The Star has the following regarding Ackerman
1t seems pretty certain that the Radical Repub
licans will make earnest effort to procure the with
drawa of Mr.. ACkermans nomination to the Attorney
Generalship, or, failing in that, to prevent his CON
frmaton by the Senate This action grows out of the
part borne by Mr. Ackerman during tie late rebellion
in which, it is alleged he voluntarily took active
part for about eighteen months. 1t appears that the
legal and special disabilities imposed upon Mr.. Acker
man by the 18th amendment were removed by the
act approved the l4th Of December last, in which
his name appeared with about 1000 Others The op-
position to him would seem not to be based upon
strictly legal objections, but rather upon the question
of proprety in choosing from that GLASS; while plenty of
men at least equal in ability and reputation to Mr..
Ackerman, and without any taint upon their patriot
ism could be had for the place
