WASHINGTON BUIIFAUTIIEOMAHA Bun , ) M3 FOUHTBBNTUSTIIP.ET , WASHINGTON. D. C. . April ft i * r Senator Gray and his friends have sud denly lost the cheerful expressions they have been wearing for the last few days , and are now ns solemn us n grave yard. This chnngo Is duo , It Is said , to the fact that the senator , who has been confidently expecting to bo npjKinted chief Justice , has been Informed from headquarters thnt ho hns no prospect of receiving such nn honor , The Intimation Is supposed to have como through Secretary Bayard , who hns always been n patron of Gray , nnd Is understood to hnvo pressed his nnmo upon the president. Gray was en dorsed by nearly all the democratic senators nnd they wore sure ho would bo appointed. The announcement tlmt he Is out of the field rnuscs much surprise and Inquiry as to the reasons , which no ono ECCIUS able to give. He is eligible as to ago and ( pjallllcatlons , lives in the right locality , has the strongest hind of political back ing , nnd by his appointment the president could kill two birds with ono stone , for his retirement from the senate would Rlvo Mr. Bayard n chance.to return to that body which Is said to be desired by him. Some of Mr. Gray's intimate friends hint that ho has been betrayed by people whoso support ho was relying upon. Thuy make mysterious threats as to possible disclosures that will cause dismay in high places , but no amount of questioning can draw from them the exact cause of their anger. The specula tion Is that Mr. Bayard Is somehow involved In the mystery. There Is no doubt that Mr. Grny'H ' visit to Delaware last week was made in expectation of being appointed chief jus tice. That ho communicated this expecta tion to his friends there is also certain , and he gave them to understand tlmt ho had rc- rcccivcd assurance of his appointment. Ills disappointment nnd chagrin is therefore great. There seems to bo no doubt in thn minds of the senators who have recommended Mr. Gray that Minister Phclps is to bo chief Jus tice , and It Is saUl that on Monday morning Mr. Bayard informed Mr. Gray that such would b"o the case. The nomination was ex pected at the senate this afternoon , and will , It is thought , como in to-morrow. Although Mr. Phclps has said that ho doe not want the appointment , and that ho did not como home from Europe with any such notion in his head , it is nevertheless true that there has been some communication between him nnd his friends in this country since ho ar rived on the subject. The nomination will bo more'acceptable to the republican sena tors than those on the democratic side , for Mr. Phelps comes from u state In which no vatPfl could ho imido for tlio democratic party by his appointment to ( any o'llco and is considered ono of the mugwump clan. Ho is an old friend of Senator Edmunds , "who studied law in his office , and the latter being chairman of the committee on Judiciary , to which the nomi nation will be referred , can bo relied ii | > on to report it favorably and push It to a continua tion with all decent haste. The democratic senators say that by the appointment of Mr. Phclps a good opportunity to make political capital will bo thrown away. They do not deny his ability , but claim that he Is politi cally not available , and that the president might have selected for this office n man whoso democracy at least was not doubtful. Ono democratic senator remarked this after noon that Mr. Phclps bore about the same relation to the democratic party ns James Knssoll Lowell , his predecessor , did to the republican party , nnd was a "fair weather and if the ticket suits mo voter. " The jus tices of the supreme court are very much pleased with the selection , and J think would rather have Mr. Phclps than any other man. Ho Is well known to all of them. They recognize his ahillty , and ho will bo socially , ns well as ofllelally , welcomed Into the supreme court circle. iiiiiLinr.iiniu ) : : ON TIII : HAMi\\ni : . The committee nlso reported adversely the resolution over which Mr. Ulddleberger hns made HO much fuss , providing for the consid eration of the treaty in open session , and the senator from Virginia Is therefore very much exasperated. He claims that ho has received pledges from the members of the committee on foreign relations that they would report his resolution favorably , and says that ho has been betrayed. Hu Is particularly severe toward Senator Sherman , and delivered an ( uldrcss In a cloak room to-day and expressed his opinion of the senator from Ohio in terms thnt could not bo published in any re spectable newspaper. At once upon hearing of the action of the committee , Mr. Ulddlo- borgcr declared his Intention to vote against the Dakota ndmisslon bill , and notified the caucus committee ) that ho should vote with the democrats hereafter on every question that came up until the committee on foreign relations treated nlm with respect and rep'ortcdlhis resolution favorably. As ho hns the tasting vote in tlio tKHiPto nnd nt any tlmo can maku u tlu in that body on political questions , tlioso announce ments created considerable consternation on the republican side , and a volunteer commit tee , composed of senators who nro known to bo friendly to Uiddlebergcr , attempted to confer with him , but ho was not in a condi tion to bo consulted , and the more ho talked the madder ho got. The object of the sena tor In having this treaty discussed In open session Is to give him an opportunity to twist the British lion's toll , which ho always does whenever a chance is offered him , Ho claims to bo the representative- the senate of the Irlsh-Amerlonn organtzniionB. OATiS : TllltlUTKXS Till ! DIlll'CT TAX DIIJ. . Representative Gates of Alabama , who led the nlllbustcrs nunlnst the direct tax bill , was asked this morning what ho intended to do when the bill was taken up next Decem ber. Ho replied that the filibusters who ivcnt Into the .caucus did not make nny pledges and would notlmvo done so under any .iiireumBtanees. "When the direct tax bill Comes up again , " ho mid. "wo will bn nt It It VL have to flllibustcr to the end of the sos- ion , The bill will never become n law If there is any wny to prevent it , and If wo cannot defeat It by votes wo can do so by dllolory motions. When wo voted for the postponement In the caucus v-o did not agree that the bill should bccomo n Inxv or thnt any time should bo set for a vote upon its pas sage , and wo will never let it pass unless It ib amended so as refund to the cot ton tax that was paid by the people of the house during the war. It is an outrage to compel tlioso who loat In the rebelllr.n to pay the cost of their subjugation. " IIUl'AniMF.NT HAT. KOOMS.

EIGHT TO SEVEN OVER AGAIN The Dakota Bill Drifts Into a Re turning Board Dobato. THEY RESURRECT RUTHERFORD B John Khcrinnn Insists lie Could It end ills Title Clcnr Hut. Vest Showers Invective on the Whole Klcc- tornl Commission. Senate. WASHINGTON , April 18. The land forfeit ure bill went over as unfinished1 business , nnd nt 2 o'clock the Dakota bill came up and Mr. Sherman took the floor in Its support. Ho replied in nn impassioned manner to Mr. Vest's allusion to unfair methods in the elec tion of President Hayes. Ho claimed every suspicion ever cast upon the integrity of that proceeding had been repelled , and that It stood In history as a matter in which the re publican position could not bo Impeached. Mr. Sherman showed by the vote in the sen ate that the electoral commission bill was not a republican but a democratic measure. Twenty-six democrats had voted for it and only twenty-one republicans ; while the votes against it were fourteen republicans , ( In cluding himself ) nnd one democrat , Mr. Eaton , of Connecticut. The democrats were therefore precluded from assallim ? the bill as n partisan measure. lie declared his full conviction that Hayes had been fairly and legally elected , and that if by some hocus pocus Tilden had been inaugurated it would not have rendered Hayes' title to the seat any the less legal. He explained tlio incongruity of Packard not getting the governorship of Louisiana by showing tnnt that was subject to local laws Jind decisions and declared his conviction that Packard had been illegally deprived of his onlce. The democratic party had not only by fraud and violence sought to control the presidential clostion , but It had actually succeeded in pruning off of their ofllces the duly elected governor and members of tlio legislature. Then bo proceeded to read extracts from a speech made In the late canvass -by Sena tor Eustis , in which he declared It to bo the determination of the white men of Louisiana to solve the rate question without regard to northern sentiment. If that , said Mr. Sher man , was the desire and determination of the white people of Louisiana the constitution of the United States would have to bo changed. When it was said there must be n white man's government in Louisiana it meant a republican government. Tlio people of the south , instead of seeking to win the colored people by kindness , had maintained n , system of domineering , crime and violence. He had felt called upon to make this remark , partly to correct an historical error into which many persons had fallen and to show that not only did the re turning board of Louisiana have sufllcient evidence before them of fraud and violence and outrage in the election of 1870 , but that the present governor of that state and ono of its senators had confessed all and more than had evei'claimed by the returning board. If ever anybody had any doubt of the election of Hayes , that doubt had been removed by the admission of the very men who had par ticipated in the wrong of that day In Louisiana. Mr. Sherman continued his defense of Hayes' election nnd made a general arraign ment of the authorities of the southern states for intimidating negro vottrs. Ho was listened to with profound attention. Mr. Vest said ho denied the honesty nnd legality of that election. The question ho had asked about Packard and Hayes had not been answered satisfactorily. Mr. "Kest re ferred to tlio speech made in the senate by Ithilno , in which Ulaino declared the election of Hayes and of Packard were indissolubly - dissolubly connected. Mr. Vest passed on to the question of tlio Louisiana , returning board , and asked why it had been that every man connected with the returning board , from thu highest to the lowest , had been rewarded with pfllco ? There wns no page of nilmlnistrntian history that demanded more explanation than that which now stared him in the face. Ho ( Vest ) stood there to vouch that whatever had been done in the state of Louisiana on that occasion had been done , not to bring about an unfair election , not to trample on the ballot of any human being , but to defend themselves against out rageous and criminal conspiracy against their property at the hands of the men who had if ono there for the singlclmd t > ole pur pose of plunder. Ho criticised sarcastically the opposite sen timents expressed by Mr. Sherman in his two recent speeches at Nashville , Tonn. , and Springfield , ills. , and said In conclusion : "At the risk oven of the senators contempt I un dertake to say the American people never Will be satisfied with the explanation made to-day , but that like James G. Blalno they have already como to the conclusion it is Impossible ever for the ingenuity of the senator from Ohio to explain why the vote of Louisiana , as returned by the returning board , was good for the purpose of giving tlio electoral vote of Louisiana to Hayes for the presidency , but was not good enough for the purpose of giving it to Packard for the governorship of the state. " Mr. Sherman reiterated his previous state ments , and said in reference to Packard that President Hayes hnd no power of return to the legislature. After the democrats had Inaugurated their reign of tyranny to drive Packard out , it was not in the power of the president to recognize him without usur pation. Mr. Sticrman defended the mem bers of the returning board and declared acaln the colored pcopla in the south must bo protected in their rteht. " The bill went over without action and the Bcnato adjourned. iinusc. WASHINGTON , April 18.

Mr , Parker of Now York and others ojv- posed the bill as being weak mid Insufficient. Mr. Uuclmnan of NowOu'sey and others favored it. The committee had avoided providing for enforced arbitration because it meant en forced awards , and this wns going too for. Tlio debate finally drifted into tariff dis cussion , which continued some llttlo time. Finally , on motion of Mr. Cannon , the sixth cection , which provides for the appointment by the president of brinnU arbitration , was amended by substituting the words cummlhsioiicrs" for "arbitrators , " and "de cision" for "award.
