Supposing Patterson and Conover to return to their atleglance to the Lepubdlican party after having nccomplished the object of Lheir treachery and secured the admise ston of Eustis and Batler, the Scnate would thien pe equally divlded between two politfenl pirties, with Sharon habltually abscut, thus giving to the Democrats one majority on every varty question, The wlschlef that Palterson and Conover will have done will, therefore, be frrevocable. The Detnocrats will liave control of tho Scnate, and they will undoubtediy be able to organize the committees at the begin- ning of the next session, ur, at Jeast, to provent the Republicans from doling so.

One purpose of the Republican Beuators Is to prevent any lapso of time botween tle two sessfons, within - which, under the ‘Tenure-of-Oftice act, the Presldent could suspend present fncumbents from of- fice oand = appoint _others, but It Is not probable that tho Tresident has any Inten- tion of making suspensions during the few doys atmost that could lapse,.

After the real work of the caueus was ended thery wus some Infurmal talky i which Scuator Patterson s reported to have n‘\ok to the following effeet. 1le nddressed hls remarks mostly to Senator Edmunds. Turning to Edmunds, Patterson satd, i substance: “1 am a Republican. 1 am dog what you Dbave done frequently fn the Jast “ten years.

Tha Presideut has not eur- readered any point, hut he s been solicitous to show Senators that he means to act within the Republican party, and that, while he will not abate anything of his policy, he hopes to carry the party with him fn its ®support, and s sery ready to be friendly 1o overybody who will hn with him, or even who will Tiot o myruinst ihin, It happen: therefore, that some of the mulerate antl-Haves men begin to think of se) atating themsclves from thelr extreme com rades. If they aro to follow cither Mr. Conl ling or the President, for Instance, they prefor fo follow the President. Thus one of theso pentlemen remarked to-day, in a contemplative tone: “What Tam puzaling my bratns about (s which we ought to throw overboanl, Jonah or the whale, Jonab, you probably remember,” he continued, " was a Senator I Nineveh, who tried to brenk down the admintstration.” The whale, In those davs, was n curniverous beast, i3 the new Consul General to St. Petersbir on explained to me out of the Talmud, and the is that AF they had not tung Jonah overboand the whale woukd have swallowed the whole ship.

On the whole, it may be sald that therc is n qulet revulsion of fecling which makes {n favor of the Prestdent. Some of_those who are turn- inz toward him do not at all give up their pur- posges, but hope that ho will surrender to falr words and adroft management, and that, while be will not be moved by threats, e can bo wheedled, Others” are weary of a struggle which brings themn no frulfs. ‘They see the rnm-nlnn marching on, and are getting ready 0 fall ln before it is too late, * TIIE RECORD. nousx.
