New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1877-10-18

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17-The nomination of Cen
eral John NJ. Harlan, of Kentucky, to be Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court Of the United States
was made to the Senate this afternoon as it was ex
clusivey announced in rHE TRIBUNE that 1t wonld
be- several DAYS ago. There are indications OF two
fold opposition To the confirmation OF General har-
Ian. Strange to say, this opposition is expected 10
come from extreme Southern men and from extreme
Northern men, aud for exactly contrary reasons.
TIE Bourbons it is said, are making objections 10
Harlan Oh the ground that he is Radical, and not
proper representative of the South, or OF the
States'-rght school. Some of the Northern
Republicans are opposing him on the ground
that, although q Union soldier from the start. ne
voted they say. for General Mcclellan ana opposed
the Constitutional amendments General Haran's
friends say it is not true that he opposed the Con-
stitutional amendments, for he made the campaign
for Grant and Colfax stunning his State on the plat
form of the Constitutional amendments General
Harlaus speeches, in support Of these amendments
are some of the strongest that have ever been made
the story is also started that General Harlan is a
relative by blood or marriage. of Mrs. Hayes THIS
is also not true neither General Harlan nor his wlie
are in any way related to the Presidents household,
and General Harlan never saw President Hayes I'M
til last Spring.
disappointment of General Harlan has gone othe
Judiciary Committee for consideration, and con
frmatiop will depe ID largely OH favorable report.
The committee is composed of Senators I'd nunds.
Conkling, Howe, Christiancy. Davis OF ILL.,. lhur-
man. and Mcdonald. None of these gentlemen are
supposed to have any personal feeling against zen
eral Harlan but it is surulsed that hr C0nkhhg
NAV oppose him on political grounds, Mr.. Howe be-
cause he wanted the plac" himself, and Messrs.
DAVIS. Elmunds and Thurman because of doubts as

the appointee with his ideal standard of what a
member of the highest tribunal in the nation ought
to De and Mr. Edmunds aud Mr. Thurman are law
yers of such eminence that they VIII probably sean

Secretary Sherman is not TO escape criticism with
