WASHINGTON Thursday, April ~ 1867.
Immediately after the Senate went into Executive
session to-day the question of again extending the
session taken up. The general sentiment OF the
Senate to adjourn tomorrow but after quite q
proTaoted debate IL decided TO extend II 10 Sat
urday, with the understanding that they would GER
tanly adjourn on that day. 1t appears That there
are some revenue appointments IN PehnsylVanla ana
a few in Wisconsin that there is no hope Of filling
the Senate having rejected some 10 or l2persons IN
each of the districts The districts in Pennsylvania
are the First (Ssm. Randall's, the Fourth tKelleys
and the Ninth lThad Stevens's) The President con-
tinues 10 send nominations which are exceedingly
obnoxious to the Senate and also the members OF
Congress from those districts. tits understood that
the Senate Judiciary Committee to-day reported
adversely ON the case of Gen. Heron, recently
Nominated az United States Marshal for Louisiana
Charges of serious character preferred against
him. and the Committee could not consistently re-
port otherwise. All the facts in the case VIII be lad
before the Senate and the matter will be finally dis
posed of tomorrow. The case of Mr.. Raymond was
again under consideration to-day and the Senate re-
fused 10 adopt the report of the Committee, that no
vacancy exists in the Austrian mission. The ques-
ton OF confirmation wac then discussed up to the
hour of adjournment, without reaching any result
A motion will be made tomorrow TO lay the nomna-
ton Oh the table which VIII probably be carried
Both Senators from New-York are in favor OF con-
frning him, but the present Indications are that
they win De unable TO get him through. IL seems 10
be settled that Mr. Franklin will be rejected for the
Naval Office. Both the Senators from New-York are
opposed 10 him The other nominations are still lie
layed and the chances that they, too, will fail
The nomination of Cake Collector OF Philadel-
phia was to-day confirmed by vote of - to- feat-
man, ~ Postmaster at Cincinnati, was to-day re-
iected The published report that he haG been dis
posed of Yesterday was premature The name OF
Alexander r. Crawford az Collector of the First Dis
trict Pennsylvania, was again sent to the Senate to-
day. hut was not acted upon.
Senator Johnson's resolution providing that the
United States should offer THEN mediation To the bel
ligorents in Mexico, with view TO restore peace
honorable 10 both sides was taken up to-day IN
Executive session of the Senate. AZ lar as can DC
learned. Senator johnson supported the resolution
with a prepared speech and Senator Sumner spoke
at some length in favor Of II. Senator Fowler then
offered substitute setting forth that since the
United States had not thought proper to
interfere in the war in Mexico while the
French were there and It's interference might have
been of some advantage; and. since the MeAlcans
hayo shown the courage and determination To de-
fcnd the independence Of their country, ana had
succeeded IN expelling the foreign INVADER u was
the sense Of the Sc nate that this was no time 10 III
terfero in Mexican affairs and that the people OF the
limited States had full confidence in the manner in
which the Mexican people should treat their pris-
ones Of war. Senator Chandler spoke against
the resolution, and was followed by Senator Morton
who took the ground that Macmillan, being nothing
else Dan fllibustcr in Mexico, the United States
coEly +. interfere H. his behalf, just they would
not interfere TO save Walker Lopez that,
beside Macmillan. soon after his arrival in Mexico,
issued murderous aud baTbarous decree ordering
all Mexicans who would not support him TO be shot
within q hours after capture. Among them Major
Generals and other officers Of high rank and
knowedged worth were shot for the pretended crime
Of defending their country and their tresdes. That
the United States did not then interfere to prevent
this wholesale murder and assassination, in which
women and children included, and that, there
fore IL would not be becoming for them to interfere
now when the hllibuster and murderer is reduced
10 extremties; that il would, beside, he undinifed
for the Government 10 interfere in favor Of party
which, in all probability, has by this time been
subdued certainly long before the media
ton could reach Mexico; that the United
States having altogether ignored Macmillan
and the Empire from the beginning, they could not
now, if they had any regard for consistency,
acknowledge Maximilian's rule as Government,
and interfere in his favor with his enemies This
speech Of Senator Morton embraced many other
points aud il is said produced such an effect as 10
induce Senator Johnson 10 withdraw his resolution,
as a defeat seemed certain if it were pressed TO
direct vote. In the course of debate II was stated
by one of the friends of the resolution that Maxi
milan was not responsible for the bloody
decree by which the black flag was raised
i'm Mexico and he snpported his assertion by reading
a letter from European minister that the decree in
question was signed by Macmillan under compul-
sion of the French II is said this explanation did
not seem quite satisfactory, the French had dis
claimed all responsibility on the subject. The result
of the debate was decided against any interference
In behalf of Macmillan and his followers and an
expression of confidence in the ability of the Mexi-
can people TO deal with their prisoners of accord
ing TO the law of nations
There is a movement on foot in New-Jersey TO or
ganize the people In every Senatorial and Legislative
District throughout the State, for the purpose OF in
structng candidates for the Legislature TO favor
platform of equality before the law, and striking the
word white" from the State Constitution. Senator
Sumner to-day sanctioned the movement as follows
TO my mind, IL is clear that Constitution with
the word white is not republican in FORM The
discriminating word should be cxpunged at once"
Thaddeus Stevens has also written letter, in which
he SAYS: "New-Jcrsey would disgrace her sister
Republics should she leave the word white in her
Constitution"
