Debate n the Senate ON the Presidents Policy
In Making Appointments,

Ing trial Of strength between MessrA Doolittle and
Dixon one side and Nye and Ferry the other Tho
AFFAIR broke out during argument adjournment,
which branched on into lively discussion on the Pres
idents policy in making nominations and the senate's
policy in unmaking them. Nessra Dooitte and Dixon
defended the President warmly, contending that the
odium Of not ling vacancies belonged TO the Senate
more than to Mr. johnson Nj. Nye, who seemed to be
In his best roncal mood astonshed tho Senate by the
adroitness with which he replied TO Doolttle and Dixon
and the rapidy and point Of his reparteea In long
speech he entertained the grave Senator'S and frequently
dispelled the solemny Of their aspects by his broad
humor In fact the Senate INDUCED In perfect roar
two three times which had the rare effect Of making
the dooIkeepen open their eyes with wonder and Of
seriously alarming sixteen Japanese tumblers who were
listening in Of the galleries to the debate. The Jap.
anese seemed thunder struck whom the Senators roared
and looked at each other dubously apparently uncer
tain whether they ought not TO draw their swords and
make the nearest doorkeeper commit 'an Kari.n The
tumble evidently not accustomed 70 such curious
sounds in their own country. Al all events they seemed
highly displeased. and Afterwards gathered themselves
up In solemn order and tramped out OF the chamber.
After their departure Senators Ferry and Dixon had
nice little skrmsh the lessons Of the Connecticut
election. Ferry exhibited the cloven fost by pitching
into the foreign element Of the 'Nutmeg State"
roughly. Dixon handled Ferry without mercy
in replying 70 his remarks; and ndeod II may be said
that the latter with little sympathy from any quar-
ter Some Of the radical Senators said privately that
Ferry had acted most indiscreey, and that Dixon had
properly rebuked him.
After the argument to-day IL seems likely that the
Senate win conclude It's extraordinary session next Tues
day It Is rumored that should this happen, the Pres
dent will Immediately issue another proclamation calling
them together again.
