After the senate went into execu
tive session to-day a debate Bpiung up
that lasted nearly three hours. It was
of a lively character , concerning the
action of the senate last night in di
recting the sergoaiit-at-arms to bring
in senators. Senators Brown , Hill
and B.iyard violently assailed the ac
tion of the minority in issuing the or
der , taking substantially the same po
sition expressed in thu protest of the
democratic senators which was filed
m during the debate.
Mr. Edmunds was the principal
speaker on the other-side , although
Messrs. Ingalls , Hoar and sovur.il
other republicans participated. Mr.
Edmunds defended the constitution
ality and legality of the action , and
quoted from the remarks of Senator
Morgan and others on lilo occasions ,
when _ an _ order wus made fur more
sweeping in its terms than thu present
case. 'Ihis order was signed by the
president of the senate and bore the
great seal of the senate. It directed
the sergeant - at - arms to bring
in certain senators named , while on
. .former occasion the resolution gave
tlie sergeant authority to go out and
compel the compliance of any
senator ho might capture. ' He
said the very men who now created
all the commotion over the dignity of
the senate were those who had strenu
ously advocated a more objectionable
order in 1879 ,
The protest filed by the democratic
senators was on the ground ; First ,
That said resolution was in violation
of < ho fifth section of the first artilo
of the constitution , which authorises
a Hruullor number than a quorum of
each house to compel the attendance
of absent members only when the
manner of such compulniou and pen
alty for refusal to attend have boon
provided , no provision over haviuc
been made by this aenata in any man
ner compelling the attendance of ab
sent members , n9r any penalty affixed
for their refusal to attend. Second ,
Because said resolution and or
der violates the freedom from ar
rest guaranteed to each member of
the senate under article 1 , section
6 of the constitution. Third , Because
the resolution and order violates thejun-
broken , unquestioned and honored
usa''o of the senate under which the
mombura now absent have paired and
absented themselves only under such
understanding. Fourth , Because said
rcsolutio was subsequently and with
out previous notice introduced and
adopted after midnight , with no op
portunity for debate , and is an un
warrantable and dangerous departure
from the line of precedence and the
constitutional government of this
body.
This was signed by Bayard , Vest ,
Hamp'on , Voorhees , Slater , Jones ,
Parley , Bock , Davis , ( W. Va. ) Brown ,
Williams , Swaino , Johnston , Ptigh ,
Pendletoy , Coke , Call , Morgan , Ran-
om , George , Marcy , Walker and
Jones , ( Fla. ) Senator George signed
with the following note : "I 'concur
in thu protoat with the understanding
that it docs not deny the power of Ui
senate , with a constitutional quorum
to proscribe arrest ns n moans of compelling
polling the attendance of nn nb
Bonteo. "
The debate wss continued unti
nearly 4 o'clock , when the whole subject
joct was laid on the table.
The Boraoant-at-arms immediate ! ;
telegraphed to absentees , whom ho notified
tifiod last night to attend , what nctioi
had been taken by the senate.
The nomination of Stratham for the
Lynchburg pottoflico cam'o up as the
next business.
Mr. Ferry Baid it was apparent tha
the democrats were determined thu
no action thould bo roichcil on thu
nomination , and in order that otho
business miqht not bo delayed woult
move that the nomination ho over fo
the present.
To this there was no dissent ant
the way was then cleared for the senate
ate to reach a speedy completion of Ha
labors.
The calendar was then gone on
with until the name of Pay Directo
Walmaugh , to bo paymaster genera
of the navy , was reached. Hero an
other hitch occurred , but the senate
was in no humor for a long delay am
the case was laid naido. One or twc
postmasters shared the same fate , nne
the last nurao on the calendar \ > K
reached. Then , with the doors stil
closed , although constitutionally it
open session , Messrs. Sherman ant
Bayard wore appointed wait upoi
the president and inform him that the
senate wan ready to adjourn. The
committee waa ' 'absent but a shor
time , and reported that the presidon
had rep ied that ho had no further
communication to make to the senate.
Mr. Bayard then offered n resolu
tion of thanks to the presiding officer
for the dignity and impartiality will
which ho had presided and it was
unanimously adopted , Mr. Garlant
occupying the chair temporarily.
Mr. Maxoy moved that the senate
adjourn sine tiio.
Before announcing the vote theE
resident pro t tern , returned thnnk
E ) r thu abuvu resolution and hoped nil
the senators would ? bo able to bo pres
ent at the next session and declared
the senate adjourned without day.
The doors were thrown open and
; ho announcement made that the BOII-
ito hud concluded its labors , which
had extended over a period of twonty-
ono working days , sixteen of which
iad been actual .working days.

APVAIKS QUIET AT TUB OAPITAU
"With the departure of most of the
enators and the president also , affairs
t the capital may be expected to bo-
omo very quiet. President Arthur
xpocts to go to Now York Wodnos-
ay or Thursday of this week and
probabl } ' remain until after the state
ilcction. Before he goes ho has some
fficial matters to attend to , princi
pally , the issuance of commis-
lions. It is also expected that hu
rill appoint his nominees for postmas-
ers who have died with the senate's
fission. Among those isthat of
atratham , of Lynchburg , whoso name

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
SECRETARY WINDOM'S PLAN.
WASHINGTON , October 29. In reply
ply to the question what , if anything ,
had been done by himself while secretary -
rotary of the treasury with a view tu
the establishment of n system of civil
service { reform , Secretary Windon :
to-day said that ho had j-ivon thu sub-
jcot vury careful consideration. It
had frequently been discussed witli
President Garfield who was earnest ! )
in faror of some practicable system
which would correct the eviU of tlu
present mode of making appoint
nients. The plan to accomplish ihi :
had not been completed when tlu
president ' vas assassinated. Subse
quently Secrtoary Wiudom hud
prepared u system applica
ble to the treasury departuunt
which was ready to bo promulgated.
Ho only a.wntted the recovery of
President Garfield to put it into oper
ation. One of the most serious ob
jections to the present mode of ap
pointments is that it tends to convert
departments into more charitable in
stitutions for the purpose of support
ing individuals who are unable tu
support themselves , The * fact that
applications are made in Washington
direct to the president aid heads of
departments induces n great many to
come hero with the expectation of
procuring appointments , and who
have onfy money enough to bring
them here , nnd find themselves
ittrundod in the city without moans of
support. The consequence is that
they at once appeal to their senators
and members , and other influences
they can bring to bear , to secure a
place. Finding them in this predica
ment , the senators and members are
obliged to gcjt them places or see
them sufloTE , , ho result of this
is.thnt very rnnnyapplications u'ro
based wholly upon the nocdsaities of
the applicants. Of the numerous ap
plications made to the treasury dn-
partmont during the last eight month ? ,
the secretary said lip would be safe in
asserting that five-sixths of them were
based upon the inability of the party
applying to support themselves. An
other objection to the present system
is that the best service is not secured ,
and the appointments nut piopurly
listributed. People who remain af
lomo , nnd who , in many cases , tire
must competent to discharge thu du
ties of an official position , have no op
portunity for entering the public iior-
; ico. Tiiuy are crowded out by these
who come to Washington to solicit
> laces. It is proposed to allot to the
itatea respectively , as the law
requires , the number of ap
pointments which each would bu
jntitled to in the treasury
department and to appoint a carefully
selected- committee of three in each
state whoso duty should be to meet at
suinu convenient place in each state
jiicp a year , and buforo whom any ono
desirous of entering the government
service should have a right to HppeuK
'or examination , such examination to
) o practical and relate to the charac
ter , experience und capacity uf thu ap-
ilicant to tliu duties of tliu position
o which appointment is deserved ,
said committeu to prepare n list graded
kccordini : to the merit of these who
uss examination and forward the pa-
) ers to the head of thu department at
Washington. From this examination
lorsous bhould bo selected from thu
load of the list , und only bu sent for
vhen the state of which they tire resi
dents should bo entitled 10 appoint-
nunts. It was further proposed ( hat
n making these selections from the
ist ex-suldiors or their widows or
ihildron should have the preference.
t was believed that this system would
; ive satisfaction because it would
afford a fair distribution to all the
states. While securing the best avail
able service it would also relieve thu
lopar'tmont at Washington from an-
loyancu and pressure which now con-
umes BO largo a part of the time of
ho president und cnbinut. The pro-
> osod system also made a provision
or promotions , upon examination of
application , according to merit , The
ocrotary proposed this system to
Present Garhuld at Long Branch a
week before ho was shot and he re.
; arded it witn much favor. It is be-
ieved that had ho lived some such
plan would hove beo.i applied to al ]
uparttnents and congress would have
oen urged to provide by law
ur n thorough and com-
> lute civil service reform.

DuiiLiN , October 30. A collision
between the police nnd populace oc
curred to-duy in Bolmullit , county
Mayo. The police were engaged in
escorting the ofllcers of the law to the
different farms in which they had been
ordered to servo writs of ejectment
ngvinst those who refused to either
seek redress for their grievances un
der the land , law or pay rents. The
district is strongly under the govern
ment of the land league. The farm
ers to bo ejected had accepted the
"no rent" manifesto as the rule. The
landlords sought tudross by procur
ing writn , and fanners to the
number of 700 banded together to
resist the writs. As officers would
not bo talked to or argued with a
melee ensued , in which scorosof shots
were fired , resulting in , the wounding
of a large number of officers who
worn finally compelled to retire , over
come by superior numbers of dcape-
rntn men. This successful resistance
is hailed with delight by the Irish ten
antry , and grave tears are felt by the
government here as to the effect upon
the immediate future enforcement of
ho land laws. It is a eigniiicuit fact
; h.it land lo.iguo . sympathizers , both
n Dublin and hero wore" firac tu be
apprised of the condition of affairs.

NEW YOUK , October 30. The Trib
une's London cable this morning says
, ho Irish outlook is decidedly but-

bearing date of Now York , October
25th says : I called on C. P. Ilun-
tington , vice president of the Central
Pacific railroad , ilo oaid that his en
gineers wore out looking for a line to
thu Missouri river , and that six weeks
ago ho would have snid positively that
lis company would build a line to thu
Missouri rivor. In fact , the rails had
joon bought , to bo delivered at San
Francisco. His road decided
.o build , from the fact that
the Union Pacific , with whom they
iad worked for n number
of years , threatened to invade their
territory by building wont nnd it was
.o retaliate that induced the Central
L'acilic to run lines to the Missouri
river , and now , however , thoru in n
.uospect of n compromise , in fdct , the
Urion Pacific claims that it will con-
ceuu with what is asked. Iu case
; hey do the Central Pacific will not
xtend east from Ogden , s6 Mr. Huut-
ngton says , and would not co-operate
with any other road at Ogden except

low 19 feet above low water mark
and about stationary. The land in
side the levees arc entirely flooded.
L'ho damage ia complete and incalcu-
able. This morning a tluod came
down Quincv bay , evidently let in by
the breaking oi the Indian Grave levee

several large log rafts , barges and flat
.touts were torn from their moorings
n the bay and floated down the river
at the rate of ton miles an hour.
Boats wore ntartod after the property ,

of water for several miles. This state
of affairs must continue for several
weeks , Even should the river go
down fast , it will take n long time to
repair the daningcs.
