WARRINGTON, March 70, 1919.
Another Act IN the Drama Concluded Movements
Behind the Scenes-Jealousy of the Friends OF
Mr. Clay.
The Senate is disbanded, and Its members dis.
persed. Another act in the drama is concluded.
Thus far have had but the skeleton of the play
the filing in of the plot, the most interesting and
difficult part of the business, is yet to be pre-
scented.
Mr.. Webster, of the committee of two, ap-
pointed to wait on the President to inform him of
the readiness of the Senate to hang up their fiddle,
unless His Excellency might desire few more
tunes to be Played reported this morning. that hav-
ing discharged their duty, the President had re-
make-that he rendered his respects to the MEM
beers OF the Senate, and wished them all safe re-
turn to their homes, and happy meeting with
their families: and after short executive ses-
sion, the Senate adjourned
The Office expectants hail the dispersion of the
Senate as the adven, Of better times, The axe Of
rotation has been getting rusty, and the blood of
the few CRIMINALS decapltated has coaguated upon
the steel. Now 1t is expected to be applied to the
grindstone every night, and to be kept in rapid
operation from day to day, till locofocosm is
weeded out from the high places, and the famish-
Ing OF the church dominant installed In the pews
OF the heretlcs ejected.
The last friends OF Mr. Clay are watchful, scon-
that his first duty is to Concate them; but while
he IS adjudged as looking to the main chance for
1882 he in turn Is watched closely by the friends
OF Clay as could be desired. And while Mr.. Clay
ton has sought the aid and support of Mr.. Webster,
they both nave reason to- suspect that Gen. Taylor
considers Mr. Clay as the greatest statesman and
noblest man that God ever created. But the old
Clay wings are distrustful, and the best OF them
keep of, to be invited to ofiice-indifferent whe.
Their they are called or motor they Indignantly
stand aloof, awaiting the hour of retribuuon.
Even Horace Greeley, who Judiciously came in to
the support of General Taylor at haf-past the
eleventh hour, falls back upon the dignity OF an
Independent reservation, and gives out distinctly
that he Is on the look out for the movements of Mr.
Clayton.
As for Colonel Webb, we are lost in admiration
at his discretion and confidence. He has been
he nearly all the time tor two months past he
has been junketing with the coenosctmti most in-
dustrlousy; and although the substantial luxunes
OF Berlin have been taken away, and notwith-
med him, nevertheless, though even Constantine

Col. Webb is the very approximation OF Jub-
late. lie does wear such a benIgnant cOunte-
nance he does appear among the Phansees and
the Sadducees, among the Jews and the Gentiles,
with such seli-compacent glow of satisfaction,
with such an air of irresistible fascination that
must conclude, we do infer, and have to believe,
ina, oo Jack and the cabinet are under the finger
ahd thumb OF the late candidate for the brigadier-
snip In the armies down In Mexico. He 1t was
that elected Gen. Taylor, and under this belief he
may well ABIDE his time, and look on with smile
at the struggles of the outsiders TO GET the ear Tor
moment OF the cabinet officer. Col Webb knows
that he is the man that cannot be forgotten, be-
cause OF his services, and because of the danger
OF his wrath 1t his claims are uarequued
And yet, believing that the appointment of Col.
Webb to the foreign grade to which he asplres
will not be awarded HIM, we apprehend that. de-
spite all that we have done and are DESTROYS To- do
IN his behalf, It will avail HIM nothing The CLAW

him-the free soilers detest him; and Mr. CLAYTON
would prefer Greeley for any office to which Col.
Webb may aspire, il we are not mistaken.
Some OF the original Taylo men at Richmond,
Virginia, have put up Charles Carter Lee in oppo-
stIon to Mr.. Bolts, to represent that district In
Congress But Mr.. Bolts will run; and unless the
originals withdraw their man, the best they can
hope for is the election OF Mr. Sedden, the demo-
cratic candidate. We are informed that Mr.. Bolts
will rule of the originals, and that his election will
be better Tor the administration than his defeat
even by the election Of an original Taylor man.
