Senate.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-Mr. Voor-
hees again submitted the resolution he
offered Yesterday and subsequently
it, declaring that the hostile
attitude assumed by the National banks
to the reiundlng OF the National debt at
q lower rate OF interest and the recent
attempt to dictate legislation TO Con-
gress was contrary to the best interests
Of the people and calculated to excite
their alarm for the future.
Mr.. Morrill, raised the point OF order
that the resolution WAS not in order, in.
asmuCh as it was Legislative PROPOSE.
ton. Mr.. Sherman thought it would
be unjust TO the chair to require
him to decide the point till all the pre-.
cedents on the question have been
cited. His recollection was that propo.
stions like this had been debated in
the evening executive session, and he
hoped Mr.. Voorhees, would be permitted
TO speak to the point Of order.
Mr.. Voorhees, argued the proposition
was clearly in order, and cited from pre-
reients to show that at the special
executive session of the Senate any
business could be transacted which did
not need the co operation OF the House
Of Representatives lie quoted from
the opinion OF Chase, Seward, and
Douglass, to the effect that
The Senate in a special session
may do any act which it is competent
Tor it to do by itself without the coop
aration of the House, and it is said that
the theory was embodied by Seward in
4 resolution, and unanimously adopted.
The proposition submitted needed no
concurrence by the House. 1t was TO
give information about the great over
,hadowing question. 1t was to give the
debtors OF the Government the opinion
which the Senate entertained on a
great public matter, and il may be very
important to certain branches OF the
Government that this expression OF
opinion should be gwen.
Mr.. Morrill, withdrew his point OF or.
Ter against the resolution, which laid
over under the rules.
Mr.. Dawes offered resolution for the
election of the Senate officers, naming
he candidates selected by the Republi-
IAN caucus yesterday, which WAS laid
over, after the executive session, ad.
ourDcd.
The Nomination Of Robertson,
who led the fight against Grant and
Conkling in New York. last fail, for the
port of New York City, Gre
ites surprise and considerable comment.
rhe other nominations to-day, like
Chan llsr, Merritt and Phelps, had the
effect of removing the feeling among
some Republicans that the President
was
Yielding to the Stalwarts.
The Collector OF New York has an
args patronage and can WELD immense
political power, more than any other
officer in the State.
Conkling, 1t is said, greatly pre-
Ierred not TO have this
poyer in the hands OF a man who op.
posed him 80 strongly as Robertson, but
il is not believed that Conkling will OPP
pose his confirmation, as that would
pndanger the confirmation OF Conkling's
friends who have been nominated for
places in New York. The action Of the
President in dividing the patronage be.
tween both factions is regarded a. de.
sire TO harmonic the party in New
York. Merritt, present collector, whom
Conkling tonight so hard several years
ago, goes as Consul General to London.
Conkling's Wrath
Since the executive session OF the Sen.
ate adjourned this afternoon it is learned
positively that Conkling and his friends
are very indignant at the nomination OF
Robertson, and threaten to oppose his
Darkness Will Prevail.
Secretary Of Treasury Window issued
a circular to-day saying: Congress
having failed to sufficiently provide for
the requirements OF the public service

ment will have no means available for
the payment OF such services or sup
plies beyond the date above specified.
