 IT is reported that ex-Senator Bruce o Mississippi will succeed First Assistant Posmaster- General Tyner, and that the lat ter will probably be provided with place abroad.
 PRESIDENT GARFIELD has taken firm stand i'll favor of executive sessions of tho Senate and the conhrmations' nomina. tions. He has recently sent for and spoken with eleven Republican senators urging all of them to relieve the administration, ol embarrassment by confirming nominations
 SECRETARY KIRRwooD has telegraphed J. Milton Turner, of St. Louis, president of the Freedmen's Oklahoma Association, that the question of the right of colored people to settle upon lands of Indian Territory would be submitted to the highest authority, and if Turner desires to be heard he should come to Washington at once. Meantime no attempt must be made to enter the Territory.
 SENATOR MILLER notified Dawes that unless the Republicans move for executive session he (Miller) will vote with the Democrats for one; that he feels bound to break the deadlock. Another question somewhat embarrassing is as to how Malone will feel called upoR to vote in executive session. If he votes with Conkling against Robertson, he will lose the friendship of the admins tration, and if he votes against Conkling the latter will be likely to antagonize nomi- nations made in behalf of Malone It is evident that Conkling is in earnest in in- tending to make the Robertson fight right away if executive sessions are held. A friend of the President advised him to with draw all nominations, and thus force the Senate to adjourn, after which the President could appoint whom he pleases, but the President is confident that majority of the Senate will vote to confirm Robertson.
 THE suddenly rendered resignation of Second Assistant Postmaster General Brady created great deal of talk and consider able sensation. Ever since Postmaster. General James entered upon the discharge of his duties the air has been thick with rumors, and it is thought developments in the near future will naturally lead up to other important changes in the personal ot the office of the second assistant postmaster general Such changes, it is understood become imperative, owing to the unfaith- fulness of present incumbents in the dis charge of their official trust. Gen. Brady is one of the chief owners of the National Republican here, which antagonizes the ad- ministration in the Robertson nomination. How his removal will effect the policy of the paper is not yet known. He had ex- pressed to friends an intention of resign ing before the end of the fiscal year, but his compulsory retirement took him entirely by surprise. He was yesterday peremp- torily requested to resign by the Postmaster General. Had any other course been open to the department Brady would not have been removed. The Senate deadlock pre- venting the immediate confirmation of his successor he was requested to resign in or der to relieve the department of his further services. It is reported upon good au- thority that the end of Mir. Brady's rope has not yet been reached and that the de- partment has information in it's possession which will justify it in bringing action against the late second assistant for the re- covery of money fraudulently misappro- priated.
