WASHINGTOK , April ,5 , On the
'
opening nf 'the senate , Mr. McPherson -
son call -d attention to rule eight , and
claimed the right to present bin petition
tion for the relief of Michael Boston ,
a United Slates citizen , alleged to be
confined unjustly in an English prison.
The chair decided the petition could
only be read , if no objection was
made.
The rule wan discussed by Messrs.
Ferry , Hoar , Diwea and McPhersnn.
The petition wan finally received
and referred to the committee on for
eign affairs.
Dilatory motions were then begun ,
aod several inadequate votes taken.
At 12:30 : , Mr. Byard began a
speech in justification of tbe attitude
of the democratic side of the senate
daring the past ten days. He re
viewed the proceedings of the senate
to show that when the actual mnjority
of the senate was discovered the dem
ocrats withheld opposition , as the
records will show , and consented to
the organization of committees.
Now , however , the democrats had
only been nslnt ; their just rights to
check the desire of the majority to ex-
ecntive act > on on the business for
which the session was called. Be
then went into precedents. Ho de
nied a parallel between the present
case and that of two jears ago. Then
the session of the senate was an open
one , and , besides that , one of the in
cumbent officers who was then dis
played , had declared himself partisan.
Now the change of officers is uncalled
for and out of place. The fact of the
neglect of the republican * to consider
the executive business , and the petty
excasei they presented for it , furn
ished just grounds for democratic
opposition. He acknowledged the
issue wa * a contest. The republicans
could not afford to sow seeds of gen
eral repudiation in any treasure , but
the recognition of a repudiationist
and his friends was closely akin to it.
The failure of any true democrat to
use all parliamentary rnles to defeat
an aasanlt on the credit of any state
in ( he union , was a gross m gleet of
duty. Surety the end , the diaente
pration of tbe democratic party of
Virginia , could not justify the means ,
and > he means could not justify them
selves.
Mr. Sherman then spoke. He
called attention to the fact that even
freemen's privileges might bo abused.
When any party used the rules oi the
senate for opposition reasons they were
trespassing on revolutionary ground * .
The speaker had expected more
weighty reasons for the posl'ion of the
senator from Delaware. He had lis
tened carefully , and had recognized
no real jeason for the determined op
position of the democrats Mr. Sher
man , in the course of his speech ,
summed up some of the reasons presented
sented by Mr. Btyard , for the posi
tion of the democracy. One of these
was that Mr. Mahone had been a
democrat and that they had a claim ,
in honor , to his vote. He would not
stop to.repast what had been thown ,
that Mahone was not elected a demo
crat , and hud repeatedly disavowed
bourbonism. The people of the
north well know the ostracism that
followed the Declaration of Independ
ence on the pert of southern demo
crats , and hence they were not slow
to welcome one who had dared
to coma out in an independent
position. So far as such men pro
posed to repudiate any part of any
debt , sta e or national , the speaker
'
was utterly oppnsed to it. The'cluim
that the election of Riddlebergrr
w aid disintegrate the democracy , was
one that the speaker could not under
stand. He hoped it would have that
effect. If he thought It would , he
would morn earnestly engage in the
contest Tbe success of republicanIsm -
Ism in Virginia wonld be of the great
est good to the country , and well
worth fighting for. No bargain hai
been made ; no promiies given. Tne
purpose of the republicans was as
clear as day , and could not be con
taminated by such imputations. If
the country was in danger from repu
diation , the democrats should remem
ber that they represented the party
who h d controlled every state where
repudiation of any kind had been at
tempted. Beciuse an all > g dbnt not
proven , repudutionut haa been nom
inated for a petty office , was no reason
why the wheels of government should
be blocked. What guarantee was
there that some opposition would not
be met in the consideration of execu
tive businest , far which the opposition
seem so anxious ? When the minor
ity eeks to rule , the minority could
uot yield without danger to the creat
institutions of the country. Such
doctrine was dangerous , indeed.
Mr. McPherson as led if anyone
could show one act of Mr. Mahone
before election disclaiming the demo
cratic party.
Mr. Hoar read an ex Tact from a
speech of Mr. Mahone's in answer ,
and this led to further questions as to
the repudiation record of the senator
from Virginia. Mr. Hoar was firm in
the declaration that Mr. Mahone
came to the republicans in honesty ,
and even the senator from Delaware
could not refuse to welcome such an
one.
one.Mr. . Bayard said he wonld have
nothing to do with one who c&me
from one n&rty to another when repu
diation was the issue.
"But suppofe it isn't the issue ? "
sugcested Mr. Hoar.
"Your own party has declared it , "
replied Mr. Bayard.
"I deny it , " continued Mr. Hoar.
"And I .ffirm It , " concluded Mr.
Bayard.
Mr. Hoar was willing to let the sen
ator rest on his belief. He spoke
further , however , and called the dem
ocrats' attention to a speech of Mr.
Yance , in which he declared himself a
readjuster , and advocating the pay
ment in Virginia of fifty cents on the
dol'ar. ' Mr. Hear also gave notice
that he hoped to-morrow to enter
fully upon adiscneslon of the financial
condition of North Carolina , which
had been attacked In a recent speech
of Mr. Mahone.
At 420 p. m. , on motion of Mr.
Diwes , the senate adjourned till 12
m. to-morrow.
CAPITAL NOTES.
CATEEIMO TO CONKUNO.
tJpocUl Dispatches to Tbe EM.
Politicians here yesterday were af
forded a new sensation of unprece
dented character. It was seml-offlcially
announced that Garfield had deter
mined to solve the New York custom
house difficulty by nationalizing it ,
so as to remove it completely from
causes of republican dissensions in the
Empire state. He has , it is said , de
cided to withdraw the nomination of
Robertson and nominate Hon. David
Divis It is alleged that both Davis
and Robertson have consented , and
that the plan ia backed by a majority
of the senators in Washington , as
well as by the euti e cabinet The
only way to have thia done U to have
the collector a man of national repu
tatlon from some other state , and have
the cnstom house appointments en
tirely divorced from purely state in
fluence. The president is said to bT
strongly supported In this contem
plated movement by business men in
New York , and all over the country.
Not a single good objections has been
made against the proposed nomination
of Jud eDavis.
QAEFIELD OK COALITION.
State Senator Lawis , of Virginia ,
was at the White H mse yesterday ,
with a delegation composed of col
ored republicans of the state. They
saw the president and had an inter
view with him relating to tb policy
of the republican party of Virginia.
It was nrged upon the president that
he encourage a liberal movement , as
it had been developed of late , es
pecially as regarded the position of
Senator Mahone and what had grown
out t f it in .the state. The president
replied that he was fully in sympathy
with that movement , and would do all
in his power to foster it. He thought
the proper policy for republicans to
parsue was that they should combine
with the disifieoted elements of dem
ocracy , whenever such action was not
conflicting with their interests. Such
a course , he thought , would conduce
to building up the party. He did not ,
be saia , endorse the position assumed
by ultra republicans in Virginia , who
opposed any coalition with Senator
ilahono and his followers , and were
strong in advocating that he should
receive no support or countenance
from the straight out republicans.

CINCINNATI , April 6 10 p. m.
The reunion of the Army of the Ten
nessee has bron ht to the city a great
number of visitors , many of thorn dia
tinguished officers' < > f the war. Among
these are Generals ShermanSherfdin ,
Pope , ex-President Hayes. Gov JPps-
ter and othere. Thasoctely iaeitor
bcsttfGss this mornine , at Pike's opera
house , with Gen. Sherman In the
chair. Gen. M. .Force , treasnrerrbad
his report , after which letters of re
gret were read from Generals Grant
ind Hancock , Secretaries Lincoln and
Elaine and others. General Sherman
then read an account of the battle of
Shtloh , a most interesting papernpon
which he has spent much time and la
bor. This was listened to with great
interest , and was the feature of. the
day's session , A committee was then
selected to nominate officers and report
at another session. At noon they
were received on 'change , where
speeches were made , and a cordial
welcome extended to the distinguished' '
officers. At 3 p. m. the procession
ormed , and marched to Fountain
square , where the ceremony of un
veiling the statue of Gen. MoPhersun
took place. At 1 p. m. the Army of
the Tennessee marched 10 the cham-
jer of commerce , headed by a band
of music They were welcomed b'y
President Urner in an earnest speech ,
which was .replied to by Gen. Sher
man , who said he understood that tbe
men he had led into the chamber had
nothing to sell , and he doubted if they
would buy anything ; but he thanked
that body for ita-kindly feeling. He
spoke of recollections of the war as
above barter'and sale. "Gen. .Sheridan
also responded , by sayng : "This
chamber probably thinks It haa a
'corner' on me for a speech , but it
IBS not. I never make speeches. "
The following is a portion of Gen.
Sherman's speech , giving a number of
.nteresting incidtn's that have never
appeared IB print. He passed several
charts through the andience , upon
which which were a number of cor
rections to the standard m p drawn
up by Gen. Halleck's staff oflTc'ew.
These corrections he exolained. Af
ter giving several corrections .to the
historical account , of the .battle , he
said : "All reliable accounts agree
that Gen. 0. F. Smith'posted the
rmy at Pit sburg Binding to fulfill
Gen Halleck's iustniotinna of March
1 , 1862 ; that Gen. U. S. Grant sue-
ceedtd to the command , and exercised
i' at the iime of the battle ; 'and that
division commanders rahke'd thus :
McClernand , Lew Wallace , Slinrman ,
Hurlbnt. Premiss and W. H. L. Wal
lace. Yet I am often held responsi
ble by the critics for the 'surprise and
stampede' of tbe fugivea , although 'it '
is equilly well known that McPher
son and I had previously reconniotered
the country forward for. ten miles ,
and had been skirmishing with the
enemy f < r several days prior to the
battle. I have never been in a battle
but some one waa surprised. A good
many persona were surprised at
Sbiloh , but not one who had not fair
notice to be ready for anything and
everything that might happen , and
the report that anybody was biyouet-
ed in bed has long since been ex plod
ed. Prentiss' division and mine Wura
in the extreme front , and were all
ready when the blow came , and all
the others were behind us , and had
ample timu for preparation. The
simple truth is that we were on the
west bank of tbe Tennessee river
with a purpose to attack the enemy's
position at Corinth ; that Gen. B null's
Army of the Ohio was marching from
Nashville to reinforce us ; and that the
rebel Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston
resolved not to await our attack at
Corinth , but to attack us before Buell
cnuld arrive. His army was divided
into three corps , commanded by Polk ,
Bragg and Hardie , with a reserve ,
commanded by Breckenridge. His
object was to capture or destroy us
before these reinforcements could ar
rive. He ftiled in that most signally ,
and therefore to ns belonged the vic
tory a victory little appreciated al
that time , and not fully comprehended
to-day , but that victory was one of the
most important which haa ever oc
curred on this continent. It dissi
pated forever that nonaenre of one
sonthern man hippin ? a dozen Yan
kees. It give us tbe prestige which
we had only to follow up , which we
did at Corinth , luka , Vicksburg.Chat
tanooga , Atlanta , Columbia and Ral
eigh yes , to the end of the war , to
insure absolute success. I-have al
ways estimated the victories of the
Army of the Tennessee at Fort Don-
elsonfand Shiloh as the most valua
ble of all , because of their moral ef
fect. They gave our men confidence
in themselves and in a degree shook
the confidence of sonthern men in
thelrownprowessforatno subsequent
battle did they ever attack with as
much vehemence and perseverance as
they did on the morning of April 6. '
He then read an account of the bat
tie in The Courier Journal , which
stated that the entire union line was
driven back to the river , and referred
to asveral other s'milaraccounts which
be declared were untrue. The cen
tre of our lines , said he , wera two
miles from the steamboat landing , on
the evening of April 6 ,

THE DREADED DYNAMITE ,
Spe lit Dispatch to The Bee.
LONDON , April 7 1 a. m. Author
ities of the custom home yesterday
received a second warning of a plot to
blow up the building with dynamite.
A similar warning was received some
fuw days ago , but It was regarded as a
hoax , and but little attention was
paid to it , although the aaihori'iea in
charge took every precaution to pre
vent the execution of the threat.
This second warning la more explicit ,
and seems to point to a real conspira
cy. The custom house is situated in
lower Themes street , not far from tbe
Tower of Lindon. It contains the of
fices of the secretary , tbe surveyor-
general of the port , law offices of the
solicitors of customs , comptroller of
accounts , statistical deparrmenta , and
a long room. The building itiuif ii
not very imposing in appearance , but
the baainess done within its dingy
walls ia immense. In addition to the
outside corps of police , it has its own
special corpa of watchmen , and is ,
moreover , guarded night and day by
a detachment of militia from the
tower near by. Within the last few
daya thia guard haa been doubled.

It appears that Ed. Oulrer occupiei
part of the lot with a stable. Prior
to Dr. .mercer's sale of'the land to Mr
Millard , the Doctor states that Calve

resign certain lease rights which h
possessed. After the sale of the prop
erty , it la stated that he increased hi
demands , and it waa finally agreei
to build for him , in a
desirable locality a forty stall stable.
Eventually he claimed that this was
not aatif factory , and finally demand
ed § 1,500 to vacate the lot , the ar
rangements having so far progressed
that any demand would be acceded to.
In the meantime certain creditors
of Culver replevined various articles
of his property , including the lease
right. The latter was offered for sale
Tuesday morning and purchased by
Dr. Mercer for 3100. Baldwin , the
house mover , was on hand , and at
once began removing the building.
