HUTCHINSON SELLS RIs EXCHANGE SEAT
RESULT OF A COMPROMISE OF THE OLD CONTEST
OVER His PRnPERTY RIGHTS.

RESULT OF A COMPROMISE OF THE OLD CONTEST
OVER HIS PROPERTY RIGHTS.
Another chapter In the story Of William J. Hutchih-
son was finished yesterday by the announcement tha
he had sold his seat In tho Stock Exchange. goou
many people were surprised because they had not been
aware that Mr.. Hutchinson had any membership 70
sell 1t was quickly learned that the event was tho
result Of o compromise Mr.. Hutchinson was eA
pelod from the stock Exchange about six years ago
for obvious fraud In his dealings with his principal
customer John r. Duff, of Boston. The testimony Is
said to hayo permitted no possible doubt OF Mr. Hut
cnson's guilt, but the Stock Exchange made the mis-
take of declaring his membership forfeited The Ques
ton Of property rights raised promptly, and the
courts decided that Mr.. Hutchinson was legally a
member Of the board. He never exercised his legal
rights however, because 1t was made plain to him that
no could not trade on the floor The Stock Exchange
is not corporation and several times in its history
has attempted to evade the responsibilities of char
tered Institution, but its refusal to admit to fellowship
a member expelled for obvious fraud" was sufficient
10 condone many faults.
The sale of Mr.. Hutchinsons seat is the result Of
mutual concessions. The Stock Exchange had discov-
erod It's mistake In declaring the membership eschcated
and probably he had despared Of recovering damages
from a body not incorporated At the same time the
victory to be with the expelled member, for his
chief complaint was that tho Exchange had no right
10 rob him Of property rights Tho moral victory Is
entirely another question

SENATOR INGALLS, AROUSED.
HE WILL REPLY TO SENATOR VOORHEES, ATTACK
on TUESDAY NEXT.

WASHINGTON, April &c tSpeciaD-SenatOr In
gallss friends were somewhat surprised at the
fGure Of the Kansas Senator to reply to the at
taclzs made upon him in the Senate since his
Hancock-McClellan speech. He has studiously
refrained from any explanation or justification Of
his remarks made at that time, except such as
were contained in the letter written several weeks
later in which he stated that his remarks in dis
paragement of Hancock and Mcclellan were in
tended to refer to these men, not as soldiers but
as candidates Of the Democratic party. To the
animadversions Of Senator Blackburn and others
Senator ingalls, has made no response; he has even
refused to discuss them in private. But Senator
Voorhees, spread-eage effort seems to have
aroused him. The reference to clamorous kites
and crows and other ignobe scavenger birds" was
too much for the Kansas Senator. To-day at the
conclusion of the morning hour in the Senate he
came down from the presiding officers chair and
standing behind Senator Culom's desk, said:
Shortly after the Senator from Indiana began

through one of the morning papers to-day that
had been the object Of the Senator's animadver-
sion. A casual examination OF his speech seemed
To disclose certain omissions with regard TO the
relations of the Democratic party to the subject
of pensions to the war for the preservation OF
the Union, TO the reconstruction OF the Southern
States. to the Solid South to the recent elections
in Louisiana and to the issues and results Of the
coming campaign, which seem 10 justify reply.
therefore give notice that on Tuesday next at 2
o'clock. with the indulgence Of the Senate, / will
move to proceed TO the consideration Of the reso-
luton Of the Senator from Ohio
Senator Allison and Senator Spooner looked at
each other and smiled, and Senator Voorhees, bit
his lin for minute, and then, turning. whispered
something TO Senator Beck. Senator ingalls, re-
sumed his scat as presiding officer and the regular
business of the Senate proceeded.
