THB LETT IMMOVABLE.
A despatch from Versailles says the presldeatt of
the various groups of the Left have urgod the Preel
dents ol the Senato and Chamber of Depntles to en
deavor to induce President MaoMabon to hasten the so
lution of the crisis in accordance with the view* of the
majority. The deputies of the Left have resolved not
to vote the budget until a republican cabinet Is lormod.

A later Paris despatch says that the Left, who bars
ividently been driven further than they Intended
tave entered upon a purely revolutionary path. They
bare nominated delegates who nro Instructed to refnso
by anticipation the support ol the majority to any
cabinet which is not in completo conformity with the
settled programme of tho Loft. The Left also insist
upon selecting tho Ministers of War, Interior and Jus
tice.
MACMAHOX FIRM.
In this connection it is noticeable that President
MaeMahon at Saturday's Cabinot oouuell said:?"I
will never consent to part with tho War Minister. I
w.llnot give up tho army and its organization, which
arc the very security of tho eountry, to the hazards of
politics, which might at any moment ovorturu what

covery forever."

The plan for rcorgantxiog the Ministry by admitting
M. Simon broke down because he delarcd himself un.
able to command tho majority In tho Chamber unless
the portfolios of War ana Justice also passed to freah
hands. This would havo obliged M. Dulaure to retire
and leave tbe Presidency of the Cabinet to M. Simon
wbich was moro than President MaeMahon wished.'
Thereupon M. Dulaure wrote a letter deflnatlvely de
cbning to lorm a Cabinet. In view of tho dead
lock and menacing attitude of tho Lolt it Is possible
that tho Presldentw.il take a cabinet of so-cnllea
social defence, which would engage m s conflict
with tho Chamber of Deputies, relying oo the
majority in the Sonate. In tho Chambor yestordny
evening M. Bourdon charged the Left with striving to
overturn MaeMahon and tbe Senate.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION?A BETTED FEELING
MANIFESTED ON BOTH BIDES?MKETINO OF
THE JOINT DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS COMMITTEE?
CONSERVATIVE POSITION CP THE SOUTHERN
ERS?PRESIDENT grant's EXPRESSION NOT
APPROVED DT REPUBLICANS.
Thero Is a belter spirit in both parties to-day. The
republicans who spoke iu the Sennlo hold a more con
ciliatory tone; the democratic Sen.itors wero mainly
silent. In the House the call of the Stales went on and
thero was an early adjournment, whereupon the dem
ocrats went into caucus and there was more or
less wild talk by a tow excitod members, but with no
results, except au evidently increasing opinion that it
is now wise and necessary lo await tbo return ol tho
committees scut to the disputed States and to abide
by their reports. The Importance ol theso committees,
as likely bv their reports to settle all dis
putes, ii more and moro felt by both sides. This
evening the Joint caucnB committee of democratic
Sonntors and Representatives met to consider the
policy of the party in the two bouses. Thero was full
and treo discussion, but the spirit wh'ch prevailed was
conservaivo and sound. Thero la good reason for aay.
ing that tbo wisest and best mon on tho democratic
side have the control of their party here In their bands,
and that tho advlco likely to prevail Is to
demand Justice, to expose all attompta at injusttco,
if such shall be made, bat to trown down all wild
plane, II any such snould arise, and all tendenoy toward
lawless and Irregular proceedings.
Thero Is not tho least doubt that overy republican
motion, looking toward an honest and fair settlement
of the matter In dispute, will be promptly mot by the
democratic side. The Southern members anil Senators
are usiug all their lnfluonco with their party to iusure
patient waiting for the return of the Southern com
mit tecs and to prevent violent or Irregular proceed
ings undor any circumstances. They do not want war
under any circumstances, and declare oponly to ex-'
citable Northern men that In any appeal to arms tboy
must be "countod out."
'?What would bo the result?" asked one to-day.
?'Yon might very easily get up a fight, but who is
going to fight? Not the respcetablo people, and what
would bo ibo inovltablo result ol a civil warexcopta
Dictator? You cannot better even tho worst that tho
republicans could now do by fighting, but only make
It worse, infinitely worse."
It must be added that if the President's with was to
increase the evil passions of the day ho certainly suc
ceeded by tho partisan expressions In the Interview
which appears In this morning's papers. His frank
announcement that he "represents" the repnbltcnn
party cansed a feeling or disgust on tho republican
s do. There are men on that sldo who mean to nso
him, but even they do not liko him to speak out so
cynically.
SENATOR RANDOLPHS ACCOUNT OP HIS INTER
VIEW WITH THE PRESIDENT?WADE HAMP
TON'S IMPERTINENCE EXPLAINED?THE AU
THORITY OP THE SUPREME COURT OP SOUTH
Carolina disregarded.
Senator Randolph, ol New Jersey, In answer to some
questions about his Interview with the Prosldent sev
eral days ago, gives the following particulars. It will
be seen that the President, In his account of this Inter,
view in to-day's papers, omitted some dotails ol his
own conversation, which Mr. Randolph now supplies
He said
I bad said to General Hampton during my visit to
Columbia that If I could b? ot any service in bringing
about an understanding between the federal authorities
at Washington and the conservative branch ol the Leg.
Isiaturo that I would be glgd to do so. I sew from timo
to time, through the public press, bow matters were
progressing at Columbia, and on Wednesday last I un
derstood from Mr. Hewitt that a majority of the consti.
tutional ndmbcr 01 the South Carolina Legislature had
given their adherence to the conservative body. I tele
graphed General Hampton during Wednesday as to the
political situation. His reply camo to mo about six
o'clock P. M. and was In tbeao words:?
Hon. Tbkodork F. Randolph. Washington. D. C.
Everything Is going welL Wo a-k that the troops be
removed and the decision of the Supreme Court bo re.
spoclvd. This will bring peace nnd harmony. If our
Uouso Is recognized all trouble will he over.
WADE HAMPTON.
Earlier In the day I had received a despatch from
General Hampton acknowledging tho receipt of n letter
written to him on Monday, whorcin 1 had stated llmt
Mr. Hewitt's understanding with the President was
that no House would be recognized until sixty-three
members holding certificates of the Hoard ol Can
vassers had gathered In one body. General Hampton
dosed this despatch in tbeso words:?
Try to get recognition from nuiburtlos. All going
well.
With these two despatches In my hand, and wi;h my
an Icrstanding of tho President's Interview with Mr.
Hewitt on tinnday, I doomed It my duty to call upon
the President and make known General Hampton's re
quest In behalf of tho conservative Legislature. As
Mr. Hewitt bad given me the original information as
to Iho President's Interview, I requested hltn to go
with me, which ho did. benntor Conkling hap
pened to be in the dining room of the hotel
nt the time of mv receiving the despatch quoted fully
bolorc. I submitted It to him, and asked his opinion
as 10 submitting It to tho President. Ho quite agreed
with me that It was desirable so to ao, and suggested
mat I take with me the despatch received earlier in
the day, stdttng ibnt a majority of the constitutional
members had been convened In one House. It is due
to Mr. Conkling to say thai tbe whole conversation
with him occupied bat s minute or two.
Mr. Hcwliiand I reached the While House between
seven and eight o'clock and wore shown Into the Pres
ident's private parlor, whore tbe President nnd his
family and the Secretary of War wors nsscmblod. I
stated to Ibe President that wo called to give him
aome Information whicb I had recolved from Hoath
Carolina and to show him a despatch I
had received from General Hampton. Ilefore
I had read any portion of the despatches
be turned ,to Mr. Hewitt nnd complained
pretty warmly of tho misinterpretation of his, tho
President's, expression as given on Sunday. This con
versation lasted some minutes, nnd when I supposed
the President and Mr. Hewitt had come In an under
standing as to what each had said, I renewed the con
versation as to General Hampton's despatch. As soon
as I had read U to tbe President ho aaid with much
feeling:?" Governor Randolph, If I were to
characterize that despatch nt all I should say
thai <t was an Impertinence.'" To which I
replied:?"I do not see, Mr. President, how
you could imagmo a man of General Hampton's cnar
ncter seeking such methods ol offending you. His
whole course for mouths past has been one of pru
dence, temperance and patience, and It Is hardly to be
conceived that, at this Juncture of affairs, ha would
seek to offend tho Chief Magistrate." I also assured
the President that I was perfectly convinced that
U antral Hampton's puryasa was to ooavay to ma aa
dearly u po.-sibly within the brief Hmlla of
a telegraphic deeoatch Juat what the lunation waa and
how the public welfare might be promoted; that he
probably had no idea I would band the despatch orer,
and that I certainly bad no Idea, aa no one else bad
who bad seen the despatch, that It Intended to onnver
any covert meaning or anything tnore than the so
licitous expressions of an auxlous man, sincerely
desiring to promote the public welfare. I
also said to the Presided that If he
would bear in mind that tbo despatch was not to him,
but was one from ono friend to another, bo would
probably sco that bis interpretation or it* spirit was
not a fair one. lie replied that In this view of the
matter perhaps I was right. The conversation turned
upon what constituted a constitutional quorum of the
Legislature, Mr. Hewitt and myself contending that
the Mackey llouae could not possibly be recognized.
Inasmuch ns it did not have a majority or mcmhera
holding certificates either Irom the State Board or the
Supreme Court.
The Socretary of War expressed the opinion that a
number less than one-half of a legislative body might,
under given circumstance!, constitute a legal quorum.
I made reference to the fact In talking to the Presi
dent that the conservative House In South Carolina
not only bad a majority of all tho members holding
the certificates of the State Board of Can
vassers, tho same board that gavo the Hayes electors
their certificates, but that, in addition, to
this seven or cignt members held credentials under
order of tbo Supremo Court of South Carolina. To
this remark tho l'restdont promptly repliod that he
did not think tho Supromo Court of South Carolina
had anything to do with tho mattor; that they had
overslcppod their lmictions, and that ho did not proposo
to recognize their authority in the matter. 1 expressed
some surprise, and said to him that If the decisions of
tho highest court of a State were not to be ac
cepted In matters pertaining alone to a state, 1 could
not understand where our anchorage wonld bo, and I
therefore bogged of him to reconsider this opinion as
4o the authority of the Supreme Court
Tho remainder of the conversation was as to the
general election, the loyalty ol the Hayes States and
disloyalty ot Tlldon's, and has been substantially
stated in previous publications The Prestdout did not
seem to have any doubt as to tbe validity of the doc
toral votes of Florida and South Carolina. He was not
so decided in his expressions as to Louisiana, bat
thought the report of tho republican committee sent
by hun to that State would carry great waignt with tho
peoplo ol tbe country.

A caucus ot democratic members of tbo llouso of
Representatives was In session this afternoon
lor nearly two hours. Tho proceeding, were
of an exciting character. Prominent among
those who spoke upon tho ,Hua"ou
wor, Messrs. Randall, Wood, Cnultleld
and Hunton. The attitude of the administration was
the first matter taken Into consideration, and the
President's maniiesto was characterized as a partisan
utterance, unworthy the dignllled office which he
holds. It was declared evident from the late utter
ances or the President upon the political situation that
the administration Is determined to adopt and carry
out any scheme which will secure the counting In of
the republican candidates for President and \ ice 1 rest
dent and tbal tho Chief Executive of Ihe nntlon Is
not only willing but aoxioos to back up that deter
mination at tho point ol tho hayonot.
11 was resolved to await the return of the House
committees sent to the Southern States, end If their
report shall show Indisputably that Tildon and Hen
dricks were entitled to tho electoral vote of Florida
and Louisiana tho democrats members ol the present
Congress will sot the facts forth In an address to the
people of the United States, together with all the lawa
and precedents which have h.therto guided the two
houses in determining doubtful questions In regard to
tho Presidential count, and upon which they rely, at
Uaretolore, tor determining the present complication.
It was also resolved that, In the events above named,
the democrats will m.ist upon the inauguration of
Tildcn and Hendricks, and they rely on tho great mass
ol tho America, people, who are in favor ot law and
order and free government, to snstnin ?hem.
Several membora expressed belief that the pro
gramme of President Grant would be carrlod ont, and
"l?o their fear that a people would look tamely
on and witness the unconstitutional acta ot
the President In South Carolina and the various act.
of usurpation that nave characterised the conduct of
the administration In the Southern Stales before and
since the eleotion, would submit to anr further law
lessness and violence, unless aroused at once to the
danger that, under auch a state of things, menaces our
free government. The caucus expressed a determina
tion to contest all attempts of the administration to In
nugurste Hares and Wheeler, unless those
candidate. shall bo fonud to bo legally
elected, and to exhaust all legal mean, in tho contest
and to rely on tho pooplo to take tho matter up and
assert the right of tho majority to rule.
On motion of Mr. Hunton a resolution was adopted
to refer tho existing complications lo tho Judiciary
Committee of the House, through a resolution lo bo
urosenicd In the House, with instructions to dcteriniuo
what Is the legal course for the House to pursue in

verity. The alleged highly partisan character <.r

THE HAPPY COOKS.
ONE HUNDRED BOTL'ND AMD ROSY CHET8
Eating tbeib own dinner.
"You ice," said Chef Scholcher, of the Grand Union
of Saratoga, wnoaa English t* not as perfect as bia
boned turkey, "we bafe a socioty ilko xe French
cooks, and we make ze same dishes; but (wink*
log) there ccs a leelol rivalry. Zat Is
why we geef zee ball and make sees
pieces ol good worn." Tbe venerable Alsacienne chief
cook bad discorded cap and apron, and In full dross
salt stood admiringly before an alarmingly largo pilo
of boned capon guarded above and below and on either
?ide with little mutton tallow angels blowing elongated
dinner horns. They seemed Ilko miulaturu Gabriels
sounding the judgment nolo ol the dinner wtiicn tbo
Society ol Geroiau Cooks, No. 1, ol Now York, had
spent weeks in preparing lor tlio curious eyes and
eager stomachs ol their friends.
THK lilt AND KXTKKK
One hundred and three cook", fro.li from the savory
?team o! tho aristocratic kitchens ol tlio metropolis,
escorted i(Ki ladies about tho tables. In ail Itic throng
ol wbulemiinc looking gentlemen in while kids, with
waxad mustaches, white ilea and nil tho coneoraltaiiis
ot hall room costume, there was uot nno
that eould not at a minute's nolfco have
engulfed himself In pots and pain and
produced any dish Irom the Uowery ireo lunch to the
prettiest pitcede rtiutance that ever tempted uulorlu
uate epicures to risk the purgator al pangs ol indiges
tion. Thero wen Che I l.ouis A rn hot or, ol the Grand
Union, ol New York; Choi Fischer,ol the sit. Nicholas;
Chef Klein, ol tlio Coleman; Cliel Williams, of the
Filth Avenue; Chef Huh, of tlio Atlntitio Garden;
Chct l'nteuko, of the St. Cloud; Choi' Wetchel, 01 the
Grsmercy Park; Chef Stangcr, of East Ttlird street;
Chef Ituliz. president both of iho society and of Hie
Winchester Hotel kitchen?all practical men. practi
cal enough, as Chef Stunger Mid, 'do cook the while
whale irom the Aquarium, If tho Commissioners ul
Charities and Correction would purchase it, lor tho
destitute ol New York."
PATH IIKFORK PARTV.
In un interval between two dan jes a little gathering
was held in too privato su; per room. A gentleman
interested in tbe Washington Market meat trailic
hazarded the assertion, "11 Tildon ain't elected there's
going to bo a war." Politics had no followers. Chef
Ituitz sipped his wine und pointed to an exquisitely
delicate cut irom a marveloasly mottled pale, as ho
remarked, mtn cool indltroreuce, "This is true
art; tho giblct is precisely in iho centre,
you seo." Chef Stanger, with one kidded
hand nudcr his claw batntuer coat tail and the oilier
holding a glass ot chumpagnc, explalnod to a rostau
rant waiter, who possuuv never dined ou anything
better than heel stew and beer, that "as u bright and
sparkling wine he preferred Heluslck to Rocderer."
"Chablls is tasty; it (ins a snap In it." Iiazardeit a littlo
chap, who, Ilkciy enough, drew his kuowledgo Irom
the novel of the period,
"Yes," admitted Ckrf Stiingcr, "Chablls Is not a
bad wine, but I prefer Heidsick."
"Ho drinks bock beer tlio rest of tho yenr," said a
man across tho table softs voce.
An impertinent reporter suggested that it was a
good ttnng to see cooks oating dishes ot their ow n
preparation, and related Dickens' story of tlio pieman
who challenged Ills rival to eat ouo ol his ow n pies,
but the story and its moral let I flat. The cooks w ould
uot "bllo"?that is, not on a stale picceof surn pastry.
The orchestra played a German waltz and iho roiuud
vhrfs dauced. They fumed and spluttered and putt'ed
as ihoy twirled about on tlio waxed lloor, and a medi
tative onlooker cou.d scarcely help thinking ol well
busied joiuix turning ou spits belorc glowing 11 res, as
they did in tlio olden tune.
IIHili AitT AMI PRACTICAL.
Said an old gentloman, a gastronome of tho substan
tial type, as lie looko I at the ornamental piles oil tho
dining tables, "This surpasses sculpture. Sculpture
is tosiboLicul, but you can't eat it. i'lns is lestiieticnl
and vou can eat it. l'owers was grand?Ulot is
grander."
One ol the plecos attracted attention. It was a
representation ol a horse race. CKrf Schelcher, of
Saratoga. made it Twenty stearins iiorsos were rid
den by twenty stearino riders. The view was perfect?
so perfect ilint one of tlio horses having tumbled to
pieces in taking a stone fence and dllclt, tho rhler was
squatted astride ol a dish of lobster salad ten Inches
away.
Teutonla Hall, tbo scono of tbo ball, never held a
happier or better sutisllod throng. As iho evening
woro on inlo eight, nnd the people began to think
about suppor, the veteran cook marshalled the waiters
nnd looked lovingly at "loo tasteful dishes soon to be
demolished. One old chef, lorgctlul ol his white kids,
kindly laid his hand upon a great game pn us a lamer
would caress a sou.
When supper was announced tho gontlemen es
corted their ladies to tho tables, and'then the towering
supremacy of tbe cbiel cook was srou at lis best.
Pyramids went down, nngols fell, pale* went the way
of all llesh, and tbo clevonib annual ball of tbo Ger
man cooks ouded.
