Failing with the Senator Weed again appealed TO Mr.
Harris, and even commenced to make threats but Mr..
Harris was immoveabe; he replied that he would re-

that there no real love existing between Weed and
Harris.

he would not then 60 in for an adjournment Members
in the caucus were sent for and they refused In the
meantime the balotting went on the excitement and
nervousness around the Executive Chamber increased
the fact became apparent that Evarts vote could not be
increased Before the commencement Of the eighth bal
lot Weed was ready to give IN and Try and he could
not nominate Harris He afraid that the other side
would and nominate him. and thus no would have
claims upon him, and at asked Mr. Evarts il the
orders TO break should not be given. No, says
Evarts; let US try one more ballot The bal
lot tried, and Greeeys vote ran UP to AZ
and Evarts fell back to 80. Longer delay was now
dangerous A rumor was carried to the Executive
Chamber that the Harris after ballot would
60 over TO Greeley. This piece of news like the
death knei to those in the Executive Chamber Orders
at nsued for the Evarts to 90 to
Harris and all but twelve 1beyed the first ballot and
on the next or tenth ballot Harris nomnated-the
Greeley men rejoicing 1t much than the
other side In fact large number Of those who voted
for Greeley preferred harris to Greeley for the
reason that he is more conservative in his
views but went for Greeley for other than
break the slate. There a general disposition to
smash things generally Robinson and that did not
support Greeley because they wanted him. but to
ccmplish one thing only they in fact allowed every
other consideration TO sink before the idea Of de-
sroying the power Of Weed that the issue that
cured at least one half Of the Greeley vote ana they
would have voted precisely the same Weed had
taken any other person. II was trial Of strength be-
tween the Regency and its opponents impartial
form any other conclusion Of the result than that the
Regency got wort Of It, And the hangers on to
that faith Immediately get mad the moment person
states otherwise Like the BourboIs, they rave and tear
when informed Of their true position.
After the adjournment rich took place 10 the
Executive Chamber. 1t seems that Weed esped
Brown, County Clerk Of Monroe county in the and
Weed "You have kept Seden In the field and got three
to vote for him so as TO keep them oil from Evars,
when you knew that he was not candidate, and shall
hold you responsible"
To this Brown commenced reply, but be-
1ere it was known what he had to say
that he BROWN, although Of the delegates from this
State 10 Chicago, worked against Stewards nomination
there, and did all he could to defeat him.
This Brown denied point blank, but Weed reiterated it.
and stated that he had the proof Brown again denied it.
and demanded the proof in an excited manner
Waedr he proof Is uJic
and you, sir, shall be held responsible"
Brown again denied 1t, using some hard words when
Weed turned from him and left making tracks to the De
lavan House, where be dned with senator or, as he is
better known, Farmer Abel
There considerable excitement in the crowd at the
Deavan and all manner Of doeful lamentations uttered
the defeat Of Evarts. One Of the regular army
Congress Hall last fall to the crowd the next United
States Senator Now is not bad that he has got to
be slaughtered by TINT id drab coat vagabond Of the
TriJ,neSn
"Never mind" says another voice; "kecp up good
courage; better days coming. We shall have new deal
soon, and then will see who will come up"
In this way the excitement went on whilst Eyarts,
with heavy heart, at Congress Hall. tn,
Greeley, Harris and Weed stopping at that
hotel were in a room together drinking smoking sing
ing and hurrahing in honor Of the resut-all equally
satisfied over the noinat,on and everybody declaring
pledged 10 either sde occupying Independent position
He, Of course has been nominated by Weed but wa
a force OF circumstances that compelled Weed TO tax
him up, not because he wanted him.
The fact Of the matter is, in direct vote as betwee
sixty votes beyond peradventure. There is considerable
noise about ruption this morning. The KnicerjOer

judge The EDITOR of the Knicrocr is for he has been
active man in the lobby for years II is claimed
the Evarts side that fifteen men were bought up for
Greeley that would otherwise go for Evarts, but the
only fact TO base this upon Is suspicion arising from the
statement Of of the members OF the House, that
Greeley man same to him and offered TO bet him $500
that Greeley would not United States Senator and
uha he I'M
10 bet the Greeley man replied that he would
lend him the money. This has been construed into an
offer To bribe. The Offer ii is said, made by per-
son by the name Of Wood, from Now York, and IL has
since tronprcd that the leading in favor Of Greeley
have knowledge Of such person. but then there
is considerable smoke about this morning. let have

There was a lengthy debate in tho Senate this morning
the Commissioner proposition It seems to be meet
ing with bitter opposition from several Of the radical
Senators, many of whom, IL their true position was
known would be found at heart out and out for
sim. This really the of large portion OF the
bitter opposition tho House obinsons resolutions,
and have not the least doubt If Senator Hammond
and three four Of the other extreme republ
can Senator's should announce Their true feelings,
IL would be precisely the the fire
eaters Of South Carolina afternamely, secession
Many Of the members Of the House openly state in
private conversation there IL need Of compromising
with the South; agree with them again; let
separate. This argument have heard used daily; and

OF the Commissioners that have been agreed upon
by the House.
