Discussion on Confirmation.

NAsHlNtION, rtD. Z.
In the executive session OF the senate to-
day there was discussion, which lasted
nearly m hour and a half. respecting the
nomination of +. G. Billings to be United
States district Judge for Louisiana. vice
Durell resigned. The report of the ju-
dietary committee recommends the confr-
nation. This was opposed by several
democratic senators on the ground that
Billings took part in the preparation and
issuance of the so-called "mdnight order"
of Judge Durell, and that he was impro-
perly connected with the transactions Of
Norton the register in bankruptcy. These
allegations were denied by Senator West
and several members of the judiciary com
mittee, who claimed to show that they
were entirely unfounded. The indications
are that when the matter is decided Billings
will be confirmed by a nearly solid repub-
lican vote, and his friends assert that some
of the democratic senators also will vote
for his confirmation.

A Spanish Election.

LONDON, req. 7.
The Times publishes letter from Sc
will this morning which contains the fol-
lowing details of the recent elections in
Spain for members of the new cortes {:
Frauds and intimidation practiced by the
government in the conduct of the elections
have done more to destroy confidence and
promote discord in the providence than can
possibly be estimated. Not only was
wholesale bribery practiced, but voting
papers were forged by thousands. One
town in Andalusia presented a protest,
whereupon five or six persons were imme-
diatcly imprisoned Men of war were sent
to seaports of known liberal proclivities
and carbineers, and armed police IN other
places hindered voters.

houses are now up and sixty in the process
of erection. Water IS found twenty feet
from the surface. A steam saw mill will
be in operation in eight days. Flour twelve
dollars per hundred. Bacon 30 cents per
pound. New parties have arrived this
winter and made new laws. Old pioneers
find their mining claims jumped. Miners
from the north, this side the Big Horn, ie-
port new discoveries far surprising any yet
made. Thirty men left here to-day to
prospect them. Red Cloud and several
hundred warriors have gone north. They
arc reported to have said that they would
go on the war-path rather than stay on
their reservation and starve. Sitting Bull
will cooperate with him.

Almost Drowned.

Scott Rounds, q young man engaged in
loading Ice ON Fox pond, near Wallngford
village, came near being drowned one day
last week. An opening had been made in
the ice a few days before, from which
cakes for loading had been taken, and this
place being covered by thin layer of
newly formed ice and slight fall Of snow,
was SO obscured as that Rounds, in search
ing for it, suddenly walked into it and i'm
mediately sank, being helped to do so by
the weight of his ice tongs. which he had
in his arm. He soon parted with these,
and rising found himself considerable
distance under the solid ice, and had it not
been for the assistance of Moses Marsha,
who was cutting ice at the time, must have
been drowned. Marsha, by lying down
and reaching to his farthest extent, man
aged by great exertion to draw out the
drowning man from his perilous and nearly
fatal condition. c.

A Bit of a Mistake.

One day, several weeks ago, Mrs. John
Sheridan appeared in breathless haste at
the sheriff's office and desired the immci
date arrest of her son Pat. He had been
guilty of drunkenness, of assault, of
breaking and destroying things, and her
life was in danger. On her statement a
warrant was made out for his arrest. The
urgency of the case was also corroborated
by Mr. John Sheridan, the father of this
terrible lad. He wanted him put in a safe
place at once.
For the time being Pat prudently kept
out of sight of the officers, but on Satur-
day last he was seen by chief-of-police
5tearns, who summoned help, and, after
an exciting chase, he was caught, as de-
tailed in yesterdays GLOBE. Yesterday he
was arraigned before II. w. Porter, at the
jail, and Mr. and Mrs. Sheridan and a
brother of the prisoner, summoned as wit
nesses.
To the surprise of all, the witnesses de-
MED that Pat was drunk, or beat his
mother, or broke anythlng-Oh, no! Fat
never did anything out of the way, he was
a jewel, dailnt and broth of boy.
The young Sheridan after being sworn and
before any question was asked him, jumped
up and said he knew nothing against Pat
Mrs. Sheridan came near admitting, how
ever, that her life had been threatened If
she testified against the model youth
The officers who had, on such urgent So
licitation been to so much trouble to secure
the offender, it had taken four officers after
weeks OF watching, were equally surprised
and Disguised. Justice Porter of necessity
dismissed the charge. Pat was, however,
remanded to jail for default on an old fine.
The devoted parents of the idle vagabond
will doubtless raise the money and set him
at liberty as soon as possible.
