WASHINGTON, April 2Seh.-There he's been
much talk and speculation st the Capitol to-
day concerning the scope and probable char
acter Of the Recommendations that are to be
made to the Republican caucus Iext week by
tae committee which is charged with the
duty OF 6evising some comprehensive ard ae-
cepta6le plan OF procedure il gard to the
proposed immediate transaction OF some por-
ton Of the executive business. 1t appears TO
be substantially agreed that the Chinese
treaties shall receive attention, and, il posi-
be. final action, at the first executive session.
The Uncontested nominations already on the
calender. and such as may be reported
back from committees at the hrst eX-
ecutiye session. will doubtless be confirmed
with great rapidly. the preference, of course,
being given TO cases OF actual vacancy IN
office. But il view of the desire to keep the
Republican column solid for 2 subsequent re-
newaI Of the present contest with the Demo
Gratis. the caucus committee VIII doubtless
omit from their programme any provision tor
| bringing up contested cases, and may be ex-
pected. ia fact, to labor 10 prevent at present
any such possibility. Judge Robertson's
nomination, for instance, II brought before
the Senate during the proposed temporary
hrealz Of the deadlock, would, it is appre-
! handad. create bad feeling and Gissensions
| That might divide the party on other questions
| throughout the remainder Of the session.
! Senator Malone it is said, has expressed
himself DESTROYS that this case may be held
i back at present, as he would not
care to be forced to vote either against
the Administration or agaias. ConkliDg. 1t
is reported. however,, that Conkling is not
disposed to pledge himself on this matter,
preferring to reserve the right to make the
fight whenever he thinks he can win 1t. This
is one of the difficulties that the caucus COM
mittee will have to deal with and endeavor
to adjust tremendously. Another problem
for them to report upon is the Stanley Mat.
thews case, and still another, the domination
of William E. Chandler. They will probab-
" advise that the former be acted upon at an
early dav, but Chambers nominations seems
likely to be laid over. 1t is generally be-
liegsd to-day that the caucus committee will
be able to perform lis work in time to report
to the caucus next Monday; but this is quite
doubtful. Well,informed persons win not
be surprised if the holding of the executive
session is deferred until the latter part of
next week.

session was refused-20 to q.
Butler read from The colloquy between
Burnside and himself on the 20th instant,
during which he had atated that if he did not
prove by irrefragab!e evidence that there had
been a bargain he would resign bis seat in the
Senate. With the intentions If individual Sen
ators he had nothing to DO Malone had said
truly that no one could search the human
heart. But men were held responsible fol
their acts TO society, and it was his duty, as g
Senator, to crit;cise legitimately the public
acts, votes and utterances Of all men who be
loneed TO the public. He had only the kind
est feelings for Malone. but when he and IN
friends arose and charged the Demoorats with
revolution and treason, il was his tButler's
duty to vindicate mis- course. The evidence:
