secret session of the Senate held the
afternoon of the 10Th, and while its
proceedings have boon observed with
unusual secrecy by Senators, it has
yet leaked out that Conkling is af-
ter the Administration again, on the
New York appointments. At the
beginning Of this session COnkling's
Commerce Committee sent S request
to the Administration for the reasons
on which Arthur and Cornell were
removed. Instead of sending the
reply 10 the committee. the Presi-
dent sent it addressed TO the Senate.
This angered Conkling, and he was

the Administration desired certain
reforms, in the New York Custom
house, and believed that the old Of
ficers, while not bad men, would not
bring about the desired reforms.
Conkling got off great effort, aud
the debate was, at times, highly per-
sonal and bitter, and st times there
vas great excitement 10 the Senate.
1t is owing to the personal character
of the debate, principally. that Sens

feet was that Sherman (Uho has the

The Nashville Banner notes that Mr..
Bryan has introduced a bill in the House
Of Representatives making it unlawful
for insolvent debtors to give preference
to any creditor, and providing that all
creditors shall share ratably and alike
in the assets of the debtor. The ncccs-
sity of such law has become very APP
parent since the repeal Of the bankrupt
Jaw, as there is too great an opportunity
for fraud by the insolYent debtor, who
may under the present law assign and
give all he has to any of his creditors to
the exclusion of the others.
