case OF Simmons, Benjamin Buffers nominee for
Collector OF tho Port OF Boston. Nr, Boutwell,
to whom the nomination had been referred, made
! report, wherein he used this language: "This
man must not be confirmed" OF course execu-
tive sessions are secret affair." and Senators ara
loath to tell what occurs on these OCCASIONS, but
enough has leaked out regarding the proceedings
OF ito.dAy's meeting to maze it . pretty safe
cooked. Both the Massachusetts Senators
made speeches against his confirmation and.
8 Vote being taken, it was found that while
10 Senators were for confirmation, TO were
81 Senators to constitute quorum and onlY IS
were Oh nand when the vote was taken, it will

wAsu1so7oS, b. C., Fob 26.~Nobody YVES
more surprised than were Butler and Simmons
at the rejection Of the latter They wore per-
fectly confident that Boutwell, would make
favorable report, and that the confirmation
would be promptly had. Simmons friends are
very bitter tonight, az he, in his capacity as
Butler's e man Friday" did more in tho way Of
setting things up to secure Douswen's election
than any other man in Massachusetts. It is
believed BY parties thoroughly couversant with
all the circumstances OF the case, that il tho
Senate rejects Simmons by vote when quorum
is present, the President will return his name,

drned.
