AN EFFORT TO CONFIRM SHERMAN.
1t is understood that efforts have been
made to procure an executive session this
afternoon with view to confirming the
nomination Of Senator Sherman as Sec.
retary Of the Treasury.
CONFIRMATION OF SHERMAN.
Immediately after the Senate went into
executive session this afternoon n motion
was made 10 bring before the Senate for
action the nomination of Mr.. Sherman.
Objections being made on the ground that
the nomination had been ordered to be
referred to the Finance Committee when
appointed and that it could not now be
acted upon without unanimous consent,
the Vice President decided that the rules
applicable to references to committees,
etc., were not in force, us no committees
were in existence. After considerable
discussion concerning the point OF order,
the decision OF the Vice President was
sustained without division. The ques.
tion was then taken on the confirmation
Of Sherman's nomination, and it was con-
tirmed by the solid vote OF the Republi,
cans against &c votes in the negative by
the Democratic mepbers. Several DEM
ocrats refrained from voting. No at
tempt was made 70 confirm any other
Cabinet nominations. I'll .HeE

CARL sCnUR2 AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Mr.. Schurz was at the Executive Man.
sion early this evening, and was in con-
sultation with the President for some
time. The visit was more of social
than political character. Assurance is
given tonight that the President has nc
idea whatever Of making any change in
the list Of nominations sent to the Senate
Yesterday.
ABOUT THE TROOPS.
The question Of removing the troops
from the South is likely to rest for the
present, as there is no disposition on the
part Of the President TO make any move
hastily.
A BRILLIANT RECEPTION.
President Hayes tonight officially re,
ceiyed the officers OF the Army and Navy
and Marine Corps. The event was one Of
the most brilliant that has ever animated
the spacious parlors OF the Executive
Mansion. The President and Mrs. Haye:
were stationed in the Blue Parlor (the
apartment where all official receptions
are heidi, and the guests followed, the
