THE SENTIMENTS OF SENATORS,

WASHINGTON, May g. 1874
In order to gain information regarding the feel
ing OF the Senate on the question OF the political
controversy and civil disturbances in Arkansas,
your correspondent to-day sought the opinions and
sentiments OF some OF the conspicuous men,
bers Of the upper house OF Congress.
The expressions OF all these Senators
which 1t has been practicable to obtain
will be found in detail below. In case the Prest-
dent takes no action in the NATTER but throws
the responsibility upon Congress OF working out
the puzzle. these views will be Of greater sIgnif-
canoe than even his own opinions or lnclinations.
The doubtfulness or decision with which the fol-
lowing ideas are expressed is somewhat peculiar to
the character politics or position OF each speaker,
SENATOR WINDOW. (REPUBLIcAN)
Of Minnesota, says the ArkapSas matter Ioots
little mixed and be don't know how 1t is going to
terminate. He Is going to study up the whole
case ana thinks 1t looks as il 1t might be brought
before the Senate. He seems to be In doubt as to
what view to form or the matter until he has in
formed himself more thoroughly.
SENATOR FRELINGHUYsEN, (REPUBLICAN)
Of New Jersey, asked inquiringly, In response to
question as to what he thought Of the news from
Arkansas, ''Has q demand been made upon the
President for assistance, or, in other words,
troops ~ He said he did not know anything him.
sell as TO what nad been done, but supposed that
when the demand was made and the President
had concluded which side to recognize then he
could send troops to their aid.
SENATOR DORSEY (REPuBLLcAN)
OF Arkansas, had been up to see the President
upon receipt OF kilograms from Brooks He thinks
that now the chances OF success In this contro.
versy are in favor Of Brooks, who, he thinks, al
though he was opposed to him during the election,
was elected by majority OF over 1000 votes, and
the case Is prfnd Jdcte one. He says that the
people do not want federal interference, as they
can take care OF the case themselves; II not, he
says let them fight 1t out themselves. The Prcsl.
dent would sustain the decision OF the Supreme
Court. He thinks that with this solution OF the
case he would then do as he did in the Louisiana
case--make his proclamation recognizing the side
which Is sustained by the United States courts,
and then leave the contending parties in the state
to fight out the issue among themselves In the
State courts.
SENATOR y CHANDLER, (REPUBLIcAN)
OF Michigan, don't think he would interfere except
to sustain the courts. He looked thoughtmy
over the subject, ana smiled somewhat as II he
thought there was no great occasion for the Sena.
torial mind to be exercised about 1t.
SENATOR JOHNSON (DEN0CRAT)
OF Virginia, thinks that the President will, per-
haps send in o message to the Senate, and he
would not think much Of II until it should come

therefor from representatives OF the contendtng
factions In this case but no conclusions have been
reached ss yet here.
NcoNsIsrENcY OF THE STATE SUPREME COURT
The decision of the Supreme Court favoring the
Brooks side OF the case, in such direct contradic-
tion OF lis previous decision that the Legisla-
ture had exclusive control OF the question,
has the efect OF auamenting the difficulties
under which the general government rests
in arriving at q solution OF the vexed question.
This new phase of the matter was talked OF at
some length in the Cabinet session, and the re-
versa OF the former opinion OF the Supreme Court
OF the state occasioned surprise.
RETICENCE OF THE CABINET.
No member OF the Cabinet has made definite
or positive expression OF opinion on the subject.
All the papers thar have been presented in the
case were read to-day. There may be some de-
csion tomorrow but there is no certainty OF it. as
the attorneys Of the dineren. parties are con-
tinually sending kilograms and presenting new
points and arguments which they are anxious to
have considered. A Cabinet oficer said this AFTER
noon that the government was heartily tired OF
the controversy. When its decision 10 made
proclamation will be issued which all viii under
stand must settle the question.

STORY About eoternor Mo,s,.

The Petersburg Va. hdcr tells q story
about Governor Moses, Of South Caro-
lima, which indicates that even before
the war that official was not . stranger
to dishonest tricksry. Moses was mar
RED in 1859. and went North on q bridal
tour. passing through Petersburg. On
his way back he lost q trunk containing
. part Of his wifs's wearing apparel. He
claimed $3.50 as compensation for the
trunk, which vas paid to him by the
Petersburg Railroad Company. The
trunk was soon found, and Moses was
requested to take his goods and return
the money. He replied that he had
duplicated the articles lost, and did not
care for the trunk. The company opened
1t, and, n the contents were found TO
be worth about one-fourth the sum paid
to Moses. they again notified him to re-
turn the $3.50 and take his articles.
Moses paid no attention To the request
until the war had been going on for some
time, and Confederate paper money had
become comparatively worthless, while
laces, ribbons and the other contents Of
his trunk had gone up greatly in value.
Then he closed with the company's offer,
and regainsd his trunk. paying the $3.50
in Confederate notes.

ton that an arrangement had been
formed. the Sutro Dependent comes
out this morning with an unequiv-
ocl Endorsement Of all three candi-
dates. II particularly eulogizss the
Democratic nominee for Congress

Elopement.

Early yesterday forenoon a young
couple from Bsrryessa. determined up
on sharing each Others joys and sor-
rows, came into the city for the purpose
Of having the twain made one. Their
names are Silas p. Lynham and Miss
Martha n. Lundy, daughter Of Daniel
Lundy, and their ages are respectively
twsnty-three and sixteen. Anticipat-
ing q pursuit from the ''old folks" they
lost no time in preparing fer the nup-
tails. Application was made to the
County Clerks Office for q marriage
license, and upon the oath Of the par.
ties that the young lady was eighteen
years Of age, the required paper was
issued by one Of the deputies. An ap-
plication wal made to David Bsldsn,
Judge OF the Twentieth District Court,
TO tie the knot, but the Judge, entertain
ing nervous doubts as to the age Of the
girl, refused to perform the ceremony.
The parties repaired to the Police Court,
where the fatal moose was adjusted by
Judge May. after which they returned
70 the Court-houss to have the papers
recorded. While the young man was
occupying a chair behind one OF the
desks in the Recorders Office, the pa
rents passed the door On their way to
the Shsrif's Office. but he was unob-
served by them. After the parents had
left, the young man departed. and he
and his young bride set out for parts un.
known. II seems that Miss Lundy was
greatly infatuated with Lynham. and
had threatened suicide in the event OF
her not being permitted to marry him.
These facts being made known. the pa
rents were counsslsd by friends TO allow
the young couple to go on their way
rejoicing, a. . prosecution OF the matter
In the courts would only add to their
troubles. and probably end In the ruin
Of the girl. II seems Miss Lundy eludsd
