SENATOR suTLEa's SEAT.
a Republican Eacrt IN the Senate to De-

Special Dispatch TO the New York World
WAsIuNGT0N, Dec. 35.-Ihe pend
ing question before the Senate when 1t
meets will he the resolution of Senator
Butler for q committee to investigate
the charges that he used improper
means to secure his seat. Mr.. Ed
munds Intends to supplement the FesQ7
luton by one proposing to inquire into
the legality of Buffers election, with
the hope, it is said; of uniting the Re-
publican majority ultimately to de-
clare the seat vacant The Republican
leaders hold, it is said, that Butler was
not legally elected. The interesting
question as to Ahether /. majority can
declare the seat vacant or whether it

come up. 1t is doubtful, however, if
the inquiry amounts to anything. The
Republican majority in the Senate will
be redu ell to one No when Congress
re-assemhles. Mr, Patterson saws to-
day that as soon as he is able to travel
he intends totaEe two months leave
of absence, and does not intend To as k
the Democratic side for pair, He
thinks that as the Republicans have
denounced him from his own side OF
the Chamber he owes them nothing,
and will therefore not go ont of his
way to protect their slender majority,
1t seems probable thata resolution will
be introduced into the House to inves-

Marrying for Money.

A late author very truthfully says:
"Gold cannot buy happiness. and the
parents who compel their daughters to
marry for station or money commit a
grievous sin against humanity and
God. And Il woman who marTieS a
churl for his wealth Will find that she
has made terrible bargain-that all
the gatherings of heartless grandeur
are phOsphOrescent gatherings of
cart-wretchedness; that her life will
be one of gilded misery, and her old
age will be like Il crag on the bleak
side of a mountain, where cold moon
beams sometimes glitter, but no birds
sing, but wild storms howl and hoarse
thunders roar, and through the sweep
ing storm shall beheard the stern voice
of the great God, saying: Your riches
are corrupted, your garments are
mOth-eaten, your gold and silver are
cankreed, and the rust of them shall
be a witness against you, and eat your
flesh as if it were fire. -

fuel will go long way in paying his
expenses. The salaries are sufficient,
but none too large. In the Summer
season, especially in cavalry, while
troops are in the field, the officers
have to MAINTAIN their field mess as
well as their families at home, and
this involves a double expense. 1t
would cost them little more to live if
they were with their family than it
does to maintain the family without
them: but the field mess is expensive,
and the officer returning from Il SUM
mer's campaign finds all the money
used uD. In winter they retrench
and save something, only to be eX-
pended the next Summer. Then,
again, ther changes of stations, and
the army officer must look out for Or
ders. His wife and children are not
by army regulations, an
when he moves he must move them
at his own expense. This occurs
generally once a year, but at best
every two years, and if he has saved
up few hundred dollars, it has all to
be expended in reaching his new sta

I know whereof l am speaking when
L say Mr.. Tilden is fully resolved
TO CONTEST HIS RIGHT To THE PRES

before the Courts. He has never for a
moment wavered in that determina-
ton. AS a preliminary step in that
direction he took the oath Of office on
the 4th of March last, and has been
swearing ever since, for that matter.
Not that he expects to succeed in
ousting Hayes from his seat, unless
in the meantime such change should
come over the political complexion of
things as to render such a result tDroba-
ble. But his object, in the main, is to
reopen the question for discussion at
the proper time TO have its effect on
the next National Democratic Conven-
ton. He expects to present such an
array of facts to the public that,
whether the legal points involved are

as to render his denomination in 1880
a fOregone conclusion. He has had
men i'll his employ, ever since the con-
test was decided against him, collect
and cOllating the evidence, and it is
the business of his life to superintend
the work as it progresses. He has a
private printing office of his own, |
with trusty men employed, sworn TO
secrecy, whose business it is to print |
the matter as it is prepared.
In view of these ssacts, it becomes an |
interesting subject of speculation what |
the effect will be if Hayes is
DRIVEN INTO THE DEMOCRATIC PAR
TY.
In that case it is not impossible that
we may witness the spectacle of two
Democratic contestants contending |
for the Presidential o1fice-an anoma- |
Iy not more startling than many we
have been called upon to witness |

But it is idle to speculate at this |
time. The main facts YOU can RELY |

Hayes Himself Proves the Truth Of Char

From the Utica Republican, Senator Conll.
linos Home OrJaD

ings Home Organ.
The Hon. William f.. Chandler Of
New Hampshire has made public some
interesting revelations of the manner
in which Mr.. Hayes secured the Pres
idency, and they will be found in de
tail in another part of this paper.
There have been whispers of some
such revelation as this, and the facts
have been bruited about i'll a vague
manner. Now they are given with
such proof, in the shape of names and
dates, as must not only call public at
tention to them tut evoke public
Judgement thereon.
That Mr.. Chandler tbs the truth
in regard To the bargaining, we have
no doubt. We are perfectly certain,
too, that the Republican party was
not priVy to the injnSticC, but acted i'll
good faith in pressing the claims of
Mr.. Hayes to his seat. There is
abundant evidences furnished by the
President himself as to his bargain
with the South. If Louisiana did not
give its vote for Packard, it did not
give lis SOLe fur Hays, since EaGll-
ards majority was very much the
larger of the two. Yet, in spite of this
fact, the President and his
friends proceeded, Immediately after
his election, to upset Packard and
give his place to Nichols. the Demo-
cratic claimant. The sanIr thing was
done i'll South Carolina. The troops
were withdrawn, Chamberlain was
left to the mercies of the shotgun
brigade, and his Legislature was dis
