From the time the message
reached the Senate till this late
hour Of the night there las been
bcdlam in the Republican ranks.
All sorts of rumors and gossip are
ailoat. Siftcd and reduced. the
substance OF the talk. specula-

The President is rightluliy rep
resented as thoroughly indignant
ut Che recent action of The Repub-
lean caucus in cOHsenting TO a
line Of procedure as TO executive
business which virtually post
poncd indefinitely the considera-
ton of Robcrlsou's nomination.
He looked upon such action as
an insult and indignity placed

the country that he. as the head
OF thc executive branches of the
Government, could not approve.

not been able to cipher it out closely,
but that Is my intention. ] base it on
the fact that the postal business is so
immensely increasing that with some

The British postal service would not
make any profit but FOR the city Of Lon

the deficit in The other parts. That Is
why have believed that to increase
the efficiency Of the p~ostofllcc in the
cities would be to absorb very much of
the business that row goes through
private messengers, telegraph aud 9th

Excepting Gen. Grant, Conk

no reason why he should desire
TO control all the appointments
IN New York State. There is a
large and respectable anti Conk

are worthy Of the Presidents

WASHINGTON, May The Prcsi-
dents attention having been called to
a letter published this morning, al
legged to have Leen written by him to
lion. j. Il. IIubbell from Mentor,
August 23rd, 1850, in which he says:
please say 10 Brady that | hope be
will give us all the assistance posi-
blc," stated that there vas not q line
in the letter that he would have the
slightest objection to gjyeto the pub
llc. That the star route contractors
were neither mentioned nor thought
of. That it was simply tho express
sion of u hope that Brady, a citizen
Of Indiana, who was rcputcd to have
made an immense fortune in the Bel
telephone stock, would respond from
his ample means in the aid Of his
party in the life and death struggle
then going on in his own State.
The Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Enquirer thus
adverts to a Democratic pcrplcX-
ity: "The Democrats are exceed
ingly anxious to have Bill Chan
der rejected. Ifthcy can get aid
from the Republican side, they
can defeat him. II so happens
that the very men who are Rob
ertson's friends are the Senators
whom The Democrats look to for
heln to defeat Chandler. If, then,
the Democrats turn and confirm
Robertson, the Republicans may,
in a spirit OF rcvenge, put Chan
der through. 1t will thus be seen
HAT on every side there are is
sues which defect from the mere.
question whether or not Robert
son should be confirmed or rejec-
ted"
