THE SENATE PROCEEDS TO BUSINESS.
Icy TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSRl

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Very little of an exciting
or amusing nature was expected from the first days
session of the Senate and no one was disappointed.
Senators began to arrive in the Chamber an hour
before noon, and spent the time In friendly greet
ings and gossip in the cloak rooms and floor The
tap of the Presidents gavcl at ~ O'Clock put end
TO the hum of many voices which filled the Chamber,
and brought Senators, officers and pages to their
feet, In which position they revercnty remained
during the prayer by the chaplain
When the President had resumed his chair and
had requested the Senate to come to ORDER" bust
ness began at once and without any other ceremony
petitions, memorials and joint resolutions were
forthcoming in great numbers and bills followed in
their turn. The measures proposed had familiar
tone dealing for the most part with subjects which
have long been under discussion in Congress There
were many petitions and memorials praying Con-
gress 20 take some action for the regulation of rates
of charges for transportation by railroads. They
came from widely separated localities. Senator
Shernan's three per cent refunding bill, and the
resolution by Senator Hale and duplicate of that
introduced last winter by Senator Blaine providing
for special committee to consider the mode Of vot-
ing for President and Vce-President,
were the most important measures. The resolution
introduced by Senator Ferry providing for
martial revision of the patent laws for the protection
OF innocent purchasers and users OF patented de-
vices is one in which Western farmers are deeply
interested and which they have for years been seek
ing to get action upon by Congress.
At five minutes past l the senate took recess
until half past 2. Upon reassembling, Senator Ed
munds offered resolution 10 continue the Senate
committees of last session. Senator Pugh proposed
an amendment placing the subject in the hands Of
the President OF the Senate to decide whether the
committee chairmansiups should be equally divided
between the two political parties 1t was laid upon
the table The desk of the President and those of
Senators Ransom, Hil of Colorado, and Coke were
decorated with handsome bouquets and baskets Of
flowers The galleries were only partially filled

DEMOCRATIC ELECTION METHODS.
InN TIL 70 D ,r.II 10 LIE THIRrNE.l


'fAsuISGToN, Dec. 5.-It was supposed two OF
Il rec years ago that no possible device for cheating
AT the ballot box or for defrauding majority oi IFS
rights had been left untouched in some parts OF the
South. The contest of Lowe against Wheeler oil
Alabama, discloses something new even IN TINS
well-workel field Of invention.
Mr. Lowe in his briefs, prints q circular when
was distributed by the Democrats just before the
election. The law, IT will be remembered, requires
that one of the three election managers shall be Il
member Of different political party from that to
which his fellow managers belong. At the last
election the Democrats adopted the plan of select
ing two sharp Democrats and one ignorant
negro at the polls, the negro representing the
Republicans. Just before election they IN many
places made the negro believe tha; il was unlawful
for him to serve if he could not read and by that
device or hy some other kent him away from he
polls The circular referred 10 was headed m
portant - and among other thing, it Instructed the
recipient "if any inspector or manager Of election
is absent see that a good Democrat takes his place.
This is important" Where this plan succeeded, ~
il did at many polls in he district there were only
Democrats in charge, and the ballot box stufiing
was carried on with npuuity, The letter Of tho
law had been complied with by the fact that one
Republican had been appointed. but it's spirit was
cyaded by the device which prevented him from
serving
The following unique circular, marked with ink
"TO be shown only to very d.crcet friends was
also circulated extensively but secretly by the
Democratic managers
DEAR SIR: As soon as the polls are closed in
form the inspectors of the election that the Lowe
tickets with Hancock electors on them are Illegal
Ihcv contain the figures lst ID, etc, designating
the districts Thcs, are marks Dr figures which are
prohibited bv the election laws l,cc Acts lS7S-7o,
page ~, and all such tickets shonl be rejected
when the votes are counted after the poll, are
closed"
The instructions were literally carried ont. T.c-c
isnot the shadow uf doubt that Nr. Lowe was fairly
elected. The same is true of Lynch and MacS'v,
ui"staLts for the ats Of thalueTs, OF Mississippi
nnd niLhLc OF Snuih lArnLima.
