The following story of the great Demo
cratic objector, Holman, is told by the
Washington correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer:
The amusing episode Of the day was Hol-
mans demand for an yea and nay vote at
fifteen minutes past one on the passage of 9
small claim. Nearly every member had his
little bill TO pass. There remained only
forty-ive minutes, and roll call was sure
to consume most Of it. Expressions of dis
appreciation came from all parts of the
hall. Members rushed TO Holman in squads
to speak with him personally, but the ruling
passion OF the great objector proved strong
In the expiring mOments of his congress
sional life, and the call proceeded. II is
safe TO say 3 quicker call Of she roll was
never made In the House, and it is safer to
euesa that Holman will never be able to get
many members Of the last House TO stamp
his diatrict. The roll call, however, simple
fed matters, for il cut on most Of the pri-
vaea bills. At quarter 70 noon HaElbut also
called for the yeas and nays on Morriaon' g
resolution. 1t was evident the call could
not be completed, but g progressed far

on the right Of the presiding officer. he ct
once began his address to the Senate and
was warmly applauded. He said:
Senators-O Official station ever brings with
it corresponding duty and responsibility
Service in analogous parliamentary spheres
has taught how delicate and at times diti-
| cult and complex are the duties which the
oath am about to take viii impose upon
me for President of the Senate. II is my
sincere purpose to lift myself entirely above
the elements!of partisanship, TO administer
its rules in their true spirit with scourteous
tirmness, and by all means in my power TO
facilitate and expedite its deliberations.

Postmaster General Key. i.

Ex-senator David NJ. Key, OF Tennessee,
is q native of Green county, of that State,
the county seat of which is Greenville, the
home of Andrew johnson. Mr.. Key is fifty.
four years old, a lawyer by profession, and
ranks in East Tennessee among the ablest.
From 1870, and up to his appointment in
1875 by Governor Porter, of Tennessee, to
fill the vacancy caused by the death OF
Andrew johnson, Mr.. Key presided ae
chancellor of the Chattanooga circuit.
He is not a politician in q party sense,
but q broad, liberal and national
statesman. During the war he COM
manded Confederate regiment, raised in
der. So elevated in his character that in
the recent election of United States Sena-
tor every member from East Tennessee in
the Legislature, including eighteen Repub-
licans and ten Democrats, voted for him
and were earnest in their efforts to secure
his election. The liberal Democrats and ex'
Confederate soldiers in other parts Of the
State also supported him. OF the
100 members constituting the Legislature
of the State, Judge Key received forty
five votes of which twenty-One we're Re
publican and tWenty-four Democrats. But
Judge KEYS opponents appealed to party
passion and effectually aroused it on his
speeoh, delivered in the Senate, in which be
condemned the Cronin fraud. This is az

character of Senator Key. The following
extract from his speech on the Oregon quea
tion, delivered December lS, 1876, in the
Senate, will be read with interest:
sSir, it Is time that We become infused
with more Of that charity which thinketk
no evil and is kind. Il is time that Va
