While all this was being senacted outside the exc.

ment the doors were closed the envelopes were
broken and the names read aloud to the Senators.
No opposition was exhibited. When the name of

desks and seats Of members, who were quickly made
each in turn the centre Of group, and the
one universal query flung In upon them from every

being that four-hfths Of the Senators expressed

down as querulous. Cameron found fault with
Stewart Howe with Borie, Drake with Creswell,
Howard with Cox, Sumner with Washburne Conk-

ment OF the Cabinet as whole. The Cabinet, and
nothing but the Cabinet, was discussed for an hour

An Irate Jerseyman.
radical citizen OF New Jersey made himself con-
spicuous near the entrance OF the Senate by his
wholesale denunciation Of the entire Cabinet. he
held forth in 30 loud and fluent strain TO gather
q considerable circle Of listeners around him, some
Of whom natly contradicted his assertions, which
only had the effect Of firing up his ardor, until he
supposed himself already in possession OF the noor
Of the Senate and making speech for the country.
After thoroughly ventating his views about Stewart
and the rest he proceeded another quarter OF the
chamber, and getting into Simon Camerons seat he
very soon managed TO draw an audience around him

Senator Pomeroy spoke highly OF Hoar, and recon-
mended him especially on the score OF his advanced
opinions on female suffrage. Senator Wilson was
also eulogstic Of the Massachusetts, appointee, and
