A great many conferences have been held, but they have not resulted in changing the situation. Sen- ators have visited the President individually and in groups, and all seem to have heard the same story. Gen. Garlield has spoken his last word of compromise in the Conkling- Robertson matter.- 1t isno longera question of adjustment.- The Administration now seems to be planning how- best -to execute the policy which it has adopted. Semators who have talked both with the President and - with members of his Cabinet say that whatever may be said as to the desires of the President to avoid a contest with Mr. Conkling, the contest is at hand, and the President, or those who me believed to have authority to speak for him, s given the Senator to understanit that THOSE WHO ARE NOT WITII HIM ARE AGAINST DL and that any Senator who votes against Rob- ertson will be considered to have cast a vote hostile to the Administration. Several Sen- ators say that they understand this' to be the avowed policy of the Adminis- tration. It is understood to Dbe the desire of the Administration to secure the services of some one to Immediately repre- seut it in the Republican caucuses, and pref- erence will be given to a Senator who has been identified with Gen. Graut’s prospects. Ithas been reported’ that Senator Sherman has been selected. This report is doubtless frcorreet, as Mr. Sherman himself is some- what antagonized in the Senate, and. on ac- count of his action at Chicago, mizlit not be as intluential for the Adiministration, GEN. LOGAN hias never yet told Mr. Conkling that he would vote aguainst the confirmation of Robertson, although a good many efforts have been made to ascertain his position, and it is known that Gen. Logan very much de- tor Logan’s personul relations to Mr. Couk- ling have. of course, been very intimate, but, if the contest is to nssume a shape where it will become necessary for the Senators to chouse sides, it is, perhaps. natural to think that Gen. Logan would cast in histot with the Administra- tion.

The chances of ‘Lord Cairns have rapidly receded because his Low Church views, aud the cireumstances of his being only an Ulster lawyer render him unpopular with an influential section of the party. The more confirmed Torles also fear his splrit of compromise. "The.

But, thouzh pos- sessed of good conunon sensg, he Is no states- man, and is therefore cousidered unequal to THE CHIEF POSITION IN THE PARTY. The selection is consequently reduced to Sir Stafford Northeote or Lord Salisbury, Sir Statford Northcote Is accepted loyally as the spokesman of the Conservatives in the llouse of Conumons, but the entire party needs not onlya Parlinmentary chief but a leader, Lord Salisbury, on the other hand, has held higher State oftices, and has been more persistent in enforeing his clnime. “The party will hold a meeting to cousider the subject on Mouday. Lord Salisbury witl probably be chosen. The effects of this step may be of great impor- tance in the future of the Liberal as well that of the Conservative party. Lord lisbury, with his lack of taet, narrow views, obstinacy, rashuess, and Inck of can- dor, wilt never win popular confidence. The Conservative party may look for no more electoral successes, but will rather -shrink into an unreasoning and irreconciluble see- tion. From party considerations, the Liber- als are glad of the choice. THE IRISH LAND BILL drags heavily. The vote on the second reading is not expected till the 16th instant. The best speech so far has been Mr. Shaw Lefevre's. ‘The more the debate is prolonged. the greater are the divisions which arise in the Irish camp. O*ConnorPowerhas declared in an excellent speech that he will vote for the second reading. A. M.

Mr. Parnell’s action is condemned by the Freomanw's Journal and reasonable people in general. The minority in the Irish party decline to be bound by the decision of the caueus. It is remarkable that of the ixty Home-Rulers who followed the leader- ship of Mr. Butt only seventeen are faithtul to Mr. Parnell. - Many protests have come froin Ireland against Mr. Parnell’s proposal and A CITANQGE OF FRONT 1§ EXPECTED. The Whigs will not oppose the second reading of the Land bill, but will join the Conservatives in obtaintng modifications.
