THE SENATE.
Report Of Proceedings of the sen
ate in Extraordinary Session.

WASHINGTON, May 19-Mr. Kellogg
offered a resolution calling upon the
heads of the various departments for
information as to the names of OH
GERS. clerks and employees borne on
the rolls of such departments, to-
oether with the date of appointment,
State to which each is charged, com
pensation received, and whether such
Ulcers, &C., are white or colored-
H. spoke briefly in support of the
resolu ion, denying it was his inten-
ton to disturb any meritorious offs
GERS, bu, merely to give the Senate
all information possible as to wheth-
er each State has its proper quote of
officers.
When read, the resolution was
opposed by Mr.. Morrill, on the
ground that it would inaugurate a
scramble in the Senate to see if each
State had it's quota of clerkships.
Mr.. Plumb advocated the adop-
ton of the resolution, believing that
the Offices belonged to the people of
the United States, and that they
should be divided among the several
States. He offered an amendment
calling for further information as to
how many of such clerks Or en-
ployes served in the volunteer or
regular service of the United States
during the war of the rebellion.
After further debate by Mr..
Brown in favor and Mr.. Sherman in
opposition to the resolution, Mr..
Sherman moved to go into executive
session. Lost-yeas %, nays %.
Mr.. Plumbs amendment was then
agreed to, and Mr.. Kelloggs resolu-

stated that he was willing to let the
resolution lie over until tomorrow,

however, taking issue with Mr. Beck
on th point, the resolution was
taken up and agreed to without op-
position, and then, at 80, the SEN

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Dec. 18th. -
Senator Jones, of Nevada, passed
East to-day, EN- route to Washing
ton, with his family. The editor
of the Leader, in an interview,
asked if the Senator would accept
a Cabinet position. He replied
that he would not, and stated that
he advised Arthur not to make the
mistake of Garfield in taking Gait
met officers from the Senate. He
thought it wrong to appoint Sena-
tors because of the obligation to
retain them and the uncertainty
of the Cabinet term. Senator Jones

dom and the American Eagle. The
FIRE at the Ring tbeater in Vienna,
the other day, will have had at
least one good effect II it opens the
eyes of the people of Vienna to the
faults OF construction in their pub
lie edifices and to the inadequacy
Of their Fire Department. Any
Anne rican who chooses TO make
note Of this sacrifice of Hpwards OF
one thousand lives at blow, and
of the facts that the stairwsys
leading down from the galleries
would only admit of the passage
of two persons abreast and that the
doors ell opened inward, will be
able to stop any depreoiatory talk
about American public buildings
In the future. 1t would have been
impossible to have constructed here
any place Of amusement on the
model of the Ring theater of
Vienna without arousing the In
slant protest of the press of this
country. 1t is true that the late
disaster by fire in the Brooklyn
theater, and previous casualties
quite as bad, warn US. that we our.
selves have still much to do in the
way of Improvement and precau-
ton. But the most stupid of our
architects has not attempted, or
the most careless of our managers
permitted, the erection of stairways
which led to galleries intended to
contain six and eight hundred peo-
pie SO narrow as to make disaster
inevitable in q stampede. This
whole subject of the safety of the
theater-going public needs to be
taken energeticaliy in hand. Since
the Brooklyn casualty the precau'
tlons against fire have greatly null
tiplied, and for some of our leading
theaters it is claimed that they are
absolutely fire-proof. Fire is OF
such O tricksome and instantane-
GUS energy that mishaps at times
are unavoidable, but the stupidity
that would construct doors opening
inward in any church, theater,
opera house or other enclosed place
of public resort, ought to be pun.
ished as felony. Half the loss Of
life on occasions of disaster like
that at the Ring theater are refer
able to this cause.

THE correspondent Of the New
York Herald's description of the
wretch Guiteau at the conclusion
of his cross.examiDation by Judge
Porter is graphic and spirited to q
high degree. AS the miscreant
felt himself slowly but irresistibly
drawn into the tolls by the cour-
teous but relentless advocate, the
native ferocity which nerved him
to the assassination of Garfield
broke forth. His eyes snapped,
his teeth were barred like those of o
wild beast in its rage, and as he
stretched his arm out menacingly
towards Judge Porter few in the
audience doubted that if he had
had pistol in his hand he would
have repeated the drama of assas.
sination. While Scoville was
probably not able, to calculate the
depths of brutality and offensive
conceit latent in bis brother-in-
law, iS would seem to be pretty
certain that, in putting him on the
stand, he has sealed the assassin's
doom. 1t would be strange jury
