WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The Senate was in
on the nomination of VIM A. Simmons to be
the Collector of Customs at Boston.
Senators Boutwell, and Sumner again several
ly spoke in opposition of the nominee regard
ing him as mean politician not fitted by edu-
cation tor the high and responsible position,
and who was not acceptable to the larger num-
OF Intelligent merchants of Boston.
Senators Conkling and Carpenter advocated
the nomination, speaking in praise of the gem
teman and OF his business capacity, and were

nation by vote of q against IT, The Demo

dozen or more friends of Simmons who were
standing at the main oOor when thew gave ex-
preston to their JOY in loud cheers. Tonight
tney called on Gen. Butler to exchange congrat-
ulations.
;. The opponents of Simmons have made pub
~. nc tne letter OF John M. Forbes in behalf OF
tne Boston Committee, addressed to the Presi
cent, dated February 18th, in which they as
sure MN that the statement made to him of
the nomination having the approval of the ma
loriayS OF me delegation, and which was used
10 induce him to make the nom ina ion. was un-
true. They, therefore, respectfully but firmly
urge that the nomination be withdrawn. as
having not only been made on misresen ted
facts, but as contrary to sound policy and to
the long established usages of the party which
the PRESIDENT undoubtedly supposed he was
confirming. They object to the nomination up
on the broader grounds that it was irregulariy
brought about by one man, Gen. Butler; that
it was unfit, unpolitic and against the interests
of the mercantile community, the great Repub-
lican party and of the whole country. But
they are sure that no man who knows the sur
prise with which their entire commuuity
whether friendly or otherwise to the candidate
learned of the appointment to the most i'm
portant federal Office in New England, of q
