S Mr. Sherman opposed the resolution Under existing law there was a register made uo of all offices and employes of the government, which was itself a very expensive document. It contained all the information which was called for by the present resolution, with the exception of the information relative to the person or persons on whose recommendation the appointments were made. That informa- tion would only gtve a handle to enable per- sons Feeking office to get out men who were valuable from long pubile service. Mr. Bayard agreed with the Senator from Obio (Mr. Sherman) in opposing the resolution, ene move that It be referred to the committee iz. ir. Brown centended that the object sought by the resolution was a proper one, but thought, that itcould be better attained by the resolu- tion offered yesterday by the Senator from lowa, (Mr. McPIiL.)- Mr. Kellogg argued that the information asked for by the resolution was not contained in the “Blue Book.” If it were true that there ‘Were scores of persons employed tu the various departments who were born in northern states and who bad never seen a state south of Mason and Dixon’s line, and who were, how- ever, credited to southern states, that wrong ought to be righted. Let the resolution be re- ferred to the committee on printing, and let us whole question be taken into considera- jon. Wr. Morrill considered this matter as one of minor importance.

Mr. McDill cAiled up the resolution offered by him yesterday directing that hereafter there Shall be contained in the cfficial register ot the United States information as to the Congres- sional district from which each government employe is appointed. Mr. Brown offered an amendment asking for the further information to whether such employes are white or colored. Race differences should not make any difference. The resolution and amendment were referred to the committee on printing. * Mr. Hoar offered a resolution directing the committee on privileges and elections to in- quire and report at the next session of Congress what measures are necessary to secure the ascertainment and declaration of theresult of = cette of President and Vice Presid2nt. 0) ‘The Senate then, at 1 o'clock, went tato ex- ecutive session.

In to-day’s N. Y¥. fridune Mr. Thomas M. Nichol makes a short but decidedly sharp reply to the five-column article in the New York Heraa purporting to give the his- tory of conferences between Garfield and Conkling at New York and Mentor. This arti- gure feianty Saree oar was, or dictat by him. Aer iene wis wena & position to Know a Geal about the matter, says that the tone of the article treats the Be tint eee ir. Blaine. This is ‘The President and the Senator. THE PRESENT ft ated OF THE UNPLEASANT- Nl Itisevicent that a pretty vigorous effort is being made to harmonize the differences in the Tepudlican party brought about by the nomt- nation of Judge Robertson. Just in what di- rection is a secret, however, which the seaa- tors keep to themselves. Senator Kellogg saia to a Star representative last night, “1 think ‘the Senate will adjourn in ten days.” “But will you voteon Judge Robertson mean- while?” quoth the Star man. “I think we will,” was the answer, ‘but then We may or may not.” “Yes,” he added, “We may and we may not.” 0 A democratic Senator said last be hed all I can gather from conversations with repub- Mean Senators think there is going to bea nt” of . Despite denials from any quarter itis now known that the exchange of places between Judge Robertson and Wm. E. Chandler was a subject of discussion at the caucus held on Tuesday; and further, tt can be sald that more than one Senator advocated it as the best means Of adjustment of the present trouble. On behalf of the President, itis sald by his friends that he has no idea of receeding from his position; that are Senators who will vote for Judge Robertson’s condrmation who would be better pleased though it he could be con- firmed without the ald of democratic votes. They admit he cannot. Hence some of them thirk, in view of this fact, that it may be pay- ing too dearly tor the whistle to force Rovert- sn through, and put the adminjstration uader obligations to the democrats. To-day several Senators have called on the President to see if an adjustment cannot ba reached whereby harmony can be restored. ‘Much will depend upon the result of these in- terviews Ifthe President is decided in matn- talning his tion in regard to the Robertson nomination it is not improbable a caucus will be held to-morrow, at which this fact will be reported, The Situation To-day. NO PROSPECT OF A COMPROMIBE—THE ISSUE TO BE FOUGHT OUT SQUARBLY. It can be stated with posttiveness that up to 8 late hour this afternoon the President has no idea of withdrawing the name of Judge kob- ertson. He takes the ground that the Senate bas the nomination before It, and it is the duty of that body to either confirm or reject it. ‘This being the President’s fina! decision, the Probability is that a caucus of republican Sen- ators will be speedily held to decide upon the course to be followed. It has been said that the failure of the judici- ary committee to act upon the nomination of Wom. E.
