The Senate.
WASHINGTON, October 1st-In the Senate
to-day, the Presidents message announcing
the approval of the Chinese exclusion bill
was received and read. 1t was referred to
the Committee on Foreign Relations
Hale offered resolution Ieciting the cir
cular of General Benet, directing the dis
charge of Republican employees from the
United States ar enals, stating that under it
honorably discharged soldiers of the Union
army and widows and daughters of the
soldiers had been discharged, and directing
the Secretary of War to transmit to the
Senate forthwith full information as to
such an order, stating fully whether the
necessities of the department required that
the order should be issued, why the order
should be issued, and why public business
should be marked confidential.
Hale remarked that there was nothing in
the political history on record of the Sec
tary of War that would have led him
(Hale) to believe that he would have per-
mltted or authorized the issuing of such a
circular, exlsnding-for the first time
party prescription to women and children.
He did not know in the history of party
politics and party conflicts of an instance
where the dogma to the victors belong the
spoils had been carried to that extent.
Cockrell objected to the immediate con-
sideration of the resolution, and said that
he would tomorrow answer fully the re-
marks of the Senator from Maine and
would state what the Democratic party was
responsible for, and what it should haze
done long ago.
The resolution went over till tomorrow,
and the Senate took up unfinished busi-
ness, and after an executive session ad-
journed.
