WASHINGTON. New Strategy Developed by the Administration, NO PARTISANS, NO ALLIES, NO SUPPORTERS. An Executive that Has No Coat Tails to Tread On. WHERE ARE THE LOUISIANA SENATORS? Nominations Sent to the Senate by the President, FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. * Wasnrxerox, Oct. 17, 187% BOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN—A PRESI- DENT WITHOUT’ A PARTY IN FIIHER HOUSE OF CONGRESS OR A DESIRE FOR ONES ‘Tho administration is trying a policy which has at least the merit of novelty, the policy of having abso- lutely no policy so far as Congross is concerned. The President nas not onty, so faras can be discovered, no party in either house, butalltho signs show that he does not mean to have any, All the ex- pressions mado in conversation by members of the administration confirm this somewhat startling view and mako it appear that the Prosident’s theory is that he shall execute the laws, but that ho will absolutely refrain from the least attempt to influence the action of Congress orof any member of iton any subject; that he will make appointments and removals where tho good of the public’ service ro- quires it, but leave the quostion of contirmation absolutely to the Senate without the slightest attempt to influence anybody’s conclusions, For instance, it is generally granted that the admission of the two Louisiana Senators would be an approval by the Senate of tho President’s Southern policy, and what one would call an administration success, It 1s cortain that if the President should express a wish on the .Bubject enough republicans would vote for their admission to secure it, and if he desired it, moro than one republican Senator would at once present and ad- Vocate, as an administration measure, a resolution for the immediate admission of Mossra. Spofford and Eustis. Butthere is no doubt to-day that tho Presi- dent hos entirely held aloof. He nas not asked any Benator to vote for or take any steps Jor their admission, It is said this evening that the two cases will undoubtedly be referred to the Committee on Elections, there to rest, 1t is now be- Heved, foralong time. And if one asks in bewilder- ment whetber this will be an administration defeat, the calm answer of the President’s friends is:— “Not at all, It ts the business of the Senato and not of the President, 1! a majority of Senators choose to deprive a State of its constitutional represen- tation in one branch of Congress that is their = adventure. They do it on their own responsibility. The President has nothing todo with it. 1t 18a matter which hos between these Senators and the country.” If, again, one asks these gentlemen what the ad- ministration thinks about getting its nominations con- firmed, and whether it will not get its friends to ad- Vocate them, tho answer again is:— “Not atall, The Senate ought not to be influenced. Senators must use their own judgments, acting on oath, It is the Prosident’s duty toname fit mon. If the Senate rejects them thatis its business. It ought not to reject fit and proper men, but if it docs tho Prosident must sabmit and will doubtless try to find “others.” zat If one asks, “ssut will not the admiptetrution try to conciliate zomd’Senators?” the roply is:— “Of course not, What has it to do with conciliation? It has a duty to perform toward the nation—to select proper persons for tbe subordinate executive func- tions. It means to do that duty.” “But political considerations wieht have weight,” you say, and the President's friends reply, “Good Heavens! what have politics todo with bunting up and appointing to office the best men you can get to accept ?’? This theory of non-intervention in fact is perfect ai all points, The President will do his constitutional duty, bat he will not seek for friends, allies, sup- porters or partisans in oither House of Congress. Ho will not disobligo any Senator or member if he can properly avoid it, but he will not seck either to conciliate or influence any. He leaves them to the absolutely unrestrained exercise of their judgment and to the entire responsibility of what they may see fit to do, and, if no is rightly reported, he hols that the Sonators who, under the constitution, have to sit in judgment upon appointments, who are Made judges to decide on oath, cannot properly urge or instruct him beforehand as to nominations to office; that he has a right to ask advice and information on such subjects from members of the House, but not from Senators, who area court to sit upon hig nominations alter they are mado, To the average Senatorial mind thts theory 1s.utter non- sense and foolishness, but thero are persons who ve- lieve that if it suould be faithtully adhered to it might prove embarrassing to the anti-administration republicans, who aro itebing for a fight, and fully intend to “smash”? Hayes, but who need, of course, somebody to fight against them and something to fight about, As someone said here to-day, speaking of this matte “They are ready to tread on the administration’s coattails, but the administration ts just now wearing a jacket.” It would be a hit for the anti-administration republicans to put the President in tho attitude of Johnsonizing, but if he asks nothing, seeks notuing, out leaves them to the unrestrained performance ot their own swect wills, they can hardiy make this point against him, At present they bave the impression that he is intimidated, but in that they are probably mistaken. Tho few Senators who are generally spoken of as especially administration men have certainly the appearance of being intimidated, Dut it ts quite possible they are only bewildered at the discovery that tho President has no work for them to perform and no policy for them to detond, GENERAL HARLAN’S NOMINATION—-FRIENDS OF BRISTOW INDIGNANT-—THE NEW YORK Ar- POINTMENTS. General Harian’s nomination to tho vacant Supreme Judgeship, which was sent in to-day and referred toa committee, stirs a curious political breeze, It has made the Iriends and followors of Mr. Bristow furious, They declare, privately, that Harlan has treacher- ously betrayed his friends; that he has “gone back on” the man to whom he owed everything. They do not hesitate to assert that Harlan has stolen Bristow’s owe lamb. Mr. Bristow bas the quality of making firm and enthusiastic friends, and these in private de nounce General Harlan without stint as an ingrate and an unfaithful ally, Ot course in this view the nomi- Dation will not be displeasing to Messrs, Blaine and Conkling, and indeed toa good many other Senators, who chuckle over what is considered a defeat of Mr. Bristow. But with such considerations the ad- ministration as of course nothing todo. It bas only to make a proper nomination, There was a report to-day that the New York nom!- nations would not ve eent in until after the November clections, but they will be sent in, in a few days, It {8 understood that tho President desired to give the Naval Ufficer’s place, which is substantially a sinecure, to some worthy disabled army oflicer ot proper qualificas tions, and the delay in xending in the nominations bas, report says, been caused by the search for some such man, The names will be sent in as soon as the third man {6 found, and the most trustworthy friends of the administration scout the notion that the Presivcnt means to do or retrain from avything proper = ands timely «with view to the November olections, The President, it one may believe tho reports of bis iriends, 18 still of the opinion that ‘‘he serves hie party best who serves his country best,” and they say that the attempt to crowd him out of the republican party is not likely to succeed just now. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT, Wasuintow, Oct, 17, 1877. THE LOUISIANA SENATORS—HOW THE SESSION 18 LIKELY TO BE PROLONGED, A leading democratic Senator to-day, in reply to an inquiry as to the probable jength of the extra session, said that neither the extra nor rogular session of Con- gress would be long enough to seat Mr. W. P. Kellogg as Senator from Loursiana, then added;—‘The ca- pacity of tho democratic Senators for a long de- bate, I belie bas bever been fully tested. The motion of Seautor Edmunds to discharge the Com- mitteo on Privileges and Elections from. the further consideration of the credentials of Mr, Kellogg will, it agreed to, bring the credentials of both Mr. Spoftord and Mr. Keliogg before the Senate. If then tho mo- tion is made to seat Mr, Kellogg it will be amonded by substiguting the name of Mr. Spofford, and vice versa should the democrate take the initiative In either event the ‘capacity of the democratic Senators fora long debate” will begin to be tested. MR, CONKLING OBJECTS TO THE MANNER OF APPOINTMENTS—A GENERAL REFERENCE TO COMMITTEES, In executive session to-day, when the President’s appointments were taken up for constderation, Mr. Conkling said they came in a shapo which left it 1m- possible for the Senate to determine whether they were original appoiutments or whether they were mado in the piace of persons removed or to fill vacancies, ‘There was no word of explanation in apy case submitted with the appointments, Mr, Conkling was under- stood to object for the present to the manner in which the Presidont had made the appointments rather than to the appointments themselves, His remarks had their influence in determining the Senate to rofer all appointments to tle appropriate committeos, so that not a single name was confirmed, Senator Jones has been in town ever since Saturday, flo has participated tn all the republican Senatorial caucuses, a8 have Messrs, Christiancy and Kooth. Senator David Davis is the only Senator who bas oot taken part in one oF tho other caucus, MILEAGE OF CONGRESSMEN FOR THE EXTRA SESSION. Congressmen are vexed at information givon them by Sergeant-at-Arms Thompson regaraing mileago for the extra session. There is no law for it, and Mr. Thompson intorme tho applicants with smiling grace that it is not his fault, One of the Ohio delegation to- day remarked that he would rathor have given $1,0.0 than been culled away at this time, but to have to pay for the privilege of coming was putting it on a little too thick, even for the reconciliauon Policy. He isa democrat, Constructively the mom- vers clatm that they are entitled to extra mileage as though the session bad been called in midsummor and lasted but a month- The fact that it may run inio December does not alter the equity of the clam in the opinion of most of the members spoken to on the subject to-day, Should business even occupy then till twelve o’clock meridian on the first Monday of Decomber an adjourn- ment niust be had sine ag though the regular ses- sion did not follow, special legislation being necessary to provide for the much coveted extra mileage allow- ance. A bill will probably be introduced next Monday covering tho legislation needed, SPEAKER RANDALL'S ABSENCE. Speaker Randall Jeaves tor Philadelphia to-morrow morning, and will be absent until Saturday morning. The adjournment bad to-day virtually extends until pext Monday, the understanding being that the meet- ing on Saturday sball be followed by immediate adjournment, THE JUDGE OF THE SIXTH CIRCUIT—MR. JOHN BAXTER, OF TENNESSEE, TO RECEIVE THE APPOINTMENT. The name ot General John M. Harlan, of Kentucky, having been sent to the Senate for confirmation as Associaté Justice of the Supreme Court, the Presi- deat, it is understood, has decided to tender the next important judicial appointment of Judge of the Sixth Circutt to Mr John Baxter of Knoxville, ‘Teno., hw record boeing _ fre from the taint” of -revellteti “than any of “the South- ern candidates for this office; Colonel Baxter is about ufty-lve years old, a native of North Caro- Jina and at one time President of the Stato Senate of North Carolina. He was a Union man during the war and ranks as a moderate republican, He bas never cecupicd a judicial ,position of aay kind, but his ability as a lawyer places him at the head of his professsion in the South, ard it {fs said his income from: professional business is the largest of any attorney in tho Southern States, His ambition was to secure the place of Associate Justice, and for this ho bad the personal influence of Senator Matthews and Congressman J. D, Cox, of Ohio, Besides these the Tennessee and North Carolina delegations indorse Mr. Baxter for any judicial appointment in the gift of the President. THE FIRST VICTIM TO THE CIVIL SERVICE ORDER—CONSUL CHANCE, OF NASSAU, N. P., 10 BE REMOVED. The President is understood to have mado to-day tho first important removal of an office-bolder under his recent civil service order relative to federal officials Participating in politics. It is said that he bas decided to remove from the post of consul at Nassau, in the Bahama Islands, the ante-bellum Ohio Congressman Mablon Chance, who has held his present position eight years, having been appointed by President Grant soon after his inauguration. The person named for appointment in his stead is another Ohio man, J. C, McLain, of Warren, Trumbell county, a retired banker and a former member of the Legislature. Mr. Chance lett his post, came home and entered actively into the recent Ohio campaign in violation of the civil service order, and 1s said to have done so with a view ofstrengthening his claims for a moro important place in the diplomatic service. His reported suc- cossor, Mr. McLain, held an interview with the Presi- dent to-day. — GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES, Wasuinatos, Oct. 17, 1877. NOMINATIONS SENT TO THE SENATE BY THE PRESIDENT.

General McClellan Thanks the Party and Defines His Position, ANTICIPATIONS OF VICTORY [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Tauston, N, J., Oot. 17, 1877. There has been an immense outpouring of the de- mocrucy here to-night from all sections of the State, the eceasion being a reception tendered to General George B. McClellan, The distinguished visitor, with bis family, arrived in the afternuon in a quiet woy, and proceeded to the Trenton House, He was taken in charge by the leading lights of his party:—Secrotary of Stato Henry C, Kel sey, Berjamin F, ‘Tee, Henry 8. Little, Colonel Jobn A. Hall, . DD. W. Vrooman and others, At seven o’clock the sound of fifes and drums calied out the organizations known ag the White Boys in Biue, Young Men’s Democratic Club and the Blue Jean Legion. They numbered about five hundred men, under the command of Howell Stull, grand marshal, Toe tine, with blazing torch: and martial music, moved to the Trenton House, Many houses were iuminated and there was a protuse display of bunting. General MeClollan stopped into a carriage and was escorted to Taylor Hall, which was crammed an hour before, Outside thousands were con- groguted. Iho hail was literally covered with flags of allnations, The stage was oceupicd by leading demo- crals, THR MEETING. At fifteen minutes past cight o’clock the General appeared, which was the signul tor deatening applause, Colonel Hall introduced Senator Stockton as the pre- siding officer. After thanking the assemblage for the the kind reception, he said;—We aro met at an ims portant timo and onan auspicious occas.on, While Samuol J, Tilden is travelling on the bigh seas, whose piace in Washington is filed by one who never was elected, we can gay that the State of Hayes and Stanley Matthews has repudiated them. The victory in Obio is a grest moral loeson. The democratic party bad promised the poor man good days and aiso to bury ail sectional strife; that promise would have been fulfilled if Tilden got his rights Ono of the great ob_ jects of the democratic purty was to reform taxation und have economical government, This was carried out by Samuel J, Randall in tue House of Representa- tives, when he decreased taxation by $40,000,000, Now, with the House of Representatives democratic, the Senate within our grasp and Hayes compelled to carry out the policy of the democratic party, we are enabled to fullil many promises. OUR NOMINEE FOR GOVERNOR, But I um not here to talk politics, but to introduce McClellan. (Cheers.) He wus seiected for the deino- cratic standard bearer because of a spoutancous out- burst of tho feeling of the Convention, No manipula- ton could have ucgomplishea it with any other name iu New Jersey, He alluded to McClellan's name being mentionod in the Couveution that nominated Governor Bedle three years ago when tifteen minutes? enthusiasm susted before order was restored, McClellan would have received many other houors if be would accept them, He adv.ried to the young hero of the army of the Potomac, one on whom the country showered Bull Run; one who made the greatest army in the world—McClellan, (Immense cheers.) The soldiers cried, * Give us back our old commander,” but he was sent to report at Trenton. Here a banuer was held up in the hall bearing tho words :— eaccenrecersrercsecereerrecerate rere rene te rerete re ® } McClellan was called to Trenton in J864 We wilt call him again in 1878, Cire cnceneee te aetb tt TEtO tt DELO RETE ETE DE TO b0 tb bb rete e Ho was pot nominated because he Was a great sol- dier, but because he iost the army of the Potomac, and would not surrender his notions Of constitutional gov- ernment and freecom.

His first visit was fifteon years ago, when he came, not of his own volition, but ause ho was tuken trom a proud and gallant army with wnich ho was as- sociated Irom 11s existence. Lt was not necessary Lo relate the stosy of the parting. There were sad hearts at that time when the parting took placo und noue were sadder than his, He came to Trenton as an exiie in need of kindness, and the kindness and friendship he received shall never be forgotten: He thanked the people of Trenton for i.

He expressed earnest thanks for the nonidnation and reception to-night. Rich as our vocabulary 16 he could not fiud words to oxpress his gratification, Ho Was well aware there were duties commensurate with that obligation, but it was not very easy to tullil the expectations, If elected he will feel, while in efiice as the representative of the wnole democratic party, and net a faction or wing. There should be no factious wings or heart-burpings among us. While tally recog- nizing the immense Vaiue of the enthusiasm of our party It should at the samo time inspire them to more active exertions, Let us take nothing for grauted, Tnspirited by tho brilliant example of our iriends 10 Onto, let us make this @ great victory—the greatest ever achieved in the State, PROMISES, If elected he shall use every power for the good of the Commonwealth. His party bolds the good of tno people in preference to its oWn interests. He would do his best Lo restore prosperity to the suflering people, without regard to party orclass. Ho owed a Vast debt ot gratitude and love to bis noble State. He then alluded to its climate, soil, mines, tinber, manufactures and markers, all of which were grent, and to its active, intelligent, mdustrivus people.

That was a good while ago, but now there 18 no more drilling.” Tho arms were stored away in “the arsenal,” as it is called, under tho laboratory of the scientific depart. ment, and there they are getting as rusty as the old Queen's arm which Gran’ther Youlng tetched back from Concord “busted,” in Lowell's poem of “The Courtier.” As they are no longer useful, or rather as there never was a possibility ‘hat they ever would be of auy use among the uudergraduates of Rutzers, they now gorve the purpose of making mischief in the institution, and during the Inst wock they have been tho cause of a very pretty scandal, At the beginning of the present scholastic year Rutgers College inducted into office a new protessor of mathomatics, Professor G. B. Merriman, Whether he was 4 merry Man or Dot was @ grave question with the students, aud so the junior class determined to solve the problom, Naturally, the best time to do this was when the Professor should be ready with the solution of some intricate proposition in geometry ot trigonometry, Accordingly, on Wednesaay of last Weex, the whole class entered the recitation room where Proteesor Merriman was awaiting them, and to the Professor's surprise every man ip the class—in oar Atmerican colleges every boy calis every other boy a mab—was armed with an Old-tashioned Springteld musket, Being wew to the coilege and pov yet uly versvd in the peculiar customs and practices of the youngsters in this Venerable institute, We Professor Was not quite prepared for such un tnexpected ineurs sion, bat fing the class a militury orzanization, without officers and without any one to vive the Word of command, he felt it incumbent upon humnsell to as- sume the duties of a commander-in-chiet, “Stack arms!” he cried, and the order was at once obeyed. When the Springfleld muskets were arranged in balla dozen stacks in tho rear of the recitation room the Professor issued bis next command. FROM MILITARY TO CIVIL KULE “To books!” he exclaimed, and immediately the ordinary duties of the class began, While the boys were déep in the mysteries o d “Olney’s Differential and Integral Calculus faced janitor, who might be mistaken for a conic Lon by people who don’t know what a conic section is, quietly removed the shooting irons. When asked what they mvant by this diversion the youngsters ex. plained tbbt they were only irying tho Professor's meta’, and they declared that if be was satisied with their display of ola iron they were, had ordered them to “stack arms;” they had obeyed, and that, they supposed, would bo the end of the joke. jowever Professor Merriman may have (elt in the aflair {t was soon apparent (hat the inatter wis not to end so easily for the youngsters as they had tmogined.
