OXLY FOUR VOTES AGANBr-ioBEBXSOK's
CONFIRMATION.
The vote on the Robertson nom
ination was viva voce , and the nega
tive votes were scarcely audible.
Obseryant senators say they only
heard four nays during the votewhich
were by Senators Ingalls , Don Cameron -
eron , Jones , of * < Cyada , and Farley.
Senator Logan.'a voice was not heard.
THE , RESULT CONCEDED.
Conking nnd Plait's resignation as
considered in the light of Washing
ton.'a sensation , has fallen flat. "Not
eren the confirmation of Judge Rob
ertson has added fire to the * gossips.
That the result was conceded yester
day , and so generally that no ono ex
pected opposition in the senate and
the only surprise manifested is that no
vote was demanded or not even a viva
voce vote deemed necessary : "When ,
the confirmation was a fact , the whole
Conkliiig-Platt sensation seemed a
thing of the past.
The hotel corridors are all deserted
to-night mid no knots of politicians
are seen 'discussing the situation.
SMOOTHLY ACCOMPLISHED
The confirmation of Robertson
oy the senate yesterday was so
smoothly accomplished that it was al
most a matter of disappointment to
those-who expected an open fight in
the senate. Since the confirmation
lias been announced , senators arc not
ith to disclosq how it was , accom >
slied. H appears that there , was no
rote taken on the nomination at all ,
jut that it was confirmed-by common
consent. As soon as the doors of the
chamber were closed a * messenger ar
rived with a communication from the
president , in addition 16 several nom
inations. The communication con
tained the withdrawal of the nomina
tion of Gen. Badoau as charge , d'af

GEXEEAL COMMENTS.
Secretary Kirkwood says that if
Iowa senators had acted as the New
York senators have done , and for the
same reason , the whole "stato would
be now laughing at thorn.
J. B. Hawley , ox-assistant secretary
of the navy , said : "I don't think that
a single nomination _ ta sufficient rea
son for the senators' resignation. At
the same time I think the removal of
Merritt in the middle of his term ,
when there were no charges against
him , was an imprudent step on the
pjirt f.Uippresident. I know Mer-
ntt very well nridtam acquainted
with/the management of his office.
Ho has proved to be an efficient ser
vant I don't mean to criticise Conk
ling , as he ought to know the best
course for him to adopt among sena
tors at the capital : "

JUDGE ROBERTSON SERENADED.
Kational Associated Press.
ALBANY , NvY. Mayl9 1 a. . . . .
Judge Robertson was serenaded 'to
night , and responded injhe following
speech :
' FELLOW CITIZENS : You have come
here to congratulate me on my nomi-
natlon as collector of the port of New
York * Letlne'-congratulate you , or
lithir jie.coBntiy on the fact '
we have a president whose intelligence
firmness and patriotism will protect
the constitution from every ASaault ,
coming from whatevtf quarter it may.
I did not seek the office , nor did any
one eeekitforme. I visited neither
Washington nor Mentor. I had no
correspondence or communication ,
directly or indirectly , with "tho presi
dent in regard to it. The bestowal of
an office under Buch circumstances
wasTJxceodingly gratifying to irie dur
ing the pendency of a nomination in
the senate. Other events of a grat
ifying character occurred. i was
gratified with the early and judicial
advice of the chief magistrate of this
great state , in respect to the proper
disposition of that nomination : in
spired as that advice was by his high
sense of honor , sound judgment and
great practical sagacityadvke ,
which if taken in the spir
it , n which given , would have
strengthened , solidified and made the
republican party in this state invinci
ble. I was also gratified with the
unanimous tender of thanks to the
president for the nomination by my
associates in the legislature , and the
senate for its prompt confirmation. I
was gratified by the generous support
wliich the entire press of the country ,
with rare , exceptions , gave the presi
dent in the contest that resulted in
my confirmation. I Was gratified
with the almost universal expression
of republicans and democrats every
where throughout the length and
breadth of the land in commendation
of the president's course throughout

OBK. GRANT URGES ROBERTSON'S WITH
DRAWAL.
National Associated Press.
WASHINGTON , May 19 1 a. m.
It now transpires that a letter wriUen
by j ( Jon Grant , urging tho. with
drawal"of Hobertson's nomination ,
was delivered to the president by Sen
ator Jonea , of Nevada. It cannot be
ascertained what reply President Gar-
Scld made to Gen. Grant , beyond that
indicated in his neglcst to act upon
liis suggestion. Ono of the latest ru
mors is to the effect that a- job has
already been fixed that both Conkling
and Platt are to bo re-elected , but
Platt'will agree that Conkling shall
be elected for the long term , ho tak
ing the short 'term. If such an ar
rangement can be brought about it
will leave Conkling's term to 1887 ,
wlu ch will be two years beyond"
term of President Garfield , and leave
liim free to antagonize the president
without any _ worry of looking out for
my senatorial bacon in 1881.
Another rumor comes from Albany
that while the ftiitiConkling members
of the legislature'may ' not'be strong
enough" to prevent his re election ,
they can force an adjournment and
have the election put off until next
winter. „ " , ,
POSTMASTER , GENERAL * " JAMES * SPEAKS.
'Postmaster .General Jnmos claims
that he * , has boon misrepresented in i
Tuesday's interview with"mmuU _ the
matter of the Jauies-Arthur-Conkling-

the withdrawal of Robertson'sjijolni-
nation. He" was quoted as having in
timated that the president had 5n-
formed none of these gentlemen "that
Arty Change'was conteropfetBU in the
collectorshfp bl New York. "What
tHe postmaster general did say was
that he had had no conversation with
the president gnjhat subject until af = .
ter the nomination of Robertson. He
did not pretend to speak for others. -

Conkling still refuses to be inter
viewed. His rtrfadnt employment indicates -
dicates hei9 planning and executing
great schemes in New York pfcito , and
of course he docc not Care to have any
schrinoVhichho may contemplate an
ticipated in anyform through the een'
struction of any opinion or interview.
He is firm in this decision and treats
svll alike , while it-may not be definite
ly decided as to when the commissions
of Mr. Robertson and Gon. Mcrritt
will bo issued , it is generally Under
stood in administration circles that
the commissions will not be issued
till the "first of July. ' ' This arrange
ment will have a two-fold advantage.
Collector Merritt will thus have a
chance to finish up the fiscal year in
the Now York" " custom house , which
will of course allow him time to leave
it in excellent condition and to be
himself more fully prepared'for his
change of residence , and Judge Rob

"WASHINGTON. May 18. This morn
ing's confirmation of Robertson was
set down as one of the first actions in
to-dayV executive session.
The senatorial conversation turns
more generally towards the final adjournment -
journment .
A message of inquiry will doubtless
go to the president torday , pnd' the
final nominations are expected to-mor
row. Under objection they will go
over ono day , so the adjournment may
be delayed until Friday , and possibly
over Saturday , but with unanimous
consent there can be an immediate and
final adjournment possible to-moriow.
The galleries were crowded when
the senate was called to order. Yery
few republicans were in their seats un
til after the record had been read.
Senator Dawes offered a resolution
for the'payment of one month's extra"
pay to the employes of the secretaiy's
office , and the ofhcers of .the senate , in
view of the unexpected extra dutiw
that they had .been called u K > n to
perform.
At the suggestions of. Mr , Sherman
the resolution was referred to the com
mittee on contingent expenses.
Senator Burnside called up a reso
lution declaring it best for the inter
ests of the United States that the gov
ernment insist on having a voice irf
all plans for inter-oceanic ship canals
in America , and he asked immediate
action.
Senators Sherman , Ingalls , and
Jones , of Florida , opposed action on
it as inexpedient ; especially since it
was purely legislative business , and
needed also the co-operation of the
othei ; branch of congress.
Senator Sherman moved to postpone
the resolution until the first Monday
in Decembejr next , which , was carriel.
Senator Burnside alone voted "no. "

Railway Shops Bnrtted.
SAX F ANCICO , May 18. During
the trial of the Chinese notord at Yale ,
the railway company's machine and
blacksmith shops took fire and were
destroyed. It was supposed to bo the
execution of a threat made > by the
Chinese , but it is now believed to be
accidental , as no other demonstration
was made , though an immense crowd
of Chinese swarmed in the town.
Everything quiet there now.

One of our prominent citizens , who
ia passionately fond of a "quiet
smoke , " while on his way home the
other evening , and while stopping a
few moments to converse wjth a friend ,
uncautiously laid'down a package ,
which was known to several of his ac
quaintances , who were standing
near to * contain , ' among other arti
cles , a box of very fine cigars. To
undo the package , take therefrom the
cigars substitute an empty box , ant
retie it , was but the work of a mo
ment. The aforesaid P. C. proceeded
homeward , put on his slippers"anc
otherwise prepared himself for a com
fortable smoke. He opened his prize
; here comes a halt. It may be
well to say in conclusion thai
if there is any virtue in swearing am
imprecations , those young men have
not got a great while to live.

A Sensational Rumor.
NEW YORK , May 18 4 p. ni.
'ho Herald has a dispatch from Phi-
adelphia saying that the crisis which
as arisen in the Conkling and Blaine-
Jarfield complication , gives signi-
itance to information which has
cached this city from Washington
hrough most direct and trust-
orthy chrnnels on the positive
declaration of a gentleman of national
eputation , who stands so high no one
vho knows him by name , would doubt
lis word. It is asserted that , on
liursday evening iast , President Gar-
iold , during a conference at the
Vhlte House , said whilo. he ( Gar-
eld ) could not recede from
lis position as to Robert-
on , yet as soon as that
uestion was settled he certajnly
rould request the resignation of Sec-
etary Blaine , whom he holds respon-
ible for the unpleasant political situa-
ion. The president referred to the
ubject subsequently , it is alleged , by
aying that ho was tired of the wrong
ing , and dint lie was determined to
ut an end to it whenever it could be
one.
