Washington, March 2X Täa closa mouthed and conscientious and fearfal Sen a ton haTe g".vn the tappy-o-lucky ones another "turning over" for giving out the secrets of executive sessions. aite a long and heated debate has just taken place in an executive session on the subject. Two cr three Senators accused by indirection and ionuendo some others of disregarding the oath taken to keep the executive proceedings inviolate, and tli9 accused Senators Hew into a passion and hurled bacx the insinuations with great heat. The debate, wnich occupied consider able lim, is sa'd to have baen very hot. There are a number of gDody goody Sena tors who look an arnicry at the newspaper man who ventures to use tbe expression "executive s?ssiou" in their presence, and desiring to show great virtue, insult mem bers of tbe press on every hand. They have threateneito luve every newspaper min ex cluded from tbe gallery who uses executive neue, and to ostracise "all who have the impudence to inquire about the executive proceedings." If this thin continue! to gather in vol ume thera will be a good sized fight in the Senate, and bad blocd will be engendered. Ai investigatson is going on quietly by tw i or three Senators, in tbe hope of spottin ; the Senators who talk about executive sei 8'ors. Ways of the Present Administration. Special to the Sentinel. Wahi:?gtox, JIafch. 20. Mach surprise has been expressed at the nominations that have been made so far by the President. This surprise is not considered as conveying en unfavorable opinion of the appointees nor reilecting upon Mr. Cleveland, but evinces a feeling that the ways of this ad ministration are not those entertained and practiced by predecessors in the White House. It is now considered a mis fortune by applicants for position to have their names mentioned in priot, since that class of men are invariably left out of the lists of nominations being made up. Generally it is thought that the President makes up his mind largely from the impres sions he gets of men who ask for places. The importunate ones he doesn't heed, bacause he Isars they will make him trouble If once they get in. Visitors to the White House Diminishing. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, March 20.

January 2$, 18S3. The Secr-itarv of the Treasury hai ap pointed staut Secretaries Fairchiid and Coon, aLi A&; slant Trea3urer Grave?, a ommisic;., wi Ji instructions to make an examination c' wie Treasury Department, with special reference to the simplification and improvement of the methods of daing buaimes, and to the redaction and rearranga ment of the cäcial and clerical force. The President his accepted the invitation of the veterans of the First and other corp3 to visit the battlaneld o! Gcttyaburg, when they make their hiRtoiical visit there oa the 1th and Oth of Mey, unless prevented by tcme ureent nece:sity of the public Eervice. TLe President is anxiens to be on ths fiald when the leading Generals of both armies are there to explain their movements. It is underjtood that at an informal con ference of Senators of both rarties todiy, it was p.gretd the Senate should adjoirnnjxt Mor day or Tuesday, unless the President shail signify his desire that ths session be pro'onged. A mhapt-rehf nsion appears to exisj in re gard to cilice of Chief of the Appointmant Division of the Treasury Department. Tee present ircumbeut of the oüicef Mr. Trevitt, te'.dercd his resignation about twj weeks ago. and it wos accepted by Secretary Marnisg, to take eflect April 1, anl Trevitt was granted leave cf absence till that date. In the meantime Eagene Uiggins, of Balti more, was given a position on the "fraud roll" cf the special agents division and a? signed to duty as Accicg Chief of the Ap p ointment Diviston, and was promised the cilice as soon as Trevitt's resignation shall have taken effect. A ques tion has arisen which may prevent Higcirs from receiving appointment to the oihoe for which he Lai been selected. If Higgins is permanently appointed withont examination, to the cilice for which he has been selected, it is claimed it will t9 in vio lation of the civil Eervice law, but yet in perfect accord with tin rules as published by the Civil Service Commission. It is understood the matter has been brought to tha attention cf President Cleve'and, and he expressed himself as desirous of carrying out to a letter the civil service act without regard to special rules. If this is done, Trevitt's place as Chief of the Appointment Divisioa can not be filled by arbitrary appointment. SENATE PROCEEDINGS. The Sonth American Commission Savagely Attacked by Mr. Van Wjck. Washington, March 20. The resolution for the appointment of an Alaskan Commit tee was laid before the Serate, and Mr. Man derson moved its reference to the Commute on Territories. A debate arose, during whic Mr. Van Wyck attacked the South Amer ican Commission in vigorous style. He saiJ the first thing they did was to go to San Fratcisco, then to New Mexico, then to se the New Orleans Exposition. Each member was provided with S7,"00 for his expenss; The commission consisted of two men and ; boy, fcr its Chairman remained in Albany The first thDg these two men and boy dk was taking a palace car at $33 a day, for which the total payment was ?1,417 bsforf they got to New Orleans. Then thy fur nished themselves with "supplier." The Utah Commlsjioners boldly charged for lager beer and wine. This" commission charged only for "supplies," which doabtless included liquids and solids. He would asi his friends oa the Republican tide of the chamber if it was time to stop. Tbis (tbe Senate) was all the party had left. The Democrats tad pesiesaion at the ether end of thd Capitcl and of the administration. About the 1st cf January the Commission get rtadv to slart from New Orleans. From the 1st of October to the 1st of January their expenses were r,009. Men who robbed fafes were camparatively honorable. This money was taken from tbe peckeis cf tax payers, who were hardly tble to pay 2 a nisni for ledgirg on Pnllman c:ts when they traveled. In addition to this expens they paid for their supplies and their cook, and wer allowed $7,000 a year each besides The Chairman of the Commission, who never left New York, resigned on ths 2öth of Jan uary, and drew out cf the Treasury $1 G7i It ccst the Government abont $100,0 for tbia Commission before the two mea and boy get ready to leave New Orleans. This reck- iesswafeieci money was a reai wrong upon the r.eople ho paid the taxes. Vfci.t mde itwersewas the outrageous bills of that Commission had been approved and paid He denounced this as worse than highwav rebbery. He said a man who enters a house at night and robs it is honorable ia compar ison with those who robbed the Treasury by such expenditures as he has described. It is worse, he said, than stealing the public lands, and here be referred to the Backbone patents as a robbery of 7,000,000 acres at oae lick. Mr. Manderson referred to the re3olution of Mr. Van W j ck providing far a commit tee to prepare a detailed statement of tbe expeLss and improvements of the Missis sippi River, under which, Mr. Manieraon eaid, his colleague might be able to make a junketing excursion from the heaiffaiers to the mouth of the river. Mr. Harrison charged Mr. Vau Wyck with having offered the resolution merely for the purpose of obtaining pay for h;s clerk dur ing the rece?8, and with the view of saving to the Government tbe $1,500 to f 1,00 sala ry cf the clerk, he offered a resolution that Mr. Van Wyck's resolution bs rescinded.aud asked that it be referred to tue Committee cn the Improvement of the Mississippi River. Laid over. Mr. Vest said that it was not his purpose to become a participant in the very interest ing domestic discussion cn the Republican side cf the Chamber. Mr. Van Wyck was like the bey who participated in the murdei of his own father. He Eaid the old man wasaUout tobe besten to death, and as he ouldnot he-p it, thousht he would give hira a lick to help him out of hi? misery. For twenty-five years he (Vest) had been an intimate per sonal friend of one of the members of the S-.U'h American Commission, and hi? record, public and private, wai as stainless and wittout reproach as that of any mm could possibly be. The m?.n who charged iu his ( Vest'1?) presence that Thomai C. Rsyno'.ds had ever by extravagance or otherwise wrongfully tasen one cent of the people's money, made a statement which he (Ve?t) contradicted absolutely and unquiUüedly. He W3 now ia Costa R cs and w3 per forming his fanction in a manner so satisfactory, that tbe new S.cretary cf State had said he regarded him as cue of the best officers in the servics of the Gov ernment. Two men and a boy, the Senator from Nebraska had sa'd the boy was nearly fifty years old and had been editor of one of the leading papers in Chicago, and had ren dered valuable political services. Governor Reynolds would bo compelled soon to re turn to this country by reason of ths iUne?s r,f a ne ar relative and he ( Vest) challenged the Senator from Nebraska to go into these questions after his return. Mr. Van Wyck disclaimed any psraoaal reflections. He had made hi3 remarks with respect to the Commission and not reiec icg it3 members. He interpreted Mr. Veu's challenge as a threat, ar.d said, subitantiai ly, he would be ready to repeat his state ments. Mr. Ilawley inquired whether the Sanator (Van Wyck) knew enough about thedelaili cf theee transactions to justify him ia at tscking the honor of a gentleman who had always stood as high as he (Van Wjck) could ever hope to stand. Mr. Van Wyck replied 07 reiterating some cf his prsrious statements. TLe Alaska resolution was referred to the Committoe on Territories. Mr. Gorman offered a resolution directing tbe Secretary of the Interior to furnish the Senate copies of the contract entered into between the Union Paciuc Railroad Com- E. snv and other railroad companies, effected y the act approved by th9 act of July 1, 1JC2, and the Western Union Telegraph Company, together with all statements now on file in the Interior Department touching tbe same. Adopted. Mr. fSmän offered the following: resolved, Taat so much of the evcral resolu tions cu-sed the liru day of Maren as provide Ior a clerk for any of the standing committees of the Senate daring the recess of Congress be rescinded. Laid over until to morrow. After an ex ecutive C2ii n the Senate adjourned. GENERAL HA EX. An Ahle .rguiuetit of Ail Cane by 111 Conusel. Washington, March JO. Judge Mackey to-day concluded a very able argument in behalf of General Hazen before the General Courtmartial. He Eaid the return by the Secretary o! War to General Hazen of the letter written by the latter was a most gra- cions act; an act that should have awakened only gratitude in the breast of the chief sig nal officer. It was so felt, but the sense of gratitude that was felt is marred by the knowledge cf the fact that a copy of the let ter appears to have been kept. The Secre tary in this kept his word of promise to ear lut broke it to hope. This was not the opea blow cf a b'axon, but the stiletto thrust of an Italian. Judge Mackey called attention to the fact that the accused is on trial before n court with unchallenged membership. Tbo accused, he said, is aware that while the court "was authorized by the President of tbe United States that the order detailing it was from the Sec retary of War. The accuser drew the charge, selected the oöicers to try it, and appointed the prosecuting officer. In closing, Jude Mackey said: "Th9 accused awaits your iudgment with confidence. He feels he is locked up ia armor of triple steel against this assault. He feels this Partbeniau shaft will be shattered on the bright shield of his soldierly record; but it your judgment be egaicst him, you irJiict a scar broader and deeper than those he now bears upon his body, to attest his honorable services in his country's wars." The Judge Advocate, in summing up, sim ply reviewed the charges and specifications. Enough evidence, he considered, had been addnced to sustain them, and at the conclu lion of his remarks the court went into se cret session to consider the case. Arrested for Embez.lement. St. Lons, March 20. 1Z G. Obear, one of the oldest real estate agents of the city, was arrested tbis afternoon on an indictment just .returned by the Grand Jury, charging him with embezzling 10 000 from John Kason, of Westheld, N.
