The Republicans Resolve TO Confirm Only

TRENTON, Feb. 4.-The Republican Sena-
tors decided at caucus on Monday night to
confirm only the Republican nominees for lay
Judges. unless Gov. Mcclellan withdrew his
special message. which accompanied the nom-
nations, on the subject OF a non partisan judi
ciary. The Democratic Senators held caucus
this morning. but did not decide on course OF.
action. because several Republican Senators
are dissatisfied. and It was thought better to
wait and take advantage OF the dsairection.
The Republicans held another caucus this af-
ternoon. and decided to confirm at the execu-
tive session tomorrow all the Republican nom
lnutions. and reject all the Democratic ones.
The latter are the law Judges f'r the counties
Of Essex, Mercer. Monmouth. and MddlessN.
What action Will be taken 10y the Democrats is
not known. Certified copies of the indictments

A Council to Instaii the Pastor or the Puritan
Congregational Church.

The congregation Of the Puritan Congre-
Rationnl Church in Brooklyn Of which the Rev.
r. l.. Field has been acting as pastor for some
time. recently asked him to consent to be in
stalled as their permanent pastor. A council of
Congregational churches was necessary to pass
upon the call to Mr.. Field. and question arose
in the congregation ms to what churches should
bo invited to it. The pastor was member Of
the Manhattan Association. which is composed
OF preachers who do not approve Of the ways Of
Beecher and OF Plymouth Church and Mr.. Field
favored having only such churches represented
in that association. There were souo in the
church in favor Of inviting Plymouth Church.
and the question has agitated one or two meet
night. Of which Frank Wood was Moderator and
George y. shop clerk. tho pastor submitted a
letter. in which were these words:

INTESTIGA TING THE CIPHERs.
The Potter Committee TO BEGIN Work In the
Finh Avenne Hotel To-Day.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The Potter Com
mitiee were In secret session for over an hour
this morning. The principal subject discussed
was the constitution OF tho subcommittee ap-
pointed to take testimony in New York. Mr.
Mcmahon. who was selected as Chairman, and
Mr.. Cox having both pleaded that business on
gagements prevented their leaving Washing
ieeted to take Mr. McNtahons place and Mr..
Reed was appointed as a substitute for Mr.. Cox.
The question as TO when the sub-Committee
should begin their work was next discussed. 1t
was suggested that until they had the photo
autographed dispatches in hand there would be
difficulty in conducting the investigation, and
none OF these had been completed. This morn
ing the Autographed copies Of the Florida
dispatches were handed in. and Gen. Butler
suggested that the sun-Committee might begin
with these. Mr.. Potter thought they had better
wait until the whole were finished for the
reason that the same men We're mixed up in
more than one Of the divisions in which the
ciphers have been classed, and that 10 take the
dispatches piecemeal would necessitate the
call ing of these men 10 the stand perhaps half
a dozen times. II was intimated that bv this
evening the lithographing Of the South Caro-
lima dispatches would also be finished. and
upon learning this. the majority OF the Com
mittee were in favor Of adopting Gen. Buffers
