Just now the prominent topic of discussion among the politicians ts the nomination of Wm. H. Rebertson to be collector of the port of New York. it ts sald the President made the ap- portent without consulting any member of is Cabinet, and that tae Cabinet Was as much surprised a8 Was Mr. Roberison over his selec- Uon, for the reason that they knew nothing about it In advance, and the nominee had made no application for the appointment. When the name was first sent to the Senate there was a disposition to believe that the President chose Mr. Robertson on the recommendation of Sec- retary Blaine. At the Chicago coavention Mr. Robertron was a member of the New York delegation. He refused to vote for Gen. Grant, and on every ballot voted for Mr. Blaine unti) Gen. Garfield's name was placed before the convention. He is essentially an antl-machin politician. When Gov.

The nomination of the new collector wiil of course be referred to the committee of commerce, of which Senator Conkung ischatrman. There are contlietiag rumors a5 to the course he will pursue, Some of the Sen- ater’s friends say that rather than court a war with the administration thus early [Mts o1- Dcisi life, he will interpose no obstacle to con- firmation. Then there are others of the Sen- ator’s friends who say that he will hold the nomination in abeyance until next winter, and meanwhile feel carefully the ground a3 whether he can eventually di hin. 8 another class of the “ stalwart Senator say that he will construe the nomtua- tion to be a defiance offered him by the Prest dent, and that he will accept the war this forced upon bim.

THE DEMOCRATIC SENATORS IN CAUCUS DBCIDE TO RESIST A CHANGE. ‘The democratic Senators in caucus this morn- ing decided to resist, by all parliamentary means {n their power, the adoption of the pending resolutions by which the republicans feek to obtain Immediate control of the Senate ofices, It is learned that Senator Davis, of Ilinois, intended to side with the repubtt in this matter, but during the absence of Sena tog Edmunds the democrats will still have 1t in their power to prevent the success of Le movement by breaking a qnorum. THE DRMOCRATIC PROGRAM. The democratic Senators in their caucus de- termined to begin their resistance of the repub- lean program to elect officers by makiog repeated motions and demanding the yeas and nays on each one. It was pointed out that a more effective method would be to refrain from. voting and thus leave the Senate without a quorum. Mr, Bayard objected to this, saying he believed It the duty of Senators to vote on every proposition. The more aggresstve demo- crate, however, insisted upon the plan of brea! ing a quorum if that procedure becaine necessary, and the determination to break a quorum if tt becomes advisable was expressed by some democrats. ‘There was no apparent Weakness in the democratic ranks. Interesting Procee Session of the Senate, In anticipation of a contest over the election of Senate officers to-day, the Senate gatieri were crowded and many were pressing tron the corridors for admission.

Mr, Pendleton said that he desired to ex; dite public business, and for that reason wis! that the resolution should be lald aside 29 be ealled up When the Senate should lave done tat whieh it had been conveued todo. Waen the resolution was offered yesterday he had Supposed that it was intended as a kind of reminder to the democratic the chamber that the power had pas them and that what Gmproperiy, he thought) we qayorliy” Was With the republic, He had Ted it ag a gentle reminder that Ui democrats had no monopoly of the dtstiactto which had been £0 frequently commented upon, that confederate brigadiers gat only on their side—that they were no longer to hear the statement that the majority ruied the Se ate, the caucus the majority, and the coufade- rate brigadlers the caucus. It had rather secmed (0 bim that the Introduction of tae resolutien bad meant (0 give notice of ane of two things—elther that the control of tae caucts Was exercised in other than dem caucuses, Or that the repubiicans wer pleased with the experlment whicn had already mat that they to go a little farther by giving the Senate and the confederate brigggier to preserve order on the floor. Without the least disposition to transeress in any degree the de- corum and moderation which ‘should charac. terize the Intercourse of Senators, he would say that this resolution would not’ speedily pass the Senate. Thereupon Mr. Harris, declaring that his understanding Was that the main, if noi ihe euly, Object of the special session Was the con- sideration of cxecutive busines, moved tha the senate go into executive session.

The vote on Senator Jones’ motion wa. strictly partisan, the democrats voting aye and the republicans no. The motion was defeated by the casting vote of the Vice President, 1c having been made a tle by Mr. Davis, of NL, yoting aye with the democrats. Mr.’ Harris, faid that inasmuch as the \ice President by his Vote, decided against an executive session, he concluded that it was desired to devote the day to consideration, by the various committees of the nomimations pending before them. Therefore he moved to adjourn in order to give the committees that oe. Mr. Davis, of IiJ., voted no with the republicans and this motion was lost by o.tote of 29 to 32, Mr, Yendleton moved to lay the resolution oa the table, Mr. Conkling who made some comment ina ioud tone of voice, every now and then, remarked: “That ts very unkind.” Nobobdy Jaughed and the roll call went on. MR, MAXKY UNDERTAKES TO EXPLAIN WHAT 4 READJUSIER Is, "Senator Maxey said he wanted to make a motion, Dut would firet say something avout NZS at To-day’s | | {t. For years past the Congress, the press, the pulpit and the whole north had tilled the air with thelr shouts that the country was In danger of rutnation because of confederate brigadiers. He had seen a confederate brigadier tsken to the very arms of the repudltcan party. This brigadier, on the very floor of the Senate, turned to the republicans, proclaimed himself a aemocrat, referred to his service In the confederate army, and satd he bad no apology to make for his Course; never had apologized, and never would. The 'repud- leans had nominated another ox.contederate soldier for sergeant-at-arms, In his speech the other day Senator Mahone, when asked {t te were a democrat or a republican, replied that ke was a “readjuster.” The Senator from Georg's did not seem to understand what @re- adjuster was; but be (Maxey) did. It was to readjust the’ oftices of the Senate; readjust the rep ub can party and putit under the control of a confederate brigadier. He jad read in the papers, some time ago, that Ma- hone was to vote to put the secretary of the Senate out and a friend of his in. I¢ appears now thatthis is true. Mr. Maxey called Gor- ham a “pitching mustang,” because of hts bolt- Ing from the repubilcan party and pitching back Jnto it. Senator Maxey sald the democrats could not understand this new policy of read- justing things under confederate brigadiers and Pitching mustangs. In order that they might understand it he moved to go into executive session. Senator Maxey’s speech was delivered with earnestn and was fullot humor. His sallre of the change in the republican party created general laughter, but bls motion was dé- feated by a te vote. BENATOR HARRIS SAID that with the exception of Gorham, who was an efficient and competent oflicer—put not more so than the Incumbent—an@ of Dr. Sua- derland, he knew none of the republican ‘nom!- hees; vor did a majority of the Senators on the Uthat the Senate might have time for this he moved to postpone action upon the resolu.
