The foreign commerce of New York
during October was remarkable, Indeed
1t was unprecedented. for the amount OF
exports. The value of domestic produce
exported was no less than $50, 1858, $50.
which was the largest total ever reached
in one month in the history of the port.
The foreign exports bring up the amount
to upwards of 81 millions. The imports,
on the other hand. were but S26, 300 600,
exclusive of specie, SO that the excess of
exports above imports was 100000 at
New York alone, which is also. we be-
lieve, something never before reported
The specie movement was unimportant
either in amount or in the general result.
Neither the imports nor the exports
amounted to million dollars, and the net
result was an expectation OF less than $780,
600. The heavy exports of merchandise
continue, and exchange is very weak on
account of the large supply of bills. 1t
seems impossible to check an early move
ment of specie to this country.

Mr.. Stevens's COnfirmat on.

MIR. StevenS'S COn1rIiat Oh.
The confirmation OF Mr.. Stevens as Min
lister to Sweden is creditable TO him and to
all concerned. Mr.. c. c. Andrews whom
he succeeds was an officer without stain
upon his record and worthy gentleman
In all respects. He was a native of Min
nesota, and therefore the senators from
that State were DESTROYS of having him re-
tanned as Minister to Sweden, as ii was
proper they should. He was appointed in
1869, and held the Office eight years. On
ly one other foreign minister, the minister
to the Hawaiian Islands, had held his Of
fee so long as Mr.. Andrews, and in that
office a change has been made by Presi-
dent Hayes.
Mr.. Stevens's name was reported to the
Senate from the committee on Foreign Re-
lations last Friday. but under the rules
action was deferred upon it until Monday.
When II came up for confirmation Monday
Senator Window of Minnesota said that
so far as he had been able to learn, alter
careful inquiry. Mr.. Andrews had always
performed the functions of his Office In a
manner satisfactory to the State Depart
ment, and no charges had ever been
made against his character or the manner
in which he had administered the duties OF
his position. He therefore thought that II
was contrary to the rules OF clvll-service
reform that Mr. Andrews should be re-
moved without cause and another person
be given his place. Senator Mcmillan
seconded the views of Senator Window.
and asked for a call of the yeas and nays
on the confirmation. Senator Hamlin
warmly advocated the confirmation OF Mr..
Stevens. and when the roll was called on
ly six senators voted against confirming
while all others including the democrats
voted in favor.
Besides the opposition Of the Minnesota
senators who desired TO keep their friend
in office, and who urged that Mr.. Steyens's
appointment was contrary to civil service
reform, the confirmation question came
before the Senate as the test of a rule which
had been proposed for adoption at the SEN
atorial republican caucus on Saturday
by Mr.. Conkling, which would require
republican senators to vote against all
appointments made to fill vacancies
caused by the removal of officers before
their commissions expired, and against
whom no accusations had been made.
Thus it will be seen that while there
was no opposition to Mr.. Stevens person
ally, there was combination OF circum-
stances against him of such strength as
would have defeated candidate TO whose
character or fitness exceptions might have
been taken. or who had less powerful sup
port than that of Senators Blaine and
Hamlin. at is possible" says the Fri
bune, "that the result might have been
different had Mr.. Stevensbeen less prom
inent in the republican party, or had he
possessed less influential support than that
of the two Senators from Maine; but
whatever were the influences which Sc
cured his con frmation, the vote of to-day
shows that no inflexible rule to govern
Senators in the action upon nominations
can be adopted or enforced"
