WASHINGTON, March %, 1873
Caldwell Advised by His Friends to Re-
sfgn-Another Kansas Contest Prob
able.
Caldwell OF Kansas, received some hard knocks
In the Senate this morning and his friends became
convinced that when vote on expulsion would be
reached he would stand but little chance for re-
tanning his seat. They accordingly hung out their
white nag and asked truce until Monday, promls-
ing that, as matters looked, they should advise
him to resign. This will be rather an ungorious
termination OF a two weeks debate, especially as
it will leave unsettled the great question whether
the Senate OF the United States has the consttu-
tional right TO review the action OF the Legislature
Of sovereign state. IT will also cut or by pro-
more absolute than the previous question, the
carefully prepared speeches Of Morton stevenson
and other Senators. But on the other hand,
If the debate goes on no one can tell
when it will stop, and the larger
number OF the Senators want to go away and spend
their extra back pay. Should Caldwell resign there
will be lively contest between him and Subsidy
Penn for the vacant Kansas Senatorial seat.
Each will! want to have his character indicated
by new election and each will be ready to pay
up handsomely, but in quiet Joe Bagstock, devil
ish sly way.
Collector Casey Confirmed by the senate.
III tne senate JO-udy, alteT Clc CIluWeu case ndu
been debated, and Senator Morton OF Indiana, say
ing he was not prepared to make his speech. the
case OF the confirmation OF Casey as Collector OF
New Orleans was taken up. Alter two hours
debate and a feeble opposition by Senator
West, of Louisiana, Casey was confirmed by vote
of % to Is. 1t was remarkablethat many Senator's
claimed by friends OF the administration
were conveniently absent in the lunch room salts
flying hunger, If not thirst. After the result
these same Senators were emulous OF being the
first to inform the President of the confirmation Of
Casey. Executive sessions are properly conhden-
tal, but the administration Senator'S, who are
always stcklers for the rules of the Senate, were
the first to tell that Casey had been confirmed
Cold Comfort for Senators at the White
House.
Little Yankee boys are often troubled by an
imaginary complaint known as "the Sabbath day
Sickness" when they want to avoid attending
church. General Grant has of late had several at.
tacks of the Senatorial sickness, which forces him
to close his doors against the magnates OF the Up
per House who call on him with advice, or to ask
offices, or to request him to withdraw some ap.
pointment they don't like. They are cOurte0usly
informed that the President is indisposed, and
they leave the White House, as they did this morn
ing, in prOiane and unhappy state OF mind.
