WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 90, 1884.
The Republicans of the Senate have
again nominated and elected Mr.. Ed
munds President pro tenn OF that body
notwithstanding that his resignation
was accepted in the early part of the
present session. The intention was to
place Mr.. Anthony in the chair, but his
health has compelled him to decline the
honor hence the decision to again
thrust it upon Mr.. Edmunds. The lat
ter is, of course, an able presiding off.
Ger, but doubt whether he would not
greatly prefer his old place on the floor,
where he always led in the debates and
made things uncomfortable for his op.
ponents by his sharp and incisive re-
marks. AS presiding officer, Judge
Davis, of Illinois, who retired last
spring, was not exactly model, but his
ego as you please" style was, on the
whole, rather popular, especially his
determination to adjourn in season to
permit him to sit down to his dinner at
six o'clock. Several long sessions of
the Senate, carried ten minutes, fifteen
minutes, or a half hour past six, annoy
ed him grievously. As the hands Of the
clock neared the hour for his dinner he
could not conceal his anxiety to get
away. Senator Edmunds has vein of
humor, and on such occasions did not
scruple to parry the chairman. One day
when bill, which had been for weeks
under consideration, was about to come
to vote, and six o'clock was near, the
Vermont Senator, purely in spirit of
mischief, suggested the propriety of
having the bill read, as many changes
had been made in it which required
scrutiny. Mr.. Davis was dreadfully
provoked. Tossing his head on one
side, and casting piteous, appealing
glance at the clock and then at Mr..
Edmunds, he protested, with all the
earnestness possible, in a voice that
came direct from yearning stomach,
"Oh. but it's very voluminous bill,
and it will take the clerk long time
to read it." The beseechipg voice
touched Mr.. Edmunds ; he relented, the
bill was passed, and Mr.. Davis trotted
off in temperate haste to the National ho-
tel to get his dinner, half an hour later.
