ANOTHER WITHDRAWAL.

Mr.. Cushing's nomination to be
Chief Justice provoked thefercest par
tisan opposition among the. dyed-in-
the-wool Radicals, who saw IN his con-
firmation the doom of their policy to-
ward the South. The furious war
waged upon Mr.. Gushing by the ex-
IRENE Radicals has had its effect, and
the nomination has been withdrawn at
his request by the President. The
question now is, who next? The Wash
ington correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial says under date Of Jan. u:
''In a conversation had with an Ad-
ministratiOn Senator tonight with re-
gard to Cushing's nomination, the
President said: Il nominated a lawyer
for Chief Justice, and you refused him
because you said he didn't know
enough. Then | sent IN the name
of a man who Is Endorsed by
the bar as thorough lawyer, and you
object to him because you say he is an
Atheist. Now, if you reject him, l
will send in the name Of jeremiah s.
Black His Excellency wearies of
this unseemly delay, and is grown i'm
patient. He has surprised people quite
frequently of late, and it is shrewdly
surmised that he has more and greater
surprises in store
This is probably a canard, so far as
nominating Black is concerned, as that
is about the last thing Grant would do
HIS nomination would create a greater
howl, if possible, than that of Cushing

NEW MEXICO.
RnnianIsrn Ramnanf.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 1.-THE Republican has
a letter from Santa Fe, New Mexico, dated
the It'll, which gives an account of a series
of bloody tragedies that occurred in Lincoln
county last month. 1t appears that on the
first of December party of Texan despera-
does visited resort of demi-monde in the
town of Placitos and created disturbance
and used their revOlvers freely. The Con
stable of the town, Juan Martin, ordered
the ruffians to desist, whereupOn they nd
died him with bullets. Martins posse re-
turned the fire and killed three. The des-
peradoes then fed. Three days afterwards
thew killed two farmers. A day or two
after this affair. Sheriff Miller, with posse
of twenty men, went to Herald's
rancho to arrest the murderers, but
were met by fifty well armed
men and forced TO retreat. a few days
subsequent, and while wedding party was
in progress at the residence OF lsidro IA
trass. in the same neighbOrhOOd, the same
Gang surrounded the house, burst In the
doors and windows, and commenced indis-
criminate firing upon men, women and
children assembled there. Six men were
killed on the spot, and four women serl-
ouslv, perhaps MORALLY wounded. Inc
assassins then fled to their stronghold,
where they still defy the authorities. The
matter was reported TO the Governor by
the Probate Judge and Justice OF the
Peace. the only judicial authorities OF the
county. who declared their Inability to make
arrests. but up to the time the letter was
written the Governor was not known tC
have taken any action.

adopted is as follows: That in the judg-
me1t of the board the laws under which
the customs duties are now collected, are
difficult to understand, and in connection
with the demOraliZing system Of rewarding
informers with moieties, and with the ar
bitrarv powers vested in the officers who
are themselves infOTmers to seize books
and papers, they commonly serve as traps
for honest importers and an encouragement
to corruption. oppression and bribery.
A resolution that in view of the proposed
centennial celebration in Philadelphia, that
city will be the proper place for holding the
session of the Board during the present
and coming wears, was referred to the TX
ecutive Council.

ening transportation was recOmmitted.

report Of the Committee on National FL
nanceS:
l. That the National Board of Trade re-
spectfully recommends TO Congress that
there shall be no further issues Of ire
deamable paper money whatsoever.
2. That in the opinion of this Board, 1t
is the first duty of the government to pro
vide for the retirement and cancellation of
so much of the legal tender issue as has
been taken from the sO-called S44, 100000
reserve.
3. That it is the imperative duty Of the
government to restrict its expenditures In
every department Of the public service to
the lowest possible point, and that strict
economy be instituted in all appropriations.
4. That Congress be requested to 50
amend the national banking law that
banks will be compelled to hold coin they
receive for interest on their bonds hypothe-
Gated as security for their circulation, as
part of their reserve, until their reserve in
coin shall be equal to az least 80 per cent
of their circulating notes.
The balance of the session was occupied
in debate. Adjourned till tomorrow.
