The Senate has been in executive session for the
, last two DAYS upon the nominations of Gems QUIT
? man. Pillow Gushing and Price. The Committee
on Military Affairs reported in favor OF the nomn
tons but objections made, and the debates
have been very exciting | notice statement IL
some New ork papers that the President has sen
II in the nomination of Gen. Pillow without INFORM
ing the Senate of the result OF the late investigation
: into the charges made against him by Gen. scott
5 | But this is mistake. The President has sent t.
+ the Senate the whole record i'll the case, and
u have little doubt that he has sent with it his de
g | cison in favor of Gen. Pillow. The charges, as
e have heretofore stated were not sustained, as tR
d record itself will show. But still there has been
e as Gen Pillow himself and his friends anticipated
= a very strong opposition to the continuation OF zen
e Pillows nomination, and on grounds growing on
of serious accusations made against INN by officer
P who were associated with him, and some OF whom
\ are now here. At the same time, have reason t
e believe that he has been warmly defended iron
a those charges.

$ laborious and excited secret session on tins case

little doubt that it will be settled Tomorrow Mon
