who announced
that the communication would be with
held for exeoutlve suasion.
The incident created for the moment a
bun of euppressedexcitumeutin the cham
ber followed by deep silence.
Mr. Piatt was the Hist to recover his
voice. Ha inquired of the eliair whether
he communication was marked "Execu
tive." President pro tempore Sherman le
lilied 11 waa not. Mr. Piatt submitted
that in that case it waa for the open Bas
tion of the Senate. The President pro
tempore said he felt bound to submit the
motion to the Senate in executive session.
After another pause Mr. Cockrell iu
luired what had become of the letter of
lie Secretary of the Treasury. The Pres
ident pro tempore replied that on cxuin
natioii the letter was found to be an ex
scutive document. It not having been so
narked the chair waa not to blame.

Mr. BtaUbury'ii Dcfotua,
Mr. Saulsbury said: "When the Presl

enlion of the people that he ahould ad
just tho o/Bces at least more nearly be

?ss a very ?small percentage. Such man.
uanlmity bad never been exorcised
'or the last lllty years. Vet Presi

illowed to slumber for now three months
without action. Why? Because tho Jfa

sire to proteot ltepnulioan ofllcials.
II that were true was It not
itrange the President's nominations bad
10 long been allowed to remain unacted
on. Was It not etrangelhat Republican
Senators wore now making claims for a
class of pspera never claimed before.
Waa It not strange they were claiming a
right to eupervlee the removals of the
President and that they were claiming to
be entitled to lae even private papers In
pursuit of their object.
Mr.-Naulebtiry characterised tho report
of the majority of- the Jtullolary Commit
tee as a most dlsinienlouf, unfair and un
just presentation of the controversy as tho
inoat unjust and unfair that had ever
emanated from a committee of a deliber
ative body. The real controversy waa
that the President would not per
mit private papers to be sent to
(be Senate. The Hepubilcans had
converted themselves into an obstructive
party, hindering tlio due exercise ot ox
ecutlvo power. Those who looked Im
partially on the position now occupied by
the Senate and complied ft with the
Senate of other days, must bow their
bends in shame.
Mr. Colquitt obtained the floor and the

Jachne has confessed that bo received
$20,000 for bis vote In favor of Sharp's
Broadway railway franchise, and is under
$15,000 hail. The arrest created a sensa
tion, but this feeling gave way to one of
astonishment wbon it became known,
later on, that Jachne's confidence had
been played .upon by Inspector Bjrutu,
aud that he bad furnished that wily officer
of the law complete details of the corrup
tion in the Broadway Railroad franchise
matter, not only so far as he himself was
concerned, but also as to the other mens
hereof the Board of Aldurmen who sold
themselves.
Inspector Byrnes told his story of the
steps that led up to the arrest after
thu Alderman had been commit
ted. It waa a most extraordinary
atory, though much more wai left unsiid
than was told by the Chief of Detectives,
luspector Byrnes possesses the raru gift
of being sblo to norm himself Into peo
ple's conlldonce, and of making them talk
to a very useful degree. Jachne was no
exception. In the course of ten months'
intimacy with the Inspector, whom he
knew ail the time as the Ubisf of the De
tective ton e, ho unbosomed himself by
degrees, and finally told him unreserved
ly, in confidence, of course, all about the
hit steal. Wben nothing more remained
to be told, Inspector llyrnes dropped the
mask of a confidential friend,and assuming
the character of the official, had the Alder
man locked up, having previously seen to
it that the Alderman's "confidence" hsu
unseen witnesses who could make oath
to what he hid said.
INSI'ECTOH HYMNKM STORY.
Huwnud Why he Wurkuu ud .Jnehue-Why
Uoukllog Couldn't Make It.
New Youk, March 10.?The sensation
of the day Is the arrest of Alderman
Jaehno. All sorts of rumors are atlont os
to who will be tho next Alderman gath
ered in. Police Inspector Byrno said;
"I first met Alderuian Jachne about a
year and a half ago, but 1 did not learn
until sometime afterward that he was the
Jaehne concerning whom I had had occa
sion to make inquiries, because of reports
that he was acting as a 'fence.' When I
did find that oat I know that, like all dis
honest men, he would'niaeal'lfapproached
properly. Within tho put two weeks he
lias confessed to me on four dlderent oc
casions that he waa bribed to vote for the
liroadway road, and also for other
railroad schemes, lie confessed this
in the presence of witnesses. How
I induced him to do this, matteis not. In
dealing with thieves the police have to
use means and methods which might nol
be proper in other Hues of business. In
confessing that be bad been bribed, Joeline
thought he had the beat of it, and that he
was not getting himself into any trouble,
lie must think differently now. and by
this timo he upprcciates tho trap 1 leu biro
into, lie will be convicted beyond a doubt,
as tho uvidenco against him Is perfect and
conclusive in every respect, lie did not
confess to me through love, but through
fear, and, as I expected, he proved hiinsell
i coward. I am not at liberty to stale
what other names he mentioned, or what
othera he implicated. He bad no nego
tiations whatever with Jacob Sharp, per
sonally, and knew nothing of him..,
CONKLIKO'8 FAILURE.
"Why did Mr. Conkllng not succeed In
drawing out a confession from Jaehne on
the witness atanil? Because he did not
know how to deal with crooked men. lie
wasted several hours in questioning
Jaehne about racing bets and poker games,
<tll o( which had nothing to do with the
matter. J sat In court, llstoned to the ex
amination, and heard Jaehne prelure
himself, knowing tho truth all the time,
ai Jaehno had already confessed to me.
We did not arrest Jaehne sooner because
that would have interfered with curtain
work I bad on band; besides, wo hold him
in our hands, and could close the grasp
on blm at any time. lie can bring no
posliiye proof to convict any other Alder
men. I have had nq oilers of positive
evidence against other Aldermen, but we
move slowly In this matter, and wait until
tho proofs are complete."
hot "at no.Mii."
Notwithetaniflnc the statement of In
spector Byrne, in regard to Jaehne's hav
ing "squealed," friends of that alderman
are going around with huge rolls of money
offering to bet any amouut that ho has
not. Jacob Sharp's servant girl sat be
tilnd the parlor window all last evening,
'he showed no signs of life or interest ex
cept when she sallle|I fort)) to collar a

not at home either.

Nsw Yon*, March II).?Police Inspector
Byrnes was aeen at his office this morning
preparing to go out, when reporter asked
him If bo was going to drag his net for
more aldermen to-day. Ha smiled at the
question and replied; "Ihatfs a matter I
would rather not talk about. I am In
hopes that the evidence will be sulllclent
to warrant the arrest of soms one of the
guilty ones. That Is for tho District At
torney to decide. Ho Is going ahead en
deavoring to get evidence that will stand
In court. To me It looks as If he would
come pretty near getting It."
"Is it true that all the aldermen of 1864
are Involved ?"
"Nearly all. There are two." the In
spector spoke warmly and with earnest
emphasis, "of whom lean say here row,
that they are not tarred with that stick?

Inspector paused.
"As to the rest J" suggested the reporter.
"Well, as to them, you will probably

Allusion waa made to the silverware

that drained Inspector Byrnes Into un

"Everything In Ita turn," said the In

With this, I will oomi pretty neat ihow&i

believe, was by parties vho are cognisant
of what I vaa doing with Jaehne to throw
discredit on me, or turu off the wrath to
come. It didn't work, and it won't now.
When I am through with the mora im
portant work on hand, there will be time
to show up tbit little affair in its bearings
on me."
Speculation was rife at police headquar
ters as to the identity of the lawyer em
ployed, according to Jaebne, by bis fellow
altlermon to cover up their tracks by over
hauling their private books and papers
and fixing thorn up to bear the eerutlnis

was, bat said significantly that his turn
would also come in its season.

Jayltfie to protect lilui from harm, and
that lame power will be exerted to intimi

the result? As to Byrnes, I believe it
will accomplish nothing. His rocord is
clear, and attempts to intimidate him will,
I think, be productive of little profit or
credit to those who try It. Beyond biin?
well, we shall lee. This Is going to be a
big fight."
Alderman Jaehne, with his couni9l,
Kit-hard B. Newcombe, walked down
Broadway to-day at 11 o'clock, and went
into tho Postollice building' to attend the
session of the Houate Broadway Hallway

looked very meek and seernod anxious to
avoid notice.

at any time during the present difficulty,
The interest in the future developments
is equally divided between the course
whlco the discharged mechanic, Hall, at
Marshall, Texas, shall pursue, and the re
ply ol Colonel Hoxio to Master Workman
Powderly, now in Kausaa City. Many
feel conddent that the submission of
Hall's grievances to the United States
Court will result in ending the stride on
the Texas Pacitio railroad, whichever way
the Judge of thatcourtshould decide. The
announcement by the Missouri Pacific
employes, however, of grievances, other
than the discharge of Hall warrants the
belief that a separate settlement of the
difficulty among them must he airivedul
before the strike on that road can end.
