There has been a general concession
'hathe bus rarned the right to select
his position for the next four years ,
and while he wilt not be in the next
cabinet , his position as tbe only re
publican senator from the pre-ident's
state will make him a pioneer , which
the next administration cannot afford
to ignore. Speculations as to his suc
cessor in the treasury have not , as
yet , taken hardly any tangible form.
Cabinet makers arc reaching out all
over the country , but find no candi
date qualified for the position. The
new man , who ever he may be , will
find himself in no enviable position.
SENATE.
Special D * patchc to Tfce Bee.
WASHINGTON , December 22. Mr.
Booth , from the committee on public
lands , reported the house bill for the
relief of settler * on odd sections of
railroad lands , and ssked its present
consideration , which was accepted ,
and the bill passed as it came from the
house.
The chair appointed Messrs. Mer
rill ard Pendleton visitors on the
part of the senate to the military acad
emy at West Point , and Messrs. Alli
son and Morgan visitors to the naval
academy at Annapolis.
Mr. Morgan asked consent to take
up his resolution which was submit
ted June last , declaring that the pres
ident of the senate is not invested by
the constitution of the United States
with the right to count the vote of
electors for president and vice-presi
dent of the United States , so a to de
termine what votes shall be counted
and what votes shall be rejected. Mr.
Morgan called up his resolution sub
mitted June last , declaring that the
president of the senate Is not author
ized to count the electoral vote , and
proceeded to deliver a set speech upon
the same.
Mr. Edmunds thonght this an inop
portune time to bring forward the resolution
elution ; that a certain eet of ideas
might be presented without opportu
nity for others to bo advanced for a
considerable time , in view of other
business to which ha could not allude.
He didn't press his objection , and
Mr. Morgan proceeded with a set
speech in support of the resolution.
Edmunds said he agreed with the
senator that the president of the sen
ate has no right Jo count the votes in
the sense of deciding the thinp , and
he wished to add in the same sentence
that the senate and house have no
more right to count the vote in that
sense , nor all three together.
The whole subject was tabled by a
vote of 140 to 44.
The senate in executive session this
afternoon voted down the motion to
reconsider yesterday's confirmation ef
Judge Woods to be associate justice
of the supreme court , and his confir
mation therefore stands.
When the doors were opened a
nnmoer of private bills were taken up
< at the instance of different senators
and passed.
A bill to pay the widowvof tbe late
George Wright 53500 for the use oi
\\t \ patented lioch-pin for artillery
c srriaget , gave rise to a protracted do-
I to on the question whether lha gore -
e rnmeiit should pay for inventions
ir lade by persons in its employ.
The senate found Itself without
q laorum , and at 4:30 p. in. adjouruec
c ctil January 5,1881.
HOUSE.
Tbo row in the house yesterday ,
n d the anticipation tint something
we mid be done about it to-day , at-
trrcted a crowd to the house this
mi jiming.
itfessrs. Sparks and Weaver , the
pri ncipals in yesterday's row , were
eai-ly , in their seats. After prayer by
the , chaplain , and iast as the clerk was
about to read the journal , Mr. Bow-
maDof { Massachusetts , called atten
tion to the language of section five of
rnlu thirteen , aa follows : "If a mem
ber is called to order for words spoken
In debate , the member calling him to
order shall indicate the words exceptcd
to , and they shall bo taken down in
writing at the clerk's desk and read
loud to the boose , bathe shall not be
held to answe nor bo Subject to the
ceaeure of the house there for if fur
ther debate or other business has in
tervened " " The point that Mr. Bdw-
man desk-ad to make was , whether the
reidingof the journal would basuch ,
\5swof the business , aa contempla
ted by tbe rule.
The speaker ruled that it was not
such intervening business ,
The journal WRS. rlioh reid and ap
proved.
M' . tsne , of Maryland , with a view
of settling the Difficulty of jes'brday
in tbe moat amicable wa } , snggEs'ed
that Messrs. Weaver and Sparks apol-
og'ze ' to the house for their c nducc ot
yesterday , and offered'a rcsolattcu to
that effect.
Many members did not think that
was going far enough , and Mr. Bow
man offered &t a substitute that both
parties be expelled for gross violation
of rules of the housa and a breach of
decorum.
Mr. Browne , of Indiana , offered a
jurther substitute that a committed
be appointed by the epsaker to investi
gate the whole subject.
Weaver and Sparks were both per
mitted to make atatemenfs , and both
appli g Sid to the house , bnt very
poiotudly evided miking any apology
to each other.
Mr. WiR\crpnul : " . "if course there

What I said Was wholly unjustifiable ,
and I apologize for my pait in thu

Mr. Sparks rose and said : "In com

Special H ( patch to the Bed
MONTREAL , December 23 1 a. .m.
Sara Bernharkit arrived here at 9
o'clock last evening. In the after-
nocn a deputation of prominent citi
zens , with representatives of th-3 press ,
went to St. Albans , Vt. . to meet tbe
great actress , where they arrived Rt G
p. m. , and in a brief time the train
bearing the famous across rolled into
the station , where a large crowd was
asaambkd to catch a glimpse of htr.
Soon after the start for Montreal was
made , the deputation entered Mile
B-rnhardt's the " of
tpscial car , "City
.Worcester , " und the niombers were
introduced t'o the fair Bira. Being
somewhat indisposed , the interview
was a short one , its chief feature being
the reading of an original piem ad
dressed to Berr.hardt by 31 Louis
Frechf tte , poet laureate o ! the Acad
emic Frai cjise , who was one of the
deputation. The effect of the very
pretty sonnet was to considerably
brighten the actresi , who had been
considerably unnerved by the unac
countable hostility of the American
clergy , and she thanked the author
very heartily. The arrival of the
train at tbe depot was greeted wi'h
the strains of ' LMarBeillai80"pl'yed
by a military band , the immense
crowd assembled cneering wildly. The
wife and daughter of a leading queen's
counsel were admitted to the car and
presented to Beruhardt a co-tly bo
quet. Bernhardt then left tha car
ind with M. Schwab , an elderly resi
dent Frenchman , made her way
through the multitude , which throng
ed on all sides. Thu divine Sr hnd
every reason o feel satisfied with her
reception in the Canadian metropolis ,
and that she i , may b > inferred from
her eXcl mtona ! or pleasure at the
delicate attention paid her. To avoid
the crowd , Mile. Bernhardt left by a
side entrance , and was driven to
Windsor hotel , where another large
crowd.Composed of the elite of the
city-had assembled to meet her. The
attempt to suppress the parformance
of "Adrionne Lecouveur" here on
Christmas ha * failed , the city attor
ney deciding that tha police cimmia-
sioner had no right to in eifere.

CHICAGO , DeiemVier 22 10 p. m.
A special from Cdldweli , Kansas ,
friva the secret of the opposition to
the opening of the Indian territory is
to bo found in the rapacious Indian
rings and stock rings , which infest
both Washington and the territory.
Three years ago , about 25,000 head of
cattle were wintered In the territory ,
la 1878 the number had so increased
that the Cherokees demanded a per
capita Tax on all cattle held on their
lands. This amounted lo some $12-
000 , but it is eaid that not more than
one-tenth of ifc wai turned in to the
Cherokee treasury. D ist year there
were 50,000 to CO.OCO head and this
year 150,000 head. No one is per
mitted to enter the territory , or hold
cattle there without a permit from
the Indians , who requlrj a tax of fifty
cents per head. Major Sipe , treas
urer of the Cherokee nation , who col
lected the tax on the 150.000 head ,
reports $4,000 ns the receipts from
this source this year , whereas it
ought to be $75,000. The cattle held
in the territories are owned by two
or thrae individuals and it ia charged
that they compose a ring and control
a powerful lobby at Washington , who
have secured permission to pasture
their stock in the territory , although
the government orders ere to eject
all herdera , as well as settlera.

The various faro banks of the city

wa understand that one or two of Wo
proprietors , who had , for some-i'me

the business in this city , found that
the opening of several new banks in

upon their buainess. It was therefore
deemed prudent to bring about a
general suspension for a time , as such
move would have the effect
to freeze ont the small deal

well afford to lay off a week or two. A
truce was therefore determined upon
