WAsHINoToS, January l., 1874.
The result OF the Republican Senatorial caucus
to-day may be summed up ia tie statement that
the nomination of Caleb Cushing will either
be rejected or Withdrawn, probably the latter.
Facts were brought 10 light IN the caucus which
no friend OF General Gushing had reason to eN'
pect, and which make his rejection for the
posilon Of Chief Justice of tue Supreme Court OF
the United States no longer question OF doubt.
The letter OF General Gushing, produced by Sem
ator Sargent OF California, to him, from what Is
known US the Picket Confederate archives, re-
commanding Archib,id Rowan, formerly an
officer OF tile United States Navy to Jefferson
Davis, President Of the Confederacy, Tor position
OF honor and trust seals the tate OF the PRESIDENT
latest nominee for Chief Justice. The circum-
stances under which den. Gushing wrote the
letter have not been explained, aud PROBABLY
never will, but the faci that he wrote Is SUI
fcient. The effect Of the reading Of the letter
upon the caucus is said to be electric. The friends
Of Gen. Cushing, aud he lad many IN the caucus
had no defence to make, and an adjournment
was had soon after the reading OF the letter. u
Is stated to night that the Republican member,
of the Judiciary Committee will at once wal
upon the President, and inform him OF the iaets
and REQUEST him to withdraw Cushing's nomf
nation.
