taken from the body Of the young man
killed by the cars near Hungary station on
Friday evening were on yesterday brought
to this city and recognized as those OF G. A.
Moot, OF the Stats Gazette. From every
thing that has been aScertained concerning
Mr.. Noot's movements on Friday, and one
or two days previous, it appears that he was
not sound in mind at the time OF his fatal
walk into the country.

THE SENATORIAL CRISIS.
A Conference Between the Leading
Parties sInterested-The President
Appealed tO-PrObabiIiIy of Har-
mOny In Future Action.

WAsHINGToN November 22.-To-
night there WAS a meeting of Senator
Spencer, Gov. Packard and Kellogg, ex-
Senator West and Mr.. Corbin, the con-
testsnt of Buffers seat, at Senator Dor
sey's residence, to determine upon plan
OF operations in order 10 Illustrate the
successful carrying out of the tactics OF the
Democrats in the Senate. 1t was pro-
posed TO have Patterson determine
whether he will pursue the course taken
by him to day, and if so, measures will
be taken to get him out of the way,
under the requisltion of the Governor OF
South Carolina.
Senator Edmunds and Representative
Nc MILAN had an interview with the
President tonight on the situation Of
affairs in the Senate, and pointed out to
him the extreme necessity of cooperation
on his part in order TO save the ascen-
dancy of the Republican party in the
Senate. No decision WAS reached, but,
it IS believed that the President is not in
disposed to do what he consistently can
to assist the party in its extremity. 1t
Was admitted by officers of the Admins
tratIon, US well as by Senators who have
hitherto taken rather an extreme stand
IN opposition 10 the President, that the
differences should be harmonized At once,
and it is not at all improbable that the
experience of to. day will bring about a
reconciliation and restore confidence be-
tween the President and the party.

Vote Badly Needed.

WAsHINGToN, November 23.-At a
meeting of the Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections this morning,
Mr.. Mcmillan offered the following res
oiution, which was agreed to by n strict

to the Senate that VIM. 7. Kellogg Is,
upon the merits o! the case, lawfully en-
titled to seat in the Senate from the
slate of Louisiana, lor the term OF SIX
years, commencing March 1, 1877, and that
Henry NJ. Spotlord is not entitled TO "a
seat therein, and that the chairman Of
this committee bs directed to prepare
and present to the Senate a report &C
cordingly.
The minority will submit report
declaring Judge Spotord entitled to the
scat.
The clerk of the committee was or
dered to notify j. B. Eustis, OF Louisiana,
that the committee will be ready to con
slider his case on Monday next, and also
to notify Corbin and Butler, contestants,
from South Carolina, to file their state
men,s AMI arguments with the commit
tee forthwith, and to advise the commit
tee whether they desire to be heard IN
support of their respective claims.

LONDON, November % "A special
from Vienna says: So far from being
weakened, the CzarewItchs army now
consists of eight infantry and four cav.
alrv divisions, numbering from 10000 10
10000 men, and though 1t must cover
the line from the Danube 10 the vicinity
OF Turnuva, it would no. be easy for the
Turks to make much impression on It,
since the Russians, by forced marches,
can concentrate three or four divisions
on any given point IN - single day.
A Celtinje special says: Wounded
Montenegrins arriving here report that
on Sunday night, the division OF Piain-
vensz, while moving toward Scutsri,
found the Turkish forces intrenChed near
Ansmslitz, behind three lines of breast
works extending from the hills 10 Bay
ana An assault was made by SIX hun-
dred volunteers who carried the first
two liuos, but on attacking the third, they
found themselves opposed by n superior
force, and were beaten back with loss
OF between 20 and 80 killed and 100
wounded, when the attack was sban
doned. This affair shows that the state
ment that the right bank OF the river Is
entirely in the possession Of the Monte
negrins is unfounded. The location OF
the battlefield is half way between An.
tlvsri and Scutsri.
A Pera correspondent says the peace
party is increasing and earnestly en-
deavol ing to get some proper mediator,
but no distinct programme or definite
overtures are proposed for fear OF n
Illuminating refusal from Russia.
