asIde. Senator Cameron, In executive aeH-
eton to-day, stated that ho had becn TO-
1uestod by macy Senators to postpouo tho
consideration Of Mr. Dana's cssc Until nert Mon
dav. This action is satisfactory to both thu
frienda and oppnnonts ot the nominee. Tho
former think that 10 will grow stronger every
day and tho deiky will givo than chance to set
every moans on foot to defeat Gen. Butler, whom
they think Ia opposed to Dana on personal and
malicious grounds. The oppouensa .ro conIl-
