WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s.-Thcre is a good deal OF
discussion here with reference TO the bearing OF the
well-observed theory of the "courtoses Of tho Sen
ate" on the Presidential candidature. Through the
influence of Mr.. Cameron, William III. kcmbe of
Philadelphia was induced to recede, in the meeting
of the National Committee, from his preference for
Philadelphia as the place in which TO hold the Re
publican Convention, and Cincinnati was chosen
merely because Mr.. Cameron as he himself declared,
did not want oantag Jnize Norton" Senator Pat
terson of Pennsylvania, and also n member OF
the Committee, was also induced To change
his preference for Philadelphia in order not

Senators took similar action for similar
question now discussed here IL, whether the per-
sOna relations Of Senators 10 certain candidates for
the Presidency will influence the action of other
Senators. A novel objection urged against the
nomination of either Mr.. Washburne or Mr.. Blaine
by certain politicians, is the personal hostility Of
Mr.. COnklin to both of them Imprudcnt friends of
the NewYork Senator at first threw out the idea
that he would refuse TO support either Mr.. Wash
burne OF Mr. Blaine if nominated, and that this
NOulu ncctbsd1lIy lose SldIC Oh NcW-Iolh ~
Republicans More judicious friends Of Mr.. Conk-
ling now busy contradicting these stories,
and warmly disclaimng any desire on the part
of their chief to obtrude personal gricfs or
grievances on great national campaign. If
the Republican party had stopped at any time
within the past ten years to guide its policy by Mr..
Conklings personal dslikes and quaIres, the diff
cultics would have been quite appalling, for the
number Of prominent Republicans with which Mr..
Conkling has quarreled is quite large. The late
Senator Grimes of Iowa, as is well known here, was,
while in office, in bad Odor with the New-York Sena-
tor, who refused to speak TO him. Mr.. Conkling
also quarreled bitterly with Mr.. Fessenden, and at
terward with Mr. Sumner, and at later period with
Mr.. Schun. Last Spring he was 30 unreasonable as
TO quarrel with Mr. Chandler. 1t is safe to say that
1t would be putting heavy load on the Republican
party to have it his personal troubles in its
national conventions.

given IN payment for the furniture came back pro-
tested but Mr.. Shepherd kindly took the furniture
off the Senator's hands, and gave his note III eT-
change for the notes outstanding. Thus Mr.. Shep-

that he now appears Gs one Of Dorsey's creditors,
proves nothing improper but il is, to say The least,
