DYER COURT OF lNQUlRl-RAIIFlCAlION VI
THE TRADEMARK TREATY WITH FRANCE
lBY TELEGRAPH TO TRBUNBl
WASHINGTON, Monday April 49, 1862
The Senate sat in open session to-day for nearly an
hour. Most Of the time was occupied by senator
Chandler in q warlike speech on foreign reIasionS
with Great Britain. He offered resolution that III
the Judgment of the Senate the true solution OF all
the controversies existing between Great Britain and
the United States VIII be found in the surrender of
all the British possessions in North America to the
people of the United States and requesting the Pres
ident to open negotiations soon as practicable for
the settlement of all matters in dispute such basis.
The resolution was finally referred to Mr.. Summers
Committee. The California Senators made personal
explanations, denying that they responsible for
the sensational dispatch printed in New York daily
newspaper, to the effect that the President contem-
plated calling an extra session of Congress-
The subject Of adjournment was under discussion
by the Senate to-day for some time, but day was
fixed upon. Many of the Senator'S believe the bust
ness may DO SO far advanced that an adjournment
can be reached tomorrow night. This. however is
hardly probable view of the present condition Oh
the nominations. The President and the members OF
his Cabinet to-day decided that no business OF any
nature should be sent TO the Senate after O'CLOCK
tomorrow. The Cabinet meeting which takes place
Tomorrow will therefore decide upon all the remain
or not other business shall be presented for the &C
ton of the Senate OF course large number of ap-
pointments will BIO left to be filed during
the recess as il is not likely that the
Senate could clear its lists entirely, even
if il had desire to do So and it is not likely also
that the President and his Cabinet decide in the
brief time left upon all the changes to be made in
the various Offices at home and abroad 1t now
seems not improbable that some of the nominations
before the Foreign Relations Committee, will
be purposely delayed, in order that they
may fail, the Senators manifesting such
an emphatic opposition their confirmation that
it will not he considered iudicious to report
them. OF this class are the cases of Pile for
Brazil Garlic for Sweden and Jones for Belgium,
In view of the additional business to be brought be-
fore the Senate by the President, tomorrow, the
Seuate viii be doing well if adjournment takes place
before Wednesday or Thursday. The statement
published throughout the country that Garlic had
been under consideration in tho Senate and his
laid upon the table is erroneous. His has not
yet been reported by the Committee ShOuld his
case however come to vote, it probably will
not, there is little doubt of his rejection.
The list of nominations, to-day, consisted prnci-
paly of officers of Internal Revenue and Postmastors
The name of Mr. Shellabarger is added to the already
large number Of ex-CongTessmen who have been ap
pointed 10 ONCE. Tie harvey Us
TO Portugal Mr.. Shellabarger, however unlike most
OF his class who have received oaice, has not been
lobbying around Washington for the Office to which
he is appointed. Mr. Geo. W. Lppet, nominated
Secretary Of Legation at Vienna formerly held the
same position under Mr.. Motley, when that gentle
man was our representive at the Austrian Court
When Mr.. Motley was so grossly nsulted, after the
McCracken scandal, Mr.. Lippet resigned and cast
his future with his superior officer. The Fitty-frst
anniversary Of she Sabbath-school of the Presby-
terrain Church, on New Yorkave was held last eve
ming An interesting report read, and addresses
made by Senator Scott of Pennsylvania. Gov. Buck
ingham of Connecticut and John Hill of New-Jersey
There a good attendance and the report showed
that a good work had been accomplished by the
school during the past year.
The Foreign Relations Committee Of the Senate
to-day had again under consideration the foreign
diplomatic appointments. Numerous protests have
been received by the Committee from various parts
of the country against Sanford for the Spanish mis-
sion but Mr. Sumner was finally authorized to report
his name to the Senate without recommendation
H. view of the probability Of the Senate not acting
on the cases of Sanford Jones' Garlic and Pile their
friends have endeavored to induce the President to
Indicate to Senators his desire for their confirmation
Tins however he refuses to do, saying that nc has
appointed Them that the Senate is in possession OF
all the facts, and that Senators should take the
responsibility Of deciding upon their confirmation
without advice from him. long list OF Consular,
Treasury. and Post-Ofice nominations were con-
frmed to-day. Two reflections were made-the
nomination Of postmaster in Virginia and Edward
L. Stephens, son of Mrs. Ann S. Stephens for Consul
at Leeds No division was demanded in either case,
the large majority rendering it unnecessary.
There is great complaint made by many Of the
army officers against the order promulgated several
weeks ago consolidating the infantry regiments In
the service Ii will be remembered that this cons0l-
datiOn was the exclusive work of Gen. Sherman, but
the grievances of those who think themselves i'll
treated are lodged with the Secretary of War. and
they look TO him for relief Gen. Rawlns has
been making himself personally acquainted with the
whole matter and promises that he will do his ut
most to have assigned 70 duty all those mertorous
officers of long and faithful service, who by the
orders above mentioned were deprived of their COM
mands.
The various Committees of the House, authorized
to take testimony during the recess to-day drew
