FEDERAL LAW MAKERS.

Washington, Dec. Inappropriate
tribute to the memory of the late Vice
President Hobart was paid by the SEN
ate at the first session of the seth con-
gress. The session lasted only 80
minutes. After the adoption of the
usual routine resolutions and admins
tration to new members of the oaths of
office, Senator Sewell of New Jersey
presented fitting resolutions upon the
death of the vice president. The reso-
buttons were ordered communicated to
the house of representatives and the
session on motion of Senator Kean of
New Jersey was suspended. In the
course of the proceedings Senator Car
ter of Montana presented a memorial
from some of the members of the Mon
tana legislature against the validity Of
the pretended election of William A.
Clark to the senate" The assertion
is made that by corruption and bribery
Clark was enabled to secure enough
votes to compass his election as SEN
ator. The petition names a number
of members of the legislature with
the sums they are alleged to have re-
ceived, aggregating according to the

Friday night was partially carried out.
Objection to the administration of the
oath to Roberts was entered by Mr..
Taylor of Ohio. AS had been pre-
dicted, Roberts stepped aside without
protest except to ask if in so doing he
waived any of his rights. To this the
speaker responded in the negative.
There was no protest from any quar-
ter against the objection to the admin
istration of the oath of Mr. Roberts.
Mr.. Taylor offered a resolution to refer
the case to a special committee but Dy
mutual arrangement consideration of
the resolution was postponed for the
day that routine business in connec-
ton with the organization might be
transacted. The election of Speaker
Henderson, his induction into office,
the appointment of the usual commit
tees to wait upon the president and
the seat drawing contest, with its US
ual amusing features, went off without
a hitch. The only other feature out
of the ordinary was the adoption of the
Reed rules for the present congress
by a strict party vote. A joint COM
mittee notified the president that con-
gress was ready for business. A short
and sharp debate occurred on the adop-
ton of the Reed rules, Bailey (dem,,
