Gossip About tho New York Nomina'
tions and Conknng's Movements
WASHINGTON, May 49, = In the Senate
to-day, committee consisting OF Bayard
and Cameron, OF Pennsylvania, was
appointed to wait on the President to.
morrow, to inquire il he has any further
communications to make to that body.
The nrminations sent to the Senate to-
day were referred, and the Senate Xill
adjourn tomorrow. Bruce was con
firmei, on motion of Mr.. Lamar, unani-
mously. Mr.. Lamar informed Bruce,
when the latter's nomination reached
the Senate, that he was authorized to
state that every Democrat would vote
for his immediate confirmation.
The Senate Judiciary Committee have
not vet decided TO report Chandler, and
il is now understood that the nomina.
tion goes over. 1t is stated that the
President will not appoint Chandler al.
ter Congress adjourns as he is 70
distasteful to the Attorney General.
MacVeagh. The dispatch sent to State
Senator Strahan, OF New York, asking if
he would-accept the United States Mar
shaiship OF the Southern District, was
not answered until to-day, and that de.
layed sending in the nomination. Stra
han declined and Knox was named to
succeed PAYNE. II was determined last
night to nominate Bailey Tor Marshal Of
the Northern District, and the nomina-
tien was made out. McDougal, who
was among those lately Withdrawn,
reached here last evening and saw u Q
President this morning. He assured
the President of his cordial support OF
the administration and was renomina-
ted, and Bailey's name stricken from the
list. Gould, nominated for Collector
at the port of Buffalo, is another
former Conkling man who has given his
adherence to the administration. Nc
Dougal and Gould, in leaving ConSling,
take the position that the adninistra'
tign must be sustained in order to main
tam Republican ascendancy.
The President sent for Commissioner
LeDuc this morning to come to the
White House. He put in an appearance
and the President told him he must
have his resignation at once, and it was
written then and there.
The Pennsylvania nominations to-
day were divided between the Cameron
and anti. Cameron wings Of the Repub-
lican party, in accordance with the ad
illustrations policy OF recognizing all
the elements OF the party. Senator
Conkling has arranged to leave
here for New York City this evening.
For two days past he has talked very
little about his plans and purposes ex-
cept TO his most confidential friends.
His conversations Monday and Tues.
day with friends who called leaked out
and made him more guarded. He
says nothing about the criticism OF HIM
self by the press and does not seem to
notice it. Talking to-day to friend
who served wears with him
in the Senate, he said he did
not intend to turn his hand
over to obtain a reelection; that he had
submitted the issue to the Republican
party OF New York, aud would abide by
its judgment without any attempt to in
fluenceit

else for the Office which he now holds;
but Mr.. Garfield is President and is re-
sponsible for all the acts OF the admin
istration. Conkllng and Platt are the
chosen Senators from the great State OF
New York. and that, too, against all the
opposition OF the administration, crea'
ted by the same party that was
elected. This should give them
all the stronger claim to
be consult ID in nthe matter OF the ap-
pointments in their State. When 1T
comes to filing the1most influential Of
fee in the State without consulting
those Senators it is a great slight. When
the selections made are the mCst offen.
sive to be found it becomes an insult,
and ought to be resented TO the bitter
end. | sincerely hope the President
will see this and correct his mistake
himself and restore harmony to the par
ty. He owes this to himself and to those
without whose aid he could not ha' .
been elected. Nobody believes that he
could have carried the State OF New
York without the active support OF her
present Senators. Their passive support
would not have answered. without
New York Gen. Garfield would not
be President. His rewarling Robertson
is not only offensive to the New York
Senators but it is offensive to the New
York Republicans. The change OF
Badeau and Cramer, the two appoints
ments in which I felt strong personal
interest, was very distasteful to me.
The first because Of our personal rela.
tions and .ny wish that he should be
kept where his office would support him
until he finishes some work he is en-
gagged upon and which he could
do without interfering with his pub.
lie duties. The second because 1t
was at the expense of removing the
son OF my old Secretary OF State, who
probably never had his superior, GER
tsinly never for moral worth, in the De-
pa-tment.. 1t is true Mr.. Fish resigned,
but he did this from sense OF honor,
supposing it to be the duty OF the rep
resentatives abroad to give new ad-
ministration an opportunity oil saying
whether they were wanted or not.
Very truly yours,

SrAUNroS, May l9.-The General As
sembly Of the Southern Presbyterian
Church met here today. Rev. T. A.
Hoyt, d. d., OF Nashville, preached the
opening sermon. Among the topics to
be discussed will be those embraced un'
der the titles of "Retrenchment and Re-
form" aud Revised Directory OF Church
Worship" At the previous Assembly
a committee was appointed to consider
the latter topic. This committee will
report to the present Assembly and re-
commend as emiuently proper
that church services should embrsce
the r, citation OF the Lords prayer and
creed and the reading OF decalogues, a
form for burial. The marriage and bap-
tismal service will also be submitted.
Should the report be adopted il does not
carry with it absolute obligations TO its
forms. Ministers may use them or not
at their discretion. The discussion oil
these topics will doubtless be protracted
and animated.
