Senate, five dissentient. An nt,cmpt 10 law il on
the table, filled I6 to 6. An amendment was ma de

~ The Legislature will probably adjourn on Sa-
turduy or Monday.
CT Let us enquire of Gen. Duff Green, if the
spasms ofterror he now endures arc for the Repub-
lie IN party, or his ainable self? Has he in good
earnest any idea that the Federal party as such or
IN any other shape. exists scparatelyl Docs he not
know, that when in 1916, by the policy of Mr Mon.
roc by tho successful close of the War and by the
utter desperation Of their cause, the Federal party
dissolved in It's own weakness that they indiarent!y
as inclination, accident ambition prompted, ranged
themselves in the new psries which after sprang
up, and that as many of them Crawfordites in
1894 and Jacksonites in 1873, the friends of Mr.
Adams IN either OF those contests? 1.-THE General is
acquainted with tho political history of the country

lshcd iii yesterdays Wing, of the confirmation by
The Senate, of several of the appointments made BY
the President, during the recess, it will strike Tho
reader that tho Secretary of Legation to Colombia
has been confirmed, while the Am5as sador himself
the ronownsd Mr. Moore--has not yet passed the or
deal of the Senate. This at least slows--terrninatc
how il may-that stand has been made in that BODY
in opposition to tho preposterous nomination of Mr.
Moore, and in unison with the offended sense of the
na;ion--outraged by an appointment, which makes
thc rst honors Of the country ridicuous when they
can he won and worn, by the vcriest dfab and scay
enger of party.
The Georgetown Gazette says:
"Wc understand, on good authority that the Sen
so Yesterday rejected tlIu nomination of Henry Lee
as Consul General to Alglcrs. We hope they viii
put their 0eto upon others equally obnoxious"
Whether this is true is questionable. How Tire
people Of the U. States would desire that appoint
mcnt 10 be treated is not to be doubted--but tho six
years tenure, makes the Senate efficiently irres
ponsib!c.
