Mr.. Conkling objected, and the resolution
went over for day.
Mr.. Cockerell introduced resolution, which
WAS adopted, calling upon the Secretary OF
War to furnish the Senate with all the re-
ports above the month OF October, 1878, and

Bailey opened the discussion by going over
the history OF such cases, and showed that
Since the discussion Of the Lanman case,

never filled an original term.
| Rollins thought the precedents were the
other way: at all events, where there was
vacancy It should be filled. Hill made q long
speech covering the whole ground. His
strong point was that the executive power
to fill vacancies, conferred by the cOnstitu-
| ton, was circumscribed by the words (which
happens by death, resignation or otherwise. =
| Bayard followed Senator Hill and spoke in
| favor OF seating Mr.. Bell, and concluded by
saying that the motive which Influenced him
| In this case was simply his belief that the
Senate should have Its full representation
| and that this representation should be main
tained. The Senate then went into executive
session, and at rs adjourned.
