G, May 14.—There have .been a few attempts ;by Senators at harmon- Jdzing to-day, but all éfforts have ‘been unsuc- cesstul.: Sowme Senndgrs have had the cour- ‘age to visic the Whits House and to see the ‘President in his'offide during the intervals iwhen he was not. prasent in his wite’s sick chamber, and*to suggest some further at- tempts at compromisq. It was the old story. iThie efforts were o Republican Senatorsare still reluctant to face the inevitable Jdssuo. A majority of the Republicans, Liowever, have had- their illusions dispelied.,- The President has never wavered from the outset. Ie has interpreted the Corstitution as giving him the right to nominate such persons as he irrespective of chose for public (.Fflcc. “Senatorial courtesy,” and he has expressed his views without reserve to every Senator wonld not withdry the nomi .{ the Republican party in y made lecause some shall vote on such nominations, has no substan- Hal or important bearing on the question of confirming Mr. Robertson. -, ° A'REPORT THAT NEEDS CONFIRMATION. WasmiNgToy, D. C., May 14.—One of the Sénators appolntéd by the Republican can- cus to talk the matter ovpr with ‘the Presi- dent says the latter was disinclined at first to trapsfer Judge Robertson to sowe other office, provided Coukline would azree not to oppose the ather name sent in_for Collector, Which would be that of a man identified with the anti-Conkling element in New York State. When assured that this proposition would be ucceptable to Conkling, the Presi- dens wavered and finally gave expression to the suspicion that he would become involved inn political trap, \hile ‘the matter was under consideration, however, it leaked out through the ne\vsg;\pers. and then the Presi- dent announced that he would not adopt it, but let the matter remain for the Senate'to dispose of.

IT IS CONCEDED ON ALL SIDES now that Robertson will ‘be confirmed. All talk of. any other disposition_of the case has ceased.

TUE NATIONAL BANKS, Speciat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. WasmNGroy, D. ., May 14.—The weekly statement of the condition of the National of bonds deposited to secure circulation is $3855,054,500, and the. amount. of Natioual bank currency outstanding is $352,710,161, besides 81, of gold notes. Thisis the highest point ever reached in National-bank circulation.. On thé 1st of Decewber, 1574, the outstanding circulation of National banks was $352,304,34, and that was the high- est point ever reached until this week. AN ERRONEOUS STATMENT regarding the circulation of National banks is being published throughout the country. ‘Fhe paragraph reads as follows: The last ofticial statement of the condition of the Natlonal bunks, issued on Mgy 7, from the oflice of the Controller of the Currency, presents one or two features which are just beginning to attract attention. The total amount of United.States bonds on deposit to secure the circulation of the National banks is given as §354,975,000. According to the law, only 90 per cent of the amount of these bondsisallowed tobzissued in Natlonal- bank notes. But the snme report states the amount of National-bunk circulation out- standing was 353,209,351, over $33,000,000 in | excess of tlip 9 per cent allowed by law, and very nearly the total amount of the bonds deposited. ~ Congressional inquiry will be di- rected to this matter at the first opportunity. Another fact shown by the statement s that, banks, issued to-day, shows that the amount | 310k #s an orgunizations further, that the presented a more favorable lspecb.m that she has passed a wore comfortable day. . BLUE LAWS, ."~ ) WIAT INVESTIGATION IIAS DONE. Special Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune. WAsmxerox, D. C., May 14.—An inquiry made by a person opposed to Bob Ingersoll’s Jectures on infidelity ou Sunday here has resulted in the opinion from the law officer of the District disclosing some curious Iaw. There is no modern Sunday law here. ~The statutes of the old Maryland colonies prevail. ‘The penalty for violating the Sabbath. is a hundred pounds of tobacco. There is no law to prevent theatres from. opening or AMr. Ingersoll from lecturing om Sun- day. There is, however, a severe ol Mary- land . law against blasvhemy or denial of the ity, and the siatute, if strietly enforced, would prevent the cler- gymen from performing their functions on |, Sunday. ‘The penalty for. denying the ‘Lrinity, ander the law which District-Attor- ney Riddle declares is still in force, is that offenders, for the offense, shall be bored through the tongue and fined £20, and In ¢ the fing cannot be paid_the offender is to imprisoned six monihs. In the event of & i:efio i offense, the offender shall have the etter serious penalty for Col. Ingersoll] _— Srecial Dispatch to_ Tie Chicago Trivuns. Wasmingroy, D. C., May 14.—Gen. Walk- er, Superintendent of the Census, ‘e:q;cct.s that the fortbeoming report, when completed, will ‘be seven times as large as thaf of the census of 1570, % THI VIRGINIA MUDDLE. 1t is announced very positively that the re- moval of Republican Postmastersin Virginia and the appointment of Readjusters in their places been swmmarily stopped. Of late numbers of Republicans from . Virginia have visited the President to protest against turn- ing members of that party outof oflice to make room for Readjusters. It is said that the President has stated to these visitie Republicans his wish that the regular Itepublican orgu ion of the State shall b maintained intact; that the party may, it it_sees fit, wake an alliance with the Ru- adjusters, but, it any such policy is pursued, 1t should be adopted by the Kepublicans as a President has expressed ls purpose to give the control of paironage in Virginia to the Republicans in that Stute. €O: ESMAN WHITT HORNE, speaking of the Mahone and Virginia move- nient, says: *'fhe Republican gar:y is never gomg to divide the Seuth with Mahone,—no, never. ‘The South is in a condition to be di- vided, bug to try it with Mahone is only to make it more solid than ever. The South can be divided. Give us a war with Mexico, or something lively, and the break may come; but not witi Mahone.” PETROLEUM. To the Western Associated Press. Wasuixeroy, D.

Ho must be placat- ed forthe affront that had been put upon-: him. Yet Mr. Robertson will be confirmed, probably within three days, and Mr. Conk- ling may possibly induce six or seven Repul- licans =nd eight or ten Democrats to vote with him, 4 v . TITAT 1S.ALL. Itis understood to-night that Mr. Conkling s practically abandoned the fight, and will not make facticus opposition, or endeavor to smother the nominaion in Committee. Sen- ator Conkling is repotted, in conferences he had with the Democrats since the caucus of yesterday, to have intimated that he feared that if Robertson should be confirmed he would be a formidable candidate for the United States Senate to succeed him. Itis now probable that:Robertson will be con- firmed on ‘Tuesday. Doubts are now ex- pressed whether the Conkling nominces which were withdrawn will again be sent to the Senate. 5 TILE PUBLIC ATTACKS GPON THE PRESIDENT, which it is betieved have been inspired by Conkling, have not tended to restore friendly relations. Conkling ‘is reported as saying that the result of the gonfiration of Robert- son will be the loss pf New York to-the Re- bublican party. Tlis can ouly mean that, as e cannot secure the batronage he ‘wants, he will not use his intldence for the Kepublican party,—that the coridition .of his loyalty to the party is the contrdl of patronage.” This s exactly the position that the triends of;the I’resident clalm he assumed pend- (ing the Presideritlal campaign, when thep members .of the Republican XNational Cummnitteq wers so much concerned as to his course. One member ot that Committee is (said to have written to Gen. Garfield at Mentbr, plainly intimating that he feared treachefy on Conkling’s part. ‘The report that I WILLIAM(E. CHANDLER contemplated retiring: from the contest for Solicitor-General was made upon the author- :ity"of a_member ofj the Cabinet who was to be presumed to know, There is, however, o purpose on the part of the Administration to ask for the retirement of Mr. Chandler, Republican members, of the Judiciary Com- Imittee, however, have announced, and did .anriounce yesterday. in caucus, that they should endeavor to ’induce the President to withdraw the name. - .

More than 100 telegrams have been received during the day from holders of 5 per cents desiring to extend their bonds, asking for in- formation on the subject. ‘I'he Controller of the Currency says he has already in his hands papers for ‘the exchange of 6 per cent bonds belonging to 410 National banks cov- ering about £40,000,000 of bonds. ‘This would leave 5 5 FORTY BANKS to- be heard from having six millions of bonds, and these are all believed to be in the hands of the Secretary. Two hundred and fifty millions dollars of 5 per cent registered bonds may be surrendered and extended, and of this ainount 433 National banks hold $168,276,000, nearly all of which, the Con- troller thinks, will be exehanged during next month. The acts of June), 1874, and Jan. 14; 1875, authorized the retirement and reissue of National-bank notes at the pleasure of the banks, subject to the restric- tion of the law.

Since that date it has steadily increased. On Nov. 1 it was $343,000,000, and since that time there has been an increase of more than £9,000,000, the circulation. novw being S352,- 710,161, which is $315,815 highdr than at any time since the passage of the Free-Banking actof Jan. 14, 1875, = *° 3 MRS.

Bpeeial Dispitch to The Chicao Tridune, St. Paur, Minn., May 14.—A terrific storm of wind and rain, accompanied by thunder and lightning, which passed over the city between 3 and 4 o’clock this morning, awoke the citizens unpleasantly sudden. The first impressions were of grent thunderbolts hurled, as it were, through space. Vivid lightning surcharged the atmosphers and: presented at frequent intervals great sheeta offlame. The rain, while it lasted, was very heavy, and accompanied by hailstones as large as a pea. The rattling of the hail, the swinging of the trees, the ter- rific thunder . and lightning, ard the roaring raln combined to maks a scene fearful to contemplate. The rain fall is reported by the signal office to have been over half an inch. The damage outside the lines is not supposed to be very grest., As far as known there was no damage in tht city. There are reports of damage by light, ning in the rural districts, but the informar tion is very meagre. The telegraph lines be tween here and Milwaukee, Duluth, and other points are down.
