Bauuded by Detectives.

NASHVILLE, TENN, April There is
great excitement tonight. The Senate is
without quorum, and to-day appointed
twelve detectives to bring in absent mem.
bers "deador alive" Theseventy-Gye days
otthe regular session expired yesterday,
and such . procedure Is not only nnlaw-
tul but foolish, aud the Republicans will
'notsubmit TO it, even lift causes bloodshed.
The Republican party in Tennessee has
made itself able to care for itself,
aud proposes to do 50. Tonight
great excitement was created in the
Maxwell House when an attempt was
made by detectives to enter forcibly the
rooms OF John Q. Houk and John j. Lit.
Teton, ir., where 1t was supposed twelve
Senators were confined. The detectives
and proprietors and friends stood with
cooked pistols, az supposed, and excite
ment ran so high that the police and citi-
zens were called in to make peace. The
Republicans are barricaded with an abun.
dance Of shotguusand propose to resist al
unlawful assaults at any peril.
Tomorrow Judge Reed, late ex.Con-
federate aud Republican candidate for
Governor, who came near being elected,
and who is ut present the Circuit Judge,
will imprison the Sergeant-at-arms OF the
Senate for contempt in not bringing an ar
rested Senator before him on writ
habeas corpus. This Is not Texas; It Is
Tennessee. The excitement is somewhat
allayed, but II the revolutionary Demo-
crats persist in their unlawful methods
there will be bloodshed.

New YORK, April S.-General Grant
passed a very quiet night. There was nc
recurrence Of the hemorrhage, and the
official bulletins Of the medical attendants
were quite reassuring. The rain poured
down in torrents at intervals, and the
only persons who paced the street were
the watchtul policemen and reporters.
About 4:S0 Senator Chatlee and us.
Grant, Jr., emerged from the house and
gave On encouraging report of the Gen.
erals condition.
General Badeau ssrolled slowly down to-
ward Madison avenue about 0 o'clock, and
in response to question said:
General Grant has passed a very easy
night and is now resting quietly"
General Grant sleeps or appears 10 sleep
at any and all times that suits his inclina-
ton, but last night his long rest began at
about midnight and until 5 o'clock It con-
tinued with little interruption. The pro-
fessional nurse attended the patient
through the night, while the family and
physicians gained considerable sleep. The
night was quiet one, with no alarming
symptoms or circumstances. About 5
o'clock when the General aroused himself
he stood upon his feet briefly, but did not
essay to move about.
1880 r. M.-General Grant has been
comparatively comfortable. during the
morning. He has coughed very seldom.

existed two or three days. How long his

Waiting for the Presidents Verdict.
WAslnSGroS, D. q, April SIT Is gem
orally believed that the President will
sustain Miss Sweet in her refusal to resign
her Office, Notwithstanding the fact that
some OF the Democratic mouthpieces char
acterizcd her conduct as "insolence.n In
his letterto George William Curtis and
others Of the Civil Service Reform Asso-
citation before his Inauguration as presi-
dent, Mr.. Cleveland said: "There is
class OF Government positions which are
not within the letter Of civil service
statute, but whichare so disconnectedw with
the policy OF an administration that
the removal theretrom Of the present en-
actment in my opinion should not be
made during the terms for which they
were appointed solely on partisan grounds,
and for the purpose of putting in their
places those who are in accord with the
appointing power" II that declaration
applies TO anybody 1t does to Miss Sweet.
Commissioner Black in his letter demand-
ing erresignation, says her administration
OF herofIice has been above reproach. The
Office pension agent is in no way connect-
ed with the policy Of CleyeIand's s admins
tration. In view Of these facts IL Is be-
lieved that the lady will be sustained in
her refusal 10 give up the Office just 10
make room for o Democrat. Her term
will expire in less than a year, and then it
will be time enough for Commissioner
Black to give 1t to one Of his friends. The
inference is made that the Commissioner,
now that he is mentioned as Senatorial
candidate in place Of Morrison. who has
been asked by his party leaders TO step
aside, desires to use tue patronage OF the
Chicago Pension office to aid his own can
didacy. !.
Talk OF running General Black as the
Democratic candidate Ia place OF Morrison
has been frequently heard where the po-
litical gossips are wont to gather, and this
effort 10 make room for Democrat who
wants Office, and in locality where he
could do Blacks canvass the most good,
seems TO be the outcome II. The Pres
ident has said nothing on this particular
case so far as can be learned, to show how
he intends TO decide, but bis letter and
past record with Just such cases warrants
the belief that he will sustain Miss Sweet,
Should he do so the effect on bureauchieis
will be wholesome, in that they will be
more careful hereafter in ordering the re-
moval Of worthy officials Just 10 make
room for Democratic ottice.seekers.

points by cadets Us 10 its effect on his
