The Whole Conkling-Platt Bensation Seems a Thing of the Past. Gen. Grant Writes an Epistle to the President Urging Robertson's Withdrawal. THE PRESIDENT WAITED UPOX. Natlonal Associated Press. Wassrxorox, May 18—10 p. m.— ‘The committee appointed by the sen- ate to wait upon the president, report that he has two hundred nominations to make and he will send them in as fast a5 possible. ONLY FOUR VOTES AGANST ROBERTSON'S CONFIRMATION. & The vote on the Robertson nom- ination was viva voce, and the nega- tive votes woro scarcely sudible. Observant senators say they onl heard four nays during the vote,whic were by Senators Ingalls, Don Cam- eron, J ones, of Yevads, and Farley. Senator Logan's voice was not heard. THE RESULT CONCEDED. Conkling and Platt's resignation as consiciered in the light of Washing- ton’s sensation, has fallen flat. Not €ven the confirmation of Judge Rob- ertson has added fire to the gossips. That the result was conceded yester- day, and so ly that no one ex- pected oppokition in_the senate and the only surprise manifested is that no vote was demanded or not even a viva voce vote deemed necessary: - When. the confirmation was a fact, the whole Conkling-Platt sensation seemed a thing of the past. The hotel corridors are all desorted to-night and no knots of politicians are scen Wiscussing the situation. SMOOTHLY ACCOMPLISHED _ The confirmation of Robertson Oy the senate yesterday was 8o smoothly accomplished that it was al- most a matter of disappomtment to those who expected an open fight in the senate. Since the vonfirmation Tas been announced, Senators are not loath to disclose, how it was accom- plistied. Tt appéars that there wasno vote taken on the nomination at all, but that it was confirmed by common consent. As soom as the doors of the chamber were closed a messoniger ar- rived with a communieation from the president, in addition to several nom- inations.

GENERAL COMMBNTS. Secretary Kirkwood says that if Towa senators had acted as the New York senators have done, and for the same reason, the whole stato would be now laughingat them. J. B. Hawley, ex-assistant secrotary of the navy, said: “I don't think that a single nomination is sufficient rea- for the senators’ resignation. At the same time I think the removal of Merritt in the middle of his term, when there were no charges agai port of the president. I know Moer- ritt very well, and am_acqudinted with the manageniefit of his office. He has proved to be an eficient - ser- vant. 1 don’t mean to eriticisc Conk- ling, as he ought to know the best to adopt among sena- ital.” | AT ALBANY, National Asmociated Pross. Awmaxy, N.

I was alse gratified with the unanimous tender of thanks to the president for the nomination by my associates in the legislature, and -the senate for its prompt confirmation. I was by the generous support which the entire press of the country, with rare cxooptions, gave the presic dent in the contest-that vesulted i my confirmation. I was i with the almost univorsal expression of republicans and democrats_ every- where throughout the length and breadth of the land in commendation of the president’s course throughout the entire affoir. GEN, GRANT URGES ROBERTSON'S WITH- DRAWAL. National Associated Press. WasHINGTON, May 19—1 a. m.— It now transpires that a lebter wriiten vy_Gon Grant, urging the with- drawal of Robertson’s nomination, was delivered to the president by Sen: ator Jonts, of Nevaua. . Tt cannot be ascertained what reply President Gar- field made to Gen. Grant, beyond that indicated in his neglest to act upon his suggestion. One of the latest ru- mors is to the effect that a job has already been fixed that both Conkling and Platt are to be re-elected, but Platt will ‘agree that Conkling shall be elected for the long term, he tak- ing the short term. If such an ar- rangement can be brought about it will leave Conkling's term to 1887, whichwill be two yeirs beyorid the term of President Garfield, and leave him free to antagonize the president without any worry of looking out for any senatorial bacon in 1884. Another rumor comes from Albany that whilo the anti-Conkling members of the legislature may not be stror enough prevent his reselection, they can force an adjournment and have the election put off until next| ‘wintor. . POSTMASTER GENERAL JAMES SPEAKS. Postmaster General James claims that he, has beon misrepresented in Tuesday's interview with Fini b the matter of the Janies-Arthur-Conkling- Platt lotter to- the president, aski the withdrawal of Robertson's yiomi- nation. He was quoted as having in- timated that the president had in- formed none of these gentlemen that u*nh was contemplited in the collectorship oI New g'nrl(. What the postmaster general did say was that he had had no conversation with g5 3| the president on.that subject until af- ter the nomination of Robertson. He did not pretend to speak for others.

Merritt will be issued, it is generally under- stood m administration circles that the commissions will not be issued 4ill the first of July. This arrange- ment will have a two-fold advantage. Collector Merritt will thus have a chance to finish up the fiseal year in the New York’ custom house, which ill of course allow him time to leave it in_excellent condition and to be | himself more fully prepared for his change of residence, and Judge Rob- ertaon will have several wocks at his. $ SENATE. National Associated Press. Wasnixarox, May 18.—This morn- ing's conSrmation of Robertson was set down as one of the first astions in to-day's exccutive secsion. The senatorial conversation turns more geneially towards the final ad- journment. A messago of inquiry will doubfless E::io the president to-day, and the nominationsara expected to-mor- row. Under objection they will go over one day, 5o the adjournment may be delayed until Friday, and possibly over Saturday, but with unanimous consent there can be an immediate and final adjournment possible to-morzow. The galleries were crowded when the senate was called to order. Very fow republicans were in their seats un- til after the record had been read. Senator Dawes offered a resolution for the J:lym&nt of one month’s extra pay to the employes of the secretary’s office, and the officers of the senate, in view of the unexpected extra duties that they had been called upon to perform. At the suggestions of Mr, Sherman the resolution was referred to the com- mittee on contingent expenses. Senator Burnside led up a reso- lution declaring it best for the inter- ests of the United States that the gov- ernment insist on havirig a voice in all plans for inter-oceanic ship canals in America, and he asked immediate action. Senators Sherman, Ingalls, and Jones, of Florida, opposed action on it as inexpedient; especially since it was purely legislative business, and needed also the co-operation of the other branch of congress. Senator Sherman moved to postpone the resolution unti the first Monda in December next, which was carriel. Senator Burnside alone voted *‘no.” At 12:15 p. m., the senate wsnt in to executive session. At 1:25 p. m. the senate took recess for one hour. NOMINATIONS. ‘National Associated Press. WasmiNerox, D. ident C., May 19—1a. m. yesterday made the following nominations: ~ George H.
