THE SENATORS, BIMON CAMERON, Bpectal Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune. WasuiNaroy, D. C., April 2L.—The ven- orable Simon Cameron hns been here for two days. Both he and hisson Don say that he is hera on private business. This private business, however, scems to have very futi- mnte relations to public affairs. Yesterday hois reported to have had o long Interview with President Gartield, with whom he'ls on intimato terms, To-day, during the fiye hours' session of the Senate, ho sat for the most of the time In the private room with the Vice-President, and was In close consulta- “tion during thatting with the Vice-President, with Senator Conkling, with Scnntor Jones, ‘ot Nuvada, and o few other Republicans known to be special supporters of Senator Conkling, Allof the gentlemen who nttended this mysterfous conferenes are very seerct as to what transpired, but it has boen learned that Simon Cameron CAME YERE FOR A PURPOSE, and that that purpose was to endeavor to ad- just the diiferences between the President and Senator Conkling, which have resulted from tho New York appolntments, It was stated to-nlght by an iatimate friend of Stmon Cameron and of Senator Conkling that they considered that the matter was fixed. No further detalls are thus far known. It was tho same old story fn the Senate. There is no nearer opproach to a break In tho dead- lock, 'The Republicans are as determined as ever, and there is no chango in the situatfon, unless tho threats which ‘the Democrats are beginnlng to mnke mean something. Sote of them state that they will not submlt to the .| present course of procedure much longer, Dut will palr and feave tor thefr howes, not Intending to return unti} December, WHETIER THEY LEAVE A QUORUM OR NOT. Should all the Democrats who have made these threats exccute them the Senate would beleft without & quorum, and the Republie- ans would be competjed to.face another dilema, Aswas to be expected, Mr, Fryo's terrltie arralgnmont of Southern methiods yestorday “will furnish tho text for many replles, Senators Coke nnd Call had the floor w-dny, snd it wus notfced that they hud vory much less to say nbout the abseince of o freo ballot and a falr count in New England than they had before they were paralyzed by tho assault of Frye. Mr, Coke admitted—for tha records of tha Court did not permit him to deny—that in the conntles to which Mr, Frye referred yestorday thero hnd been some slxty pleas of gulity of eluctfon frauds by promi- nent Democrats of Toxas, but ho pleaded in oxtenuntion the fact that THESK SOUTHERN ORNTLEMEN paid thelr Snes and the costs withont cop- pluint, and that the fine wns not a large ol For the rest Alr, Coke secimed to think that, notwithstunding these pleas of gullty to in- dictients of fraud, no one aught to charge that thero Is corruvtion in eloctions by Donio- crats in Toxns, lnnsmuch as the people of the countles named are o chiv- airous, hospitable folk, as their chil- dren go to school, and as Texns raises moro cattle than auy other State. 1y 8 procoss of rensoniiye which Is not down in the lugle books, the Dewocrats, when ar- rafgned on specific churges of efection frauds and violence, answuer that the South is a falthful country; that it hias inines and cotton-fields, and vust herdsof cattle and hiorses, and I8 as faly a country as man could wish to see, That Is about the character of the nnswer that the Domourats have thus far been ublo to make to the speoifio churges of Mr, Frye. ¥ NOT A AINGLE POINT ralsed by hlm has boen successfully denled, wmucn less rofuted, There wasa yinugle over an éffert to ndjourn untll Monday. This motion was abandoned, after o private understanding among the Senators that, aft- or the wosting to-wortaw, they will adjourn over untll ‘Fucsday, as tho Senstors generally wlish to uttend the coremonies of the unvell- ug of the Farragut statuc, which oceurs Monday, Defors the adjournment several Senators gave notico that they should feel called wpon to answer the speech of Frye, Nono of thew, howover, bhave proposed to withdraw the pleas of gullty, or to destroy the records which show that the sentences were rendered and fines pald, ALEXANDER BTEPHENS took Senator Brown, of Qourglu, receutly to the duelingground at Bladensburg, and whilo thers suld that ne might be yequired to kuow where it 18 i the present habits of dobate {u the Senute shall contiuue, J A PAMPHLET was recelved by Republicans to-day, pre- pured by the llu‘mblh:nu Executlve Comwlit- showlng that the receut elec- lou in that State was carried by the Dewo- crats by undonbted frand, Republieans who have exantined tha doeinnent say that it Is exceedingly strong, [t will furnish the text for some speeches, THE EFFECT OF ML FRYE'S SPERCH upon the conlirmation of Robertson was, per- haps, more marked to-day than rca'.‘.'r(w‘3 . “The Deinnerats interpret 1t as challengn from the Administration, and say Mr, Frye was turnished with his data from tho Depart- ment of Justice, of course with the knowl- eige of the Administrution, and that they Krmmsu to voto agninst Robertson ns a ré- itke, It i3 cortainly the feeling of a goml many Democrats, however well-founded the theory that the” Administration hnd any- thing” to -dy with 3, Frfi’o‘a speech way. be.

"There is uvery great pressura being broyght to bear to se- cure the confirmation, of certain Marshals, and the Senators cannot, close their eyes to the fact that the publle service is belig - {lm:d for the want of Marshals, in some ocalities, . ¥ THERE WEDBE PRIVATE INTISMATIONS TO-DAY that it was very lmaslmu that the Republie- ans next weekmight decfde to go into ex- ecutive sesslon to_consider a cortnin elnss of appointments, 1f the Senate is once in ex- ecutive sesston, the Republicans can o more hnve everything their own -way then than they do now in ofieu Senate, and 1t is ver, provable that the Democrats will not permit them to do s they please, Yutthe Repub- licans have the control of the committees, and ean report back such nominations as they desire. THE PRESIDENT . is very much nnnoyed at the deadlock, To a friend to-dny, of whom he Inguired wheth- er there were any prospeets that the wranglo would soon close, the Tresldent sald that he Nlmself conld see no sign of 1t, and that he doubted whether tha people would sustain the Sennte in declinlug at least to make nee- essary confirmatlons, The President snid that this matter had very serfously Injured and embarrassed his Adininlstration; that thero are a great many portant changes and ap- palntuients to be made essential to thogood of the publle service, nud that the dendlock prevented him from .dolng anythine, Ile really, thus far, outside ol the wupointment. of hfs Cabinet, basonly been able to do two' distinctiva things,—first, to shape: the new Treasury gnllcy; second, the uppointment of Judgs Kobertson, e = PROCEEDINGS. . - IN THE SENATE, Wasmseroy, D, C., Api ished business—the resolution for the elec- tion of officers. ‘ i By unanimous congent, tho papers on file in the Senate relating to the subject of bank- ruptey were referred to*the Committes on Judiclnry, Mr. Coke replied to portions of Mr., Frye's speee, Hesald the peoplo of the South were of the samo race ns the people of the North,—a race which had never been dominated by an interlor race, and never would be. That race mennt to govern In the South, and forty or 40,000 entoring wedges, sich ns was supposed to be fuserted in Virginla, could not deviate 1t from its course or change the result, A motion to go into executive session was lost.

Mr. Conkling suggested that if the hours wore changed to 12 o'cluck there woull bo no opposition, and for once there would be unanimity in the Seante, 3 2 Mr. Iarrls replied sarcastically that It would necessitate n waste of three hours, and thres hours of such work us the Sennte was now dofng were very hmportant, The motiol was lust, as also tho motion to go into exccutive sosslon—21 to 20, Mr. Cameron (Pa,) moved that when the Senate adjourned to-day it Le to meet Mon- day next.
