THE SENATE EAGER FOR WORK.

LARGE NUMBER OF NEW MEASURES OFFERED
A RESOLUTION TO LIMIT THE WORK OF THE
SESSION LAID OVER.
BY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, March 19.-Bills and resolutions,
public and private, general and specific, important
and trivial in flood, were introduced in the SEN
nte this morning. and put temporarily to rest In the
committees or on the table.
Among them was a resolution offered by Senator
Edmunds. and which had been agreed upon in the
Republican caucus, providing that the extra ses-
sion had been made necessary by the failure of Con-
gress to provide for the expenses of the Executive
branch of the Government and the support of the
ARMY all measures not having reference to these
subjects be referred TO the appropriate commit
tees not to be reported back until after the assem-
bling of Congress in its regular session. This was
evidently intended to relieve Democratic Senators
from their embarrassment in regard TO the political
legislation to which many of them are committed
md Senator Edmunds, more IN grief than anger,
expressed his surprise when objection was made to
present consideration of this well-meant PROPOSE
ton.
Senator Burnside introduced, and had referred to
the Committee on Military Affairs, bill for the
reorganization of the Army 1t is the measure
which was prepared by the Burnside Joint Com
mittee of the last Congress. Senator Burnside will
propose few important amendments to the meas
ure in committee and renew his efforts to make the
bill law.
Senator Wallace introduced resolution calling
upon the Secretary of the Treasury for detailed
statements of the accounts of deputy United States
marshals for services during the last elections IN
New-York, Pennsylvania. Ohio. Massachusetts, and
Maryland. 1t went over under an objection by
Senator Conkling who, said that it was probable
that amendments extending the list OF States might
be added
memorial from certain citizens of Kansas set-
ting forth that Senator ingalls, had procured his
election to the Senate by bribery was read and re-
ferred to the Committee on Privileges aud Elec-
tons.
At quarter to !, the Senate having adopted the
list of committees agreed upon caucus. a recess
was taken for an hour. On reassembing, the
Presidents message was read. An order for the
printing of 5000 copies was adopted, after which
the Senate adjourned.

SESSION LEFT WITH THE DEMOCRATS
lBY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUSEA
WAsHlNGTON. March 19.-The message which
the President sent TO Congress to-day Is
spoken of here this evening as model
of terseness and drectness. Avoiding as
it does all reference 10 any legislation except
the necessary appropriation bills, and adding a hlnt
that Congress had better get away from Washing
ton as soon as possible, il relieves the Adminisira-
ton of all responsibility for long session. There
is legislation which ought to be attended
10 at the earliest possible moment; but
the President probably thought that II
he should recommend that ways and means be pro-
ydcd to prevent the deficiency in the revenues that
is now anticipated, Congress might take that as an
excuse for staying here all Summer.
The message of the President was as follows:
FfUor-cit.ca8 of The Senate and House Of Reprcsend-
tires:
The failure of tho last Congress to mako the
re0uiste appropriations for Legislative and judi
cal purposes for the expenses OF the several LXecu-
five Departments of the Government and for tine
a special session Of the XLNIth Congress.
The estimates of the appropriations needed,
which sent to Congress by the Secretary OF the
Treasury at the opening of tie last session, are re-
newed, and are herewith transmitted to both the
Senate and the House of Representatives.
Regretting the existence of the emergency when
reouiTes a special session OF Congress at time
when it is the general Judgment of the country that
the public welfare viii be best promoted by per-
manency our legislation, and by peace aud rest,
IcOmluend these few necessary measures to your
consideration. RUTHERFORD Is. HAYES.
Udshipgion, March 10, 1879.
Accompanying the Presidents message are esti-
mates from the. Secretary Of the Treasury They
are the same as those submitted at the opening of
the last session, with the exception of tho items
provided for at that session.

They may not be willing to give up the political

TWO or three committees will be appointed.

THE SENATE COMMITTEES APPOINTED AND THE
WAY CLEAR FOR BUsINEss-GossIP ABOUT THE
LENGTH OF THE sEssIoN--GENERAL NEWS.
The Presidents message was sent to Con-
cress Yesterday, and was read to both branches.
II was very brief and simply called attention
70 the two appropriation bills which failed
at the last session. The Senate COM
mittees were appointed by vote of the
Senate Yesterday. 1t is stated that the Pres
ident's Mesa &c leaves the responsibility OF
long session with the Democrats, because 1t
does not suggest any general legislation.
Mr.. Edmunds has proposed, in obedience to
the request of the Republican caucus, that no
general legislation be attempted at this SEES
sion. There is something of disposition to
accede to that suggestion. Charges have been
brought against Senator Ingalls, for bribery.

AN ISSUE WHICH STILL
LIVES.

LII lIO.
The Cincinnati Commercial is
quite out of line with facts in
declaring thatMr. Hays approx.
al of the Army bill disposea of
the bayonet issue. That bill
simply keeps troops from the
polls from July /, 1879, to June
80, 1880, during which time there
will be a Congressional election
in only one state. The great
principle for which the Democ-
facy in Congress has been con
lending for months against the
Republicans in the Senate and
and the House, and the Execu-
tive, is not finally disposed OF,
but the question is spassed to the
people for their verdict.
We will suppose that the atti-
tude of Congress and Mr.. Hayes
remains unchanged in this re-
gard, and that the Army appro-
Gpriation bill for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1881, will be
like the one just passed. That
will leave the whole subject to
be canvassed and the question
determined in the Presidential
and Congressional election OF
next year. In that canvass the
Republican record will have to
be squarely faced; 1t will be
shown that under Grantthe i fed,,
eral troops were used to control
elections, and that the Repub-
licans in the Forty fifth and For
ty sixth Congresses, IN both
houses, have put themselves
squarely and unequlvocally on n
record in favor of such use OF
troops.
Not only did the Radicals OF
the present house vote in favor
of using troops as a regular
police force at all the polls on
election days, but every Repub-
lican senator, with a single ex,
oeption, flibustered and voted
ogainst the Army bill because
Of the clause forbidding such
employment of troops, The Com
mercial will perceive that "the
bavonet issue" is by no means
disposed Of. The Radicals have
shown no disposition to let that
question be disposed of, as a
finality, except on their own n
tprms, Those terms are a full
concession Of the right OF the
Executive to surround any poll
ing-place with troops, on on ms
own motion, whenever a Chand-
Ter or a German may suggest
that such disposition OF forces
would be expedient.
When people decide to aoan-
don free government as an . eX-
neriment that has proven a fail
pre, hey may accept the ReRub-
lican doctrine on this question,
Until then they will give their @
sympathy and their votes to the
party that advocates the ooml-
nation of the civil power; TO the
party that has faith in the Peo'
ole, confidence in our lnstltu-
lions and courage enough 10
oppose the damnable heresles
that, if accepted, would subsl-
tute centralized despotlsm Tor
