KEL1oG 10 GO OVER TotANoruER SESSION
WARRINGTON, March Il ...senator Nor
ton will make an effort TO have the case
Of Kellogg, claiming a seat rs Senator
from Louisiana, acted on at this session
Of the Senate, and the impression pre-.
walls that favorable report on his case
will be made by majority Of the Com,
mlttee on Privileges and Elections on
Tuesday next. It's not certain, however
that the Senate will agree to act on the
case now, as number OF the Repub.
lican Senators prefer TO let the matter
rest ior the present, rather than take any
action upon the Louisiana question,
which might be embarrassing to the ad'
ministration, when by permitting the
Kellogg case to go over until the next
session 1t can be determined with much
less discussion than II an attempt were
made to do so now, and besides the matter
may be virtually settled by the Execu.
tive Department Of the Government be.
fore that time. II is said that the Dem.
ocrats will vote in favor OF postponing
the case Of Kellogg until next session, in
view Of all circumstances. II is believed
that kellogg's case will not be disposed
OF before next winter. The same may be
said Of ;he South Carolina contest. Should
these cases 60 over the special session Of
the Senate will probably close before the
end OF the present week, us the executive
business can be disposed Of in few days.
The President and Cabinet are in daily
receipt OF letters ard kilograms from
prominent persons Of both political par
ties in approval OF the National course

INTERVIEW WITH rnE PRESIDENT.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-This even
ing the President was visited by Senators
Gordon and Lamar and the Representa-
tives OF Louisiana. These gentlemen es-
pecially urged the withdrawal Of the
troops from the State House in New Or
leans and Columbia, and sought to know
the disposition of the President in that
matter. The interview was perfectly
free. The subject was dealt with on
both sides with entire candor as
to the length OF time that will
elapse before the final result is reached
in this matter. Senator Gordon, who had
a very cordial expression OF views from
the President, declines at present to ex-
press any opinion further than to say he
is satisfied no unnecessary delay will be
had and that not more than few weeks
will intervene before the solution will
appear.

My DEARS SIR-I have not the honor O
a personal acquaintance with you, bu
have learned 10 respect you from knowl-
edge OF your reputation. | take the
liberty Of addressing you now, with great
distrust Of the propriety Of doing 30, pre-
facing i by saying that | speak without
authority from any one, and represent
only my own views. The situation oI
public affairs in South Carolina is toe
complicated to be discussed at length In
this note, and yet II impresses me as one
that ought TO be changed by the policy oi
Republican statesmen in such way as
not only to remove all the controversies
that disturb, but remove all the embar.
rassments arising from Il 10 the party in
other parts Of the country.
at has occurred to me to suggest
whether by your own concurrence and
cooperation an accommodation could
not be arrived at which would obviate
the necessity for the use Of Federal arms
TO support either government, and leave
that to be the government which was best
able to stand OF itself. Such course
would relieve the Administration from
the necessity, so far as the executive nc.
tion is concerned, Of making any decision
between the conflicting governments, and
would place you in position Of making
the sacrifice Of what you deemed your
abstract rights for the sake OF the peace
OF the community, which would entitle
you to the gratitude, not only OF your
own party. but the respect and esteem Of
the entire country. I trust you will
pardon the liberty l have taken, as my
motive is to promote, not only the public,
but your own personal good.

Mr., Hayes First Reception.

WASHINGTON, March lO.-As soon al
the Senate went into executive session
to-day, tho various Cabinet nominations
were in turn reported back from the com.
mittees, accompanied in each case with a
unanimous recommendation for conlirma.
tion. A motion was then made to take
up the nomination Of David NJ. Key, as
Postmaster General, for immediate &C.
tion. A single objection would have pre.
vented action upon 1t to-day, but no oh.
lection was interposed, and the vote upon
the question Of confirming was taken BY
yeas and nays, and resulted, ayes 81, nays
2,-the negative votes being cast BY Dem.
ocrats. This vote seemed 10 be regarded
as test Of the strength Of the opposition
to the remaining nominations, and no
further opposition was made against any
Of them beyond demand for the roll
call in the cases Of Schurz and Evarts.
The vote on Schurz's nomination was Al
for confirmation and . against. The vote
on Evarts' nomination was about the
same. Quite number OF Senators on
both sides abstained from voting, and the
few negative votes in each instance were
cast by Democrats, Senator Cameron, OF
Pennsylvania, voted for Evarls, Schurz
and Key, remarking hisvote for Evarts
was under what he regarded as the in.
structions ofhis committee, the Foreign
Relations, which had instructed him 10
report favorably. Mr.. Conkling reirained
from voting on his nomination.
The nominations Of George W. Nc.
Crary to be Secretary Of War, Richard
W. Thompson to be Secretary OF the
Navy, and Charles Devens 10 be Attorney
General, were confirmed without roll.
call or even division.
The news Of the confirmation was re-
Ceived at the White House and at the
Executive Department as soon as the nc.
tion Of the Senate was taken, and elected
very satisfactory expressions. The Pres.
ident simply said he was very glad OF the
prompt action.
