Ho is ono of the few echi lars of tha south , and has had , probably , a wider range of experi ence thin any nf hit southern associates. Ho is a native of Georgia , and is related to the family of Huwcll Cobb find other equally noted southern families. This family connec tion counts for moro in the couth than In any other part of the country , l.amnr Ins tin reputation of being very wito In matters of statecraft , although ho is not considered a good politician. Ho has moro breadth of view than any of his associate ? . Ho has nhvayalcd public opinion in his state , Hi ) tervcd n short time In congrcsi bcforo thn war , but he made no particular mark then It was not until after the war when ho returned to _ the house that ho made a national i imputation. Ills eulogy of Charles Sutnnor pave him instantly n national reputation. It was a very advanced view to come from cny south ern man ft ho had taken part In thn rebellion , That speech did more peihnps torestoro har mony between the north and south than any other 0110 caii'u. There was a rebellion ng.ilntt him in his own state on account of it , but he was sulliciontly a leader to bring his people around to his view after ho hud maio elaborate explanations at homo , HIH next marked public tccomplishmont was his diplomatic inanngemnnt of tha southern in terests in 1870 and 1877. It was ho whn con ducted the negotiations whereby the souther n Btatss qocnred their statn governments and Ilajea was counted in. Ho was conspicuous again for refusing to obey the instructions of the Mississippi legislature wliMi it n quested him to veto for an inflation bill bed ro the Senate or resign. Ho refused to resign and voted with the hard-money peop'o Lie can vassed the utato on that irsuo and secured fin al y the ondorsaiBunt of his people. Ho has probably more influence in the south to-day than any other ono man. He studied law at Macon , Ga. , and was admitted to the b.ir in 1817. Ho eo-n afterward moved to Oxford , Mass , This has been his homo ever eiucu. Hero bo has been lawyer , plantornnd professor during a lorg term of years. Ho wa first profeseor of mathematics and after the war wan professor of political economy _ and social science. From 1807 until his election to the forty-third congress ho was nrofossor of law. Ho only served part of the forty-fourth con- grets when ho was chosen to the senate , where he has been ever since , and where ho could without doubt , remain as long as ha lives. During tha war of the rebellion he was , until 1SG3 , a lieutenant-colonel In a Mississ ippi regiment. In that year ho was cent as minister of the confedrrate government to Russia. He was regarded by Mr. Davis as the ablest of the confederates , and was sent upon that commission because it wai regard ed as the most difficult. Russia was the most friendly of the European powers to the cause of the Union. Mr. Lamar is a widower. He has no for tune oiittide of his official salary. Ho lives very quietly. Ho is a man slightly above fiva feet ten , with a largo well-rounded figure. His head is large and thickly covered with gray ish-brown hair which falls in straight parall els upon each side of his face into a long roll , which curies in nt the back of his ntck. Ilia forehead is high and narrow. Ills eyes are brown and deeply set His nose is straight. The lower part of his face is hidden by a sweeping long mustache and heavy chin whis ker ? . His complexion is very sallow. He has the contemplative oir of : v student , and is fond of Eolitudo and reflection. Ho will often pass his beat friend without recognizing him when ho is in one of his brown studies lie is a very kinrMifarted man. The only criti cism made by his northern brethren la that ho ia a little too ready to defend his old colleague and associate , Jell , i/avif , upon the floor of the senate , rOSTMASTKn-OENEltAI , . Col. Win. F. Yilos , the young man eloquent - quent of Wisconson , was born in Madison , Win. , wiiore his father settled nt an early d.iy nd accumulated an ample fortune. _ Col. rilan' first political ventures wcro made in the residential campaign of 18(18 ( , when by re quest of tbo chairman of the democratic state entr.tl committee he took the stump for Soy- uour to the extent of makingspeochps in Mil- vaukeo and the puncipal cities of Wiscomin. lo was n comparatively young man and oung politician , and can scarcely be said to ave given promifo at that tiiro of hii after rilliant career. Ho was , however , in request hrough all subsequent campaigns , and soon OSQ to the front rank of impassioned pollticsl raters , until to-day ho has few if any super- ors in the country , Col. Vllas followed the fortnnes of the .wentythiid Wiiconsin volnntofr Infantry hrougbout the war , and was mustered out as lolouel or. the -1th of July , 1805. On return- ng ho tmbarkod in the profession of law acd rose r.ipidly to the front rank. Ho has been attorney for the Chicago it Northwestern rail- pad for a numb or of years. In the prime of ife , In perfect physical health , in possession of a fane fortune , with an established reputa tion a ) a fine public speaker , and withal n nan with line social qualitiesand correct iabit . there is no setting bounds to the pos sibilities which lie before him. ATTOKXEV GENERAL. Augustus- , Garland of Little Hock , Is n native of Tennocseo , although ho has lived all of bin lifo , with the exception of the first year , in Arkansas , He was well dtt-cribed by a friend as a very good mtn from n very bad stata. He Is 63 years old. Ho looks his ago , although his thick , dark-brown hair hiu liardly yet bojun to show any signs of gray , Ho is tall , deep-chested , broad-shouldered , invariably dresses in black , and to this day adheres to the soft slouch hat cf Arkansas life. Ho has a largo he.ul , His complexion le swarthy and dark , There is n solemn upon his face in repose which suggests the character of n great tragedian. His forehead is broad and hich , Ilia eyes are very blacV and deep-set under hoaUly-nhadei ! eyebrows , His noao is strong , straight and nearly Grecian In its lino. His mouth ii largo and thin-lined , Ho has a very deep licit voice. Ho Is considered one ot the ben ! speakers in the tenato. In private life ha I fonll of joking and delight ! ) in chilling bli associates. But ho never introducaa nnj pleasantry into his public speeches. Hi thinks that such lightening of the burden o argument has a tendency to detract from It dignity and influence. He is a lawyer fion thu crown of his bend to the soles of his fret The etudy of the Uw with him is a passion Ha can probably repeat more uuthantloa b ; thu pane and paragraph from his memory alonu than any lawyf r who practices before the improme coart. Ho la ouo of the most valued members of the senate judiciary com mittee , mid on account of his legal acquirement * is nlmost an intlniatu friend of Senator Fdinunus of Vermont , 4 al though the two IIAVO nothing In com mon upon the ground of poliUpj. Judge David Davis , of Illinois , when no was upon the supreme bench raid that Garland's briefs ranked tu high as those of any lawyer who practiced before that court. It is Garland's ambition to finally roach ? a place upon the iiipicmo bacch , Ho uniai nothing about politic ? , and is mere of a judge than n partisan. Ho Is a widower , with u number of children. Ho has no fortune , Ho lives in nery elmplo , democratic way , and will make no attempt at appealing in the rola of n society indlviduat If ho Ii in the cabinet. Garland U a very dignified man , with great self-postef slon , nnd would appear well In any society. He has received a classical education. He was educatsd first at St. Mary's nnd St JoscphV college in Kentucky. Ho * as admit * Ud to the pr.ictiei of law in 185. ) In Washing ton , Ark. In 1850 ho went to Little Koclr. Five years afterwards ho entered policlics for the first time. Ho was n member of tlia state convention In ISal that passed the ordinance ol Btcefslon , Later in that year ho was elected n member of the Provisional congress of the confederacy that nut nt Montgomery , Ala. , in May of that year. Ho wus after that made n member of the lower house of the confcdcr- nto couvrets when it met at Richmond. Gar- lai.d was later n member of the confederate BOiiato nnd was In tint body nt the time the rebellion clopotl. His people must have bten very fond of him , because ill 1807 they elected him to thoUuit.t _ States senate. Ho was re fused admission there fcocausn the state was not then regularly admitted back in the union , Ho madn a national reputation for himself by raising the constitutionality of tlio law icquir- ing lawyers to tike the test oath before fore being permitted to practice In the United States cojrtu. Ho won his case , us is shown in Vol. 4 of Wallace's reports of the supreme court. He followed the practice of law until 1874 , Ite was elected governor of Arkansas and by his great coolness and judgment was iollucntial In settling all the disputes in that etato ns to which faction should have control of the etato government. Ho wag elected to the United States nfnato in 1S7G , succopdlng Vowpll Clayton , Ho was reelected in 1883 , so hat ho has a place in tha fcenato which will ndiire ono vcar longer than the next admin- tration. From his great populai ity in his ivn state it is certain that ho could rttmnin in is senate the rest of his life if ho should o [ loose. But it is his legal ambition which iad him to giva up the ( enate. Ho has been no of the most loyal of the southern senatois nco the war , and has never been prominent the fooh < h political discussions in the ten- o when the old issues of the war have been irought up for partisian discussion. THE S12NATE. A CHOWDKl ) HOUSE. The galleries of the senate wcro crowded to he utmost limit today long before noon. At iromptly noon the vIcQ-preeident entered cm the door to the left of tha president's eak , accompanied by Kov , Doctor Butler , laator of the Lutheran Memorial church of , hU city. The galleries applauded Hendricks , hlch manifestation its recipient abruptly ; erminated with the gavel. Tbo senators ro&o , t this and Butter offered prayer.

Cleveland breakfasted early , completed his cabinet , and directed their names be sent to the senate. A number of orginl/ations visited the white house before noon. The justices of the United States supreme < premo couit , headed by Chief Justice Watte , called about 12 and were received in tha blue parlor , Members of the national demo cratic committee were next received.

The democrats are not very enthusiastic ever Cleveland's cabinet. They think the cast nnd south have had too much consideration , aud that the west had not had enough. Now York and Massachu setts is given three members Vvhilo the whole country from thu east line uf the Ohio to the Pacific const has only one , and not a very largo one at that , Thay sty Cleveland made a seiious mistake in not liavincr off Kndicott and putting on Thiirmhn ir McDonald. A prouilbcnt republican makes the point that Cleveland has taken all the brains of his cab inet ftom the solid south.

Special telegram ts THE BKE. SrniNaFiKU ) , Ilia. , Hatch 0. There was a disgraceful scene in the Illinois legislature to day , on the joint ballot after the republicans had voted for Logan nnd the democrats bad shouted "no.vote } , " the latter moved to ad journ. The republicans objected and moved for another ballot. ICiiubrough who was in the chair , said that there being no quorum'he would declare the joint asfsmbly adjourned. Vigorous protests were made by the repub licans. At one time the democrats feared tbat Kimbrouch would wqaken , so Jim Dun can , 'lorn Mprrltt and Cronkrite , wont on the platform and braced him up. After pretend ing tc consider the question , ho declined to littcn to the republicans and arbitrarily de clared the assembly adjourned. The republi cans protested against this despotic ruling and Senator Couch moved that Lieutenant Governor Smith take the chair , nnd Secretary Watson , of the senate wasoidcred to call the roll. He called , and the house clerk began to reai bills. Then the riot began. Kimbrough ordered the door keeper to oust Watson. The democratic shoulder-hitters got Inside of the clerks desk , and the democratic clerk , who is tv/ico the size of Watson , folded Watson in his arms imd shove * ! him outside v of the railing. All this time the members on both sides were ex cited and stood on tbo rjesVa and shouted , and yelled while the ri46 was in progress around tha'clerk's desk. $ Pandemonium was not a circumstance to thescene. Finally , nt General Logan's request , the republicans withdiew to the senate chamber. Another riot was then threatened In the corridor. The proceedings was disgraceful acd It looks as It the democrats intend to elect a Eenator by brute foice. Absenteeism used to bo the cureo of Ireland , but now it is iho curse of this legislature. Six repub licans wore absent yesterday , when there was a chance to elect Gen. Logan. Some of the democrats were angry enough at Halnos to have voted and made a quoium , which would have elected Logan , but Loiran's men were not on deck , as they should have been , and nobody can tell when they will an- wor to roll call. The democrats have not re covered from the shock they felt whcnllaines dropped Morrison yesterday , ncd reintroduced - introduced as a senatorial candi date hia handy fiinid and neighbor , "Dick" Bishop , of McIIenry county. Uaino's action left no doubt in the minds of Morrison's friends , that as a tena- totial candidate Morrison has teen his best days , and has polled more votes than ho will ever poll again. Morrison , who has been making a tolerable successful canvass , blun dered when ho started for Washington at the time ho did. That ho did notgo to attend the inauguration was evident , because ho did nol start in time , eoit was cincluded hero that IK went to bag the oflicos and bring'them bacli for distribution. It is not expected that there will bo an3 votes on the senatorshlp to-morrow , llepub licans are leaving for homo to-night. ( iov.

The senate this morn ing reduced in a marked degrco its pile of homo rolls , putting ten of thorn on their pas sage. What is known na the feeble-minded bill went through with scarcely any opposi tion. This bill appropriates SJO.OOO for lo- eating on Institution for feeble-minded youth atjBcatrico. The Wlnspear bill , for equalization of taxes , wts defeated. Houeo . .Roll101 , the salary and publicbuild- ing nppropriatlen bill , did not receive enough voles to pass it , with the emergency clause , on the first call. A call of the house wa ° then ordered , and made. Senator Love was tlio only absentee , and ho was brought Into the chamber in about fifteen minutes- The ill was finally passed by the following vote : Ayes Buckwortb , Burr , Cherry , Clark.

Sewers and Spencor-22 Nays Brown , Pilssn , Goohuer , Hastings , Hoebel , Howell , McShane , Metz , Mills , Slier win , Snell 11. The opposition to the bill was partly on account of the 81500 to the de tectives. The democrats all opposed tbo bill as a stroke of policy. Senator Dnrlaud was the only stray sheep of the democrats vho'supportcd the bill. The appropriation bill for state expeht.es was pjssocl without opposition. Pat McArdlo's bill , which was after the manner of a raid on the treasury , met with much opposition , but was passed. It Is one of those bills allowing a lot cf money to fellows for services rendered , and no man knows how , when or whero. Ic wai noticed that the State Journal had seve ral items in this claim bill. After the manner of "extras , " you know. It passed without the emergency clause. Bning near the close of the cession , the clerks are showing their good will for various eenatcrs and members by handsome presents. Senator Howe was presented with a very 6110 autograph album from the young ladies of the engrossing room , Their names we.ro written therein , and the whole affair in highly appreciated by the , senator from Nomaha. Senator Snell was the recipient of n neat Knights of Pythias charm from the proof reader , copy holder and dark of the printing committee , and seems to have made himself popular. Clerk Hollingworth , of the print ing committee , was in turn presented with a p air of gold spectacles by the young ladies of tbo engrossing room. In the houee , Leo ot 1'urnas , of tha committee on on rosEud and unrolled bills , was presented with a photo graph album containing the fas simile of the pretty faces of the young ladies of the en grossing room. Still them is more to follow. By a resolution this morning thn senators gave their waste paper baskets t7 the Homo for the Friendless. What the Inmates of that institution will do with them is no clfrr. t The usual resolutions have boon passed or- deilng the cergeants-at-arms to pack away His chairs and desks , and resolutions of thanks to everybody may be cxpeated soon.
