WARRINGTON, February %. Yesterday
in the executive session Of the Senate, q
scene Of intense excitement occurred, il
which the actors were Senator's Burnside
and conkling. There has for some time
been bad blood between the two Senators.
At the beginning Of this session Of Con.
gress General Burnside, who had been a
member OF the Committee on Commerce,
was transferred TO another committee, be.
cause Mr. Conkling said otherwise he
would not only resign the craftsmanship
Of the committee, but would decline fur.
ther service on Il.
Yesterday the nomination Of Mr..
Stratton for steamboat inspector in one OF
the New York districts came up, when
Gen. Burnside objected to Its considera.
ton. Mr.. Conkling remarked that the
Senator from Rhode Island had already
objected several times TO the considera.
ton Of Mt. STATIONS case, which General
Burnside denied, Mr.. Conkling then rose
ia ono OF hisgrandly contemptuous moods.
He characterized the conduct Of General
