retary Hunt then introduced Gar.

LQUteS ana OenttSmeN: nave
the pleasure to Introduce to you
the President of the United States,
who will accept, in behalf of the
nation, this statue Of our illustri.
Gus naval hero.
President Garfield was greeted
with loud applause aud spoke, in a
loud, clear voice, as follows:
FelloW citizens: It is the singu-
lar province Of art to break down
the limitations which separate
generations of men from each 9th.
er, aud allow those of past gener-
ations to be comrades or associates
Of those now living. This capitol
is silently being filled up with the
heroes of other times. Men of
three wars have taken their places,
in silent eloquence, as guardians
and guards of the nation they
loved SO we'll; and, as years pass
on, these squares and public places
will be rendered more and more
populous, more aud more elo-
quent, by the presence of the dead
heroes OF other days. From all
quarters of the country, from all
generations of its life, from all por-
tions of it's service, these heroes
come by ministry and mystery of
art, and take their places and stand
as permanent guardians of our ma
tlon's glory.
Hon. Daniel w. Voorhees, then,
amid loud applause, advanced TO
the front OF the speaker's platform
and delivered u most eloquent ed-
dress.
| TINS Situatt0u Ia the senate.
WASHINGTON, April 25th. 1t is
severally conceded that the result
of the expected agreement of Re-
publican Senators to allow O few
executive sessions to be held short.
ly, will be, first, the ratification of
the Chinese treaties and soon af.
forwards the confirmation of sub.
stantially all nominations to which
no formidable objection is made.
There will then stand in the way
of final adjournment the contest
over the pending resolution for the
election Of Senate officers and
probably not more than six or
eight contested nominations, such
as those OF Stanley Matthews, Don
Psrdee, VIM. Il. Chandler and
Judge Robertson. 1t is now con-
sidered probable that some, at
least, of the Republican Senators
opposed to certain nothinations,
Will desire to leave them hung up
until next winter ana there are
several senators on the Democratic
eli 10 raoIxy 70 rd mi -
sort of a compromise proposition,
which, if adopted, would have that
effect and also end the struggle
over the Senate officers. They will
say to the Republicans; We have
joined you in overcoming the
deadlock on executive business BY
agreeing to contirm unobjectiona-
Bile nomination, now let us all
adopt some course in regard to the
Senate officers. Riddleberger and
Gorham are as Objectionable to US
as Robertson and Matthews are to
some of your side and we will
not permit you to force them
upon us. Nominate unobjsctionable
Republicans for Sergeant alarms
and Secretary and We will make
no oppcsltlon to their election.
You can tht3 elect your officers,
the Senate Y adjourn, and We
will all GO home. There is no
present probability that the Re-
publican caucus would consent to
any such proposition for change
of candidates; but, although this IS
undeniably true, it is not by any
means improbable that the contest
will at au cary day be quietly al
lowed to go by the board and drift
over to tho next session, together
with the contested nomination.; for
upon the approach of hot weather,
after the bulk Of executive business
shall have been disposed of, the
Senate Will undoubtedly dwindle
in numbers from day to day, aud
as the total atte ndance diminishes,
the chances Of an accidental or an
Intentional absence of some Repub-
lican, and quickly consequent ad-
jourHment sine die, may be expect
ed to increase, until some day or
other the adjournment may occur
abruptly.
