 WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Many of the Sena- tors are greatly disappointed if not dissatis- fled because the President has delayed ad- journment so long. Some of them are dis posed to find farlt with the President for not promptly coming to some conclusion as to what he wants in the way of Cabinet In executive session to-day motion to adjourn sine die was offered, but the mover was in- duced to withdraw it. The motion provoked some talk in which Senators expressed im- patience at the delay. Several Senators who had been greatly inconvenienced thereby called on the President to learn when he thought they could adjourn. He is said to have answered that it might be possible for them to adjourn tomorrow, certainly by Fri day. This of course as far as he was concerned. There will probably be no delay in combinations except possibly in the case of Paymaster Watt mough nominated for Paymaster General. Paymaster Stevenson, one of his rivals. promises to make strong fight against him. This may possibly lead to the postponement of the case, particularly since the Secretary of the Navy has to day appointed a new board to examine Stevenson for promotion to the rank of Pay Inspector. The other nomina- tions are sure to go through rapidly. From the tone of the Presidents remarks the Sen ate expect Cabinet nominations tomorrow. The President says Mir. Morgan's declination was due to the imperative advice of his phy- sicians, who thought it unwise for him to as- sume such duties. Judge Folger's name will be sent in to the Senate. He is understood to have accepted conditionally. The condi- tion is said to have been that he would be transferred to the Supreme bench at the next vacancy and thus be repaid for surrendering his life position. Such vacancy is not likely to occur until Judge Hunts retirement in 1882. The President expects to hear from ex-Senator Howe tomorrow morning. On the nature of his communication will depend any proceedings in regard to the Attorney Generalship. It is understood that Howe can have it if he wants it, but it is sent in now, as MacVeagh as a personal accommodation may hang on un- til the Star route prosecution progresses little. It is stated to-day that not only have Messrs. James, Lincoln and Kirkwood been told that they will be renominated, but that Hunt too, is to be allowed to remain so that the replacement of Blaine by Frehnghuysen will be the only change in December. The double representation of New York would only be until the transfer of Folger to the Supreme bench. The above, however, is not official
 In the Christiancy divorce case here to-day Steven Christiancy, of Elizabeth, N. J., who was with Christiancy in Peru, testified in contradiction of Haight, of Hartford, Conn, whose testimony was taken secretly, but who is known to have alleged Christiancy's mal treatment in Lima. Haight is also said to have testified that he never had criminal in- tercourse with Mrs. Christiancy, and Chris tiancy was asked today whether Haight had not made a contrary statement to him. Christiancy is considering whether this ques- tion shall be answered.
 Hon. Marshall Jewell, of Connecticut, ar- rived here to-day from Charleston, s. O., in advance of Governor Bigelow of Connecticut and staff, who with the members of the First Connecticut regiment are on their way back via Danville The regiment will make parade to morrow.
 Representative Hillmay, of Indiana, was to night on the Speakership question and stated that the Indiana delega- ton would stand by Congressman Orth, who was the candidate of their State should there appear any chance of his election. MT. Hill man thought Hiscock would receive double the number of votes on the first ballot of any other candidate. Hillman did not think Kasson had a chance for the reason that he had been out of Congress so long, and he re- garded Keller much stronger candidate than Kasson. MT. Frye, he said in conclu- sion, would have made an excellent Speaker and could have secured the position had he been in the House, and I know for a fact that he would sooner be Speaker than Senator.
 The only nominations of importance sent to the Senate to-day were those of Colonel Seaton, chief clerk of the census bureau, to succeed General Walker as Superintendent of the Census, and MT. Wattmough as Pay master General Both appointments were of I,Y-r1- flaa fhn1o JnnIvN Nn4 show disposition on the part of the Presi- dent to adopt policy favorable to the reten- ton and promot ion of capable officers. NIr Tyner ResIgns-A Talk With the Re-
 tired Official.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Fo1lowing is the correspondence which was followed to-day by Assistant Postmaster General Tyner's resignation:
 WASHINGTON, Oct 26. Hon. Thomas Il. James, Postmaster General Wash
 Sir~I enclose herewith in response to your letter 14th inst, my resignation of the office of First President condition that the request it not based upon charges against my official honor in route frauds either by direct act neglect of duty such charges have been made or implied it is prop have an opportunity to reply to thesn I believe he and you will prove the suggestion.
 
 J. N. FINER.
 The Postmaster General replied as fol- lows:
 sir-I have ths honor to acknowledge the receipt P strnsster General which have just handed t the President. In reply to your inquiry have to say the request for your resignation not based upon any reflection upon your personal or ofciaI in tegrity. Very respectfully, ~
 The J. N Tyner.
 Mir. Tyner says he has not recently tried to hold the office for the sake of -the place, but only to protect his reputation. He feared that his retirement pending the Star route in- vestigation would expose him to misrepre- and scandal just as it has done. The desire of MT. James to have him go out was in consequence of the existence of ill feeling between them. Tyner thinks it origintaed with meddlesome persons, and as the Post master General states that the request for his was not based upon any reaec- tions upon his personal or official integrity, it is evident that the honor of neither is in- volved. He says the sixteen months of his term in that office was freer from unnecessary than any similar period of late years. The most important expenditures were ordered by Postmaster General Jewell I and the orders signed by him. Monthly re- suited about every charge of consequence and approved it. Similar reports were made 1 to Tyner when he became Postmaster Gen. | eral, but one for February, the last month of his term, was not prepared before he went put. It was submitted to Judge Key. With | in that period several costly changes | were made without his knowledge and he < heard of them after he had gone out and be- | fore he returned as first assistant he directed | the new Postmaster Generals attention to | them at once and suggested that they should | be examined. Regarding the report on the l Star service that he made to Key after his re- l turn from the Pacific coast in 1879, he says l he made the investigation upon Key written l order, submitted the report to him and called | his attention to what he believed to be an | service and to remedies which | he proposed for the evils of the Star | route system. He is willing to stake | his reputation on this report and adds that | the insinuation that this report was sup l pressed and afterward captured by James is | unworthy of anybody engaged in the Star | route investigation. The Postmaster Gener- | al did not know of it's existence. It was the | subject of conversation with President Gar | field before Mir. James heard of it. and it was <I<-l4 4--Ll 1-kl k1-- Af-
