President GRANT, THE SENATE, AND
JUDOE HoAR's NoNrSLTIoN.--The Washing
ton correspondent Of the New York Post
telegraphod as follows to that paper on
Monday
A Westsrn Senator, who called upon tho
President last week TO urge the appointment
Of some Southern lawyer to ono Of the vacant
supreme Judgeshlps, says that General Grant
intlmated his intention Of nlllng both Of the
vacancies with men from the Northern or
Western ststes. He also expressed great
disaAtisfaetlon with the manner In which the
Southern Senators tried TO influence him In
the way Of appointments, and thought less
psrsiitsnsv would accomplish far better ro-
suits. r...
In talking about the action Of the Senate,
In not confirming Mr.. Hoar for the Supreme
bench, the President said that many Sena-
tors who voted 10 table Mr.. Hoar's name
had, previous TO his appointment, assured
him The Presldent) that II was one which
would give almost universal satisfaction.
In regard 70 Mr.. Hoar's withdrawing from
the Cabinet, In consequence Of the course Of
the Senate, the President said he Intended
TO be governed entirely by Mr. Hoar's
wishes, and as the latter has already lndi.
Gated his intention Of remaining, there
would be no change at present, unless the
Senate roconsldered their action and con.
nrmed Mr. Hoar for the Supreme bench,
which he hoped they would do, as he did moi
Intend TO withdraw his name nor make any
other nomination until this one was either
confirmed or rejected.
The above conversation would seem To In
diGats that strong effort will be made TO
get tho Senate to confirm Mr.. Hoar. In
fact the lattsr's friends are talking quite
confidently, and seem ready to take his
name up again as soon ns the Senate meets,

In the fret place the writer objects TO the

MrmpuIs THEArEn.-The I

MEMPHIS THEATER. The regular sea-
son was inaugurated at the Memphis
Theatre last evening. The attendance,
which is always an important point to
mention, was large, respectable, and
fashionable. 1t was what might be called
a first rate house, and the opening was
in all respects suspicious. Mr.. Domi-
nick Murray, well supported by the
Olympic Dramatic Company, appeared
as SHAUN the Post in the great Irish
drama Of Arrah ma Pogue, or the Wick
low Wedding. 1t is no exaggeration to
say that Mr.. Murray is genuine artist,
and by far the best delineator of real
Irish character that we remember at
present to have seen on our boards.
There is none Of the rant about him; he
acts as true hearted son of
Erin naturally would under the cir
cumstances, and so far forgets himself as
to live, act, feel and look the character
of the honest, noble Shaun. No actor
ever had more appreciative audience
he enchanted the spectators from his
first appearance, and the pleasing spell
was not broken until the curtain fell on
the last act. Beamish McCool was cred
itably sustained by Mr.. Hall. Col. O..
Grady, fine Irish gentleman, was fairly
presented by Mr.. Ryner. Michael Fanny
the informer, sustained his part so well
that his appearance was the signal for
prolonged hiss, especially in the gal
leries. Arrah Meelish, by Julia
Blake, and Fanny Cover, by
Amelia Waugh were acted with spirit,
pathos, and fine effect. Taken altogether
the performance of the piece was one
of the best ever presented to Memphis
audience.
