A special dispatch from Washington to the New Fork Times says: There is a rumor here that some of the Republican Senators have formed a sort of a combination to obtain complete, information concerning the removals and appointments which the President has made, with a view to intelligent action when the appointments come before the Senate for confirmation. As an instance of how this matter is being handled, it is reported that a discharged Treasury employe of some prominenoe has just returned from the West with the information that Senator Philetus Sawyer, of Wisconsin, is gathering the facts concerning the removal of Collector Jesse Spalding, and will take charge of the matter of the confirmation of Seeberger, Mr. Spalding’s successor, when it comes before tbe Senate. The employe in question is looked upon as an agent for the combination. Tlie Nebraska Republican State Convention met at Lincoln on the 14th inst. Amasa Cobb was renominated for the Supreme Bench.
