MATERIAL\FROM FLORIDA FOR STALWART SRN- ATE SPsEcne&—A pamphlet containing a re- port of the republican executive committee, of Florida, on the election last year, has been dis- tributed among the republican Senators. The report charges that the democrats carried the State by fraud and violence. Republican Sena- tors intend to make use of the report in forth- coming speeches. PROBABILITY OF THE SENATE BEING Lzrr WiTHovT A Quorvm.—Several Senators are talking of leaving here for their homes with the purpose of not returning at this session. Senator Slater intends going to Oregon next week and he does not expect to return. He will be paired with Senator Platt of Conn., who ig also going away.

Scott, Moses Wlaslow, J. 5, Johnson and Wesley Jobnson. STmRRED Ur.—The democratic Senators are considerably stirred up about Mr. Frye’s speech. The belief among them 1s that he was inspired by the administration. It was stated by a dem- ocrat to-day that the administration Sl Mr. Frye with the material for hisspeech, and rapsacked the departmants for it. The effect has been to make the democrats talk of voting With Mr. Conkling to reject the nomination of Robertson. Two democratic Senators to-day Natly deciared their purpose to vote against Robertson, and one of them said he belleved a majority of his side would do the same. DESERVED RECCGNITION.—Last evening a number of gentlemen who were associate with Mr. J, W.

COKE REPLIES TO MR, FRYE. ‘The Vice President laid before the Senate the ‘unfinished business, being the resolution for the election of Senate officers. i By unanimous consent on motion of Mr. E1- munds the papers on the files of the Senate re- lating to the subject of bankruptcy were re- ferred to the committee on the judiciary, Mr. Coke took the floor in reply to portions of Mr, Frye’s speech, which he declared to be remarkable for the recklessness of {ts state ments and the falsity of its charges. Ic ar- Taigns the people of a whole section and makes cbarges which, if true, prove that those people are Dot fit associates for any civilized people. He did not envy the man who could find it in his heart thus to speak of any pe of the ple over, which the flag of his-country hoated. He did not belteve the people of Maine endorsed the denunciations of the Senator.. He believed that they were more patriotic and had more.pride of country than to endorse it ‘The man who fomented strife and stirred up sectional feziing and inculcated animosity could not be a statesman, nor could he be a patriot. He then proceeded to reply to the charges made by Mr. Frye of fraud upon the ballot in Texas, denying explicitly their truth, and referred to the that in Harrison been re- against the Fe ot @ people of that county, unverified by a single record, by a single affidavit, by a single statement, except the statement of the Senator from Maine, was falge. He meant it in no offensive sense to the Senator, who, of course, made his statement on information, but’ he branded the charge as false from pening, to end. The sun of heaven did not shine upon a land where in thought, in utterance, and in action the people of ali classes, conditions and colors were freer than they were in Texas, and every allegation to the contrary he stood here to die Counce as false and slanderous. The Senator from Maine had taunted the south with tts poverty. ‘hat poverty had been brought about by the war and by the infamous carpet bag governments which had beea placed over the southern states under the reconstruction acts. The people of the south were now striv- ing In every state to make an honorabie pay- ment or an honorable adjustment of their debis. They were taxing themselves to the utmost capacity for the establishment of free echools, believing that universal edi- cation ‘must with untversal suffrage, ‘The colored children had the same per “capita Taised for school purposes asthe whité chil- Gren had all over the south. The people of the south would redeem the south, they would Place her where the blood and lineage of her people, where her glorious climate and her fertile £011 deserved that she should be placad. Allthe bringing of the bones of dead issues into this chamber would not prevent the south from becoming the equai in intelligence, in cultivation, inlabor andin aspiration of tue north, the east or the west. Tue people of-the south were of the same raca as the p2ople of the north, a race which had never been dom! nated by an inferior race and never wouid be. ‘Thatracefmeant to govern tn the south, and 40 or 40,000 entering wedges such as was sup- posed to have been Inserted in Virginia would ot deviate it from its course or change the results. A motion to go into executive session having ‘been lost—yeas 20, nays 21,— Mr. Harris moved that when the Senate ad- facephee Larad it be to mect to-morrow at 9 Oclock. Mr. Conkling suggested that if the hour were changed to 12 o’clock there would be no oppo- Sition to the motion, and for once there would be unanimity in the Senate. Sitting Bull Certainly Coming tn. MAJOR BROTHERTON SAYS THERE IS NO MISTAKE THIS TIME. Major Brotherton sent a dispatch trom Fort Buford, D. T., April 12th, to Gen. A. H. Terry, commanding department of Dakota, as fol- lows:—"‘I have the honor to inform you that at the request of Sitting Bull, Capt. McDonald, or the northwestern police, accompanied by three Indians selected by Sitting Bull, have been gent In by Major Crozier, and arrived here to- day. Major Crozier says Sitting Ball will in ail probability surrender on the return of this pasty. Sitting Bull, he says, wishes the young men to see for themselves how those who have surrendered have been treatel. sitting Bul! las been informed, and it has made a great impression on him, that some of those who sur- rendered were in irons, and that he will be treated in a similar manner if he surrenders. A party of ten lodges were to ieave Woody mountém on the 6th April for this post to sur- render, Sitting Bull says: ‘Tel! the Amert- cars not tobe afraid that I will eat the pro- visions they sent me and then not come; they will seem¢. I have given my word and my body to the Queen, and will do what I am told. Iam in earnest; I am eomingin.’ H- also wished Major Crozier to ask that his friends be not sent away from Buford until he gets in, which I think is important. The Indlaos wno came in in the last party are all young war- rors, who have often atated in counciis that they wouid rather have their bones whiten on the prairies than surrender without Sitting Bull. It would seem from this that hts last Iriends are leaving him, and I taink Iam now justified, notwithstanding the adverse criticism that I have been made the subject of, in be- leving in the success of the policy. Captain McDonald starts back to-day; will beat Woody mountains in about a week, When Major Crozier wiilgend me word, a Tull details when I ‘shall have to meet the Indians, &c.” PEREONAL.— Waitelaw Reid denies that he Is to retire from the editorship of the New York Tribune, except for the six months time he will be in Europe on his wedding trip.

CHIRF CLERK FRENCH, of the contract oftice Post Office The Post Office Sensation. RUMORED DEVELOPMENTS—PoaTMASTER GENERAL JAMES’ INVESTIGATIONS. ‘The sensation at the Post Office department to-day was the enforced resignation of Thos. J. Brady as Second Assistant Postmaster Gen- eral. Yesterday the Postmaster General wrote a letter to Mr. Brady, at the direction of the President, demanding his immediate resigna- tion, and it was tendered. There are very ugiy rumors afloat touching the Star routes and Gen. Brady’s connection with the contractors, One of these is (and it is not dented at the Post Oflice department) that the end will be an in- dictment. When Col. James took hold of the Post Office department he began at once an investigation of the star contracts. He has not yet completed this work, but has gone far enough to convince himself that great frauds and abuces existed. It was this knowledge that inauced the Postmaster General to send a com- mission to Memphis to investigate the steam- boat service at that point, which is believed to be rotten and corrupt. This service, though not properly pone to the star routes, was Rein iene by ex-Postmaster General Key to aid the merchants of Tennessee. It is alleged that many of the star routes,for which the gov- ernment pays royally, run into waste places and di On others there are no terminal points, They start at a given place and run nowhere. It has been found that the compen- sation on one route which was “expidited” was increased from $700,000 to $2,500,000. In short, the investigation as far as It has progressed developed the most glaring Inconsistencies, to gay nothing else, At the proper time the Postmaster General will through the press make pubiic the result of his investigations. A postal official said to- day, "There is much that it would not be pru- dent to disclose now. The papers are in the hands of other officials, and it will not be lon; before there are other developments.” General James 1s satisfied that with the extravagance which he can lop off in tiestar route service that In two fiscal years he can make the Post Office department absolutely self-sustaining. It is reported that the resignation of several other officers, who are known to have had questionable relations with the star route ring, will also be demanded. and that several clerks in the contract office are marked for dismissal. ‘The New Men in the General Post Office—Who they Are. Mr, Richard A. Elmer, nominated to succeed 2d Assistant Postmaster General Brady, 1s 42 years of age, and a resident of Waverly, New York, in Tioga, one of the southern tler voun- ties, where be 1s the president of a bank. He lives in Senator Platt’s senatorial disirict, that 1g, the district the Senator represented in the New York assembly, He 1s more of a business Man than @ politician, although he was once ee cps candidate for treasurer of New or! W. A. M. Grier, of Pennsyivania, who suc- ceeds Mr. ‘A. D. Hazen as 3d Assistant Post- master General, 1s a native of Pennsylvania. He was a delegate to the Chicago convention, and was the first man to vote for Gen. Garfleld, and he never deserted him through every ballot taken. His appointment is the President's own act.
