Especial to the SENTINEL

WASHINGTON, May 12.-In the Senate,
Kellogg called up his resolution asking the
heads Of executive departments for the
names of clerks and employees. Brown
moved to amend by asking also whether
they are white or colored. The resolution
was laid over. Also, McDill's resolution
that hereafter the official register Of the
United States shall state the Congressional
District from which each officer, clerk or
employe in the service of the United States
is appointed, and the date Of his appoint
ment. The Senate then went into execu-
tive session. The Senate Judiciary Com
mittee, after some talk, postponed the
nomination Of Chandler until tomorrow.
This action was to avoid further complica-
tions.
Views of a Democratic Senator.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Star this
evening publishes the following statement
OF the views of a Southwestern Democratic
Senator on the Garfield Conkling contro-
versy, which is Of value, as showing how a
considerable number Of Democratic men,
bers Of the Senate take issue with the ar
guments recently put forth by Voorhees, and
Bayard. He says: while l take very
little interest in the matter, other thar so
| far As it effects or can be used to help the
Democratic party. l am clearly of the opin-
ion that it is the duty of the Democratic
Senators TO sustain Conkling. There has

to encroach upon the rights of the legisla.
tive branch. 1t should be stopped; nc
President ever assumes a dictatorial course
towards the Legislative Department of ouI
Government, such as the present occupan,
Of the White House has; and shall he be
sustained. there is no telling where it will
stop. l think it is the policy of Democrats
to support Conkling in this fight, because /
think 1t will do much to disrupt the Re.
publican party. We cannot hope to drive
Conkling out of the party, no matter how
often we may crush him. We may, by
helping to defeat Robertson, cause such 8
split in the Republican party in New York
as will enable us to carry it with ease at ths
next election; but, as I said in the outset,
it is no funeral OF ours. We have no favort
to ask Of the Administration, and this CRY
by some that we must sustain the Presi
dent in order to get him to pursue . concil'
iatory course toward the South, is all bosh,

date send military into q single Southern
State, any more than he could into one Of
the New England States, and I am tired oi
this cowardly and ~sycophantic twaddlt
upon the part of some Of our Southern
Senators, who are stsrnally panderine t.

pursue a more manly and independent
course; ask no political favors Of the Ad.

The Prcsfdent's Mistake.
NEW Yonx. May 12.-HArpsr's Weekly Of
this week says the President has made q
great mistake in nominating certain per-
sons to be Attorneys and Marshals Of
New York. He declared that in his judg-
ment they were fitted for the posts for
which they were designated. He has with
drawn the nominations apparently, not be-
cause he has discovered that he was de.
ceived, but because he supposed that an
other nomination might be defeated. The
Presidential Office IL lowered when Its in
cumbent descends to take part ia such q
contest. The withdrawal Of these nomin-
ations throws doubt and suspicion on Ex-
ecutive action.
