The Collector of New York has a large patronage and can wield immense political power, more tban any other Government officer, in toe State.

confirmation as it would endanger the j

As soon as the Henate met the resolution for officers came np, and, after Mr. Pendleton bad shrewdly appealed to Mr. Dawes not to press t lie resolution at ihi$ session, and been refused, Mr. Da via took the door, ?id, in a short spet?ch, attempted to justify m vole on the reorganization of tho committee.1', and Turn said lie was clearly ol opinion that, as a majority in the Senate had reorganized the committees, that they should also have the control of th Senate offices aad he would not interpose any vote against the speedy accompli hment of that reKtih. Tills speech created a profound sensation on the Democratic side, while the Bepublicans shewed unmistakable satisfaction. The Democrats then began filibustering, and oil!: red motion alter motion to adjourn or go into au Executive seseioc. There' was one majority against

all these motions, Midiono and Davis voting with the Republicans. The Democratic Senators, in caucus,

decided to resist, by all the purliamen- !

tary means in their power, the adoption of the pending resolution by which the Republicans seek to obtain the immediate control of the Senate offices. Mr. Dawes called up the resolution fou the ciu&tinu of nflicfira of the Sen ate. Mr. Davis, of Illinois, said: On a recent occasion I stated the reasons that determined my vote on the organization of the Henate, not expecting to satisfy thai class of politicians aeeustctocd to t arty discipline aud unable to appreciate free thought aud independent action. Fair criticism is aiwsys entitled to respect, and the public man who shrinks from it, even when harsh, doc-i not deserve forbearance. Au attempt has been made to have it appear that he Legislature which elected me to the Senate contained a Hepublican majority, and 'that the State of Illinois, on population, was also largely Republican, Both these assumptions are unfounded.

Washington, Match 23. In expectation of a show of strength between the Republicans and Demo-cn-ts over the proposed reorganisation of the officers of the Senate, a very large audience was attracted to the Senate Chamber to day. Mr, Voorhees again brought forward ids resolution condemning the course of the National Banks in reference to the recent Funding bill, and Mr. Morrill interposed a point of order. Mr. Vonrhees then took the floor and spoke at some length in regard to the right of the S nate to transact legislative business at, special sessions, citing many precedents in support of his claim. The debate over the point of order will probably continue most oi the day.

A joint resolution proposing au amendment to the Constitution to enfranchise women, and permit them to practice law, has been introduced in the Senate. Members of the House who were dissatisfied with the provision of the School bill that reduces the rate of interest on j-ehool funds to 0 per ecu?:., moved a reconsideration of the vote of the House passim? the bit., and tins stopped is progress until Tuesday

when a motion to Jay toe motion lu reconsider on the table prevailed, and the bill was sent to the Senate. The House, oa Tuesday, passed House bills to cut off the constructive mileage of Sheriffs, and to permit raiiroad companies to construct and operate telegraph lines for the transaction of a general puobe telegraph business. The House also c eared its calender of a number of local lulls, antl disposed of all the Senate amendments to the fax bill. There were a great m any of these

amendments, and much valuable time might have been spent upon them, but the House, with most ouu mepdable wisdom. concluded that time enough had been speut upon the bill, ami refused to open the doors for araendni ants. There were some Senate amendments to v-'hich tU Housa would not assent, and these were referred to a committee of a conference. This committee reached an agreement which the House concurred iu, au J it is believed that the Senate will follow the good example, so that it is probable that this most important bill will go to the Governor and become the law befoie the enu of this week. .Anion the changes made by the conference- committee was the 'restoration of the publication Of the delinquent list , stricken out by tho Senate, and the establishment of twenty cents per description as the price of such publication.

H: is thus seen that the Republicans aud the Democrats were almost equally divided and that a few Independents turned the scale. For President Hayes received 1270.232; Tilden. 258.801, ami Cooper, 17 233 votes. Hayes' etc ir majority was 2,oOS in a poll of over half a million. These figures prove how closely balanced the two parties ere in IS76 77.
