The tntimatons which gone ont that the President
was disinteresed in the result OF AttorneyGener
Hoars nomination TO the Supreme Court Judgeship and
that he was anxious to dsplace him from the Cabinet
have done great injustice 10 both the President ana
Judge Hoar The President much chagrined at the
action OF the Senate assured the friends OF Judge
Hoar that he enterans him the highest respect and
the warmes feelings Of friendship He also regards his
ability and his political position with the strongest conf
dence He appointed him because he thought
him tho best that could be Sc
lected and because no knew his opinions on import
ant questions which must soon arise would sustain the
ar action OF the Government When the Senate recon
veues the President will withdraw the name OF Judge
Hoar md he stated that he would not be SO dscour
teous TO him another man from the North Tor
Justice Waynes vacancy. Judge Hoar Will remain In
the cabinet The subject OF appointing Supreme Court

dcn IA much perplexed. His wish is TO appoint South
ern man. he cannot select satisfactory one IN con-
Alteration Of all the facts Several names have been
pressed upon him by Southern men ana Others pus he
has failed 10 find an unobecouable one. The proposition
ia made to change Southern Circuit somewhat so as
IN admit the State OF Arkansas, at present In
tho Circuit OF Justice Miller and appointing Judge Cad-
we'll Of the IT, g. District Court, aud the President IL Civ
ing this proposition earnest consideration For the va
cancy occasloned by the death OF Mr. Stanton, there
seems to be little doubt that Judge Strong OF fenhsyV"
MIA will be the nppontee Judge Brewster exAttorney
General Of Pennsylvania, to have been Attorney
General in place Of Hoar had the latter been confirmed
for the Supreme Court.
The Commissioner OF Internal Revenue the subject
having been considered by the Bureau for nearly Two
year has at last decided 10 accept OF two devices Tor
cancepe revenue stamps being unable to accord supe
rory 10 either Several hundred devices were offered
in accordance with advertisements by Commissioner ho
Tins and the ones accepted decided TO be the best
presented Tho instruments will go into use as soon rs
hsy can be manufactured in sufficient quantity one o'
the instruments s patented by VIM A. Wheeler OF New
York, and the other by James e. Thompson OF Bnnaio
