chamber il would not have produced greater
ensation than did the Presidents nomination Of
IT. Stanton 10 tho office of Secretary Of War,
ollowed by the nomination OF Simon Cameron
as Minister to Russia. 1t was felt to be the
solemn condemnation by the Administration
and the regular army, Of the policy OF cmanci-
patton and aiming the slaves of rebels, so
strongly recommended in the report Of the
Secretary Of War. Senators saw in it au open
ssue with the Anti.Slayery feeling Of tie North

wills so suddenly opened to The eyes Of men
llresdy weary with watching this war. No
vote was taken on these unexpected nomna-
lions, although Senator Sumner promptly moved

by the President as Minister To Russia,

scented on Saturday by the bankers. A general
opposition was expressed to it, On tie ground
that il would profit money-lendiug more than
