New York Times Edl.

|
Yesterday the Senate was unani-
mously Democratic. This is how it
happened: 4 Tho Democratic sergeant
at-lmms, having seen that the doors
were open, that tho deputy scrgcant-at-
arms was lin his place, and that the
snuif box on the desk Of the President
OF tho Senate was duly filed with snuff,
as prescribed by the Constitution Of
the United Statos, went calmly to
sleep in tho northwest corner OF the
Senate SChambcr. The Democratic
secretary of tic Senate was smoking Il
cob pipe in lis office, and talking poll
| ticsWith Senator Mcdonald oflmdiana,
who chews tobacco like q Kentucky
giant. The Democratic clcrks,wcrc III
their places, ana the chief clerk, also
Democratic, was rejecting OH the loss
l'of his months salary, the nia Int before,
ina little friendly game oftpOkcr, when
tho Democratic Senator from Ohio,
temporary President Of tho Senate,
came into tho Senate Chamber, and,
looking at tho clock, said, ""rhc Senate
will please come to ORDER" MIR. Thur
man is nothing if not polite. Mr.. B.
y. Wade ,towhen no e'SwQs'SP President of
thc Senate, ,Suscd to ssays 6"Illca Senate
l.Will come to orilcr,U dlld it, did not
make any difference to- him whether
the Senate pleased or not. Following
Mr.. THURMAN, was the Democratic
| Chaplain OF the Senate, mild manner
ed man, who invokes the Divine bless
ling at clio ratio Of So per day, Sundays
not included.
| Here, then was full corps of Demo-
cratic officers, but not ONO Senator,
| Democratic or otherwise. Every desk
was empty. Tho crgcant-at-arms
snoozed comfortably in his northwest
corner; the secretary smoked his cob
pipc and talked politics in his office,
and the Chaplaing glanced reproachtully
over the Senate, while tho chief clerk
rclnorsefully thought how much better
he could have played his hand if he
had "callcN' sooner, when tho tempo
5ary President OF the Senate tapped his
gavcl onethe desk md stcrnly COM
manded silence. 1t was an impressive
scene, and the Democratic Chaplain,
got up to invoke the Divine blessing
OH the empty desks, at the rate Of SO
per day, Sundays not Included The
present Chaplain 10 not of tho comnlu-
nicatiYe aid confidential sort Of Chap
lain, who, during tho late war, used
to inform the Lord every morning Just
how matters stood in tho field, accord
ing to latest dispatches. The D6mo-
cratic Chaplain Is great OH peace, and
he pours oil OH tho troubled waters
every morning, his chief petition
being one for the restoration Of friend
ly feeling, when the lion and the lamb
shall lie down together, and the Demo.
craticSmajority shall be so big that IL
will not he necessary to call any more

hoping that somebody would come in
