HOW THE MESSAGE WAS RECEIVED.

IBY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6-The reading Of the Presi.
dents message in the House to-day was listened to
with attention by n majority of the members, who
patiently remained until its conclusion Several
passages relating TO the subject OF poygamy in
Utah and other Territories received with visi
bic satisfaction by the Republicans and elected APP
plause from them. It was noticeable that no Demo-
Gratis allowed themselves to indulge in any marks of
appreciation. When that portion of the message
relating to pensions was read the Democrats be-
came deeply interested. and something OF n sensa-
tion caused by the statements regarding the
present and prospective liabilities Of the Govern
ment on account of the Arrearages bill which passed
Congress with so little consideration. Clerk
Mcpherson read the message In a clear ana delIber-
ate manner and with considerable rhetorical effect,
thus giving to what is usually perfunctory and
mOnotOnOuS performance air of int rest not often
attained of late years in reading productions OF this
sort
Influential members ofneither party were disposed
to pass Judgment upon the opinions and recommends
ations set forth in the message, preferring to re-
their opinions until after they had studied it
more carefully. The general Judgment of Repre-
sentatlveS, however, appeared to be that the hTst
message of President Arthur is able State paper,
quite up to the average of such compositions
The first part OF the Pr sidents message was lis
tened TO with close attention by Senators on b0th
sides OF the Chamber, as it was read from the
Clerks desk; but. as the reading proceeded, the
message being of unusual length many Senator's left
their seats or devoted themselves 10 other matters,
determining TO read it from the printed copies which
were supplied to them. Senators who were asked
to express their opinions of the document replied IN
general terms excused themselves with the state
ment that they not fully able to catch its lead
ing features il read by the Clerk. The hrst
opinions were generally favorable.

THE FULL REPORT OF PROCEEDINGS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.--When the court was
called to order this morning shortly after 10 o'clock
Judge Cox and Mr. ScOvle held short conference after
which Mr. scove returned to his scat and cOnversed
for several minutes with the prisoner The prisoner said
quietly: MAY it please your Honor have prepared
an order for the witnesses suggested last evening will
hand it to your Honor" Judge Cox received the docu-
ment but paid no further attention TO 1t.
Charles Farwela member Of Congress from Chicago,
was the first witness 10 take the stand.
Mr. scoville called attention 10 the dssensions in the
Repubcan party spring and then inquired whether
the witness believed those dissenscns did not threaten
the disruption OF the Republican party.
TO this question Mr.. Daydge objected and the Court
held that the question too leading.
The prtsoner-It rather abrupt way Of putting 1t.
You want 10 smooth the way, Mr. Scoyie, with prelim
nary questions; that the trouble you mad with Mr.
Davis you ought to ASK preliminary questions and not
get up the point at once.
Porter said that the prosecution had allowed the
defence go into this question Of the political situation
but they must not forget that this Of justice
aud prisoner was ON trial for crime.
The prsoner-Tbats the very point want to discuss
this morning.
Mr. Porter-If the Republican party in a state of
disruption IT could not be sustained by the opinion OF
WITNESSES sane or insane If there is any purpose in
this line of inquiry 10 show that the prisoner acted
the reasonable conviction Of actual facts and IL not
insane II the other hand counsel propose TO prove,
even by the opinion OF witnesses, tDa the fepupncah
party not In danger OF disruption and that 1t was
needfu to the Republic, will save all tronbe
by admitting that fact In behalf of the Government
Under that view OF The case your Honor WILL think,
waste more time in this Irrelevant and wild inquiry
Mr. scovIle-n the gentleman had made that speech
two three days ago might have saved the time he
talks about. 1 understand that the prosecution
admits that the differences in the Republican party did
not threaten its existence integrity. II that is ad
mtted that is all ask.
BIZ. Porter-I have made admission in terms intel
ligble to every gentleman in the courtroom do not
propose to adopt the my friend proposes. The
Republican party not In danger Of disruption IL

lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.l
WASHINGTON, Dec. g. The Senate IS already do
iuga rapid business. More than hundred bills
and resolutions were introduced to-day.
Tn" political situation in the Senate is unique,
aud IN marked contrast to that which existed
when the body last convened in extra
session. Last night the Republican SEN
ators met in caucus and made a merit of
necessity by determining to leave the committees
and the Senate offices as they were at the end of
tho extra session. The Democrats met in caucus
this morning and resolved upon practically the
s9mc cIII4e II procedure or ra her thcy likewise
resolved 10 10 nothing. Finally the independent
party. David Davis caucuscd by itself and resolved
formally b. hold on tO all il possessed.
This amcablr determination by the three factors
in the situation promises TO give the country quiet
buslness-lil,c session In one branch OF Congress.
The Republicans have majoritie- and the chairman
ships in Nh but five of the committees. The Demo-
Gratis have the two principal, and
a minority of the minor Senate offices excepting
committee clcrkshps. The Independent party has
undivided control of the presidency OF the senate
and the Senate Tc5taurlnt. Mr.. DAVIS took hlS
place uyoI the floor this afternoon for the purpose
of defining his position" This he did IN grace
constituted as pretty "straddc' ~ as human inge-
uuitv could easily devise. The parttsans upon
neither side were disposed TO gush with enthusiasm
about the position taken by the honorable ndepen-
dent Senator. hut they smilingY ackn'wledeed
that he ygs ma ,ter OF the situation aud could make
hIs opir ious effective. Mr. Davis. in his speech

speaker by raising points of order" and resorting
10 other parliamentary devices, and the Democrats
are apparently determined to take up the cudges
on behalf of MormOnism. The Delegates from the
territories were not sworn in yesterday and when
thelr names were called for that purpose this
ing the Territory of Utah was omitted. s. s. Cox
was immediately on his feet, inquiring sharply if
