The executive session of the Senateon afternoon was enlivened, It is stated, by a sharp troversy between Senators Conkling and | Surnsiae, “te [ad out of the calling up of the { nomination of Mr. Stratton to be steamboat in- srector of one of the New York districts, Mr- Burnside objected to its consideration. Mr. Conkling remarked that the Senator from Rhode Island had already objected several times to | the consideration of Mr. Stratton’s case, which Gen. Burnside denied. Mr.Conkling then charac- terized the conduct of Gen. Burnside as ofticious, | intermeddling, Let ogres nt and impudent, and when Gen. Burnside attempted to interrupt him: refused to yield, and demanded of the chair that | his right to the floor should be respected. Gen. | Burside replied with Eibes deal of feeltng. He | said he wisbed he had the tongue of a Blaine in order that he micht_make fitting reply to the Senator from New York. This allusion to the famous personal attack of Mr. Biane on Mr. | Conkiing in the House in 1566 was a keen thrust trom Mr. burnside, who went on further to de- clare to the Senate that fn all his experience he | bad never known s0 much duplicity and faise- | heod crowded into any case as has been ejected into this one by Mr. Cae He could not re- ly in the same strain to the person who had Fuse taken his seat, as he had not that same command of language, but he would say that he Was willing to put his word against that of a man who all those who were assotiated with him knew to be a constant and an habitual pre- varicator and a teller of untruths.
