| Carolin,. Mr.. Hoar, IA member Of the commit
tee on risieees and elections moved to lay
| the motion On the table, which Il course was
tcs. question. Just as the vote was about to
be taken Mr. Thurman moved to 20 into exec
utivc session., which motion takes precedence OF
every other motion but the motion to adjourn.
Senator CoukIiDg immediate asked The rtpub'
licaus to make the latter molou test queS-
| ton, and the result o! the vote was awaited
with much iOteres. The mollon was carried
by vote OF 80 10 30. Oh the Senators whose
votes have been considered doubtful on the
contested cas,s, Messrs. CbriSaocy and Mat
;he5s voted with their party ASSOCIATES 10 the
negative. Mr.. N0novcr voted With The demo

fled that they will remain firm. A member Of
Mr.. Patterson family states that prominent
conservative officials Of South Carolina now
here, and who for personal rcsslns are anxious
hat Mr.. Butler should not be- admitted, will
make al offer to MORROW to detaln Patterson ID
court, so that he will not be present when tho
7utr !, taken in the Senate. There were freely
hln,:ird charges to night that the dcscrton oil
; Patterson and Conover from their party asso-
such charges arc very natural under the clrcum'
stances.
Should Nj. Butler bo admitted it will incVl:.

Senator uonk!lng was the centre piece OF &
group consisting OF himself, Senators Authony
/ Howe, Mitchell aud others. In his hand he
, held tally list, and, with the others looking
over bis shoulders scanucd eagerly one by one
the yeas and nays All that could be made ou
was that il every absentee had been present thu
majority of enc would still have been on thu
>amc side. 1t was demonstrated that the two
| carpet. baggcrs, Conovcr an Patterson, have il
y IN their power to turn The Senate one way or
{ tie other The situation is looked upon as s:
. grave that q telegram was sent to Mr. Blaine
= to right urging him if possible to return. Hi:
pair with Mr. Grover would hold until the re.
turn of the latter, but his presence and counsel
u and as+isuEc4 in debate Is desired. For 1t Is q
$ biz stake that the democrats and the rcpub

C control Of the Senate. If three democrats car
be put into the three contested seats nc

j cidcd. With this point in view they will, il
!, the notion to discharge the committee from
. the further consideration Of Buffers case be
carried, debate the question of his admls
r SION until the committee is ready to re-
t port on the case of Kellogg, and then it il
: their expectation that Conover and Patterson
wiIl vote for kellogg. With Kellogg 10, the
q cases Of Eustis and Spofori could be managed,
as they think, by the present majority Of the
: Senate IL is now most likely that these COZ
/ tested cases, If nothing else, will prevent az
q I'd i0ufnmcut Of this extra session before the
/ conqcpog OF tbs regular December session.
But those WAC expect speedy disposal Of the
5 contested cases may not be disappointed.

:, 4 PRICELESS TREAsURE-Iu the second
, week of May, 1877, there was toutd in the
.. olympia temple Of Xous, not far from the por,
trait statue of Roman lady, a colossal marble
= statu, OF 2 nude youth The lower portion OF
the legs and the right forearm are wanting.
With the left elbow he leaned upon the stem
Of a tree, supporting On his arm little boy.
, Of the latter figure, unfortunately, only the
lever part remains and the tiny haDd that he
, had laid coD6diugly on the shoulder Of his
I, bearer. Over the tree stem on which the arm
, that supports the boy is rested falls the drspery
10 rich, deeply cut and wonderfully worked
!, folds, aIfordDg to the arm soft resting place,
and gracefully hiding the support of the tree
stem. which in this position was technically
. necessary. The body of the youth rests with
= 40 easy negligence on the left leg, so that the
soft flesh Of the right hip shows, 10 manifold
dsplacemcnts, the play Of the muscles of the
blooming, youthful form. The head is marked
by the finest, most spirituazed youthful beau
ty, aud somewhat resembles the heads We see
90 the Vatican Nlcleagcr or the IIermcs Of the
Balvidcrc. The body too, resembles those
figures, only it is sendercr, softer, more viva.
