Bpectal Dispateh to The Chicago Tribunes WasiurNaroy, D. C, May 4.—The dead- lock seems to be broken. The Republicans deny, with moderate earnestness, thatthey haye surrendored. Mr, Dawes, the organ of thd caucus, indeed, in a speech preceding his motion to go into exccutive session, which thundered very loudly in the index, declared that the Republicans yielded nothing; that thoy went into executlve session slmply to confirm essential nominations, after which they would takeup the old fight with re- newed vigor. That undoubtedly -Is the’ formal purpose of the Republicans—at least, no contrary polley has been determined, but ‘probably ~ very few ° Republicans would, in private, deny that the motion to go Into exccutive session ia the beginning of the'ond.’ Mr. Conkling, who 6w manis festlng extraordinary zeal for the expedition of public business, is reported to have said that he thought the Senate could finally ad- journ In ten days. Of course, nobudy ex- pects tha! - THE TIREE HUNDRED NOMINATIONS will be confirmed, and that Mr. Gorham will be alected Secratary and Col. Riddleberger Sergeant-nt-Arms In that time, ' The Repub- Heans do not serlously expect to elect the of- ficers hefore next wintor, and many of them gravely doubt whether the present caucus nouinees will then be elected. The Democrats have nsserted with positiveness that Riddle- berger shall not be clected at any time. The revolutionary course in which they have per- siated for exnctly two months shows plainly enough that they would not hesitate to resort to any expedient to accombplisl: -this avowed purpess. Some-of the Republican, oven, have suggested thut, next winter, the caucus may sclect new nominees. - Gen. Hawley, of Connecticut, is roported as having sald, in the caucus, that he did not intond to vote for Gorham at any tine, and, as one Republican vote agalust him would Insure defeat, the situation {8 nt least pecullar. Meanwhile, it 1y hinted that SIANONE, by a stroke of statesmanshlp, may himself possibly cut the gordian knot by moving to postpong further conslderation of the ques- tion of the election of officers until Decem- ber. 1t i nlso sald that it has boen proposed that Riddleberger bo nominated United States Dlstrict Attorney forthe Western Vir- ginin District, a place which lawyers who know him say he I8 entirely,competent to fill, But whatever may bo the result, it seems ul- most certain that the two months’ contest is practieally ended, although there may be yet o few days duvoted to further debnte on tne question of ofticers.

C, May 4.—7The most anduclous assertion of the Star-Route R g Is that Congress, after its Investigation, ap- proved what was done, and made the appro- priatlon which Brady asked for. 8o farfrom ! this belng true, Congress reduced the sum allowed $800,000 below what Brady requiestud, introduced several restrictions: upon 1t ex- penditure, and each House, at different stops of its actlon, severely condemned his course.” - The finul appropropriation was made because it was deomed best, in justice to those who resided along the routes:In ques-- tion, and in justice to some of the con- - tractors, not to stop the service or scriotisly cripple it. The history of Congressional actlon in the matter will sliow the effroutery of those who are now loudly clalming: that ™° Congress, after inquiry, 5 n GAVE BRADY WIAT HI ASKED FORL, o - and let him go on. ‘The wmatter cang’ before the House in this way: -'Tho report of the Postmanster-General of Nov. 8, which was it . the possession of the Committes of Appro- | printions,made no mention of tha: factthat there was a - virtual defleiency of abont 8L,770,000 In the star’service. “While the Committes of Appropriutions were:exam- Ining Post-Ofice matters and noticing the fact that -the Postmnstor-General only re- ported a general deficleney in- the Dapart- ment of §150,000, they were greatly surprised . at the appenrance of n letter from the Post-- master-Gehernl transinitting o request from DBrady for an appropriation.of $2,000,000 28 a' deficioncy for star service.

When the matter canie up In the House for debate, the most prominent men on both sides de- nounced tho course of Brady us Illegal, while n number did not hesitate to insist that it was e THOROUGHLY CORRUPT, & “* Such Republicans us Gen, Ilawley, Cannon! of Illinols, Baker of Indiana, and }iscock, of the Committee of Inquiry, adminlstered " the severest censure. The latter showed a clenr violatlon of the plalnest statutes by Brudy, As o result’ the House cut dowi Brady's figures by §1,080,000, and provided - that settlement should be at the contract fig- uresof Feb. 1,1880, and that wherever the ‘ex- .: pediting”’ of o route had exceeded 84500 per annum the pay should be decreased to what! it was at the beginulng of March, Re- ' publican members of the Commit~ | tee of Inqulry, feelmg that .the ex- posure would prove I‘II‘D\'B scandal upon the party unless prowpt meastires were h},l?en npflln?fi’ Brudy,v wont to Presldents Hlayes and Inid the caso fully before him, ase suring him that [t was essentially’ bad and' corrupt, and that his Administration and the party would certainly sutfor unless ho dis- missed Brady, Mr. i’lnmu morely listenad,: and sald he would give the matter attention, which was {is stereotyped oxpression, an 18 the facts show, meant nothing, Asls wol knownyhe did nothlng whntever, aiid now 'fm-: msullrcn ItJl' THE llu‘mszx'r lfi;;‘:fi:: s properly ‘put upon hix Admiul When ‘L’hu llf’wannpg the Senule, the Col mittee of Approprintions of that body, and the Senators from all quarters, were besvt the whole power of the Post-Office.
