The above is credibly reported to be the substance of a conversation held recently with the President and Secretary Blaine, and is given merely as a contribution to the his- tory of Judge Robertson’s appointment, the causes that led to and the results expected to be accomplished by it.” . THE “EVENING STAR” of to-night, referring to its statzment of last nizht, that Mr. Biaine when Senator was a stickler for Senatorial - courtesy, evidently’ upon the authority and_apparently at the re- quest of Mr. Blaine, sa; “During Mr. Hayes' term he made many nominations to which Mr. Blaine -was opposed, but in no single instanee durmg the entire four years did he ask the Senate to reject the nominee. In the particular cgse referred to—the United States darshal offthe State—)lr. Blaine dis- tinetly declined to ask for his rejection, and put his action on the ground that, though the nominee was not agreeable to him per- sonally, he was an honest and competent man, and=a good Republican. Mr. Hawlin procured the rejection of two Collectors nominated for Bangor, the city of his resi- dence. but based lis request on the distinet allegation of personal anfitness and political unsoundness. The three most active politi- cal opponents Mr. Blaige has in the Repub- lican party of Maine ivere nominated- for office by Presidgnt Hayes, and Mr. Blaine, in 3 each case. declined to oppose them, and they were all contirmed. and are now in office.” THERE WILL BE NO DUEL between Senatot Voorhees and Senator Ma- ‘hone, at least so far as Senator Voorhees is eoncerned. The latter is reported as having said to-day that he did not care to have the matter go any further; that it could rest where it is; and that there would be no pi tols and coffee. Senators on both sides are andeavoring to secure gn amicable adjus ment. Some of Mahond's best friends think that he ought to have accepted the explana- tion which Voorhees wmade at the time, which. however, Mr. Alahoue appears not to have clearly heard. VIEWS OF OTHER CORRESPONDEN Wasnmvgroy, D. C., Avril 2.—Sowme of the most _prominent Republican Senators say there is no intention on their part 1o check the debatein the Senate, but that it-will be continued as long as the Democrats want it, and feel that they can afford to revive old po- litieal issnes. The Republicans satistied that the discussion thus far has injured the Demoerats. They have exposed their deter- Inination to prevent any liberal movement in the South. Someof the most conservative Democerats express regrets that the Se has drifted into a wide political discussion, and that the extreme men in their party have lost their tempers, thus placing them ata disadvantage. “XOT HIMSELF.” The assault upon Malone yesterday by Voorhees is much talked about to-day, and excuse is made for the latter that he yas not axactly himself yesterday, and should notbe aeld responsible for his utterances. EDMUNDS’ HEALTIL: Word comes from Senator Edmunds, in Bouth Carolina, that his health is much imn- roved. It the present debate runs on much onger in the Senate, Mr. Edmunds wiil probably be here in time to-take part in it. VOORHEES VS. MANONE. To the Western Associated Press. Wasoyeros. D. C., April 2—The Voor- hees-Manone difficulty is virtually ended. Voorhees says he intends to treat any mes- sage from Mahone, whether it be a challenze or otherwise, with- contempt. Mahone, full of indignation, last night insisted upon chal- lenging Voorhees, but was persuaded 'by discreet friends that such an act would only injure him. 'The friends of both Senators rre endeavoring to fix up a mutnal exvlana- tion for Monday, but neitner Voorhees nor JMahone seems inclined that way. - cavers.” T Republican Senators have been notified to jeet -in caucus donday moming at 10 p’clock, when the present deadlock will be discussed. ‘THE PRESIDENT . 1s desirous to have the fight over the;Senate officers postponed until atter all the necessary confirmations are made, and so advises an( urges his friends among the Republican Senators. Itisreported that the President has determined to pour in the nominations upon the Senate and leave the latter body re- spousible for failure to confirm. The Pre dent’s wishes will certainly influenece a npm- ber of Senators. - . THE DEMOCRATS s pay they have no need for caucus, as their policy of continued resistance is determined apon. ) CONKLING can largely control the Rrrm_mcan caucus, ‘but his intimate friends say he is not anxious to postpone the war with the Administra- tion, as he feels confident in his ability now to make a stubborn fight. CHAUNCEY I. FILLET, Postmaster of St. Louis, has been for some Time past in intimate relations with the Presi- dentand high officials. He wakes the f lowing statement regarding the reported dif- ferences between the Cabinet officers and Senators and the President: ‘The newspaper reports upon all these matters arc exaggerated and colured to make them nc- cord with the sources trom which they emanate, and suit the parties in wnose interesis they are promulgaten. There is no doubt, but that Attorney-General MacVeagh bas” taken a decided stand against Chandler for Solicitor- General. This nction_of MacVeagn's an- taronizes Sceretary Blaine, and makes the contest a personal one as between Mac- Yeagh, Bluine, and _the President. This is par- ticularly the case, as itis reported Mnc- Vengh is endeavoring to_defeat Chandler’s con- firmation, which makesa dircet personal _Issue ‘between the Attorney-General and the Presi- dent. This, conuected with MacVeazh's public declaration’ against Gen. faum.—declarations made in_the prescnce of several gentlemen in 1his (MncVearn's) office,—Indicates a_variance of opinton between him and the general policy of the Administration which, as Senator Ben Har- rison said, if allowed to prevail, would make Doth_ludizna and Pennsylvania (MacVeagh's own State) Democratic. , The ditferanch’ arising between the New York Senator and the President is not onc ubout in- dividunls really, but about the observaace of TUHE USUAL COURTESY toward Senators and Congressmen as regards appuintments in thefr respective States. Inthis matter all Republican Senitors and Congress- nen are interested. It wusone of the matters hich raised differences between Gen. Garlield and President Hayes. Gen. Garfleld was not consulted sbout miany appvintments in_bis own district, and in fact many were made over his bead. This Gen. Gartield did ot relish or ap- proverand that be should not was very natural under the circumstances. This is the position of Senators Conkling and Plutt. They would have becn satisfled to let Merritt remain as Col- Ivctor of New York. Whatever fight is made Wil be upon this issue, and the result cannot, of course, now be seen. “The Bluine-Coanaler-MacVeagh contest is a Adiffcrent affair, und the stalwarts gencraily agree witts Bl agu Chundicr. 1 did not pear, up 10 the time I left Washington, any expression of 1 purpose of nny fizht being made by Senator Conkling. In fact, the Senator then ziven 1o publicity to any such intention. Toe effort on the part of some parties o keep up factions und 10 prejudice the Prosident against those who supported Gen. Grant will amount to nothing. Gen. Grant's meetings with the President were entirely plensant and he (Grant) remarked that heneversaw a batter disposed man than Ga fleld. It remaing with President Garfield to say whether he will Bave the soiid support of the *306° for his Administration, us he bad the earn- est and effective support of the Grant men for bis clection. The Grant: men, so called, have raised no such question, and. in_common’ with ‘all well-meaning and true party men, believe fn cne solid Republicun party.” A CAUCUS OF REPUBLICAN SENATORS - ‘has been called for Monday morning. It is Tumorul that tne President advises the post- ponement of the eleciion of Senate officers antil after Executive nominations have been disvosed of. A proposition to -adopt this course of action will be_brought before the cancas for discussion, together with several * other topics suzgested by the past and .pres- ent phases of the deadlock.

IS HOUAE. + Special Bispatch to The Chicago Tribune. " Wasmiyeron, D. C., April 2—Robert Lincoln, Secretary of War, has engaged the house formerly occupied by - Senator Ran- dolph, and will probably commence to keep house here this sprinz. ; - A FEELER. ~ The sensationalists, failing to secure the retirement of either MacVeagh or James from the Cabinet, curiously enough, are now" moving upon Robert Lincoln. A Democratic paper publishes the followmg extraordinary parnzraph in this connection: “Itis whis-- pered in inside political -eircles that ‘the’ Grant element have determined, if they are unable to foist Gen. Grant upon the Repub- lieans as its candidate in 1854, to bring for- ward Robert Lincoln, and endeavor to push him through by the light of the halo which surrounds the name of his father. The anti= srant element has some inkling of this, and it is surmised that efforts -may be made to bring ‘about a condition of circumstances which will force his retirement. trom the Cabinet.” .

THEI: UNABATED RUSIL. WasmiNGzoN, April 2—While the busi- ness of the Senate is at a deadlock on the question of electing a new Set of officers the ‘heaas of departnents also -complain that their time is so consumed by applicants for office that it is almost impossible to attend to the routine business of their respective de- partments. The seekers for official patron- age are daily increasing in volume ard in- tensity, urging their claims through Con- gressmen-lect, ex-members, and others who assert the right of access to the private oflice of Cabinet officers whenever they call. Of the séven departments of the Government, the Navy has the least in the way of patron- age. Some ides, therefore, may be had of the pressure brought upon Secretary Hunt when it is said that for a prospective vacancy in the Paymaster’s Corps for.the position of Assistint Paymaster there are already on’ file 12 applications. . ALMOST AS MUCH INFLUENCE is presented for the appointment of = clerk, messenger, or laborer as though the place sought was one of naval rank. Of course the Secretary has 1o vacancies to be filled, yet the bearer of the recommendations ex- pects, and in some cases demands, that 'his };eliflun shall receive his immediate and favorable considération. The most the head of any departmentcando is to treat the visitor politely, which expends his time, and during the seven hours allotted for the daily duties of his department he finas that more than one-half of the time has passed in hear- ing the demunds of the importunate office- seekers. ‘The head of a bureau in one of the departments told your correspondent a few days ago that he had some important matters wliich he wanted to present. to the head of his_department, and ror that purpose had made repeated visits to the oftice of the Sec- retary. He found every time he went so many strangers present that as yet he had not had an opportunity of talkine over the business matter requiring that official’s at- tention, and was seriously thinking whether it wouldn’t be a good plan to get some Con- gressman to present it for him. NOTES. - 1Epue. EF Special Disvatch to Ihe Chicago Tribune. WasHINGTON, April 2—It is stated on good authority that there will bea change in the Commissionership of Agriculture, and that Dr. Loring, of Massachusetts, will -re- ceive the appointment. It isexpected that his nomination will be sent-to the Senate'in afew days. Ex-United States Marshal Pit- kin, of Louisiana, thinks his chances are good for the Mexican mission. Inaddition 0 a strong political backine, the Marshal is indorsed by all the leading businss firms of New Orleans, representing over $300,000,000. SOCIETY PEOPLE HERE are not disposed to accept the proposition that the Cabinet shall make a ngw departure and return’ no calls. Some répresentative society people say that unless an exception is made as to the old residents and old families here, many resident families will cease to visit or attend the afternoon receptions of the Cabinet families. Their social status is well fixed: they have large circles of other pleasant acquaintances whose position does. not depend for the time being on the uncer- tain tenure of official life, and they can-as well afford to be independent of _any other class as the other class can be of theur. M VEAGH ON THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION. “1 want an honest man, I want a br: man, and I want a_good Republican,” s Attorney-Generai-MacVeagh the other day to a_delegation who were pressing a candi- date for a United States Marshalship in the S Several names were eanvassed, when ne was hit upon who filled the At- torney-General’s faea of the man. “But he drinks,” said one who would be disappointed. ** Does he drink to excess ?” 0h, 10,” was the reply; * but he drihks.” “Then there is nothing against him on that score,” said the” Attorney-Generak. “I drink sometimes myself.” Ergo, wine will not_be banished from the -Attornev-General’s Department, and the Mrs. R B.

This story i8 often told in and about Richmond of an interview suid to have occurred just after Leo's surrender between Secretary Stunton and Maj.

New York Wond. . - . Allamagoozler, Emir of Bedad (may his tribe increase), was a manof such prodigious memory that he could recite the longest poem after having heard it once repeated. In his household also there was a eunuch who could repeat any ooem which he had heard twice, and a female slave who could do as much if she bad but heard it thrice. ‘The Emir, who was very fond of poetry and his sequins, then issued a proclamation announcing that contributions were respect- fully invited, and that such as were accepted - would be paid for at the rate of their weight in gold;.but it was added. that, if any poet sheuld attempt to pahn off upon the Emir plagiarisms or old compositions, not only should” he receive no reward, but he should beinstantly bastinadoed and paraded through the streets of Bedad on a white mule with his face toward the animal’s tail. Hundreds of poets, anxious to win the Emir’s applause, visited the court of Bedad, where the Emirreceived them, the eunuch stariding amid his attendants, and the female slave sitting behind a sercen of lattice-work. When the poet had recited his ode the Emir's faée would darken with indignation. , * Dog of a poet!” he would thunder, “that dost dare to enter my presence with.a_lie upon thy lips!" The verses thou hast just re- citea I rend many years ago,—are as familiar to mé-as my prayers.” . Then he would re- peat the ode to the astonished poet, and when he had concluded he would say: *Not only is it known to e, but that eunuch yonder read it tome long ago, as his own tongue shall wituess,” and when the ennuch had repeated it the female slave also would be appealed to and would favor the company with a recitation. Thereupon the Emir would sign to his black slave Mesrour, and the poet would be hustled forth and bastinadoed and paraded through the streets of Bedad on a white mule with his face towarcs the animal’s tail, and as soon #s he had recovered the use of his feet would depart to his own city in an utterly dazed condition, and prepared to admit that afterall there mizht be something in the theory of an Unconscious Meumory. Meanwhile the poet’s ode would be writ- ten in letters of gold- upon illuminated vel- Ium, and placed in the royal library, the Emir thus obtaining a priceless collection of the cream of contemporary literature at the min- imum of expense. Now, there was a_poet who dwelt'in a re- mote oasis and had followed with interest the literary movement of the time.- Ile too declared his intention of presenting himself before the Emir. For seven years. there- fore, he wrought and produced an ode beside which the wildest “writings of Carlyle, and Walt Whitman, and Stephen earl Andrews were _even as a-b ab. The shortest word in it made two lines, and the nominatives, fainting beneath a burden of adjectives, grew_gray before they found their long-lost twin_verbs. Hav- completed his work he set forth for the court of Bedad amid the lamentations of his kindred. X 7 . . When the Emir was informed of the ar- rival of another poet he bade the attendants summon the ennuch and female Sluve, select two new whips of lippopotamus hide, saddle the white mule, and admit the bard, = - - “The poet made his obeisance to the Emir, and thus addressed him: *‘Commander of the Faithful, your slave has herea little thing which he threw off in five minuteslast night., Your slave belongs to-a new literary -school, and the production which he has the honor of stbmitting is a sincere, though perhaps inadequate, specimen of the Poetry of the. Future.” * ¢ “Buk, buk! -It is good, my son;, proceed, in the name of the thirty-nine Imaums!” re- plied the Emir, and the poet thus encouraged recited his ode. X As he proceeded the complacency of the Emir gave place to, in rapid succession, eager interest, - astonishment,- and - despair. -while the eunuch lamented to his neighbors that he had never studied phonography, and the female slave declared that it was hard to die S0 Young. ;. _ At theconclusion of the recitation the Emir sighed, frowned, passed his hand across his forehead as if to collect his thoughts, and said: “)y son; your verses ‘are not without- @ certain merit, though it seems to me that [ have read or heard something very like them }’IemrT Let me see if I can recall them. lem * Mammastodocepbalic monarch™— curious 1 cannot remember theé next line, and i—)ec Iseem to have it at wy fingers-ends. id you ever hear that poem ?” Le continued, addressing the eunuch. 4 “Commander of the Faithfull” cried the slave, prostrating himself before the Fmir, *I have a faint recollection that my grand- mother once sang me to sleep with a song very like t.hnt, but, of course, I could not positively say.”- s * And ¥ou, Fatima ?” cried the Emir to the slave. sl T *‘Light of the Sun!” stammered the beau- tiful slave, feeling (as she subsequently averred) that she did not know whether she was sitting on her head or her heels, ** Lhave 'the “deep -mystery “of - existence, then the eping body and soul together in Yy ton, clerking in one of the G shiy resusl at 55.000 a vear.ll’ overment _ Judge Cary evinced the great i in these weird tales, and edgedefxtp‘n;':"‘ group.
