WASHINGTON, Nov 20. 1877.
THE BALL OPENED IN THE sxNATE-AoaREs.
sIvE MOVEMENT OF THE DEMocRA1s-rHE
ADMINISTRATION SENATOR'S WANTING TO KNOW
ABOUT THE NOMINATIONS IN coxMrTrxEs-
LIVELY TIMES ANTIorPArED.
A lively time has begun In the Senate The demo.
Gratis tired the delay about the Southern Senator
ships, to-day brought In a resolution discharg-
ing the Elections Committee from The further
consideration Of tho case OF Mr Butler,
Senator elect from South Carolina The first
result or this movement was . hssty promise from
Mr. Wadlegh, chairman Of tho committee, that he
would report the Sponord-Kelloeg within Two
days. Since the adjournment this afternoon the re-
publicans Of the committee have determined to
port on this case Tomorrow morning and, II possible,
claim precedence for ns consideration over tho
case Of Mr. Butler They intend OF courss
to report avorably for Mr.. Kellogg, the democrats
reporting = minority OF tho committee for Mr..
spo1ord. The republicans viii attempt to substitute
tho Louisiana for South Carolina CASE but it re-
mains TO be seen whether they succeed In this.
rhey evidently uneasy at the action Of the demo-
prats.
An incident Of the debate to-day was the crush
Ing rejoinder OF Senator Thurman TO some re-
marks by Senator Hoar, Who endeavoreds TO
make point that, under tho rules OF
the Senate, he understood the and certainly un-
der the rules Of the House, with which be was more
familiar, the Butler resolution not question OF
privilege. MI. Thurman, who In very happy
vein, replied that he had not brought II
mp as question OF privilege; that he
did not profess to know anything about
the rules but that he had long ago noticed that the
SnOa Vchn nhnn ct,xb~
Senate those who had bus recently come
there from the House. For his part he added he had
not sat IN the House tor thirty years and mad ior-
gotten about the rules but no had happily always
found tbe Senate to be assembage OF gentlemen
transacting business courteously and without the
need or constant reference 10 rules
1t isrumored tonight that executive session to-
morrow Thursday, repu blican Senator will move
that the Commerce and judiciary committees be re-
qured either 10 report at once the nominations
referred TO them that they be discharged from the
further consideration Of these nominations. Among
these those Of General Harlan, and the
New York nominations. II this - done it viii
ada TO the turmoil In the Senate already
begun by the motion In reference 70 Mr. Butler TO-
day. II is said that some powerful Now York demo.
eratic influences at work here 10 induce enough
democrats to vote against tho confirmation OF ths
New York nominations defeat them. II 10 probable
that this will fall not than two, or AZ most
three Senators beloved TO be willing TO commit
themselves in this direction.
The Paris Exhibition bill will come up in the Senato
tomorrow and may debated by tho republicans in
order 70 gain time An early adtournmept seems now
improbable as the democrats are determined to push
the Of the Southern Senators to decision be-
fore they adjourn.

and shall invite tho double standard nations In Eu.
rope to also appoint commissioners to mect them and
agree upon tho relative valuo Of gold and silver,
Congress. will probably bo adopted before

that the amendments adopted In the committee take
tho mischief OF the Silver bill. Senator Jonos

sion.

OF TIE BrLL-ITs PROSPECTS IN THE
HOUSE.
Tho Ewing bill Will como up tomorrow, and IL Is
found tonight that the debate, acrimonious as it has
been, has done good. Mr. EwiDg's own bill could not
get majority. With the Fort amendment
which allows unlimited FREQ banking and
which Mr.. Ewing accepts he thinks IL may
pass BY fifteen majority. But II tho senate were
ready TO adjourn sine die there IL good
lieve that motion In the House tomorrow to ad-
journ At would pass leaving the Ewing bill to 20
over 10 the session The debate It, which will
close tomorrow, has been notable for several good
speeches on tho side OF resumption BY Chittenden,
Hewitt, Garfield, Townsend, Hardenburgh, McCook
and Others and by tolorably brutal use OF epithets
on the part OF tho antrcsumpton for the lack Of
arguments. About thirty-thre democrats viii vote
against the Ewing bill aud about forty republicans
for It.

that the following members Will vote against tho

three from New Jersey, fifteen from New

Delaware. Two from Maryland, ono IRON
Georgia, ono from Michigan, one from ILLINOIS, one
