Not Confirmed.

We regret to say that the Senate, in execu-
tive session, yesterday, refused to'confrm the
nomination of James T. Sherman, ESQ. as one
of the lay-Judges of the Court of Errors
The vote was strictly a party vote-all the
Opposition voting to confirm, and all the tor
les and Democrats voting against his confirm
alton The only objection urged against Mr..
Sherman was, that, in the election of $50, be
was " too severe upon the Democratic party"
and now that they had an opportunity of re-
t~aliating upon him, they thought it " honora-
BILE" to do SO. Honorable God save the
mark, when such low, vindictiye, political
tricksters are called honorable or do anything
that anybody, but themselves, can call honora-
BILE Do they think, by rejecting Mr.. Sher-
man, that they can force the Governor to nom
mate a MAI as low and yindictive as them
selves? If SO, they have greatly mistaken
their man, for the Governor will do no such
thing. Or, if they think by rejecting Mr..
Sherman, because of his " severity while an ed
itor," that other editors will be less severe,
they have made a great mistake for we can
assure those gentlemen Senators, that by their
act they have increased ten-fold the severity
which ought to be, and which will be used for
their special benefit. -Gazete and Republican

Hon. Edwin Salter.

We have read with great pleasure and sat
~sfact:on the able and augnentative speech Of
the Hon. EDwlN SALTER-of when our sister
county Of Ocean should feel proad--as deliver
ed in the New Jersey Assembly. on Tuesday
evening of last week, on the motion to accept
the majority Report of the Committee, rela.
tive to the clause in the Governors Message
relative to Slavery.
The speech is too long for our columns, but
we shall endeayor, at some future time, to pre-
sent our readers with copious extracts from it.
The 9 State Gazette and Republican" in
publishing this admirable speech, bestows upon
it the following comments:
2 " In other columns we publish Hon. Edwin
Salter's excellent speech, to which we invite
the special attention Of our readers. Though
lengthy, it will well repay a perusal.
We also invite special attention to the fact
that while Messrs. Thornton, Holsman and
Voorhees, have their speeches (made on the
same occasion, published at the State expense,
Mr.. Salter, and his political friends, were I'M
willing that the State should be taxed with
the expense Of publishing his speech, and hence
he procured the publishing of it himself. TAX
ing this act as a fair criterion Of former ones
it need be no wonder that the Democratic par
ty that was, and the Tory party that is, have
already run the State nearly two hundred
thousand dollars in debt. Let the tax payers
of New Jersey make a long mark Of r~ecollec-
tion, for their last act of egotistieal w%astful-
ness.

To Correspondents.

We have received a well written and forci-
bic communication from q highly respectable
gentleman Of Ocean county, over the sigma
the signature of Fair Play" in which he
complains bitterly of certain editors for at
tempting to f~orestall public opinion iu reference
to our next candidate for Congress, from this
District. 0nr high appreciation of the. author
would induce us to publish his article, were it
not thst we have entirely abstained, thus far,
from agitating this question, and have no dis
position to enter into such a discussion at this
time. We entirely agree with him, however,
that the agitation of this question, by certain
editors is premature, and can result in no pos
sible good.
We hope that " Fair Play" will accept our
apology for not publishing his article. When
the proper time arrives. we assure him his
candidate shall be fairly dealt with by us; but
In all candor we must, also tell him, that we
have candidates in Monmouth, and that we.
think our claims to the nomination are, to say
the least of it. equal to those of Ocean.

The Americans of the South.

A Correspondent of the Commercial Adrer-
tiscr, in writing upon the vote taken upon Mr..
Harris appeal from Speaker Orr's decision,
The departure Of the Southern members Of
the American party from the ranks of the
Lecomptonites has produced q deep sensa-
ton. 1t was not unexpected. 1t has been
a subject of anxiety Tor some time with the
friends of the Administration. The six South
Americans who bolted yesterday on the ques-
ton made by Mr.. Harris of Illinois, against
the action of the majority of the Special Com
mittee on Kansas affairs, are as follows -
Messrs. Davis, Ricaud and Harris of Mary
land, III. Marshal and Underwood Of Ken
lucky, and Mr.. Gilmer of North Carolina.
The question is whether they will hold their
ground. They say they will; and moreover,
they say that if they can obtain a full %investi-
CATION aud exposure Of the frauds committed
in Kansas upon the rights Of the people, they
will bring over the whole American party of
the South in opposition to the Lecompton
Consultation. The Administration are there
fore in great trouble again. just at the mo-
ment when they were crying out land ahead'
they discry nothing but breakers.

SENATOR DouGLAs.--The rumor which has
been placed afoat that Senator Douglas would
resign his seat in Congress and go home to
stump bis State for reelection is emphatically
denied by him. He pronounces the reports
totally without foundation, and assures his
friends that he intends to fight the battle in
which he is now engaged to the end; that he
will not be driven from bis position by the
threats or frowns of power; nor moved from
the purposes to which his life has been devoted
by inducements profered from any quarter.
He says that with him it is a matter of prin-
ciple, which he will maintain at all hazards.

New Jersey State Lunatic ASYLUM

The Annual Report for 1857 of this insti-
tuition has been on our table for some DAYS.
but a press Of other duties has prevented us
from examining it heretofore. W. find the
report exceedingly satisfactory, and we think
it will be found equally so by every Jersey
man. All the officers of the institution. as
well as the managers, have performed their
trusts faithfully, and we can now safely boast
that the N. J. State Lunatic Asylum is equal,
if not superior to any institution of like kind
in the United States. The report shows the
whole number Of patients received and treated
during the year. to have been AGA greater
number than any preceding year. OF this
number 56 were discharged recovered, CT i'm
proved, 2 unimproyed, l escaped. and "a died
leaving 2T9 patients in the Asylum on the 3lst
day of December, 1915 more than at the
close Of the preceding year.
OF the whole number, 1919 were men and
230 women. OF the number remaining, AZ
are pauper patients, 1913 INDECENT, and 6S pri-
vate.
Since the opening Of the Asylum, on May
Is, lS48, to January l, 1858, the number O
cases received and treated is l, 230-588 mel
and GAP women. OF this number 467 were
discharged recovered, 283 improved, 33 unim
proved, 4 escaped, and 164 died
The ordinary expenses Of the institution fol
the last year we're $43.940 AZ, and the re
ceipts from various sources were nearly equa
to this amount.
