We have to fall back upon Shakspeare's version
OF the expulsion of Corioanus, as embracing more
briefly and pithily the bill OF accommodation
from the Executive Vatican denounced against
William II. Haywood, late OF the United States,
Senate AT about half past one o'clock yesterday,
pending the speech of Mr.. Webster and about
the time the great constitutional expour der was
expounding the effect of the proposed duties

consumption of North Carolina tar, Mr.. Hay

bsr, and shortly thereafter anxious state
of excitability, was apparent on tn demo,
cratic side of the chamber They~sathered
into groups, and there We're strange gesticuatons
among Them Of portentous vehemence-the Sc

free-traders we've under cloud. The news as
cendei to the galleries, and the people b gan to
90 out-the lobby members below logan to 20
out-the reporters heard il, and they stopped their
pens to discuss the monentous movemt mt Of the
refractory North Caroinian. Every thing was
suddenly arrested by the strange and dire intelli
gence, except the straight forward, strong and
massive current of Web,ter's argument. That
kept steadily on. Lewis, the chairman on finance,
perspired most copionsIy-McDuf walked the
man aisle upon his staff like a chaf,d and an
grv legisator-Calloun looked fierce lightning
-Speight inc ignant, and Bagby thunder-strcken.
Benton, alone OF his compeers, maintained an
imperturbable eqnanlml'y' almost amounting to
the most positive symptoms of the speedy disso-
luton of the subject, and the hurried con.uIta-
ton of the physicians was prophetic and lu-
gubrious. The constructive properties Of the
emetc had done the worst for tn, patient and
warm water and cantharides were now out OF
the question. The sick man, as from coup de so
eil, had suddenly expired. Totes quofies. lie was
l
ster-that in the midst of his speech against the
revenue bill of the administration Of 1886 one Of
the most confidential and intimate political and
personal friends of that administration, should
throw up his commission and retire in disgust
from its support.
Ala o'clock, amid mutterings deep and whis
perings, and dire forebodngs, the Senate adjourn
ed The chamber was almost immediately eva
cuated and the capitol Every body was anxious
to get into the street to ascertain the particulars,
for the particulars of any important movement
are always to be ascertaned out OF doors. Scarce
ly had we reached the avenue, before we caught
the current report, not ONLY of the resignation OF
Haywood, but of the arrival OF his successor, the
Hon. George E. Badger, from North Carolina,
while another story had it that Mr.. Graham, a
wing member from the old North State, of the
House, had his certificate as Mr. Haywood's sue
cessor, in his pocket. Upon moments retiection,
all these absurdtes fell TO the ground and the va
Gated place Of Mr.. Haywood, renamed vacated.
The Jeremad of Father Richie is only valuable
as an official acknowledgment that the tariff bill
is on sand bar. He frankly gives up the battle
when vigorous coup dc man might yet be worth
the experiment. And however Haywood may
be denounced for the step he has taken-he has
taken 1.-THE thing is done-and from whatever
consideration, the act will not be without strong
moral influence UPON the Senate, the party, the
Administration, and the county. The cry oil
bribery has already been raised, and one malig-
nant tale says that two hundred thousand dollars
was the purchase money. Think Of that, ye
generals OF =" the regular army" The fact is, one
universal howl of horror, generations, maledlc-
pervades the camp OF the no longer unterrified,
but terrified democracy.
The question is now, what chances are there
for the bill Father Richie gives it up. 1t IS
fore gone conclusion with him. The bill of Sir Ro-
bert is to be laid over We have only 70 repeat that
it continues to be our impression that the game Is
blocked Mr. Jarnagn will, it is expected, vote
for the postponement, though, if the question be
brought directly upon the bill, he considers him
self as under obligations TO go for it. He is UNI
derstood, however, to hold his vote upon the
issue, to cast, if possible the responsibility
upon the Vice President This will be hazard
Gus proceeding, one in which IL will be dangerous
to trust the question of the postponement In the
hands of Mr.. Dallas For so thoroughly is he as
ISOLATED with the fortunes Of the Secretary OF The
Treasury, that we doubt his being persuaded to
give even the term Of three months grace to
pennsylvania. Should il be ascertained, (as il
will be before the meeting Of the Senate again,
pro con) that Mr.. Jarnagn will vote against the
postponement, then We may expect prolonga-
ton of the debate for several days, until the
Governor of North Carolina (whigl can be APP
prised ofthe fact and n successor of Mr. Haywood

the vote which Mr.. Haywood will approve in his
heart, bat which in his heart he had not the moral
courage to give himself
