The Senate today passed the Alexandra Retro
cession Bill. after which they went into Executive
! Session where they remained nearly two hours

into them in my letter to night
Mr. BKlsKERno OFF who moved the resolution TO
cxpel The Tribune from the privileges accorded 10
the Press, has finally found MS proper level. The

having voted TO create three new PaymasSerships

enough 10 induce Mr.. BRIsKERHoFF 10 break

upon il that Mr.. BRINKEkHoFF must move to e1Pel

on Mr. BKInKERHoFF than Persimons was on

II is generally believed TO day. that the frieHds OF
the New Tariff or anti.Taritf, scheme will succeed
still think that there is chance OF their falling
