Leading republicans do not an- Uctpate it, nor do they want it. The President ts not In favor of It, nor {s Secretary Blaine. This 1s stgted upon the authority of gentlemen who hav made the matter a subject of inquiry. Not only are there vacancies in the House which May not be filled by the middie of May—the date the quid nuncs fix for the special session— but a few republican members are already ar- Ll as oe phn Europe. Mr. Miller, of New York, has already started upon a southern ne which may be extendei to the West Indies. He wouid not have gone had he antic- ipated a called session. So far as the refund. ing of the maturing debt 1s concerned, the Secretary of the Treasury will apply the un- sold four per cents to the redemption of the Six¢S as far as they will go, and will, from time to time, apply the surplus revenues to the pur- chase of bonds, either by bid or in the open maiket. This the Secretary ts how empowered to do under a provision of law which was in- corporated as an amendment to the suudry civil Spproprianion bill by Senator Bayard. so farasthe passage of a feapportionment Dill being a ground for a special sesston. the iact fs that now but littie could be gained if the bill was passed in May. because a great number of the state legislatures have ad- journed, and all will have adjourned before a month more rolls round. The White House Callers ‘fo-day. ‘The rule at the White House on Saturdays 1s that members of Congress will be recelved up to 12 o'clock, but that there shall be a respite from general ca'lers.

At the executive session of the Senate yes- terday, the whole of the session from 2.) or late as 4 p. m. was devoted to a continuation of the controversary begun In “open” sessioa concerning te proposed immediate orgiaizi- Uon Of the committees. Various tneff: efforts were made te effect some agreem: to a day when final action should be to be taken on the pending resolution, wituout the interpesition of dilatory proceeding=: but the republicans declined to Mx any time tore specifically than by saying that they woul! be Teady to act upon the question as soon a2 ali ibe vacancies were filled. They also dec, to give any positive answer to au inquiry ad- em several times from Ube demo- dressed to t cratic side of the chamber a3 to whether or sot, after the vacancies shall have beea filled, ‘uey would be sure of having enough strengii to owas control the organization. Finally, agreed that the point of order and the trcm the decision of the chair in regard penoing resolution should bath be withdr. wn, and that the resolution should be allowet to come before the Senate for consideration « its merits” next Monday. The withd were accordingly made by unanimous con: THE REFUBLICAN PROGRAM. ‘The republican Senators In their caucus, de- cided to persist 1n opposing any election of the Sevate committees In advance of the arrival of the four incoming republicans, unless four of the demecratic Senators shall previously pair with them, and that before allowing a tinal vote to be taken, therepublicans should be pre- pared with a list of committee memberships to offer for adoption as a substitute for the democratic list. It is still confidently bellevad by the republicans that Senater Matoue vill Side with them in the matter of organ: and unless this expectation be disapp9i § ‘there seems to be no doubt that, with tne ad ditional aid of the Vice President’s casting vote, they will control the organization before the close of the present session. In some uarters an inference hag been drawn from jahone’s absence, that he does not inteni to vote on the question of organization at all. THE UNDERSTANDING AMONG THE DEMOCi ATIC SENATORS to-day Is that the question of organization Is to be brought up Monday with the consent of both parties, and that vacancies on the repub- lican side will be offset or equalized by with- holding as many democratic votes as there are vacancles, Senator McDill, of Iowa, will, it ts stated, be in his seat, and Senator Cameron, of Wis.. 18 expected to arrive in time to be sworn in at the assembling of the Senate Monday. This will leave but two vacancies. IN THE REPUBLICAN caUcus yesterday afternoon no action was taken 109k- ing to apy Change in the program agreed to in the executive session, It is probable that dis- cussion may arise on ible points of order, or other minor questions which may delay a vote on organization until later; but the general impression to-day was that the matter would be decided Monday. Tne republicans still maintain their positive claim to GEN, MAHONE. It 1s remarked that such shrewd and able party leaders as Conkling and Edmunds would Ot “ppoint a caucus committee to arrange ublican majorities on the Senate com- ittees, unless they were positive of their wer to put these committees through the mate. If Gen. Mahone has given positive information to the republicans of his intention to act with them the matter 1s kept a profound secret; but some of the republican Senators, witLout stating that they have had such in formation, assert that he will vote with them. It is certain that Mahone has not ealightened the democratic side as to his intentions, but Abe cnn held by many democrats 1s that it will not vote at all at this session on the = organization; that Manone’s dependent for supre- ight as an in macy in Virginia is just opening, and to vote with the democrats would drive off all his re- publican foliowers, while to vote with repubil- s/rong and able democratic folly Tadjuster members-elect of Congress have been in Washington for several days in con- guitaticn with Mahone, These two gentlemen— Paul and Fulkerson—represent the two strongest democratic districts in Virginia; dis- tricts In whch the white voters largely ‘pre- dominate, They are reported ag having de- clared themselves, since their arrival here, to be as “good democrats us they ever were,” and this is Peis out in democratic circles as a straw. showing which way the political wind of next week Will blow Mahone’s vote. _ UNLESS THE MONEY MARKET becomes 80 di} turbed as to require relief, there will be no im- mediate bonds purchased by the Treasury. It 1s estimated that by the end of the fiscal year there will be a surplus revenue of $25,000,000 in the Treasury. Of this amount $13,009,000 ‘Will goto purchase bonds to fullnl the’ re- quirements of the sinking fund. This would leave twelve milltous to Buy bonds on general account. This money will not be expended though unttl towards the near close of the Bt year unless the market gets rickety. DEATH OF AN ARsPy OFFICER.—The War de- partment has received information of the death of Lieut. H. Wright, 7th ttifantry, Bais coonred at Fort ‘steveustn op the ri The New Deal, GOSSIP ABOUT OFFICES AND CANDIDATES. It 1s probable that Marshal Fitysimons, of Georgia, will retain his ofice until the exptra- tion of bis term. In the event of a vacancy oc- curring Mr. Marcellus E. Thornton, a ronoR man and a native of Georgia, will be presse by his friends. The little state of West Virginia ts not at all modest in its claims. Mr. J. T. Heke wants v. consulship, and a good one. Marshal Beyer is willlag to take anything nice in the Treasury department. Ex Governor A. T. Boreman is here, but says he is not seeking an oft Colonel J. M. Davis, of Greenbriar county, who ts tn the city, his friends say, want the U. S. marshal’s ap- intment. Hon. A. W. Campbell, of Whoel- ing, Is 1n the city. He will get. a good foreign mission If he wantsone. The candidates for me Wheeling post office are as thick as butter- eS. The friends of Don Pardee, of Lousiana, say he will be nominated on Monday to the vacant southern circuit judgeship, once held by Jus- tice Woods, and for which Judge Billing, of Louisiana, fatled of confirmation. Wm. M. Ampt, a Cincinnati lawyer, is an ap- Plicant for the Belgtum misston. The colored men who would not object to an oftice, and who will probably Ue recognition of some kind, are ex-Senator Bruce, Governor Pinchback, of Louisiana, and Colonel Bob. Harlan, of Kentucky. Jt 18 understood that there will be no change in the board of District Commissioners—or, at any rate, none until the expirationof their official terms. The term of Commisstoner Dent expires June 30th, and that of Com- missioner Morgan December 16th, 1ss2. Com- missioner Twintog Is detalied from the War department and his term ts indefinite. It seems that the place Mr. C. C. Fulton, of the Baltimore American, would be wiiling to accept is not the Baltimore collectorship, but the appointment as first assistant post- master general. Mis. Van Lew, who was postmistress at Rich- mond under Grant's admipistration, wants to reclaim that position. H. L. Pelouze also wants the Richmond post offte, and Dr. Gtl- mer (a Mahone man), who was nominated by Hayes, but whose nomination was not con- firmed last session, doubtless expects to ba re- nominated and confirmed, now that Mahoue Is in the Senate. The fact seems to be established In the minds of those who are seeking to have Com- missioner of Pensions Bently removed, that Secretary Kirkwood will be slow to make any ven those who Clamor for the com- missioner’s removal make no point agains: hig efficiency or Integrity, but claim only that he erred in judgment 1m recommending the pas- sage of What was known as the “Sixty surgeons ill.” Not inuch has been said about the wants of Leutsiana in the new deal. It should nor be inferred, however, that the republicans of that state are idle. They are just as busy as auy of the rest who want ‘to be cared for. P. B.S. Pinchback is skirmishing around. His general lan of operations fs to urge recognition for the leaders of the colored race. J.

There has been @ great deal sald about the assignment, by the democratic caucus, of the chairmanship of the judiclary committee to Senator Davis, of Lilinots’ and some of the com- ments have been severe upon the Senator. R2- publicans who had made up thetr minds that Judge Davis’ duty required him to vore fora republican organization of the Senate, have de- bounced him unsparingly. “ He sold out for a pitiful chairmanship,” "It was a regular bar- gain,” and ike expressions were ireely used. and even since the Senator declined the c'iair- manship the criticisms have not ceased. Tac first publication of the fact that Senator Divis weuld be tendered the judiclary committee chairmanship was made in Tug Strap some weeks ago, and this piece of Intelligence vas Teechoed by some journals and pronoun :e4 false by others, The truth of the matter 1s that Senator Davis had no intimation whatever of the purpose to give him the chatrman-nip. except what be, probably, saw in the newsge pers. He made no secret at least among de ocratic Senators with whom he was in the habit of ccnvcrsing, of his purpose to vote for democratic organi/ition of the Senate. At dif ferent tines, and to different Senators, he Made this statement, and gave | his reasons for his intended action sub. stantially as he stated them tu the Senate yesterday. Senator Davis, in talking upon the subject, declared his purpcse to maintain his independent attitude, but as the attempt to organize would be @ partisan movement, he considered It his duly to vote with the demo crats, inasmuch as the republicans were no! likely to offer any better crganization froin a non-partisan standpoint. The democrats de- termined to follow the custom of the Senate and promote according to the order of Senators on committees, the name first on the list of each getting the chairmanship. Messrs. biy- ard, Garland and Lamar were ahead of Judge Davis on the judiclary committee. Bayard pre- ferred to continue at the head of the finance committee and Lamar at the head of rallroids. Garland had also the right to the chairmanship of the committee on revision of the lays Among democratic Senators the fitness of Juige Davis to head the gears committee was talked over informally for days prior to the meeting of the new Senate. It was known that he would vote with the democrats, and a3 ‘lie judiciary committee has a)l the questions of law coming before the Senate to decida, sone of which invoive partisan points, it was ¢n- cluded that from every point of view it weuld bea thing to have vudge Davis at the head of it. The assignment was made ta the caucus, and the first authentle informatio) Senator Davis had of this action was in tb presentation, of the committee ists to th nate in open sessfon. The democratic Sen- ators had no knowledge of Davis’ intention to decline the position until he announced i: to ‘the Senate. What Governor Foster Says. BE ACCEPTS HIS FAILURE PHILOSOPHICALLY. Governor Foster, of Oho, will remain here for several days yet.
