ALL of the Presidents private
secretaries having been called to st.
Louis as witnesses in the Babcock
trial, Ulysses S. Grant, Jr., was
obliged to assist by taking message
to the Senate. When the young
man, who is only Is or 20 years old,
came under the gaze of that awe
inspiring body, he was so embar-
rassed as to make bad work with
the rather excessively formal cere-
mony that is gone through with on
such OCCASIONS. Of course the DEM
ocratic press regard it as quite the
proper thing to ridicule him without
mercy. 1t is damning illustration,
to be sure, of the imbecilty of the
administration, and the utter de-
pravity Of the Republican party,
that q small boy should have blund-
cred in performing an unaccustomed
task

FROM TIE SEAT Of LEGISLATION.
MADISON, Wis, Feb. 18th.

MA W 1875 - Co' -sH'
Dear Tribune: The Beneficiary
contested seat case terminated this
morning about 10 o'clock by Mr..
Gray being ousted On vote OF 40
to AZ, after one Of the hottest and
most vigorous contests ever known
in Wisconsin legislation.
Coming up Thursday evening. a
vote was reached, and announced by
the speaker to he a tie, as to 4s),
giving the seat 70 Gray. In the
Journal, as published yesterday morn
ing, it appeared, by counting the
names of those voting, that 81 votes
had been cast--40 for Bennett, and
4S for Gray--and that the speaker
had made a mistake in his announce
ment of the vote on the evening
previous. A resolution was accord
mgly introduced, asking that the
gentlemen's names be recalled, and
that each respond, on honor, how he
had voted, that the error might be
corrected Here commenced the
most INSCRIPTIONS fllibustering on
the part of the Democrats ever
known in this State Knowing as
they did, that a clear majority had
voted certain way, and that their
votes were lost by a mere slip OF the
pen by the clerk in adding them up,
they employed every means knewn
to legislative tactics to prevent the
error being corrected and 80 far
succeeded as to keep the House in
session until this morning l0o'clock,
without intermission. Being for q
hours under q call, the members
could not even go out to their meals,
but had to have dinner, supper and
breakfast brought to them. No bus
mess of any kind was done during
all that time and the card playing,
bacchanalian song singing, popping
of corks, and clink of glasses gave the
Assembly chamber more the appear
ance Of disorderly drinking house
than of legislative hall. The state
of things was fortunately brought
to an end by the capture of the
missing member, PAIL, who being
brought in, the call was dispensed
with, vote taken on the PROPOSE
ton to correct the Journal and car
ried--ousting Gray.
Mr. Bennett has been sent for,
and on Monday will no doubt appear
and be sworn. W. II. Il.

The House Committee on Post
offices and Post-roads have met with
a discouraging check in their inves-
tigation of the P0stotlice Depart
ment. After working hard for three
weeks, and expanding several thou
sand dollars in getting at all the
facts in certain corruption which
had been brought to their notice,
they have discovered tina: the frauds
they were working on were old
frauds--frauds which were unearthed
and redresSod by the Forty-second

at that the Democrats wish TO con-

doors.

HOW THE BASIN WORK EAs BEEN RUN BY THE
DEMooRATs-No ooLoRED M5N AND NO
REPUBLICANS NEED APPLY.
The statement of Mr.. @. O. Carpenter,
at the City Hall meeting, that there were no
persons employed on the reservoir, who
we're known to have voted the Republican
ticket last Fall is amply verified. When
the hands were taken on in the Spring,
many persons came forward, colored as
we'll as white, and of both parties, expect
ing, OF course that, as under Mr.. Canby's
administration, no questions about politics
would be asked. The names Of all
were taken. but when the selections were
announced, it was found that Republicans
had been carefully excluded. There has
not been, under Democratic management,
this year, colored man employed on the
basin, and there has not been any Republic
can who is known to have voted for the Re
publican candidates last fall. A party of
''street men," who, when Mr.. Coyle was
Commissioner, voted with the Republicans,
have been employed, but they claim to be
Democrats ard always to have been. They
are the persons whom McIntire named
over, the other night, in Council Ton
Maloney, Jimmy Maloy, Tom McC~ Fon
! Al q them fellowS"
Independent of this street gang, who are
not Republicans and never were, we car
only learn of two Republicans employed OF
the basin. One of these, it is known, die
not vote last Fall, and the other, it is be-
| lieyed did not.

NIB. HoFFEcKER WITHDRAWN, MR.. HIGGINS
RESIGNS, MR.. sPRUANCE APPOINTED.
After mature consideration of the sub
iect President Grant yesterday decided to
recall from the Senate the nomination Of
James Fl. Hoffecker, Jr,, to be U. s. Dis
trict Attorney for this State. This being
done, the resignation of Anthony Higgins,
Esq., was presented to him, and he then
nominated William @. Spruance, Esq, for
the place, Uice Higgins resigned.
The brief announcement sent by tele-
graph to the Associated Press, vest erday,
caused much interested comment, and gem
eral expressions of satisfaction that an ap-
pointment 30 excellent had been made.
A representative of the COMMERCIAL saw
MIR. Spruance this morning, and ascer-
tanned, in substance, that he will not de-
cline che place. The resignation of Mr..
Higgins takes effect when his successor
shall be qualified, and Mr. Spruance will
doubtless enter upon his duties in few
days. No doubt is entertained of his
promptconirmation by the Senate.
