MONDAY, Dec T.

WASHINGTON, Dec THE senate ga-
leries were crowded with spectators to-day
to witness the opening Of that branch Of
congress There was an unusually large
number of new senators to be sworn in
counting up seventeen without the senator
from Florida, neither the name of Call
nor Davidson being on the printed list. At
neon the vice president took the chair and
the session opened with prayer by Chap
lain Butler. After this the vice president
laid before the senate the credentials of
the new senators, the resignation
of Senator Regain, of Texas, and the
appointment hy the governor OF that
state of Mr. Chiffon. Other credentials
were those Of Felton, California;, to ill the
vacancy caused by Hearst death; the res
ignation Of Edlnunds vermont and the
appointment OF Proctor, an the creden-
tials Of Call and Davidson, each claiming
20 be senator from Florida. After the lat
ter two were read Harris moved that they
be referred to the committee on privileges
and elections so the question might be de-
cided In the light OF a thorough investIga.
ton He asked that they be laid on the
table. George said he would not object to
this request but that tomorrow he would

to seat Call as the legally elected member,
After a few remarks the matter went over.
When the credentials of Senator BriCe,
Senotor.elect from Ohio were presented
Senator Sherman said: Before the oath
of Office is administered to Mr. Brics | de
sire to say that a large portion of the
citizens of Ohio contend that he was not
an Inha6itant of that state at the time of
his election and was therefore rot eligible
to seat in this body. Ga examining the
precedents (of which there are several
in the history Of the goyement and some
of them most important ones,) | am en-
tiIely satisfied that Brice is entitled TO be
sworn in on the rrima tacie face of his
credentials, which are regular In form !
simply give this notice, however, so that
being sworn may not be considered any
waiver or any misrepresentation or mis- On.
struction if the people or legislature OF
Ohio should assert and prove to the satis-
faction of the senate that Brice was not at
the time of his election an inhabitant of
Ohio. But make no objection to the
swearing in of Mr.. Brice.

appointed senators was then proceeded
