The ab- surdity of the President’s position was never made so apparentais in the portrayals of Senators Ingalls and Harrison, and the assenting nods and approving smiles fre- quently seen on the democratic side of the chamber proved conclusively that many, if indeed not most, of the democratic Senators did not agree with the false and untenable position into which the Presi- dent has permitted himself to be deluded. It is known too, that his first intention was to frankly respond to the call of the Senate and send all papers called for on file, bearing upon the cases of suspended officials. But the popular explanation is that the peculiar responses to Postmaster General Vilas‘ secret circular urging the formulating of “charges" in cases where a democrat desired a postofiice held by a republican postmaster, would not bear the “clear sunlight of publicity." The argu- ments of these Senators are worthy of every man’s reading. The‘issue between the President and Senate is clearly stated and shown to be an assumption of auto- ” cratic power on the part of the President and a moral and legal sight on the part of the body that must “consent” to these changes in the country’s civil service, to all the sources of information bearing on cases of removal filed in the departments. In response to Senator Ingalls’ resolu-' tion of inquiry as to how many postmas- ters of the fourth class (not requiring the Senate’s confirmation) Mr. Vilas had him- self removed, the Postmaster-Gencral in- forms the Senate that from March 4, 1885 to March 3, 1886, he has himself remained 8,635, and states the inquiry would sooner have been answered except for the “extraordinary demands on the time of the clerical force of the postofilce depart- ment.” As SenatorIngalls computes these “removals" to be at the rate of four every hour and one every fifteen minutes for every working day of the entire year of this democratic “reform" administration, he justifies the Postmaster-General’s asser- tion that his clerical force must have had most "extraordinary demands" upon its time for there are thousands more changes in this class of smaller postmasters, grow- ing out of deaths, resignations, &c. The Senator characterized the Vilas circular as “the most thoroughly degraded, defiled, cxccrable and detestable public utterance" ever made by any official. It was an invi— tation, he said, to every libeller, cvcry anonymous slandcrer, and scurrilous de- famer to pour sewerage into the postoflicc department. Senator Ingalls was followed by Senator Harrison of Indiana, a grandson of “Old Tippecanoe,” who concluded a speech of masterly ability with the accusation as to the treatment of the Administration on the soldiers of Indiana Mr. Harrison said he had got returns from all the counties of the state except four, with the following information: Thirty-three Presidential postofiices that had been held by Union soldiers had been vacated by removals, and of those who took their places only ten were soldiers. In the whole state 361 soldiers and eleven sqldiers’ widows had gone out and ninety soldiers and one sol- dicr’s widow had come in. He then read from the report of the Washington en- campment of the Grand Army of the Re- public, commanded, he said, by a demo- crat. The report stated that nearly 40 per cent. of all persons discharged were ex- Union soldiers, and that this action of the Administration amounted to ostracism of the boys in blue in favor of the boys in grey. * When the Postofiiee Appropriation bill came up in the house Mr. Burrows of Michigan, gave Postmaster-General Vilas a terrible scoring for his persistent viola- tion of the law of last session in regard to carrying mails in American vessels. The Postmaster-General had not only defied the law but from the beginning until this hour the head of the department had sought every opportunity, not how he might exe- cute the civil service law, but how he might defy it. , _ ’ At the last executive session of the Sen- ate several postmasters were confirmed. They were cases of republicans removed against whom no charges were filed and who were turned out solely for political reasons. This is in compliance with an informal understanding of the postoflicc committee made some days ago with re- gard to such cases. In all cases where the commission of a republican has expired the Senate promptly confirms the newly appointed nominee of the President with- out question. There is and never has been, any wish or attempt on the part of the republican majority of the Senate to delay any proper democratic nominee’s ap- pointment. When the Logan bill for an increase in the numerical force of the army came up in the Senate for consideration Senator Platt in about a ten minute’s speech made one of the most crisp and convincing ar- guments made in that body this session. Our Connecticut Senator is growing into a confirmed habit of saying something whenever he talks. THE NEGRO MASSACRE. Mr. Hour on Friday introduced a bill providing for the holding of inquests in cases of murder under national authority. It was suggested by the recent massacre of thirteen negrocs at Carrolltou, Miss., and according to reports from both repub- lican and democratic sources a wanton and unprovoked crime had been commit- ted, resulting in the death of a large number of citizens, in which all the vic- tims were of one race, and, ,1le presumed, of one political party, and all the murder- ers of another. Such occurrences, unfor- tunately, had been of frequentoccurrence, bift, when investigated, were apt to take a political turn. Persons defending or apologizing for them said they had no political significance. Still the fact re- mained that it was the opponents of the Democratic party that were killed, and that adherents of that party were the murderers. This bill was to supply a method of inquiry which would be re. moved from politics. In reference to this outrage Ex-Senator B. K. Bruce and cx-Congressman Jno.'R.' Lynch, of Mississippi, called on the Presi- dent stating that they had received num- bers of letters from colored people in that section, who are almost paralyzed with fear by the outrage. A number of them had fled to the woods, and it was to-day unknown how many were killed and had died of their wounds. The attention of the President was directed to the fact that the governor of Mississippi had taken no official action in the premises. The President, it is reported, expressed him- self in decided terms against such affairs as a blight to civilization, and expressed himself as surprised thatithe state authori- ties had taken no steps to have the but- rage investigated, and the guilty parties brought to justice. In reference to this visit, the Republican, of this city, thus truthfully comments: “The President is undoubtedly sincere in all that he says to Messrs. Bruce and Lynch about the ,mas- sacre. And yet there would be no Demo- cratic "President in office to day, no Democratic party in power, but for southern solidity secured by the means formerly of Norwalk and brother of Capt. adopted in that state. Horrible as mur- E1105 Kellogg, stopped over 8 day on his derous imagination. His cross-examina- tion before the Senate Pension Committee has left him in a most pitiablc condition as a convicted and self-confessed slandcrer of other men’s characters, and if he has any feeling he must realize the emotions of Hamen when be mounted the gallows , he built for Mordecai. Since . his advent as the head of the pension ofiice he has, removed hundreds of maimed sol- diers whom he found competent 'and faithful clerks and has replaced them with Confederates, and worse, Northern Cop- perhead sympathizers with rebels. There is here an Employment Committee of the Grand Army, and this organization reports that the soldier element constituted thirty per cent. of the employees in the depart- ments when this Administration came into power, and that of the recent dismissals forty per cent. has been of Union soldiers, and this Committee asks: “What great unpardonable political sin have our com- rades at this late date committed to cause a boycott to be placed.upon them f” The committee found these removals were not made because of inefficiency or by reason of a reduction of force, and adds: “Nor is this the worst feature of the case, had as it may be. Not satisfied with looking with disfavor upon the “boys in blue" it has sometimes seemed as if the “boys in gray" were to be ;recognized as prodigal sons returning from their wanderings for whom the fatted calf was to be especially ‘ devoted. We have seen acomrade whose army record was of the very best, and whose civil record was irreproachable, degraded from a high position that he won by meritorious service, and his place filled by one who was in armed rebellion against the Government." Referring to other cases of this kind the committee quotes a “remark made by one holding a prominent position under the Administra- tion," who said: “The soldier business is played out." The committee states that it was only able to get ten soldiers reinstated after constant importunity, although much misery and suffering was caused by the discharges. In his examination Com- missioner. Black admitted with a chuckle _of self-satisfaction that of his new appoint- ments 90 per cent. were democrats, and the other ten he did not knowtheirpolitics, but presumably they were mugwumps. By common consent no more ignorant or brutal partisans errorfimanagcd public do- partmcnts of this government tha'n Post- master-General Vilas, and “ Physical Wreck” Black of the pension bureau. They hafi both most conspicuously vio- lated the civil service law, and most no: toriously the law which gives "preference ments, and protects those they found in the government employ from discharge. The new admininstration has certainly forced these two public acts, created and enacted by republicans, into something more than an “innocuous desuetude." The people of this great nation, grateful to those who saved the Union, will put its heel upon such outrages, ingratitude, con- spicuous sympathy with the aiders and abettors of treason, and such despicable partisanship and deceit. socrarr. The president gav’e another mid-Lenten “swell dinner” at the White House, and though the display of flowers and cut glass and mirrors were just as elaborate as hitherto, be dispensed with the blare of the Marine brass band on this occasion. His supplies of “baked meats" and varied hucd wines were as ample as ever, and so the absence of .the music was not com- plained of. Friday, His Excellency slip- ped away unbeknown to his household or Private Secretary Lamont, and hicd him- self to the sporting club house ofthe Santo Domingo club, a little north of Baltimore. Here the president was feasted on terrapin and canvas back, “green sea " and “Widow Clequot" till so late an hour of the night, that he remained over all Friday night and Saturday at the club house. The fear is expressed that Mr. Cleveland has found the "winter festivities” of Washington so- ciety too many for him and that he is relapsing into his former democratic practices, and his friends, the “mug- wumps,” arc admonished to have a closer care of him. Several southern and western democratic papers have published with an apparent air of joyful relief, that the president in his letter of acceptance pledged himself not to accept a second term. This is an error. An examination of that carefully prepared document fails to reveal anything of the kind. But though undoubtedly working for a “second term” there is little fear of his ever attaining it, “child of destiny" though he may deem himself to be. Mrs. Secretary Whitney has issued 400 invites to a mid-Lent ball at her palatial residence here on Thursday of this week. The Catholic and Episcopal churches are usually well attended, but balls and parties are also more largely patronized than in previous years during Lent. PERsCNALs. Secretary Manning was stricken with an attack of apoplcxy last week, but as he has rallied, hopes are entertained that he will recover; Overwork, over-feasting and the vile air of the unvcntilatcd treas- ~ury building are given as thccauses of his critical illness. Rev. Dr. Childs preached at the Church of the Covenant, here, yesterday. Mrs. ~ ‘Childs has been visiting friends in Boston. While Senator Ingalls was pouring out his volleys of hottest shot on the hypocrit- ical pretenses and practjces of the admin- istration cx—Senator and ex—Governor J as. E. English entered the senate chamber and was escorted to a seat beside Senator Voorhecs. Governor English is joyously continuing his as yet uninterrupted honey- moon herc, but the excoriation of his party he was compelled to hear from the sarcastic and drastic Kansas senator must have made him feel a little uncomfortable because of the fact that he knew and must have felt that every word uttered by Senator Ingalls was true, alas, for his party, too true. The state department is in receipt of in- telligence of the death of Captain Joseph W. Willard, a former resident of New Haven, but for the past ten years U. S. consular agent at Santa Cruz, W. I. He was about 45 and leaves a wife, a son and several daughters. - Anthony Comatock was here last week seeking an amendment to his obscene lit- erature law so as to stop up one of the avenues of escape to the vile rascals who use the mails to carry on their soul des- stroying trafiic. He stepped off at \Balti- moreon his return, and addressed by invi— tation an immense meeting composed of the best and most prominent citizens of Baltimore, who had met to organize a so— ciety for the suppression of yicc. A monster train of excursionists from Boston to Washington arrived here last week, among whom were some eighty Connecticut people, who boarded the train as it passed through the state. Mr. and Mrs. Bradley of Meridcn were here last week. Mr.B. is the senior mem- ber of the well-known manufacturingfirm of Bradley, Hubbard & Co. 0. M. Ray- mond of Danbury and Wm. H. Griswold of Connecticut were also here. Carlos A. Holcomb was last week sent to the Senate as postmaster at New Hartford. Minot C.

HonsE—Concurred with the senate in E passing bill amendin providing for planting of forest trees: bill in relation to duties of insurance com- missioner. Bill passed amendin law on marriage certificates to be un er oath. The committee on appropriations report. ed a deficiency bill for the fiscal year, 1886, of $71,000; and a bill making appropria- ‘ tions for the judicial expenses of the state for the fiscal year, 1887. Mr. Graham, of Orange, called from the table the bill pro. " ticut excursionists went down to Mount Vernon on the steamer Corcoran Friday. The steward thought he would be prepar- ed for such a rush, so he laid in some $800 worth of wines and beer for the party. But when the boat tied up after her re- turn trip all the wine corks were untouch- ed and all but three glasses of the lager remained in the kegs. This steward will not make a similar outlay for a New Eng- land crowd again. The same paper says: “The guests that have attracted most attention at the Ar- lington this week have been the bridal couples, Ex-Gov. English and wife, of Connecticut and Addison Cammack and wife, of New York. Both the grooms are aged millionaires and both the brides are young and pretty girls, so there has been no end of gossip about them, and every- body in the house has been anxious to see spring in the lap of winter.” ' Miss Ingersoll, daughter of :Ex-Gov. C. R. Ingersoll, who has been spending the season with Mrs. Representative Mitchell, has returned home. Hon. David A. Welles who has been for some time a visitor at the palatial resi- dence of Hon. Gardener Hubbard, of Bell Telephone fame, has recently disap- peared and there is great inquiry for him among those expecting office from the 3d Connecticut district, he having that par- ticular duty especially in his charge. The chief mourner just at this time is one S. H. Thresher of Norwich, who is here pleading for the poor privilege of serving his country in the capacity of Secretary of ‘Legation to some foreign court. He can’t find Mr. Welles, whose .tag is neces- sary before any consideration is given to applicants for office from Col. Wait’s dis- trict, and so Mr. Thresher, like thousands of other good democrats similarly ambi- tious, seems to be “badly left.” Greeley of New Haven were in town to- day. Gen. G. is just returning from a winter’s BOJourn in Florida. Senator Hawley left for New York, Sat- urday evening and has not yet returned.

Bill, reported favorably from the labor committee, requiring all product: of convict labor to be branded “convict,” with severe penalty for viola- tion. This called for a long and lively debate, and the bill was tabled. On motion of Mr. Peck of Waterbury the house reconsidered its concurrence with the senate to an amendment on the bill concerning the taxation of oyster grounds. The bill was tabled. The bill providing for inspectors in factories was tabled after along and windy discussion. The reso- lution for a constitutional amendment providing for the election of governor and state ofiicers by a plurality vote was unfavorably reported by the committee. The house took action upon it and after a warm debate the the measure was defeat- ed on a party vote, 76 to 79. The military committee reported a bill providing for armory buildings in Norwalk and else- where. \vEnNEsDAr. SENATE—The bill regulating the em- ployment of children in factories came up in the regular order.
