large crowd attracted to the Senate to-day
by the Republican runner, alluded 20 in nv
dispatches last night, that rs soon as the
senator's from New York and Rhode Island
were sworn in Mr.. Bsyard was to be ousted
from his seat rs President Of the Senate and
Mr.. Davis, Of Illinois, elected In his stead.
OF course, this could only be done by Mr..
Davis refraining from voting. Mr.. Baynrd
took his seat as firmly as II no sugges-
tion in regard to the pcrmanency of his
tenure bad been made, either in the news
papers or elsewhere. The new senators.
on motion OF Mr.. Edmunds, were seated.
about three Democrats only voting in the
negative from the sound. A recess for a
half-hour was taken, and there was an evil
dent disappointment all through the crowd
IN the galleries, especially among those
Republicans who were eager for IN imme-
date unseating Of Mr.. Bayard. At the
expiration OF tie recess the body was
called together again, and a committee sp-
pointed to let the President know of the
organization OF the Senate. His Excel
leney, through this committee. informed
the Senate that he will communicate to the
body tomorrow message In writing. The
understanding is that he has ready, in
GLIDING army promotions, about five hum
bred nominations.
A PROTEST AGAINST THE NEW YORK SENATOR'S.
Mr.. Mcpherson presented a paper in re-
gard to the New York senators, which de-
clarcd: First. That the proceedings for
election OF senator's We're not commenced
on the second Tuesday after notice OF va
eaneies had been communicated TO the Lee
islature. Second. That at one Of the meet
ings Of the joint Assembly but Is out of
the 81 senator's were present, and notwtll-
standing this vote was taken and re-
corded. Third. That when both Lapham
and Miller were elected there was not
quorum of the Senate present. The
ease OF Stockton, OF New Jersey, elected
under similar circumstances and rejected
by the Senate, is cited rs a precedent
against the legality OF these senators.
Fourth. Senator Miller's moral eharac-
ter, they declare, is bad in that while a
representative in Congress he appeared
before the Ways and Means Committee of
the House and advocated continuance Of
the duty an wood pulp, himself being a
manufacturer OF the same; this in viola
ton Of sections 17Sl-'S2, Revised Statutes.

one member of the Legislature being I'M
der indictment now at Albany for this
crime. This is signed by nine members Of
the Legislature, the genuincss Of whose
signatures is certified by Michael c. Muir
ply, OF the First legislative district, New
York city.
JUDGE DAVIS AND TIE PRESIDENCY OF TIE
SENATE.
The rumOr continued after the adjourn
ment OF the Senate that Mr.. Bayard was to
be turned out and Judge Davis elected in
his place; but the Republicans did not go
into caucus this evening, but they will to-
morrow morning. The Republicans will
then determine whether they will offer
resolution declaring Judge Davis President
OF the Senate.
TIE SECRgTARYSHIP or THE SENATE.
The belief at the Capitol to-day was gene
raj that there will be no election OF Secre-
tarv Of the Senate until December, and that
Chief Clerk shOber will continue to act a.
Secretary. This was based in part on dc
cIarations reported TO have been made by
Messrs. Pendleton and Anthony, the chair
men of the Democratic and Republican cau-
cuses. No one, however, can tell what will
be done.
RUNORs IN REGARD TO THE CABINET.
II seems to be certain that Nessrs. Win
dom and NIacycagh viii leave the Cabinet
at once. and il Is therefore believed the
names Of their successors win be sent to the
senate this week, possibly tomorrow. Mr..
James. Il is said tonight, will remain in
the Cabinet for awhile to investigate the
star-route frauds, and that Mr.. Lincoln Is
the only member Of the present Cabinet
who viii be a member OF the next. The
formation of the Cabinet will give the
President much trouble and labor, for II
will be hard for him 70 please the friends
OF Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Conkling both. His
only hope is in being President himself.

tween him and Mr.. Blaine the intimacy re
ported.
