WAsHINaroN CRY, Feb. lst 1910.

In the Senate, on Friday, Mr.. Grundy re-reported
the resolutions of Col Benton, on the right of the
United States to assume the payment of the debt OF
the several states. An unimportant debate ensued
in which Messrs Grundy, Preston, Wright, Hub
bard, Merritt and Prentiss, of Vermont, took part
Before its conclusion, the Senate went into eXecu
tive session, and soon after adjourned.
The result of the election Of Public Printer has
created much dissatisfaction among the friends o.
Gales and Seaton; and Blair and Rives are MOI
satisfied with the way they We're treated, notwlth
standing they were elected. ,ar,
OF the whole number ofwhigs in the House, 10 did
not vote at all though ofthem in the city
and of the whole number Of administration men, IL
could not be induced go up and toe the mark they
were either frightened, or disappointed and 1t Is
difficult to decide which. If, however every wing
of the House had voted Tor Gales and Seaton, they
could not haze been elected unless the absentees OF
the administration party had kept out OF the way;
This however, they would not have done, fthey had
ascertained that the wings were going their entire
strength. There was good deal done in the par
ing off way and by resortng TO this mode of pro-
cedurc, many gentlemen escaped the responsibility
of vong-a responsibility not at all times desirable
by those who are anxious to dwell long time at the
capitol
1t is understood, informally, that the tellers APP
pointed to superintend the election of the Select
Committee on printing, had yesterday decided, that
Mr.. Edward J. Black, of Georgia, MIR. John w.
Davis, of Indiana and Mr.. John III. Prentiss, of N.
elected; and there are two vacancies to be filed,
according to parliamentary usage, by wings. The
election will be proceeded in, Monday, and will
be completed early that day should not be sur
prised, from what has taken place already, if the
wings on Monday should refuse to ballot at all
1t was proposed in the House on Friday, by Mr.
Graves of Kentucky, that the committee be COM
posed of two opposition and two administration
men, with Mr. Black for chairman and il was sup
posed, as the wings say, that the proposition would
be agreed to. The administration, however, mas
elected three men, majority of the committee al
ready, and left the wings an opportunity to select
and elect two. understand that the result has al
fOrded much dissatisfaction ana the wings may on
Monday rebel at it.
From Richmond, learn, that Mr.. Rives lacks one
vote of an election. There is one irpracticabie
wing, from Accomenee, the county IN which Nir.
Wise resides, who will not go Rives, and this pre-
vents his election II is thought, however, by ma
nv that Mr.. Rives will be elected after all
Mr. Grundy's famous report on Mr.. Benton's re-
solutions, will be called up again ON Monday, and
will create a furious debate. l shall endeavor to
get it,
Celeste is at our theatre playing to very bad hou-
The fact is, Washington is the worst theatre
cal place in the world. Nobody can expect TO draw
here. The earth is covered with snow to the depth
Of fourteen inches on the level.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2, 4 p. M.
BY letters from Harrisburg, we learn that on Sat
urday Governor Porter sent message to the legs-
lature respecting the state Loan All the banks ex-
cept the Bank of Pennsy lvsnia, declined take any
portion OF IT. The Bank oil pennsylvania TOOK
$780, 900 of it.
The Governor rec ommends the issue Of state stock
for the paymnnt of interest on loans, and suggests
Ienient course of legislation towards the banks.
The result of this fear will be to allow the banks
to 90 on over the spring business, expand as usual,
and then they viii be in much more difficult state
to resume than now. This message wiil inJure Coy
Porter more than any document he has ever set his
hand to. II is now believed that il the present bill
should pass he will veto it, Let him do IT and he is
politically ruined. The great mass OF the people arc
In fav Of resumption before the spring business
commences, and if il is prevented by the interior
ence of the Tossing democrats now at Harrisburg
they will fall and him with them
