language of that part of the House Silver Bill which

The struggle for political supremacy in the Senate

a hurry Resolutions Of the same character, and
not involving the political control Of the Senate,
have been debated months before vote
has been reached upon them; and there
is hardly any probability that the Repub-
lcans will allow n decision to be reached
on the report in question unless they have carefully
enumerated their forces and are certain of defeating
the schemes Of the Democrats. If they should at any
time lind themselves in the majority, then the DEM
ocrats viii be equally anxious TO postpone
a vote, ard nothing but continuous ses-
sion and trial Of physical strength would
end the contest. The Silver Bill, therefore, which
will certainly be discussed M great length before

SION.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON Nov. 22.-1he Senate Committee
on the Judiciary has taken the position that under
the Tenure of Ofice Act, the President had no au-
thority to appoint Wadron Marshal for the West
ern District II Tennessee during the recess of Con-
gress. Waldron was nominated at the special ses-
sion of the Senate last Spring This case went over
without action. The President reapponted him,
and sent his name 10 the Senate at the present ses
sion. Since the Judiciary Committee has begun TO
examine the natter the Attorney-General has
informed Waldron that his second appoint
ment was irregular. Waldron is here to
look after the matter, and to-day had an
interview with Senator Edmunds. chairman of the
Committee on the Judiciary. The latter holds that
Waldrons case was one covered by section l,769 Of
the Revised Statutes, by which, there no con-
sent by the Senate to his appointment it is provided
that the Office should remain in allegiance, and one
therefore. in which under sections no and LIP
Of the Revised Statutes, it is a high misdemeanor
either to appoint an officer. OF for any person to
cept the office. The penalty for either offence is
inprisonment for period not exceeding five years.
and fine not exceeding $4,000. OF course there
is no desire TO push this case, rs the element Of
intent TO violate the statute is altogether wanting
