The Senate adjourned sine die on the I'd inst.
The proceedings were mainly devoted to a dis
cussion of Mr. Sherman's resolution expressing
the profound sorrow of the Senate at the death
of Mr.. John Bright. MI. Sherman suggested
the Committee on Foreign Relations, as
it's adoption might establish precedent
that would return to plague the Senate.
Mr.. Hoar eulogized Mr.. Bright as O. friend of the
United States and induced Mr.. Sherman to
withdraw the notion but Mr. Reagan immedi-
ately renewed it, at the same time calling atten-
ton to the false step taken by the House some
years age in passing resolution compliment
tary to a member of the German Reichstag and
having it returned by Prince Bismarck. The
motion was carried. Vice President Morton
tired and Mr.. Ingalls, was elected and sworn in
as Vice President pro tempore. The following

course of the session efforts were made
to remove the injunction of secrecy from the
votes on the motions to confirm the nomna-

and of Murat Halstead to be Minister to Ger
many, but they were unsuccessful. The further
consideration of the eXtradition treaty with
