WASHINGTON INTELLIGENCE.
WASHINGTON, December 2

WASHINGTON, DecemOef I'd.
The Senate remained in Executive session
from 2 p. IN. till after Z in the evening
After confirming a number of nominal ions
comparatively. of an unimportant character
The nominations for Circuit Judges were
taken up and the following confirmed:
George F. Shepley, of Maine, for the Firs,
Circuit.
Lewis B. Woodruff, of New York, Second
Circuit.
William McKennan, of Pennsylvania,
Third Circuit.
William B. Woods, of Alabama, Fifth
Circuit
S. L. Whitney, of Michigan. Sixth Circuit
Thomas Drummond, of Illinois, Seventh
Circuit.
John F. Dillon, of Iowa y.
The nomination of George A. Pearce OF
MARYLAND. FIR the Fourth Circuit, is under
stood TO have met with something of un-
favorable nature, and was postponed, bat it
is still pending, together with that of Lo-
reazo Sawyer, for the Ninth Circuit. Before
the latter Nomination was reached for ac-
sion = motion prevailed to take up the u0rni-
nation of Hoar for Associate Justice of the
supreme Court A very long, and attimes.
stormy debate ensued as to the pr0priety
~ adrisabiitv of confirming it. Finally it
became apparent that the majority of Sena-
tors present were opposed to the conhrma-
ton, and HoaI's friends moved that the
further consideration Of the nomination be
postponed. This motion was negarived, as
was also the EeAt one, that the Senate ad
;nurn; and after that the first motion made
was tabled. At this point canvass of the
Senate showed there was a majority of
twelve in favor Of rejecting the nomina-
sion, and it was under stood that several of
the New England Senators thereupon
pledged themselves that If the majority
would allow the nomination to be simply
tabled, Hear should be Withdrawn. Upon
this understanding the nomination was ae-
cordingly tabled.
y A considerable number of nomination
we're not reached at all. and this failure of
the Senate TO confirm them cannot therefore
be considered significant of ,heiT Ultimate
fate.
Among the number were Sickles, as Min
lister to Spain, and various consular appoint
ments.
Among the nominations confirmed in the
early part Of the session was Warren Cawies.
Of Pennsylsania, as United States District
Attorney for Dakota, and J. W. Moore, Post
master al Salt Lake CITY.
BIeyet Lieutenant Colonel Walter Frank
lin has been detailed as Professor of Military
Science in the Wisconsin States University.
CHICAGO, December %.
A Tribune's Washington special saws the
debate in the Senate on the nomination of
Hoar was one of the most singular ever
heard, and at times bitter and personal.
Trumbull was the only member of the Ju-
dietary Committee Who spoke in favor Of
confirmation. IL is understood the nominal
ton will be Withdrawn, and an effort be
inside to induce the President 10 appoint e.
Southern miu.-SIc. Union kilograms.
Shepley's aOm uaIioa, fer the first
Circuit, is as good as can be desired.
4 is 4 shame that there should be any
5sas agrinst Sawyer. We cannot I'M
dersrani Why there is SO fierce an oppo
si,ioa to Hoar. He is certainly an able
man; and the West, with the President,
Vice President, Chief Justice and three
Associate Justices of the Supreme |
Court ogya: to be satisfied; and as to |
the South, if We were Grant we would |
see it Stamped before We would ap |

Cou-t is rot,ea enough now Let the
South be con.entei with a representa-
Lioa Ia Congress and what they can
steal from the public crib. We want
none of he. people to sit 10 judgment
