Wasmxoron, D, C., Jan, 17.~Several Demo- cratle Senators agree that the reasons cominuni- «ated to the Scnate hy the President for the re- moval of Arthur and Corncll put anantirely new aapect upon the question of the New York nominations, o long as no reasons were glven officlally to the Senate, the Democrats were rather fnelined to look upon the matter msa quarrel between the Prestdent and a faction in the Republican party. As Senator Conkling declared that no propercauso for removal existed, they hnd been rather inclined to stand by » fcllow-Senator. If a vote on the nomiuatibus had Leen taken before the President sent in his rcasons, the chances woutd all have been in favor of rejeetion. Now, however, theso.Democrats declaro that tho situation has entirely changed for them. ‘They find them- selves, in common with the whole Scnate, brought faco ‘to face with the direct and grave charges of nexlect of duty and marked fn- efliclency on tho .part of thoss two ofllcers, coupled with the statement that the revenue has sutlered from thelr negloct, that thetr oflices are not properly orranized, and that they utter- Iy falled to fnaugurate the reforins declled upon. Unider thess circumstances theso gentle- men think that the Domocrats In the Scnate will be oblized to vote for the confrnation of the Preelilent's nominees.
