NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The Posps Wash-

day Senator voorhees, said that while
he was not at liberty to tell what took
place In executive session yesterday, he
had no objection to saying that he in
tends on general principles to sustain
the Presineurs right to make changes in
federal Cffices whenever tpe President
may deem proper, and to vote to confirm
all nominations made, unless 1t can be
shown that candidates are personally y

al, having originated in anger and fear
in anger at Andrew JOHNSON tor betray.
ing his party, and in fear OF conse.
quences of such betrayal. The respon-
sIbility Of making removals rests, he
thinks, with the President, and the Ten
ure Of Office Act ought not to be inter
posed TO prevent him from making
Changes at his pleasure.
| There are 10 differences between Mr.

question, and there is reason for believ
ing that the Democratic SIDE IF tht
Senate ia in entire accord with them
and that it will be found voting almos
