up in the presence Of lns brethren, md the
Bishop, with great Kindness, pointed out
the csil resulting from the habit. After
hearing him through, the accused, ba'hed
in tears, requested permission TO say few
words. lie commenced BY a candid ac-
Acknowledgement, Of his fault, and thanked the

Correspondence Of Philadelphia North American
WASHINGTON, April /, 1858.
The Senate in Executive session on Mr. Dix's
nomination lasted four hours, and was superbly
rich Senators Douglas, Soule, Weller, Chase
Seward, Houston, and Petit took ground for con-
frmation; and Rusk, Bright, Butler, and Mason
against it. Mr.. Brodhead argued in geniously a nd
feeEngly against the nominee, but voted for him.
One Democratic Senator expressed the hope tina t
if this distinguished Freesoiler should receive the
sanction OF the Senate men entertaining like SEN
tments, but who only aspfred to small post offices
and other humble positions, might not be cruelty
shot. Mr.. Bright spoke with great earnestness
MIR. Soule was artistic. Messrs. Rusk and Butler
were blunt and indignant. The whole scene was
spicy and alphabetically racy. Finally, the ayes
and noes were called, and Mr.. Dix was confirmed
by vote of twenty-eight to eight. 1t is contem-
plated to remove the injunction of secrecy.
The nays were Messrs. Bright, Atchison But
Ter, Evans, Rusk, Morton, Thompson of Kentucky
and Mason.
There were a number of other combinations
among them being Mr.. Fowler, for Postmaster at
New York; James II. Burch. bitterly anti Benton

There were many other combinations. The Sohs
