Special Dispatch to Tbs Chicago Tribune.
WAsn1So1oN, 3. @. June 2.-Tl,e Senate in
executive session this evening confirmed tho
Pre6idontB nominees for sccretaty Of tho Treas
ury aud Associate Justice for tho Court Of
Claims. Theno nominations woro referred yes
terday to tho proper Committees, and both re-
ported back this morning, Dir. Dristow being re-
commended unanimously. A1r. Thurman. OF tllo
Judiciary Committee, at it's mooting 1t is UNDER
stood, voted against recommending Richardson
for nomination. In tho executive session HIr.
Bristow was confirmed by tho unanimous vote of
the Senators prcacnt, and Rich4dson by tho
strict vote OF his partsane. Every DOM
ocrat present voted no. Tho conflrma-
ton Of Richardson was scarcely expected. At
loaHt II was not thought possible lie would go
through 60 promptly. OF course, It was bnt the
carrying ont Of tho bargain between President
GRAFT and his CONVERSATIONAL aaheronts. Grant,
1t appears, really did roquire Richardson's
prompt confirmation as Assooiate Judge Of tho
Court Of Claims, as tho price of llis removal
from the Treasury: Tho other Judges OF tho
Court are said to bo greatly disgusted with the
appointment. They regard It MS direct insult
to saddle man upon tho Court who has boon
degraded from nnothor Office.
ITO tho dssoctakeA IYcss.1
WAan1soroS, D. c.. June 2.-Wben tho
Senate went into executive session this after
noon unanimous report was made from the
Committee Oh Finances recommended the con-
tirtnaton OF Gen. Briston to be Secretary Of the
Treasury in place Of Richardson, resigned. Tile
Senate, without hesitation unanimously coll
nlmed the nomination. Not 80. however, with
regard to the nomination Of Richart!aon to BE-
Jnoge Of tho Court Of Claims, which
was not reported back unanimously
from the Committee on tho Judiciary. During
a forty minutes session wiews Tern
interchangel by Sonetors rather It, convcrsa-
tional way than by debato, tho Democrats openly
basing their opposition to the nominee GU the
report of tho Committee on Why's and Means,
aud accompanying testimony III tho Sanborn
case having reference to him. With this OK
coption no guoBtion nrose aB to Ills ttneBB fog
tile JudgeRllip. But little was Eaid OIL the Re-
publican side, certainly ITO formal defense Of his
conduct in the matter OF tho Sanborn contractB.
| Finally, when tho question was talon on
advising aud conAenting to the nom
ination, number Of Republican
Senators in their beats declined to vote. auf-
flcient number of them, however. did 30 to carry
| tho confirmation by q small majority, II those
WHO opposed tho nomination by failing to
respond to their names lad voted In the noga-
| tive the nomination would have been rejected.
| Tie Senate had been canvasscd by n Senatorial
| friend OF Richardson's week before his nomina-
tion wau transmitted to it, when it appeared that
confirmation could 10 secured, though by n small
| majority. Massachusetts iaus now two Judges
on the Donch Of tue Court Of Caims-Loring and
| Richardson.
