Special to the SENTINEL.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The galleries Of
the Senate Chambers were crowded to-day
on the occasion Of the special session Of
the Senate. The Senate was called to order
by Senator Harrison.
Mr.. Pendleton offered the following
resolution:
Resolved, That Thomas j. Bayard is
hereby chosen President pro tenn. of the
Senate.
Mr.. Edmunds said that Of course he
did not object to the present consideration
of tho. resolution, but he thought that
under the existing circumstances it was
his duty to present the credentials Of
Senators-elect, which he thereupon did.
The credentials having been read, Mr..
Edmunds moved that the oath of
Office be administered to these gentlemen
by Senator Anthony, senior Senator.
Mr.. Pendletan moved to lay the motion
on the table. The motion was carried.

dent of the Senate, for which he returned
thanks, and invoked the consideration and
cooperation Of the Senators. He referred
to the sad circumstances which caused the
call of the Senate, and said that the grief
which penetrates every household in the
land should soften party asperities in the
Senate and lead to harmonious action.
The action Of David Davis in voting
with the Republicans is the topic Of much
discussion. His vote will give the Repub-
licans a majority after the three Senator's
elect shall have been sworn in, and Repub-
licans have said that they were in favor
Of using their advantage to elect the Pres

ator who is on excellent terms with Mr..
Davis says the latter told him he believed
that the Republicans are entitled to the
Presidency OF the Senate, because they

dent of the United States, and that so

Large Retainers Wanted.
WARRINGTON, Oct. 10.-Scoville, Gull
teau's counsel, is much depressed by his
recent visit to New York. He found no
lawyer willing to undertake the case with
out al exceptionally large retainer. The
witnesses for his character refuse to
go to Washington to testify, although
many admitted that they would have to
say that they believed the assassin was in
sane years ago. The witnesses procured
here, viz the officers of the State, War
and Treasury Departments, to whom Gui-
teau applied for Office, will be obliged to
testify that before the shooting they for
bid his a~dmittance, because of their belief
that he was q " crank" 1t Is known that
all the attendants of Blaine's house, and
Of the White House, had orders to exclude
him and watch him on the same account.
Guiteau rejects Scoville's proposition to
employ Robert G.. Ingersoll as counsel,
because the whole Christian world would
be prejudiced.
Mrs. ~Christiancy Testffies I'm Her
own Behalf.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-Mrs. Christiancy

divorce suit o pending. Not being q
competent witness as to the charges OF

the room and came to her protection.

home.
BIaine's letter to Garfield.
NEW York, Oct. 10.-The Sun regards
the publication Of Blaine's letter to Gar
field, accepting the secretaI yship Of State,
as a new bid for the Presidency. It says
that James G. Blaine is at this moment q
candidate for President, and Is working on
his own account. He Is more dead in
earnest as q Presidential candidate than
he was ever before in his life. A few
months ago the events at Chicago seemed
to settle his chances forever. He was
probably sincere in his determination to
withdraw from the struggle which he had
maintained calamity, but fruitlessly, SO
long. The death Of Garfield has changed
the fortunes and future of many men in
politics. On no mans plans for the fu-
ture did II have a more radical effect than
on Blaine's.
