Tho Executive Session of the Senate.

| Tho executive session of tho Senate yester.
| day was mainly occupied with long and
| animated discussion over the two Missssipp
nominations, which were finally rejected by
| a strict party vote in each instance. John r.
| Lynch, the nominee for the supcrvisorshp OF
the Third district, is the wellknown co!Ored
man who preceded General Chalmers as tho
Representative in Congress from what is
called the Shoe-string district Of Mississippi
The case was reported adversely by the ma
| jOrity of the Census Committee, and it was
opposed in the Souate yesterday OH the alleged
ground that he Is II politician aud would be
likely to use his supcrvisOship to promote
his election to Congress-
John A. Barton, now II deputy collector OF
Internal revenue, was reported against on
similar grounds, ii being charged that he, too
is professional politician, aud that, as Il
friend of one Buchanan (whO was recently re.
jected for the Same position because of an
alleged intention to run for Congress), he
(BIrton) would also make use of his office for
Republican political purposes. These were
the views of Senators Lamar Ben Hill and
Harris.
A number of Senators who had served 10
tho House with Lynch eulogizcd his conduct
there aud denounced his proposed rejection AS
an act of indefcnsblo partisamship. Several
other Senators defended the character and as
serted the ability and general qualifications
of Lynch, but the Democratic Senators were
determined to put down every Republican
influence in the South, and without eXcep-
tion voted to reject the nominations,

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Ex-Senator Dorsey. On
behalf of the committee, tells me today that
the republicans have carried the legislature OF
every northern state, and says that be includes
Nevada In the list. because In the event Of che
election of Mr.. Fair in place of Sharon to the
Senate he will certainly vote with the republi-
cans. He claims the Senate as republican by
one majority and Arthur to hold the casting
vote.
In all the estimates here the House is emphat-
1cally republican. Gen. GARFIELD has surely 20
votes. Thus 1t Is conceded that the executive
and legislative branches Of the government
will lass completely into republican control
after the 4th OF March next 1t is considered
certain that Gen. Malone Of Va, will gen.
orally vote with the republicans, He will re-
fuse TO go into the caucus Of either party. His
campaign fund was raised among republicans
here ard In Philadelphia The latest advices
give Hancock the solid south and New jersey
and the three Pacific slope states-Nevada, Cal
ifornia and oregon.
Gen. Hancock has been so sadly overworked
during the canvass that his friends are ln some
habit, and has been so closely confined for
some time and so hard at work at his Office and
campaign duties, and taken so little recreation,
and been suffering so much from repeated colds
and chest and throat troubles, that he must rest
now for some time. His most intimate friends
at this but for the fact that it must soon be-
come known.

There is as much trepidati0n now among the
emplo! es at the Capitol as there was some
weeks prior to the election among the various
department employees. Every visitor to the
Capitol is eagerly pressed for news. and the
clerks there are all armed with sheets of paper
On which they are endeavoring to figure out a
sufficient democratic majority In Congress to
retain present officials and employees In their
places. 1t was reported at the Capitol this
morning upon the basis OF a dispatch from
Memphis. that the republicans had carried the
solid legislative delegation OF fifteen from
Shelby county, Tenn, which would give them
fine start towards a majority In the legisa-
tuFe. Another telegram from q friend OF Casey
Young stated that the majority for Young In
Hardeman county is large enough to overcome
and that he (Young) claimed his election.
