[ Benjamin Disraeli , Earl of Boa
conefield , w a boru in London Do
cembar 21 , 1805 , an3 was therefore
past his seventy sixth yaar. llo tra-
of Jewish descent , his grandfither ,
after whom he was named , bavins
settled in Eugland in 1745. The
name "Disraeli" W23 adopted by hia
anceetors , whan in the fifteenth con-
koty , they found refage from the
Spanish Inquisition in the Yenetiac
republic. Ylwt name they bore ia
Spain is not known.
His father was an eminent litora
teur , aud the dead earl was finst in
tended for the law. He remained in
the study cf it for three yeare , aftei
which ha traveled on the continent ,
and returning , at the age of twenty
wrolo "Virian Grey. " This won for
him immediate distinction. lie then
undertook a trip to the east , and in
six years after his first novel , or ic
1831 , appeared "The Young Duke , "
followed next year by "Oontarinl
FleminR. " Then cime "The Won
drous Talc cf Alroy"and "The Rise
of lekander" In 1833 ; tovtral pilitical
pimphlets in 1834 , "A Vindication oi
; he English Constitution" in 1S33 ,
"Runoymede" and "Henrietta Tem
ple" in 183G , "Venetia" in 1837 ,
"Count Alarcoa" in 1839 , "Conlnga
" " " In 1845 "Ixion
by" In 1844 , "Sibyl" ,
in Heaven" and "Taucrtd" in 1847 ,
"Lothalr" in 1870 , and "JSndymlon"
[ n 1880. His first novel was aa great
as the last , and the stories are con
structed on much the sitno principle.
This is his lllerary record. The
period between "Tancred" aud "Lo-
thair" 23 years wag the moil
as ive portion of his political career.
His political career began et High
Wycombe , in Buckinghamshire , ic
1832. He appeared as a radical
backed by Huma and Bnlwer. Daniel
O'Oonnoll refuted to indorse him. He
was defeated , as ha was aain In 1833
aud 1834 , and twice in 1835. During
this last canvasi he denounced O'Con
nellas "a bloody traitor. " To this
O'Councll aftertrarda replied that , foi
aught he kneir , Disraeli might bt
"too true heir-at-livr of the impeni
tent thlot whti died on tie cross "
For this Disraeli challenged Morgan
O'Connoll , but the challenge wa uot
accepted. In a letter to O'Conncll
( Daniel ) Iw wrote : "We shall meet a !
Fhilippt. wharo I will aeica the firs !
opportunity of inflicting castigatior
for the insults you hava lavished ci
mo. "
Finally he was elected in 1837 te
the first pirllament of Quaen Ylc
toria'i reign. His first speech ivai i
denunciation of O'Connoll , bu
It was a failure , and hi
was laughed down. lie closed say
ing : " 1 shall iit down now , but thi
time will came when you will hea
me" He kept hia word two year
later.
In 1839 he married the widow o
Wyndham Lswis. She brought hie
a large fortune and in his declining
peerage in 1668 , she was created Via
countess Beaconsneld.
Disraeli was the meat powerful ore
tor in England when he became th
leader of the conservative party I
1849. He IKS been the leader eve
since. In 1852 ho became chancellc
of the exchequer ; agiln In 1858 ; egai
in 18CG ; premier in 1868 and ag = i- : i
1874. Hii great relorm bill , xhic
extended the suffrage very widely , an
the Berlin conference , were perha ]
hit crowning achievement ; .
As a man , rs an orator , u a part
leader , as a statesman or as an autboi
he wonld have died renowned i
eithsr ludivlduill'y. Ho was born 1
ba great and his greatness rcache
ont and permeated everything 1
touched. His death must necessaril
have a great effect on the who !
political hc.nzDn of Europe , and as t
England , there is now but one leadi
lift. Giadstme stands absolute !
whhout a peer in England , and tl

predict the consuivitivo party wl

WASHINGTON , April 18. Busineis
opened this morning with the receipt
of o communication from the secretary
of war , answering a senate inquiry
concerning the testing machines for
materials in use in the department.
Jilr. Harris submitted the official
report of R. P. Porter as canaua stat
istician in correction of his corres
pondence to The North American
Review , inwhich he classed Tennes-
aee among the states that htd aciloi
and repudiated debt ? . The senator
iad deemed It unnecessary to correct
; he statement of that periodical , but
since the eamo has been contradicted
jy the senators from Ohio and Vir-
; mia , he made the correction now to
lit Tennessee right before the people.
After several Ineffectual dilatory
motions Mr. Dawes made a speech in
arralanment of the democratic policy
of fillibuUering to defeat the will of
; he maiority.
Th'a ' led to a discussion of t Jo Bit-
nation on the lest night session , and
; ho record wai reviewed to show that
Ur. Dawes had himself refused to go
nto executive session.
Mr. Dawea disclaimed any parallel
) otween the cases , Blnca there wa ? no
avoxed purpose than by the minority
o thwart the will of the majority.
; f the democrats relied on that pre
cedent for their present action , it WAS
a weak foundation to stand on.
Tiio discussion was participated in
> y Messrs. DAVIS , West "Virginia ,
Sauhbnry and Burnalde , with nudor-
one remarks now tnd then by Conk-
Ing.
Ing.Mr. . Burnaide said the question re-
srrod to at the Irat session w.a not a
( artiaan affair , sine * ho could name
lomocrats who also withheld their
votes on that occasion to assist the
epubltcana in defecting certain Horn-
nations.
Mr. Beck made a speech aud in-
ortnud the republicans that they
would not elect Rlddbberger Ser-
next December.
; oant-at-srms , oven
le hoped some good republican would
numlnato aoniD union ooldlar who was
a gentleman , and would bo fa'r ' with
) oth sides.
Mr. Dawes hoped the senator from
Kentucky did not seek to Imply di-
ractly or indirectly that he had been
* uiUy of3 l > j ior'in t lB n < itor. -
Mr. Beck t&id he should say noth-
ng to lead the aenator from Msssa-
chnoetta to a chsllongo on the floor.
Cho senator would express no opinion
on the subject , but hoped to have a
chance to do so in some canvasa. Then
10 would anawer when and how he
jleased.
Senator Brown spoke for a half
lour in defense of the claim that the
constitution was framed , not BO much
Far the elevation of the raajoiities , as
[ or the protection of the rights of the
minorities.
Mr. Blair replied to Me. Brown at
length , and In his icmarka thanked
God for the dead lock , If it would set
tle , even by the teat of intellectual ,
moral and physical endurance , the
question of whether the majority
should rule or not.
Brown said that the minority were
right in opposing the inecinrca that
the people of the country condemned.
Burnaide said that he did not believe -
lievo that the people condemned the
measure.
Mr. Brown aald that the republican
press condememned ft , and he pre
dicted that the number of condemna
tions would Increase.
Mr. Buruside denied the general
condemnation , and stated that ap-
provala of the course were increasing.
At 3:35 : p. m. Mr. McPherson sug
gested that Mr. Dawes , having run
his show for a month , and the galler
ies Icing no longer crowded , it would
bo a brother showman's courtesy to
move to adjourn , that thcso who
wished might go to Barnum'a show.
Mr. Dawes replied that if the sena
tor from Now Jersey thought the cir
cus waa more attractive than his con
stituents' interests , he was perfectly
at libeity to go to it.
gThe debate was renewed after this
und was participated in by Logan ,
Hampton , Dawo nnd Brown. Il
finally drifted toward the question a ;
to whether Mahono did not occupy
the room next to the republican cau
CDS and hold communication with thi
caucus.
Mr. Dawoa said that If auchwai
the case ho had not known It , bnt th (
senator from Virginia had a porfec
right to act as he pleased. He spokt
a quarter ol an hour in defense of Mr ,
Mahone , and at 4:50 : moved to ad
jonin.
The motion was carried at once.
CAPITAL NOTES.
Special dispatches to TUB BKS.
Persons who originated the state
ment to the effect that the preslden
Is opposed to the action of the repub
lioan senators , and that he will inter
fera to break the deadlock , spoke en
tirely on their own responsibility
The president has repeatedly express
ed to republican senators hia heart }
approval of what they are doing. Th
prea'denl expresses his opinion freel ;
and aays the position of the republi
can party in tha aooate admits of ni
change.
The continuance of the deadlocl
leaves the Indian bureau in an nnfor
tunate condition. There are sevora
important agenciei vacantand a larg
amount of property is in the handa o
peraona not under bonds. This arhe
out of the fact that an Indian agen
does not hold until his successor take
charge , but his official tenura ce&se
with his term. The acting commla
aionor of Indian affairs himself ha
but an appointment of chief clerl
only , Trqwbrldge , who has been a c
for toveral months , being still commfs
sloner.
Senator Fryo says that there hs
been no republican ciucus called , nc
had ho heard that there was any Ir
tention of calling one. Some think th
deadlock will continue until a goo
atroke of warm weather intorfures
when one aide or the pther will yleli
