The Nomination OF Caleb Cushing-
a Desperate OpPesition.
CnrcAoo. January 10.-The hter-
Oceans Washington special says that
the warfare on Cushing's nomination
Il very active. The Cabinet were
unanimous In nominating Cushing.
but tho President Is not much inter-
ested and will use no special means to
secure bis confirmation. There has
been no nomination made for years
regarding which Senators have been
so free to express views. The common
objection Is on political grounds. The
following Republican Senators oppose
Gushing: Alcorn, Allison, Brownlow,
Buckingham, Cameron, Carpenter,
Chandler, Clayton, Crozler, Dorsey,
Edmunds, Ferry Of Mich, Ferry Of
Conn.,. Frellnghuysen, Gilbert, Hitch
cock, Howe. Logan, Mitchell, Morrill,,
Morton. Oglesby, Pratt. Ramsey, Sar-
gent. Scott, Sherman, West, wiidom,
Wright. There are besides these s or
10 not seen to-day who are not counted
A. opposed. Among these are
Ingalls,, Lewis, Patterson, Sprague.
Cragln and wadleigh. Tho Democrats
are almost II not quito unanimous for
the confirmation. or the Liberals,
Schurz, Upton and Fenton are believed
to DO opposed. The Southern Rep
resentatlves are opposed chiefly on ao-
count Of the support Mr.. Cushing gave
Ia the bred Scott Decision. 1t Is GER
tain that Cushing cannot DO confirmed
to day, and that In no way can lie be
confirmed with the assistance Of u ma
jority Of the Republican VOTE In re-
gard to Summers support Of Gushing
the Chronicle says: lin all that has
made Summers career = tallsman I'm
mortal. Mr. Cushing has been his an
tipodes. Sumner has ever been OH the
side Of the oppressed and groaning
slave, aud Cushing as steadily on the
other side. Their changing chains
have filled the breast Of Sumner with
mortal anguish aud wrung his heart
with the deepest grief. 10
tho a OF Caleb Cushing the
ring Of the slaves shackles only
has drawn out that Roman virtue shsd.
owed forth In the bred Scott decision.
Mr.. Summers civil rights bill will be
as worthless as blank paper. unless lite
constitutlonallty shall DO sustained by
the Supreme Court Of the United
States. and to sustain Its validity Mr..
Cushing would have to 60 back on the
record o. a somewhat protracted lie
time. Will Senator Sumner obliterato
his glorious record by aiding to make
Mr.. Gushing Chief Justice? ?"
Indian Matters.
The House Military Committee met
Saturday and heard arguments In re-
gard to turning the Indian Bureau
over to the War Department. IL is
possible there Will DO a report In favor
Of the plan, at least so far as to give
the military exclusive Jurisdiction over
all Indians the moment they move of
their reservation.
Some Good Rules.
Speaker Blaine, Garfield and Ran
dali OF the Committee on Rules, have
considered the proposed rule that oil
private bills for the appropriation Of
money or property shall first be con-
sldercd In Committee Of the Whole,
and the committee went even further
than this and agreed to report a rule
requiring that all bills Of whatever ma
ture which, whether the proposition
was made In them or not, II their re-
suits contemplate taking money or
property from Government shall 90 10
the Committee OF the Whole and DO
open to full discussion there. This
will prevent the smuggling Of bills
through without their first attracting
the attention OF the House, and men,
bers Of the committee estimate 1t will
ave large sums annually.
