kicking their heels aimlessly together for three
hours Mr.. Coudert was engaged TO deliver an
address at an Irish meeting in New-York tonight
and he began TO think that David b. Hill had got
up a foul conspiracy to make him break faith
with the Irishmen However, the committee
presently stopped caucussing, and came together
They stalked into the Senate Chamber, and MI
Roesch, having raped for order, solemnly an
nounced that the subject Of the procure
ment Of counsel engaging the atteh-
ton of the committee, and that IL
had unanimously agreed TO go into executive ses-
sion. Its public session was therefore ADJOURNED
until 3 O'Clock. These words were most impress
sively delivered, whereupon the committee arose
and stalked out with all the dignity demanded by
grave crisis.
THE COMMITTEE IN EXECUTIVE SESSION
In the executive session which followed, the
Republicans again endeavored to induce the other
but, failing, and neither side being ready TO sug
gest Names they separated, agreeing to meet again
ut / o'clock The Republicans adjourned to Cen
eral Husted's house, and there prepared llst OF
the names of counsel the selection Of any of whom
if counsel had TO be secured, would be satisfactory
to them. When the committee reaSsemDied, 1nDs

of ex-senator John j. LinsOn, Democrat, Out MI.
Cantor not to be outdone even IN klha Oh eO H1

DEMOCRATS FAIL TO KEEP THEIR WORD.
We'll, then" said General Hustled. where Is
your list?"
I'VE have no list" replied Cantor
why, surely, the understanding was that each
side was TO propose list"
"Oh, no; tho understanding merely was t1at we
were agreed that counsel was 10 be engaged
Certainly not" Hustled rcjoihcd: Inc Re-
pubIcans must be understood now and at all times
as absolutely opposed TO the plan or having cqu-

If YOU are bent on going into eXtravagant q
proceeding we desire that the man selected shall
be a fair. honest man, in whom both sides may
have full confidence. lie should be a man who
was wholly unconnected with the matters we are
10 investigate We have proposed hfteen such
men and none seems to suit you. Now, whom do
you propose "
But Cantor was reluctant to do any proposing at
all, and he had to be hard pressed before his
scheme could be got from him. Then il appeared
that he wanted Delos McCurdy and Hugh Reilly
McCurdy was Maynards associate throughout the
linz SHyli N lp V
borne: He was the man in whose once III IN
New-York City Judge Cullen's order Of Dc
cember 10 was found forty-eght hours
after it should have been filed in the County

himself would not have done had he been IN May,
nard's place, and the man who has been quoted
OF the Court of Appeals had recommended 10
Governor Flower that Maynard he appointed 10
the vacant place in that tribunal Ia WORD.
Cantor proposes that MAYNARD he tried by law,
who now approves of all Maynard is charged
with. Mr.. Reilly is. member of the Board OF
Claims He is an able lawyer, against whose pro-
fessionL character nothing is said. He has been
DistrictAttorney of Albany County, and was. erst-
while Herricl man. and stout opponent or
David B. Hill. But when Hills friend Muller
died, Hill offered Muller's seat the Board of
Claims to Reilly and il accepted. Since then;
Hill has taken Herrick's place as the apple OF
Reilly's eve. or course the Republicans pro,
tested against the engagement of these men, but
they protested vainly The committee resolved
90 adjourn until 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon
and meanwhile 70 ask the Legislatures permission
to employ counsel. the mcn TO lie chosen being
WcCurly who saws he is as bad as MAYNARD, and
Reilly. who loves Herrick not less. DIV lIIli ana
