to-day. Mr. Trumbull reported the name with the
request that it be confirmed. Mr.. Fowler, OF Ten
nessee, objected, but upon some explanations made
by Mr.. Trumbull the objection was Withdrawn and
the confirmation was made without division This
is considered here a satisfactory rebuke Of few
factous individuals, and exhibits one more evidence
OF the fact that the majority Is with the President
and is disposed to heartily uphold his administra-
ton, despite the efforts Of one or two 10 the con-
trary, regardless Of consequences. -
American Difficulties in Cuba.
No Official accounts have recently been received
concerning aairs in CUBA, but private letters repre-
sent that the authorities there are much interested
in preventing difficulties between the people and
American citizens there.
Defeat Of the Congressional Apportionment
After long and rather lively debate the bill for
the app0rtionment OF members or Congress under
the census Of 1870 was recommtted to the Judiciary
Committee and the clinching motions TO reconsider
and lay on the table agreed to. The Judiciary Com
mittee will hardly be called again this session for re-
ports, and except some extra effort Is made to get it
before the House again the bill is in erect killed. It is
understood, however, that an effort will be made
next Monday"to bring it in and pass 1t under
suspension OF the rules. The chief
objection to 1t seems to be in increasing the number
the House, Axed the number at 275; but the Senate
amended it to make 1t soO Its passage in this
shape Is doubtful.
Tho Georgia Bill Reported.
General Butler reported the Georgia bill to-day,
and according to arrangement, half dozen amend.
ments were offered to it In the House, among them
the famous Bingham amendment. 1t was agreed
that vote shall be taken tomorrow at two O'clock
1t is thought that the Bingham amendment, or some
thing similar to 1t, will be adopted.
