The secret session.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May l0.-The Senate
i'm secret session did not reach any conclu-
sion either upon the RIddleberger resolution
for open discussion OF the fisheries treaty or
the uoar resolution providing that the de-
bate be stcnographieally taken down for
future publication. The subject was dis
cussed some time, but went over until next
week, and the BODY went into executive
session without opening the doors. The
seal OF secrecy has been removed from the
combinations OF several hundred nOmina-
tons OF poStmasters, army aud civil officials
in the North and West. The only ones local
TO the South are those Of Harvey II. Koln,
collector Of customs at Vicksburg. Miss, and
