WASHINGTON , D. 0. , March 2.
The house met at one o'clock.
Tucker moved the main question of
the senate Amendment on the funding
bill which was pending when the
house took a recess last night.
Mr. Conger moved a recess , and ! a
quorum voting , a call of the house was
urdeied. Nearly EU hour was con
sumed in the cflling of the roll.
The house did not adjourn till jnat
before eleven , bat determined to con
tinue right on & 3 in Tuesday's session.
Mr. Tucker yielded to Mr. Mc-
Muhon to report back the deficiency
appropriation bill , and gave notice
that aa soon as the latter was disposed
of he would Eslr the house to resume
consideration of the funding bill. Mr.
Tucker says he will push the funding
bill es coon as the deficiency bill is
disposed of , and will yield to nothing
except conference reports or high
privileged ques iocs. 'It will take an
hour or longer to dispose of the de
ficiency bilL
Opponents cf the funding bill have
concluded to abandon further fih-
buiterit ? , The reasun of this change
of policy U that assurances have becu
received that the president has decided
either to veto the bill , if it should
reach htm , or alloT it to fail by with
holding bin signature. On a yea and
nay vote the sixteenth araundiuent
, waa cnacurred in 116til6 ThpJ
"im uJiii ut"t stands p-tX/dC "th&r |
awards of bonds shall be made to bon
afide subscribers for two thousand
dollars or less. In other words , that
it stand as it passed the senate.
Filibustering on the refunding bill
was resumedmembers meantime con
sidering the proposition of a compro
mise mads by Mr. Oifliek. Hepropoj
ed that the funding bill be passed juet
as it came from the senate , and that
the democrats will then help the re
publicans rush through the supple
mentary bill embracing the amend
ments agreed on by the ways and
means committee Si'urday. Theae
relate to the manner of placing the
new loan , and provide that nothing
shall be construed to impair the sec
tions of the statute which allow b.inks
desiring to go into liquidation to sur
render their circulation by depositing
lawful money in the treasury.
Mr. Tucker then offered certain
nendmonts of not very practical im
portance to the fourth section Tat-y
were rejected by a vote of 88 to 126.
Mr. Tucker then moved a concur
reaca in the senate amencment to the
bfth section , fixing July as the time
after which 3 per cent bonds shall be
receivable as security for circulation ,
etc. , pending which Mr. Oougor
moved to make it September ; also to
strike out of the section the provision
repealing the section of the act of
June 20,1874 , providing for the redistribution
distribution of national bank circula
tion. It was agreed that this should
be debated. *
After a running debate on the pen-
er l purposes of the funding bill ,
which was kept np f r some time , and
the amendments having all been of.
fered and voted upon , the refunding
bill was declared passed , as It came
from the senate.
Mr. Carlisle then offered a supple
mental bilL It proposed to enact , as
a law , the very clauses which the re
publicans had fought for , and which
had been rejected as amended. Trie
majority would not consent to amend
the original bill , because it would have
to go back to the senate , but under
the supplemental , the first section was
amended so as to provide that the
awards of subscriptions shall be made ,
in the order of time of subscriptions ,
thus nullifying the provision for award
to a subscription of § 2,000 or less. It
also amended the fourth section , to
conform to the recommendation of
the ways 'and means committee , and
added a proviso with regard to sec
tion5220 and others of the revised
statutes , which were rejected as
amendments to the original bill. A
long discussion ensued on this bill.
The point was made that the house
could not amend an act which had not
yet received the sk-natare of either
the speaker or the president. This
was overruled by the epeaker on the
ground that the house bad the right at
any time to correct its ewn action
The democrats were tauuted with
paulng a bill that required correction
immediately , to which Mr. Carlisle re
plied that if a threat had not been
made that the bill would ba defeated
by sending it b&ck to the senate , all
amendments would have been adopted.
Mr. Carlisle's supplemental bill was
then adopted with hardly a dissenting
voice , after which the house ad
journed.

Sredil Dispatch to The Bee.
"WASHINOTOJI , March 2. The sun
dry civil bill was taken no , and when
the item" was reached appropriating
$3,950.73 to reimburse the president
for amount paid for the expensas of
the commission appointed to go to
Louisiana In April , 1877 , known as
the MoVeagh commission , Mr. Conk-
ling notice that he
gave should ask a
yea and nay vote , and thought that It
should be rejected , aa it had been
several times in both honaea of con-
preps.
The deficiency appropriation bill
was received in the senate , and at
2:30 : it was at once read and referred
to the appropriation committee.
Tne senate n as engaged nearly all
day in consideration of the sundry
civil bill. Meat of the amendments
from the commit tea en appropriation ,
aggregating § 212,000 , were concurred
In. An ittm incorporated by the sen
ate committeeapproprlating $3,950.73
for the expenses of the McViagh com
mission in April , 1877 , led to some
sharp debating , in which Messrs.
Beck , Conkliug and Thurman took
part , and waa finally laid on the table
without a dissenting vote.
An amendment appropriating § 20- ,
000 for the purchase of the private
papers of the la'e confederate Gen
erals Bragg and P ilk , also led to a de
bate , and waa r < jected.
An amendment was offered by Mr.
Bayard , authorizing the secretary of
the treasury to apply-any portion of
the surplus money In the treasury hu
might Tieom prud nt to the purchase
or redemption of United States bonds ,
not to ba applied to the sinking fund ,
but to bo cancelled and destroyed.
This amendment was adopted , and
the sundry civil bill passed , the vico-
president affixing his signature to the
funding bill and to the river and har
bor bill.
The house bill supplemental of the
funding b.ll , was received from the
houao and re id for the first time. Mr.
Merrill object d to a second reading ,
and it was laid aside.
At 8 p. m. Mr. Kernan moved to
go into executive cession , many of the
republican senators being absent at
the Chitlenden party in honor of Gen.
Garfiuld.
Mr. Conkling appealed to his col
league to withdraw the motion if the
contested election cases wore to be
tak n up.
Mr. Kernan declined to do so.
Mr. Eaton then moved to adjourn ,
and it was defeated yeas 19 , nays 28.
On Mr. Kernan's motion the vote
was 22 yeas to 5 nays. After a call of
the absent members , another motion
by Mr. Eaton to adjourn was defeat
ed. Dilatory tactics obtained , and
points on political tactics were an
nounced. Finally the democrats
yielded , and ou motion of Mr. Wal
lace , the senate at 8:35 : p. m. ad
journed. _

THE NEW SENATE ORGANIZATION
& , > * . ; * ! U'stutch tu the Uce
WASHINGTON , March 3 1 a. m ,
new senate , in -diance to the
president's proclamation , will meet on
the 4th of Marchand orgintZ3. There
will be prese > t 37 democrats , 36 re
publicans and 2 independents. There
willbj one vacancy on the republican
side , as a successor to Senator Car-
pentsr cannot be elected and reach
here with credentials earlier than the
12h of March. If the prevailing
0 inlon that Senator Davis will act
whh the democrats in the matter of
1 r anizlng , proves correct , then dem
ocratic control of the senate will
doub'lessba assured , at least until the
regalar session of congress next De
cember. With the addition of Davis'
vote , the democrats will have 38 and
the'republtcjms 37 , even if Mahone
acts with the latter. Committees will
be made at once , and nothing will bo
done toward the election of officers , a
the democrats are eati-fitd wiih the
present organization. President Gar-
field's nominations will , judging from
the general feeling among democratic
senators , be promptly confirnibd , and
the senate will adjourn before the
vacancy can be filled , ai the house will
not be in session. No legislative bus
iness can bo conadorod , therefore nu
business , except that cf acting on the
nominations , will come before the
senate , unless that body choose to take
np the Chir e treaty. In conso-
quenonce of * ' 3 one vacancy the con
test for control of the senate will not
protract the citra session.
THE BESIEGERS.
At the Rigga house yesterday , Sena
tor Blaine was among the first callers ,
and spent half an hour in consul a-
tion with the president-elect. Hon.
W. E. Chandler was likewise cloaetod
with Uarfield eomo time , as was alao
Hon. Marshall Jewell , of Connecticut.
The delegation Irotn the Pacific coast ,
consisting of Senator Jones , of Ne
vada and Hon. H. F. Page , Senator-
elect Miller and Congressman Pacheco ,
of California , called to urge the rep
resentation of the Pacific coast in the
cabinet. Wsat the result of these
conferences were can only "be surmis
ed. Vice-president Wheeler sent his
card with the following note : "I
will not trespass on your time by
making a personal call" At 12
o'clock Mrs. Garfieid
went out for a
short drive , and at 1 o'clock the pres
ident-elect retired to private appart-
ments fur a fhort respite from the
duties of the forenoon. Streams of '
callers continued throughout the
afternoon.
The only disturbances that have
occurred In the city took place last
night Police Ofncer Offalt attempt
ed to arrest Robert Fovrler , of Pitta-
burg , a rough , when the Utter resist
ed , and cut the officer severely in the
face with a razor. Fowler waa ar
rested.
The funding bill , after its pasr.igo |
by the Louse , waa promptly enrolled ,
signed by speaker and president , and
will be presented to the president
to-day. The most intense iniercst
prevails here aa to his probable action.
Those nearest the president appear
confident that he will veto the bill.
A grand party was given by Gen.
Unittenden last ni ht , In honor of
i president-elect Garfielij , which was
J attended by many senators and con 1
gressmen , who deserted their aeate In
congress in order to be present.
BAMPANT ROSCOE. *
The outbreak in the aonato yeser-
dy morning , In which Conkltug ,
Thurman and Beck were the princi
pals , attracted a aood deal of atten
tion. Conkling gava warning cf the
coming storm when the item appro
priating § 3,905.73 to reimburse Presi
dent Hayes for the expenses of the
McVeagh commission to New Orleans
in April , 1877j wai rotc'ied , but the
amendment was laid over for a while.
The rumor that ho Tas to attack the
amendment drew additional crowds to
the gallery.
Mr. Back endeavored to get a vote
without debate , even at the expense
of the amendment , but Mr. Conkling
would not permit this opportunity for
a passing shot at the outgoing admin
istration-to pass without Lo obtained
an nppiirtanity to speak'
Mr. Baily , a democratof Tennessee ,
came to the defense of the president ,
declaring the sending of the com
mission a patriot's act , and that there
hid been no bettor administration
for the past half century.
Mr. Beck said that , althoughhe had
worked aa hard aa any one against th'e
election of Mr. Hayes , he would not
now take vengeance on him , or stick
pins into him.
Mr Conkling expressed his sym-
pithy for the First national bank of
New York which had advanced the
money. If it was true that the money
wai to come out of the meagre salary
of the president , to pay the expenses
of these tourhis , for they were in no
sense commissionera , ho waa not suf
ficiently hardhearted to resist the apk
peal , and if it wai to come from thir
pockets of thcsi tourists , a man must
be cruel indeed to refuse to pay it ,
especially if it wei other people's
money.

of their views ejiiust the wiedoni
of the bill becoming a law. One of

CABINET SPECULATIONS.
Of five leading republican aenators
who were asked their opinion of the

would go into the * tt.to department ,
and Rdburt Lincoln in Jhe war office.

to a western man and that
New York would be given
either the p"stoffiuo or navy depart
ment. The five alao agreed in the
.opinion that net more than half the
membora of the cabinet have been
decided upon.
Mr. Conkling saw Gen. Garfield
yesterday , and his demeanor since
that lioio satisfies some of his colleagues -

affirm that it was never the purpose
of the government to make sudden ar *

to be enforced only when its force as

m. The cats against W. H. Coch
ran for killing Judge Haydenof Wood
county , ia Bet for trial Monday next ,
and will be called np at Neilnllo , in
Clark county , defendant having taken
two changes of venue to escape public
prejudice. In October , 1879 , Judge
Huyden was shot dead by Cochran , at
Contrails. The litter had discovered
unmistakable proof of criminal inti
macy batweou hia wife and Hayden.
In Juno of that
year ha intercepted a
letter written by Mrs. Cochran ,
wnich revealed the secret , and ou her
return homo from Minnesota , where
she was then visiting , she confessed.
Her huabaud left her and toook their
eight year-old child , but shortly after
gave It into thc-possasaion of its moth
er , on hearing that the latter was
haart broken at tna separation. Coch-
rau studiously avoided Hayden , al
though previous to thfs trouble h'e
had been his dearest friend. The
JIsanDuM.'hap.ter.J'Jve.iu'gated the mai-
tor ; and Judge Hayden WRI tried for
the seduction of n brother Meson's
wife , wai convicted and expelled. He
afterwards bought a w/jakly / paper atr
Centralia , and published seindalouH
articles which reflected severely ou
Cochran's private character. The
latter then deliberately ehot him dead.
Excitement in the community was In
tense , > id the friend * of the asiailant
were oblued to i aird thi < jail to pre
vent lynching. Judge Hayden had
served tha government aa a soldier In
the Thirty-fifth Wisconsin regiment ,
irtid < iftor.varda practiced law in Caldwell -
well county , Mo. , fur many years.
HH moved buk : to Wisconsin , and in
1877 , ran for the position of attorney-
general on the greenback ticket. W.
H. Cochran IB a native of-Now York.
Ida aurved three years in the army ,
and was two years in the war depart
ment at Washington. For five yews
pa t ho has been ciahler of the First

the tragedy he was admitted to bail
in the sum of § 10,000. He is a man
cool in pu.rpt.Be , kind of heart , but

Emury A. Storre as counsel. The
tripl will undoubtedly be one of the
most sensational events which Wis

Too prominence of the parties , both

The probability ia that the case will

The train * which ware delayed since

bringing many members of the le ia-
laturo , without whom the senatorial
battle could not progress. There ia a
strong opposition to SenatorCameron , ,

have boasted that they could run the
legialature , and second , becauao Sen
ator-elect Sawyer ia lending hia in-
fluencH to help elect Cameron. This ,
it ia claimcl , is in a spirit of dicta
tion. The purpose of a majority of
the members appears to bo first to
beat Cameron , and then settle upon a
candidate. Keys and Lieutenant-
Gov. Blnghatn stand about equally
well. Congressman Williams is said
to be out of .the contest , bnt.tbere is
plenty of material left.

ST. PAUL , Mirch 2 4 p. m.
T iero waa a great excuse for the
panic which reigned supreme through
out the capitol at the tirat cry of fire ,
about 9 o'clock. In the houao it WHS
particularly thrilling. Occupants of
the ualiery rushed pull mell over eacti
other for the narrow stairway
to the corridor. Driven back
here by the emoke they let
themselves down over the railway in
to the body of the hoaae. The mem
bers ruahed for the doors without
atopping for the'r hata , coats or priva e
pipers. When the doors were opened
a volume nf smoke drove them bick
and a wi'd rush was made for ihe
windows , yel'ing ' for ladders and
ropes. Aaserablyman Schmitty , cf
Washington county , jumped
from the eouth window ,
landing in a snow bank , luckily
sustaining only a few bruises. The
speaker of the home jumped over his
desk and demanded , in a stentorian
voice , to keep cool , but his action
only increased the confusion. Strong
men were completely unnerved. One
member mounted hiadeak waving hia
hands and shooting , "we'll all be
burued to death. " Others rushed
hither , wailing , "we're sant in and will
be smothered. " Curves loud and
deep rent the air. About a dozuu
ladies were present , clinging , blanch
ed and trembling , to their masculine
companions. A few members acted
with composnro and gathered their
effects togf'her. The clerks acted
with great presence of mind , gather
ing tha rojords and everything of
valua ready for removal. Lidders wera
put at the windows aud the people
began to go down. The munificent
picture of Gen. Thomzi , which hung
b tck of the deak , was saved. Fiually
the fireman enter : ! at the door , tbj
density of I 'tie smoke having subsided ,
and shouted for .thtm to no out that
way qulchly , without crowding. Soon
tha house wat vacated.
In the senate chamber the BCPHPS
were leaa exciting. A'moit immediate
ly after th cry cf tire thj llimpi
conl'Jbe sen overhead , and cinders
began to fall , One. excitable senator
shouted , "Every luna taka c re of
himself. " The excitement waa con
siderably all-tyed by the stentorian
voice , of Senator Crooka above all the
din , ehotitini. , "Mr. Pr sident , I
move that thesemtedonowadjouin. "
Lieut. G-.v. ( Jlluvsna-Jd : "Such will
be considered the cense of the
aenite unlei objection ia made. "
There waa no objection nade. 'ihe
lieutenant governor utood at tht deak
with gavcliti hand commanding ,
"Gentlemen , there ia no occasion for
Rhrm. Do. not crowd. There is time
for ail to pas out. " There waa a ruah
for the door , however , but a few got
out that way , but the majority made
their exit thruoirh the windowa , drop
ping into enow bank ? . Hardly had
the la l senator escaped with the re-
C'irda when tha greit chandelier fell
