THE REJECTION or TIE KOMINA-
TON OF JUDGE HOAR.

The Senate, few days since, called
up the report of the committee adverse
to the nomination of Judge Hosr IS As
sociste Justice of the Supreme Court,
and took definite action on it. The re-
port foreshadowed the probable action of
the Senate, and was fully discussed at the
time, which was some months pre-
vious to this. The nomination was
laid on the table by minority Of
the Republican Senators, as was ex.
pected. The Attorney General has
grown quite unpopular with his
own partisAns, since coming to Washing.
ton. on account of his unfortunate ILL.,
temper and bad manners toward bis visi-
tors. The political sentiments of the
gentleman were such as Sumner or any
other Radical would prefer, but be was
not withsl polite enough to the honorable
members of the Ramp who chance to
have business with the Office he then
filed.
The position of Senator, it should be
remembered, has of late become very
autocratic, and sristocrstic, too, since
the election of Rsvels, the negro, from
Mississippi.
1t is stated that Grant has made per-
sonal affair of the matter, asd will show
no fAvors to those who voted against the
nomination. What pity the President
cannot impress others beside himself
with the greatness of Hosr, who was
never heard of until scratched up by his
kind bsnefactor from the ashes very
lately.
The Senate has so long been in the
habit of bullying everybody, that it will
be hard for Grant to make anything opt
of an open disruption. He had better
do as Andy was compelled to curl up
and be quiet.

observation, since Thionville and Metz together
form base for operations on the Moselle line,
Metz being far the stronger, and still enjoying
easy communication with the East as well as
the South and West.
The Town Of Forbaoh,
near which the reported advance of the Prus-
slams has been made, and their defeat by the
French sustained, is the chief town of the aron-
dissement Of Sarreguemines, in the Department
OF Moselle. 1t is situated on the Nancy and
Mannheim Railroad, 43 miles northeast of Metz.
The population is probably not greater Ithan
5000. The situation is an admirable one, on
delightful plain at the foot of a mountain called
Schlossberg. 1t was formerly the chief town of
8 grand seigniory, and for its defense castle
was built upon the top of mountain. The
ruins are still visible there. In 171S the seig-
niory was erected into duehy. In 1859 Charles
V established his camp in this country when he
was preparing to lay siege to Metz. The town
of Forbach, composed of narrow and winding
streets, is surrounded by sandy mountains and
large forests. The roads from Sarreguemines
and Sarrelouis meet there, and make one of the
principal outlets of Germany. II is the extreme
railroad station on French soil.

There is a more settled feeling in financial
circles to- day, and all the markets show a firmer
tone, owing to the certainty of European war,
and the impression that its continuance will
enhance the market value of all classes of
American securities. There can be no doubt
also that the adjournment of Congress closes a
period of financial agitation which has been the
chief cause of the disturbance during the last
six months.
Loans are quite active this morning, and the
tone of lenders is evidently towards higher
range OF figures before many days are past To-
day 495 per cent is the range for demand loans
and 6Ca7 per cent for discounts of 80 to 60 days.
"a per cent, is readily obtained on all paper
beyond the latter term.
Gold is very active, the sales opening at 117sl
and advanced steadily up to 120 before noon.
Government bonds are weak, prices showing
q decline of about "a per cent.
The stock market was active and prices were
strong, but showed weakness at the close City
skies sold at 1919. Lehigh gold loan changed
hands at S914 for the 500s.
