WASHINGTON, May lo.-It is the rreva-
lent belief tonight that the Republican eau.
Gus will tomorrow decide that the Robert.
son case must he brought before tine Senate
Tor final action during the present session,
and in this expectation t.. political gossips
are again actively engaged in estimating
the strength Of the Opposing forces and
torccasting the probable issue OF the con-
tiict. The Democratic Senators, as well as
Republicans. arc united as to what course
they will pursue. Some Democrats say
they are ip doubt whether the Presidents
York nominations is to be accepted simply
as a person Il wariur. O, $ na.o ConklinE
or whether BY this act he has threate,tt
the Senate and arrogatcd to himself tht
-. :,,N,
use OF Federal patronage. Some Of thu
Senators aside from political affiliations
hold ttxt the u.stion At issue is M
whether the President or Conkling shal
triumph, but whether by the implied threa
the President has mad., h. is to assume tina
the Execlt!v. power i to do ui., ,tc anOthe
branch of the Government. The matte
hence is settling itself down to the question
Of the rights of Senate in contra-distinctio'
to the rights OF the President under tn
Constitution.
The Presidents friends say exulting!y
. "Gencral Garfield has made up his min
;. to be President" This is all right, III,
doubtcdlv say these Senators, b,,; in assert
:. ing such claim he must MT forget that tn
Senate has rights delegated to it by the Coz
stit,,ton. One of the rights is that CT COZ
:. sentiug to the Presidents appointment
that is ifit sees fit, and it clearly has I'll
right to refuse to consent, and tor the Pre-
i.,cnt to say "you must confirm this or tn;
man under penalty Of Executive di>plca
ID ure il you do not" is threat which
in yielded to will destroy the coo rs,ina
a branches OF the Government.
ID Several Democratic Senators express.
I'd themselves avcrsc to helping the Preside
re in his fight with Conh!ins unless they c'
MS b. satisfied that hc does nat in.cnd to tt
low up his victory by h"lpiag the Mahol
in movement against the Democratic party
u Virginia.
nd The view Of this subject, however, whi'
he appears to bc more generally taken
at Democratic Senators, and which will u
rs .lonbtcdly prevail in the Senate, is set for
re as follows bv Senator Voorhees, in an int.
it, view printed in this evenings Star: "T
