before the committee ana argued at length against
the Justice ana right Of medding any further with
Georgia He declared that Governor Bullock In adj
wishing smother course was guilty OF violation OF
his oath TO support the constitution Of Georgia
That he tBull0ck) was In conscience bound
TO protect the interests Of the people OF
that State. But said SIR. Tiff, there are good rea-
sons for Governor Bullock's conduct in seeking to
have the Georgia Legislature upset. 1t was well
known that charges against his character and Of
fetal conduct were before the Legislature Of that
State and Bullock had reason to fear that he would
be punished II Bullock had his deserts, said Tilt,
he would be impeached by the Georgia Legislature,
and II his case 10 ever passed upon by an impartial
judiciary he lBullock would be transferred from the
gubernationa chair to the Penitentiary OF Georgia.
Governor Bullock was present while TIT thus as
sailed his character and was, OF course, excited.
He jumped from hts seat fercey and exclaimed he
could not Sit still while his character was thus
abused He had no objection to the severest critic
ism Of hls oflcia career but his private character
must n0G ne thus assailed in his presence Mr. TIT
replied 70 this interruption promptly, and Bullock
took his SCAT quietly. 1t was feared that personal
collision would grow out Of the affair, but up to the
present time nothing OF the kind has occurred.
Hoar IN Chancery.
Last spring. when the administration was engaged
In turning ont the friends OF Andrew Johnson to
make way for those who had helped 1t into power,
the present Attorney General succeeded in making
himself generally obnoxious to all the Senators and
members who came In contact with him. They had
been accustomed to the polished -poiteness Of Mr..
william NJ. Evarts and the dignIhed but cour-
teous bearing Of Mr.. Stanbery. When Mr..
Hoar undertook to "put on airs'' and
treat his superiors with supercious con-
tempt there was general protest entered. but
1t did no good. Members said, 1--WE win walt and
when we get chance we will pay this man back
with INTEREST," The chance has come. and II the
members OF the Senate Judiciary Committee were to
adopt the advice profusely rendered them Mr.. Hoar
would wait long time before he finds himself in
the vacant seat OF the late Associate Justice Wayne
II be were out Of the Attorney Generals Office and
another man confirmed In his place the chances are
he would be summary rejected by the Senate.
But Hoar, aware Of his unpopularity, has taken
the precauti0n not to resign until he shall
have been confirmed for the position OF
Associate Justice. Had he been as decent In his
manners as some other members OF the Cabinet the
reference Of his nomination would have been merely
formal, and he would have been confirmed without
delay. 1t is not usual for committee to hold the
nomination Of person occupying Cabinet position
as long us they would that Of q comparatively un-
known outsider. LAKE, Senator's nomination 1t Is
generally confirmed at once. But the memory OF
H0ars rudeness last spring revived with the trans
mission Of his name to the Senate as Associate JUS
tice ana there Ia very general disposition to hold
HIM in chancery, just TO show him sample OF his
own conduct. His nomination Will not be acted
upon now until after the holidays
