Stopping Up the Key-holes—Senator Ferry’s Shave Interrupted—New Effort for Peace, The adjourned republican caucus was In ses- slon several hours yesterday. Some time was consumed in talking over the publication of the caucus proceedings of the day before, and inquiring how the facts got out. Senators, Mr. Edmunds for instance, protested against lettlog out the faintest idea of caucus action. It was suggested that perhaps hunter had listened at the key-holes and had overheard what took place. The Burn- side resolution to rescind the rule of the former caucus under which & nomination could be laid over until the next session, created the interest of the day, and caused the discussion. It was opposed by the Conkling Senatora and supported by the administration’s friends. Aiter considerable discussion, and when a vote was about to be taken, it was urged on behait of Mr. Conkling’s side of the queation that a final decision ba postponed; that the issue di- viding Le pg Senators in two factions b> not forced at once. ‘There was expressed and Manifested in the caucus a general desire for peace within the party. Senators who declared themselves for Robertson spoke of their regard for Mr. Conkling, and the general sentiment was that while it is neceasary to confirm the Presi- dent’s nominations, the New York Senator shall not, if it can be prevented, have cause to feel tbat heis crushed or defeated by the ad- ministration Senators. In other words, it 13 considered not only gary, policy, but that itis due to Mr. Conkling’ Jet him down as easily as possible; to make any conces:ions that would not cperate against action on the Robertson Case, And to say nothing and do nothing calcu- lated to further irritate Mr. Conkling. One or two Senators did insist upon a vote, on the ground that the question had -to be set- Ued some time, and it might as well ke determined then. Senator Ferry was cccupying a chair in the barber shop, his face Covered with lather and partly shaved. A mes- Senger rushed into the shop with a messige ‘thal a Yote was being taken and Mr, Ferry must go into the caucus at Once. The Senator had the lather hurriedly washed from his face and hastened to the room, only to find tnat the vote had been staved off. Another reason, outside of the desire to accommodate Conkling and smooth down his ruffled teaper—it that be pos- sible—which led to a postponement of the vote, iles in the fact that some Senators still hope that the President may be prevailed upon to make £0me sort of concession that will avoid a square fight over the Robertson case. These Senators do not want to be arrayed against either the administration or Conkling, if it can be avoided, and they were willing to walt tosee if two or three days would turn something up. The debate on the resolution to resc'nd the caucus rule that one Serator’s objection may Prevent action on a nomination was partici- pated in more or less by all the Senators, some merely asking questions while others made Speeches, Senator Edmunds withdrew his resolution to lay Robertson over until Decem- ber, on the ground, as he stated, that his desire was to avoid pressing a final decision of the controversy between the President and Conk- ling just now; that a few days delay, with every Senator ‘working to his uttermost to bring about a solution of the difficulty, might resultin the establishment of peaceful reia- tons all round and bring all elements of the party together again. Then it was that the Iriends cf the administration were appealed to to withdraw the Burnside resolution to rescind the rule of the late caucus. This proposition was seriously objected to at first, though in no spirit of hostility to Cook- lng. It was urged that the question ought to be decided. Friends of Mr. Conkling referred to the withdrawal of the Edmunds resolution, and thought other Senators ought to go as far in the way of conciliation. Finally an arrange- ment was made whereby a vote on the Burnside recolution was postponed, but {t was not, it is understood, withdrawn. It was by @ sort of common consent—no objection being made— that the vote was postponed. Some say the Edmunds resoluiion was withdrawn because it had been made plain that it would be de- feated. Meantime, by the tactics of delay adopted by the Conkling men, itis made to appear to outsiders that Conkling still holds the caucus With him. ‘Two caucuses have been held with the obj of meeting the President’s views by removing the only obstacle to action upon all nomioa- Uons—the late caucus de2ree as to one Ovj2c- ton. Both bave adjourned without accomo ish- ing this. The candid judgment of Senators evidently is that the caucus will eventually ds- cide to take up Robertson and all other nom'- nations, but as long as Mr. Conkling maintaia3 the rule he had adopted by the former caucus Appearances seem to be in his favor. This nas been suggested as throwing some lizht upon Mr. Conkiing’s dealre for del for his appeals yesterday in behalf of delay. Another Account of the Caucus. COMPROMISE TALK—PROPOSAL TO RBXCHANGE PLACRS FOR ROBERTSON AND CHANDLER. The republican Senators were in caucus four hours yesterday. Those who participated are exceedingly reticent, and the reply to those who seek information as to what was done fa “We did 1 . The pi ings were in the Dature of over the situation.” There Were no speeches made, and it is known that Senator Conkling had but little to say. At the caucus held on Monday it is veraciously stated that Senator Blair, of N. H., announced that it was his individual op!nton that the existing differences between the President and the Senate could be adjusted by E- Chandler and have them exchange giaees . Chandler and have them exc! places; that 1s, Robertaon to be solicitor general and Mr, Chandler to be collector of the port of New York. it is said that at yesterday’s caucus this basis of compromise was discussed. The pertinent, questions at issue were: Will the Preatdent assent? will Judge Robertson? will Wm. E. Chandler? and will the New York Senators? ‘These questions were the theme of the ruaning discussion, which held the caucus in seasion nearly four hours, A Senator said to-day; “I cancot say much, but I can that at yes- terday’s caucus it was evident that the spirit of compromise was abroad.” SOME SIDE ISSUES. The declaration attributed to the President, “that such Senators as failed him in the pend- ing emergency would hereafter require a letter of imtroauction to him,” ts being used to array Senators inst him. There are Senators who will stand by the President, and have meant to do so all along, but they say they cannot afford to be put in the position that en do 80 because 2. nounced in the caucus that while the President had delegated to no man the absolute right to Speak for him, that there was good reason to believe that both himself and Blaine would agree that Chandler and Robertson should exchange places. So far ag Senator Conkiing was concerned, the report is that he aid not assent or dissent to the proposition. ogee all sing has been that the New York collectorshi) longs to the patronage of Wim of New York. leaving matters ae where they have been for a Ww Meanwhile Senators in their indi- dus ity ‘ert themselves to bring harmony out of disco 6 thing 13 manner satisfactory to all concerned.
