The nomination OF Mr.. Casey to be col.
lectOr OF the port of New Orleans has
already caused some debate in the execu.

MIR. Casey. His reasons are, that, while
Mr.. Casey is personally agreeable to him.
politically. the collector and his friends are
inlmical to the interests of the Senator and
the best interests Of the Republican party
in the State
If Mr.. Casey would disconnect himself
from what the Senator desgnates the ring
or corrupt element of the Republican party
in the State, he (Mr. West) would have no
objection to the confirmation, but as Mr..
Casey has not signifed his intention Of
leaving that faction, the opposition is made.
The Democrats and Liberal Republicans
intend to bring before the Senate the report
made by the congressional committee sen:
to Louisiana, OF which Mr.. Scofield was
chairman. upon which the President de.
manded Mr.. Casey's resignation.

tertalned.
The Vice Presiden: sustained the poin.
of order.
