SerivarELp, Ill., Feb, 8.—The resignation of Stillwell cloars tho way out of the railroad difii- culty, asMcCrea and Robinson will undoubted- 1y follow suit. Neither of them will stand in the way, and next weok tho Senate will have an op- portunity to pass mpon three new names. Very likly the Senators will bo glad cuough to do- send from their high horse, and the farmers bo fickled to death by tho nomination of & genuine busbandmap, taken direct from the corn-crib. Everyone hopes the result will bo satisfactory to evergbody. It is understood that tho Governor’ will not touch the dissppointed. candidates, wwhose behavior in kicking up tho muss descrves punishment. Morgan will hardly succeod. Tho rensons for not reappointing him arens strongas overinthe Governor's mind. The farmers scem to demand him and somobody olse. The Farmers' Club_should meet and elect two men, and com- mand thoe Governor to appoint them.’ It would necossitate the abdication by tho Goyernor of his prerogativo, but what of that?

However the disputo torminstes, it caats a clond over the Administration at tho outset, and it starts on its four yoars' trip with anything but bright forobodings, Who the new men will bo is s mattor of conjecture. It is mot impossiblae that McCrea will be relained, and, with two otlers scceptablo to tho furmers, Yo could be_ confirmed.

Mr. Stilwell's rfi!ignntion is in the poasession of the Governor, and will be accapted. . McCrea and Robinson_have gone homo, but their resig- nations are in the hands of friends, who will preseat them at the proper time. They have oen induced to withdraw by gentlomen who de- sired harmony between the Executivo and tho Republican Senators. The Governor did not ask for the resignations, but will have to receive them, He must ask the Benate permission to withdraw his nominations, which will be humil- EC, iating. It would bo much mare dig- nifi for him to _ compel the Benate " to act, and if it rejecis bear the responsibility. In that case he conld nominate new men. Retracing his steps at this juncture will be construed into cowardico, and ‘many gentlemen think he should maintain the dignity of his position, and his right to nominato whom he pleased. e may stoop to the blast, which could not injure him if ke stood erect. There i8 no_good resson why & fraction of the Senate should tarn him from his purpose. The prospect is that he will con: d to withdriw his nominees before sction is taken, and now names are being considered. . Morgan will not bo kept unless the Exccutive mind changes. Ha is here, awziting events, and an attempt will be made to compel the Governor to send in his namo. That would be conceding evorything. The pressure is strong. —Tresh mon should be chosen, men who havenot sougit the placo, and do not expect it. The nawmes of ex-Senator Adams, Judge Underwood, and ex- Speaker Smith aro mentioned. ~Smith is paid to have declined already, and it is feared Under- wood will also. d PROCEEDINGS IN DETAIL. SENATE.
