The delegation wa3 Teceived kindly by Mr. Garfield, who was much Snterested in the statement that the duties paid at the Beaufort custom-house were equal to those id at Charleston and Savannah to- gether, while the expenses of collection wera only a twentieth part of either one of those Ports, The Secretary of the Navy was visited, a8 W8s also Admiral Porter. The result is that @ promise was secured that Port Royal would be cont'nued as a naval station and another Storeship would soon take the place of the New Hampshi Admiral Porter favors the estab- lishment of naval repair shops in the noble harbor of Port Royal, which, he sitd, was the only one worthy of the name on the south At- lantic coast south of Norfolk.

DON A. PARDEE FOR U. 8. CIRCUIT JUDGE. The judiciary committee this morning agreed to recommend the confirmation of Don A. Pardee as United States cireult judge for the fitth judicial circuit. It is said that Senator Edmunds voted against Pardee. The favorable report was submitted to the Senate In execa- Uve session, and as no minority report was Presented it ts an Indication.that the confirma- Uon Will not be fought. THE W. E. CHANDLER[NOMINATION, The judiciary committee also took up and discusged the nomination of Wm. E Chandler to be solicitor general, but did not reach a vote. The intention of the committee is to hold an- ether meeting to-morrow for the purpose of taking final action on Chandler. The prevail ing view tn regard to this action seems to be that a majority will vote against Chandler. It is known that recently a Stalwart republican Senator, who 1s & member of the judiclary committee, was asked by a southern Senator, who was, ng, away, to patron the Chandler case, the democrat being against confirmation. ‘This stalwart member of the commt'tee re- plied: “You have come to the wrong man. I am going to vote the same way you are,— against confirmation.” From this 1t has been concluded that THIS REPUBLICAN WOULD VOTE AGAINST CHAND- LER 1n committee and his yote with the four demo- crats would make a majority. At any rate there will be majority and minority reports. It was reported to-day that Senator Conkling’s plan ts to defer action on the Chandler nomina- ton until after the Robertson case shall nave been decided; that if southern Senators help bim against Robertson he will help them against Chandler, and if the southern demo- crats help confirm Robertson that Mr. Coak- Ung will, in turn, aid in confirming Chandler. Whether this be true or not it 1s evident that the judiciary committee is moving along very slowly with the Chandler case, Nominations To-day. The President sent the following nominations to thé Senate to-day: Thcs. A. McMorris, of Col., commissioner under section 2 of act to accept andratify agreement submitted by the Indians in Colorado.

CONKLING RISES TO EXPLAIN—HE NEVER DID NUTHIN—BE IS A MILD, INNOCENT, TIMID, GOOD LITTLE BOY, WHO HAS BEEN BULLIED, EAMBOOZLED AND 'PUT UPON BY THAT Ga¥aT BIG, CONCEITED, SWAGGSRING, DOMINEERING FELLOW GARFIELD. ‘The republican caucus was in session neariy six hours yesterday. The Conkling side sub- mitted anoiher resolution, having for tts ob- ject the singling out of the Robertson nominae tion for non-action. Tuts resolution declare, in substance, that it was inexpedient to con. Sider at this session any contested nomination ‘to Mill an office not actually vacant, or an office in which the term of the incumbent has not expired. ‘bis resolution causod A GENERAL DISCUSSION, ‘those opposing it holding that under It most of the nominations pending and to be made could be laia over, as a majority of them are not made to fill existing vacancies; and it would be €asy to obstruct matters, under such a rule, by some Senator or Senators objecting to all suca nominations, Senator Blair made quite a lengthy and vigorous speech, it 1s understood, in behalf of administration. The debdate ran Into the policy of continuing the contest for the election of Gorham and Riddleberger. ‘There wes opposition to a continuation of the Nght and some to the nominees themselves. In this connection the question of adjournment was touched upon. On the subject of adopting a caucus Tule that would exclude any nomination, those who sustain the President insist- ed that it is the duty to act upon all his nominations, one way or the other; that it 13 an undisputed right of the Senate to reject any nomination, but this right should be exercised Without any unnecessary delay. On the other or Conkling side it was main. tained that the prerogative of the Senate in re- ‘ard to nominations is broader; that that body a8 the right to dispose of nominations asit may See fit, to delay action as long as it chooses, and nobody has the power to hurry it; that, for in- stance, the Senate might want to postpone action in order to make inquiry into the fitness of @ Lomination; that, in fact, it has often done £0; that if the Senate could be hurried into action, that would deprive it of the power to give due consideration to all nominations, MR. CONKLING’S SPEECH, Mr, Conkling began a speech about 4 o'clock, and he held the floor until 6:25, when the caucus adjourned. He stated in detafl his ob- Jections to Robertson; maintained that Rob- ertson had antagonized him, and the regular republican organization in New York on sundry occasions; that the latter carried his hostility to Conkling and the repub'ican managers in New York into every convention, every party movement; that at the Chi convention Robertson declarcd he would not support Arthur for Vice President; that because of this Personal hostility to him (Conkling), and to the Tegular party machine, he and the stalwarts of New York opposed Robertson. Mr. Conkling also gave bis version of his earlier relations with the President; of the President's pro- Po rals of friendship and offer to consult him as to New York nominations; that he had not sought to dictate, or control nominations, etc. He insisted that the President had Gealt unfairly (Conkling strong lan- guage, however). in nominating Rob. ertson, whose sole aim is to break down “the Conkling machine,” sald the sena- tor. Mr. Conkling also dwelt upon what he considered Presidential usurpation, invasion of the rights of the Senate and appealed to his associates to stand by him in resisting any en- croachments of the executive unles3 they Would see the Senate made subservient to the President. The caucus adjourned when Mr. Conkling concluded, unUl to-day, therefore he was not answered. STALWART ADVICE TO CONKLING. Itis known that within the last three days some Of the prominent stalwart republicans of New York, warm and true friends of Conkilag, have advised him to abandon his contemp‘ated Dght; to permit Robertson's nomination to be reporied from the commerce committee with- Out recommendation, and let the Senate dls- pose of It without argument; that If Robertson should be confirmed, for Conkling to say noth- ing unless attacked by a friend of the aamtats- tration; then he could talk, as the onus of cre- ating a disturbance weuld bs upon the administration siae; that should the Senate re- jeot Robertson, still Conkling should say*aoth- ing, but in elther case, to let the quarrel ate out. Mr. Conkling did not reject this advice, Dor did he give any sign of accepting it; but it came from men who are accounted devoted friends of bie, and whose object is ascribed to beto save Conkling from what they believe will be a crushing defeat if he makes a fight against Robertson. THE CAUCUS TO-DAY. Claims of the Conk.ing Men—Rob- ertson Likely to be Confirmed, Howeve: ‘The republican Senators went in caucus again about one o’clock this afternoon, after a short executive session. Supporters of Senator Conk- Ung in ht opposition to Rob-rtsox declare that the Senator's speech in yesterday’s caucus made a deep impression; that {t had the effect of bringing back to his side some Senators who were waverlag and, in fact, changed the phase of the contest decidedly. One of them sald that the caucusis £0 eve divided that it was impossl- to tell whether it would finally decide to take up Rol mn or send ext session, but his opinion was that Conkling would win by a close vote and once more carry the caucus with him. Another friend of the Senator satd: “Conkling is making a magnificent Oght, and it now looks like he will win. Heisa man of such magnificent ability and of so many re- gorrees that he has turned what Bppeared to be acrusuing defeat into a probable victory.” On the other hand: @ Senator who, though friendly to Mr. Conkling, believes he 1g wron: in this ight,exprecsed the opinion that the out- come would be a decision to act at this session n all nominations, that of Robertson includ ed. It was reported,and talked of at the Capitol as if credited, that should Mr. Conkling once tore carry the caucus against the President’s poles. @ number of Senators will refuse to be und by that action. It is apparent that Mr. Corkling and his friends feel greadly: encoura zed at what took place the caucus yesterday. Whether they have construed expressions of friendship to mean support or haye otherwise over ted the effect of his who agree ih them talk of the Senator's Prozpects of winning t. -arest- bi igment of men in positions Robertson case off yesterday, and the caucus was still in ses- flon at 3 p.m. ‘THE WasHINGTON Propuce ExcHanGE Cox- PANY, With @ Capital stock of $10,000 divided in 1,000 shares, has been With the fol- lowing corporators: Jacob H.

THE STAB ROUTE SCANDAL. What They Say in Port DI Proceedings Against ° tor yo San FRanctsco, May 10.—A dispatch from Portland, Oregon, says:—The telegrams trom Denver, Col., Which have been published, giving information’ thet legal proceeaings had bean commenced against ex-Senator Dorsey, of Ar- kansas, Dow fecretary of the national repud. licen committee, for services rendered to obiate an increase of mail service and get additional pay therefor on the siar routes in Oregon, at tracted much attention bere, the more 80 from. Ube fact that it was stated that the papers on which the sult had been Ins'itated at Denver hed been received there from a well-knowa attorney at Portland, and that the claimant Was a well-known politician here. The Or: nian set on foot an inquiry to-day, and got to the bottom of the transxciion, and’ the history of It fully identifies ex-Serator Dorsey with the star route business. The claimant in the suit is Frank D. Wilcox. who, though formeriy connected with politics in Arkansas, has Ot ap prominently in politics here, ‘Be went to Arkansas from Illinois in 1869, and Decame acquainted with 8. W. there. He was the secretary of the state republican committee of Arkansas, though he never held otuer office, and bore a prominent part in the election of Dorsey to the Senate. Desiring to = out of politics, he left Arkansas and came fo Oregon in 1si7, Wuen Dorsey began to operate in star routes in Oregon, he remem- bered that Wilcox had come to this state, and as bis relations with him had been of the most intimate kind, he fixed upon Wilcox as the man to help him work up to higher figures tie mail routes in which he had become interested, Dorsey first telegraphed to parties in Portiand to learn if Wiicox was bere, Having ascer- tained that he was, he wrote him stating what service he wanted performed, and directed him to go to Eugene City, giving him instructions at the came time how to get up petitions, have them signed, and make sub-contracts for car- ryipg the malis. The petitions were to be for- warded 10 Washington to be used in getting service and the pay increased for the service required. Wilcox was to receive $5 a and bis ex) Before starting for Eugene City he recelved the following telegram: “*WASHINGTON, D.C., April 26, 1879.—To F, D. Wilcox:—AU my other letters written’ to Ewgene City, Have telegraphed office. Go im- mediately. (Signed) 8. W. Dorsey.” Money being recived for expenses, Wilcox Wet to Eugene City, where he received Dor- sey’s other ietters with memoranda directing Lim how to proceed. The route Dorsey first wished to operate in was one from Eagene City, across the Cascade Mountains to Mivcoell, in Eastern Oregon, by the way of Pine Vale. The route is almost wholly unnecessary, a8 it passes through pearly ualahavited country, and the small centers of population on it east of the Cascade range are supplied by other routes. Dorsey drew up with his own hand and forwarded to Wiicox the following form of petition, on which signatures were to be ob- mod and forwarded to the Postmaster Gen- eral: Wé, the understgned citizens of Bridge creek, Oregon, beg to eurnestly recommend to your favorable consideration an increase of mat) tervice between Eugene City and this place to @ daily line, and ask that the speed be greatly increased. This route supplies a large and Tepicly increasing population, and is sole means of conveying Intelligence to a great por- Uon of southern Oregon. We believe the pud- lic interest will be greatly subserved by an early increese of this service, aud we earnestly reccmamend it, ‘To this Dorsey added the following words of instruction to Wilcox: “Of course, you want the wording as well as the handwriting of each percon to be as different as possible.” Dorsey next proceeded to instruct Wilcox ed to sublet routes, az the following telegram show! “WASHINGTON, April 23, 1879.—To F. D. Wil- cox, Eugene City:—Make contract for Bridge Creek route for speed of 43¢ miles an hour, three trips a week.
