Tho Tribune's Washington dispatch says
the case Of General Longstreet, nominated
rs surveyor Of the port Of New Orleans, was
under consideration to-day by the senate
commerce committee. II Is understood that
q majority Of the committee were opposed to
his confirmation, not especially because Gen
Longsireet was a leading rebel during the re-
bellion, but on the ground that there are an
abundance of men who were loyal TO the gov.
eminent from the breaking out Of the rebel
lion TO its close and who ought to be provided
for in preference TO that class 20 which Gen.
Longstreet belongs. The committee, howev-
or, have determined to report his name TO the
senate without recommendation and let them
take such action as they may think proper.

If man in the presidents Office was not to
