XLVIIth CONGRESS.
Senate-Executive Session.

WASHINGTON, May 4.
The Vice President laid before the Senate
the resolution for the election of Senate officers
Mr.. Dawes took the floor and requested the
Clerk to read the pending resolution. This
having been done, MIR. Dawes proceeded to
give brief history of the action of both sides
of the Senate upon the resolution. He had Of
fered it TO the Senate on the 23d of March; on
the 24th it had come up under the rules for
consideration. Up to that time it had been
supposed every Senator in this body who de-
sired to invoke the voice of the Senate had Sc
cured to him the right under the rules not
only to invoke that voice, but to obtain it.
Under that impression he Dawes) had intro
duced this resolution. He had not asked any
Senator to support it to whose judgment it did
not commend itself. He had merely asked the
Senators to consider it, and pass upon it, 1t
had encountered opposition, and that opposi-
ton had held the Senate here for more than
six weeks. The opposition had not been di-
rected to the merits of the resolution, butt had
been distinctly stated by Senators that the
Senate should never pass upon it. He had but
to state what had been the opposition that the
Senate had encountered under its rules to state
in words question of graver import and i'm
portance and scope and consequence to the in
situations of the country than any other which
had come up for consideration in this hail. 1t
matters very little what shall be the fate Of
this resolution. If it should be extinguished
in a half hour, provided it we're extinguished
by the modes pointed out by the constitution
which sustained the whole fabric of this Gov
eminent, not ripple would be discovered and
the Government would move on as if the reso-
luton had never had any existence. Mr.. Dawes
continued at some length, substantially reiter-
ating the Republican position on the question
of organization, and finally moving an exc
cutive session, which was agreed to-yeas So,
nays none.
When the doors were reOpened, at 420,
the Senate adjourned until tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-The Presidents at
tention having been called to the above letter
to-day, stated that there was not line in the
letter that he would have the slightest objec
tion to giving to the public; that the Star

from his ample means in aid of his party in
the life and death struggle then going on in
his own State.

Contradictory Stories as to the Attitude
of the Democrats
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Mr. Conkling's
friends think that it will now be his policy to
hasten the confirmation of uucontested nom
nations. AS TO the confirmation of Judge
Robertson they claim II to 10 Democratic
votes against his confirmation. A Democrat
who has taken pains to inform himself regard
ing the views of the Democratic Senators on
that question: said that he does not believe
that more than six or seven Democrats would
vote against Judge Robertson. He named
Senators Mcpherson, Groome, Cockrell, Gar
land, Farley and Slater as those who would
probably do SO. He said, however, that he con-
sidered Senators Hill of Georgia, Jones OF
Florida, Harris, Pendleton, Voorhees,, Maxey,
Walker and Fair doubtful. Another Demo
GRAFT who is usually well informed regarding the
feeling among Democratic Senators said that
they are ready to vote almost solidly for mo-
ton to discharge the committee on commerce
from the consideration of the Robertson C .sa,
should that committee evince disposition
unduly to delay vote upon it.

tion-Railroad Yards Abandoned.
ST. LOUIS, May 5.-The situation at East St..
Louis from the flood is more critical. Fami-
lies and merchants are removing. Several
railroads have taken movable stock and prop
erty from their yards on the island and some
decline to receive any more freight for ship
ment at present. In fact the yards on the is
land are in such danger of inundation that
they will have to be abandoned. The Cairo
and st. Louis Narrow Gauge road is sub
merged in many places and has suspended op-
erations. The trestle of the Cairo Shore line
leading to the island south of the bridge is
abandoned and the road has to reach its freight
yards by another track.
A later dispatch says the situation is becom-
ing more and more critical. A break is al
ready reported. The Ohio and Mississippi
Pacific railroad embankment, about mile
north of Relay depot, and the Vandalia track
is flooded for some distance. Many people
have already left East st. Louis and others
have moved themselves and their household
