He succeeded there in getting action delayed on the bill, and doubtless hoped to defeat the measure entirely. The result of the electlou makes it Yery probable tfiat the ionate will pass tho forfeiture bill at an early day.

The winter la too short, and the work of counting the vote and getting ready for a new administration will take up the time of congress so that it will have b«t little'time for anything but the regular appropriation bills. None of the members of the house appropriation committee have as yet arrived, although it is customary for them to come on two weeks in advance of the opening of congress, to prepace one or two bills, so that the house can have something to work upon during the first week of the session.

A gooJiy portion of the audience were ladies. Mr. Hendricks was received with prolonged cheering. After reierring to the effective contribution of Indiana to the goneral victory ol the Domocracy, and extending grating that state to the Democraagr of Brooklyn, he continued: "This is.no ordinary triumph. We have not only outnumbered the voters at home who opposed us, but wo have overcome the Influence and power of an official organization of 120 regiments of officeholders. I rejoice with you that a party has at last come into power that is in favor of the peoples' government. I rejoice that there has been a pariy. held together by their principle alone for a (juat-ter of a century of defeat. Such a party, so devoted to what it believes to bo right, cannot fail to be of service to this country in the future; The responsibility rests upon us. how it shall boar itself in its period of triumph. Whether it shall be us gr nd in the day of success as it has been patient and wise, and faithful in the hours of defeat. It is a consideration of great pleasure to ma that this battle hus not been achievoi exclusively by Decmocrats. I I am aa earnestly a Democrat aa almost any man, but here, to-night, in Hew York, adjoined to Connecticut and Mawachusetts, it doea give me pleasure to say that we owe much to the Independent Republicans. It is a hard thing to tell how strong are the bands tiiat hold partisans together. But in this day tin se men, the leaders, the brightest, the scholars, the patriots, have slepped out from their ranks and takon hold of tue Democratic banner for the tinio being uil l helped achieve freedom from rings aud cabals. Let us soe to it that we drive none of these men back into tneir old ranks by any misconduct on our part. "The question present* itself, '«i)at does our victory signify ? What ideas of government stand expressed in the votes cast on Nov. 4»' Perhaps the chiefcst is the idea of stability. The Democratic party in all its history has been distinguished for its stubborn support of stable government and firm authority, until it came by way of derision to be called by the opposite party a Bourbon party. SfD, far as that name expressed stability in favor of right I accept it Ho far ns it expressod stability and support of tUo wl-oug I throw it off as a slander.

Ill its lost struggles, if that period shall ever come, the Democracy will be found frm joppolpew of constitution 11 Mgttt And' constitutional liberty. "Because of tome things that have been said within « very few days, I beg to say to yon that this contest, in none of its developments does signify any d.sturbanw* of the legal; n i constitutional rights of the colored people As tile colored man comes into the new a ministration us a .voter, so he wit. go out of that administration as a vote..

"It has been decided by the people that that there shail be executive and administrative reform. Do you ask me if I am in favor of civil service reforir.? Of course I am. 1 cannot lw in favor o: a continuation of so many things that we have seen in some of taut lire patDt. The people are tiroA'cflt, and they want a change.

Judge Merrick said that if the assemblage of any body of men, whether 111 science, politics or Industry, was an eventof importance, much more so must be that which meets to consider the spiritual welfare of million! in accord with the teachings of the Catholic church. The reception wan meant to signify the unity which exists t* tveeli the Catholic clergy and lnity of Aiu-'rica. Many people fail to understand how loyalty to the stato can exist w'fth'cQ-obodienoe to the church, and cannmi understand tlu.t non-intervention with f® 'rns of government is a doctrine of the Catholic church, nud that its preachings are the very radical* out of which modern political freedom litis grown. Sir Charles Itussell said the defendant adnitted the promise to marry the plaintiff ind the breaking of the promise without a ustitiablo cause. Miss Furtescue, he continued, was educated as a lady, but in conlequence of her father's failure, had adopted a stage life in order that she might support her moth r and sisti-r. Sho made the acquaintance of Lord Garmoyle in society in 1880. Tiio acquaintance ripened into mutual Tegard and intimacy, and in July, 1883, Lord Garmoyle made a proposal of marriage. Miss Fortescue acceptjd unl at once informed hor mother. At tlvis lady's request Lord Garmoyle likewise informed hU father, Earl Cairns. The earl gave expression to a cordial but guardei approval, and torota to Miss Fortescue saying t'.iat hi* desire in this matter wa* for fiis" son's happiness. Miss Fortescue at once replied to her prospective fathdr-in*)aw, assuring him that her one and only wish was to make Lard Garmoyle happy. A little after this Lord Garmoyle saw his father, and his father at that time, while saying that he would not himself have made such a choice, gave his consent to the union. July 530, 1883, Lord Garmoyle wrote a letter to Miss Fortescue in which he stated that Earl Cairn* thought he was doing a sensible thing to get married. Not long after this, with Lord Garmoyle'9 consent, a paragraph was published announcing the engagement, and Miss Fortescue became thereupon the recipient of kind ly letters from other members of Lord Gar- family. Some time in August of tihe same year, Lord Garmoyle told his betrothed that his family IWd very strong views in regard lo the theatre and a stage lifa lhey thought an actor's profession was not only full of peril, but was ungodly and profane. Lord Garmoyle was careful to assure her that he did not Bhare these views, but at his request Miss Fortescue abandoned the stage. Miss ForWecue was, after invited to Lord Cairns1 house, where she reoeived an affectionate greeting 'from both Lord and Lady Cairns. Suddenly, and without the slightest hint that such an idea was entertained, Lord Garmoyle, January 21, 1884, wrote a letter to Miss Fortescue and broke off the engagement. He still professed tne deepest love and admiration for her, but said hit* friends would not accept her on acoouat of her profession.

Swaim and Banker Bate man arc gone into fully, a number of things will be developed reflecting-upon a tiunv «r of officials. Swaim tor a number of years has been a money-lender at • very high rate of interest It can be that he has practically encouraged officers in the duplication of pay accounts, knowing that the money advanced upon such accounts would be safer than an ordinary securer, because exposure of the duplication would result in their dismissal from'the servioa. Swaim, when be was .intimate with Oar field, undoubtedly expected to be able to speculate upon advanca information obtain ed through his privileged position. This, it is said, is what led to hia original oonneotion with Broker Bateman. It is further believed that if the case is fully opened up it can be shown that it is not an uncommon thing for prominent officials to have profitable connections with brokers here to whom they furnish contraband information. The true history of the Army Poker Stub, of which Swaim and Banker Bateman were members, may also be brought out if the personal warfare la this contest Is greatly prolonged. This poker club included many of the leading army officials in Washington. It was formed strictly for the purpose of gambling, and if its full history were told ft would create quite a scandal.

A host Enthusiastic Reception—A Prom- ise of Future Greathew. Nkw York, Nov. 21.—Madam Victoria Hchelling- H u Iskamp Morosini made her debut last evening before a packed and lashiouable audience in Bteinway Hall. She was dressed in an elegant costume of black wtin, and sang in a rich, olear, though not powerful soprano voice. Her first number waa the "cavatiaa" from Ernani, which was received with rounds of applause, and in an enoore she sang "Sleep on." The " Addio del Passato" from Traviata, a very admirable selection, was admirably rendered, and at its conclusion the audience stood vp and cheered, la responding to the vociferous applause Mme. Hulskamp %ftng "How could I leave thee." The final number in the programme waa the duet from Lucia by the debutante and Herr Junck, which was also enthusiastically received. Mine. Hulskamp's voice is a clear, sweet soprano, of good compass, which would be admirably fitted for the drawing-room, but which yet lacks the roundness and vigor required for concert purpose*. The many musical critics in the audience agreed that when she gets over her stage fright, which was very apparent, and has had some additional study, she will be a decided acquisition on the concert stage. She presented a most charming appearance behind the footlights. The flowers presented her were numerous and very costly. Mrs. Lucy Stone spoke in behalf of Mssacliusetts, Mrs. Gen. Casemant for Ohio. Mrs. M. A Donset for Minnesota, Mrs. Anna Holyoks Howard for New York, Mss. A. K. White for New Hampshire. Oregon and Washington Territory were represented uy H. II. Black well.
