THE UTcoNFIRMED CABINET NoMINA-
WASHINGTON, March 9.-When the
Senate went into executive session to-
day, an attempt was made to take up and
confirm the remainder of the cabinet
nominations, but 1t was unsuccessful and
they were all then referred to the appro
pirate committee. The nomination of
Mr.. Schurz was sent to the finance COM
mittee, and 1t is understood that commit
tee will be unanimous in recommending
his confirmation. Mr.. Evarts' nomina-
ton went to the committee on foreign
relations, and the report recommending
his confirmation will be majority one
only. So with the nomination of Gen.
Devens, which went to the judiciary
committee. Among thore who are oppos-
ing Gen. Devens is Gen. Butler, who has
personal grudge against him. It is
probable that some of the nominations
will be reported back tomorrow and ac
tiop asked on them, but it is contended
by the friends of the administration poll
cy that all the nominations ought to be
reported back and acted on at the same
time. Several of the republican Senators
announce their intention to bring forward
personal charges against Mr.. Schurz. One
republican Senator said to-day that he did
not like Schurz in the least, but he did
not care to make fight on him, for he
mad no doubt that Schurz would get up a
ngnt IN the cabinet before three months
mad rolled round and break it up. Gen
Cameron still keeps up his opposition.
He says that neither the administration
nor the republican party can get along
| without Pennsylvania. and he intends to
let them see it. He says that HAYES
owes his election to Pennsylvania, and
that this treatment of the claims of Penn
sylvania is the basest kind of ingratitude.
1t so happens from the composition of
the finance committee that all its men,
bers are friendly to Mr.. Schurz, but this
will have no effect to stay the bitterness
of the attacks that will be made on him
| in the Senate. Thompson and McC Creery
will get larger vote for confirmation
than any of the others.
| AMiABLY STUBBORN,
To-day Mr.. Jno. T. Verree, presl>
dent OF the Union League of Philadel-
phia, and personal friend of Mr..
Hayes, called at the White House and
had an interview with him. He con-
graduated him on the sentiments of
his inaugural, indorsed his Southern
policy, and assured him of his belief
tnat the people of Pennsylvania and of
the whole country were with him. He
also expressed the hope that he would
not allow himself to be forced from
the position which he had assumed.
Mr.. Hayes was evidently pleased to
learn that the Camerons were not all
of Pennsylvania. He said that he did
not desire to be captious, but he did
propose to be amiaby stubborn. He
had mapped out policy for his admin
istratlon which he thought would re-
dound to the common good of the
whole country, and he would moi
sWerve from his course unless it was
demonstrated to his own satisfaction
that it was wrong. In the meantime
he bad no desire to antagonize his ad-
nlnistration against The Senate, but he
could not recede from what he believ-
ed to be right because of an unreason-
ing clamor. Mr.. Verree then said 10
Mr.. Hayes thet he was delighted TO
hear hinA talk so, that he had felt a
little uneasy at the outlook, and
thosght that perhaps he would allow
himself to be bull-dozed by the NAL
contents. Gov Hayes smiled and said,
II repeat, Mr.. Verree, that am deter
mined to be amiably stubborn"
| AN INDIGNANT REPUBLICAN.
An ex-republican member of Congress
from one of the Southern States went to
the White House to-day, intending to
ask for an interview with Gov. Hayes
He came away without carrying out his
purpose, and said he saw q line of ex
Contederates stretching from the front
gate to the portico of the executive man.
slon,and concluded that it was no place
for Union man. The ex-Congressman
wanted an office. Afterwards some of
his friends saw one of the new cabinet
appointees and asked his influence. He
replied that it would be the policy OF
Gov. Hayes's administration to put
none but natives in office in the South.
THE ASSIGNMENT OF JUDGE DAVIS.
Judge Davis was put on the judiciary
committee of the Senate by the assign
ment ofthe republican caucus, which
gives the democrats much satisfacti on, las
they conceive that it really gives them
an additional member on that important
; committee. Judge Davis has not attend
ed the caucus Of either party, but the
democratic Senators say they are perfect.
