[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRrBrNR.l
WASHINGTON, Dec 0.-There is excellent reason
10 believe that Associate Justice Hunt Of the United
States Supreme Cont, has either placed his resig-
nation in the hands Of the President or announced
his intention to do very soon, and that the posi-
ticn has been offered to Senator Edmunds VINO
holds ID under advisement. 1t has long been known
that Judge Hunt has contemplated resignation III
consequence of i'll health. The Presidents inten-
ton to offer the position to Senator Edmunds has
also been known.
All those who can speak with authority upon the
subject decline either TO affirm or deny the truth OF
the report They say that 1t would be improper to
speak at this time
There is probably not Republican in the land. or
for that matter n Democrat either. who would be
more certain of confirmation at the hands oi Dem
ocratc Senate for any position to which he might
he nnmed than Senator Edmunds. Although be-
vond all comparison the most awkward man III that
body to encounter IN debate the readest at parlia-
mcntary repartec, and the most obstinate with his
objections 10 everything which is questionable he
is nevertheless believed TO have the friendship and
most certainly has the respect, of every Senator.
Even were IL not for this they would doubtless be
glad TO confirm him. il for nothing more than TO get
rid OF one of their ablest antagonists, and ono VINO
is never caught sleeping.

MR.. DAVIS A LITTLE MYSTERIOUS.

A RESOLUTION CALLING FOR INFORMATION FROM
THE TREASURY WHICH HE FAILS TO EXPLAIN
TIE OBJECT oT-MR EDMUNDs QUESTIONS HIM
HARD.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRiBUSE.l
WASHINGTON Dec. 9.-The first brief approach TO
ANYTHING Ike debate in the Senate took place
during the morning hour to-day. 1t calm
and placid as a Summer shower, and was in entire
accord with the amicablc sentiments professedly
entertained by the members of either party toward
those of the other At the same time. it developed
the fact that the Republicans at least are on vigi
liant guard against the passage of any political
measure unless its character is first fully exposed.
Senator Davis, of West Virginia, whose hobby it
is TO investigate for political purposes the translc-
iions of be Treasury Department brought forward
n abrand-aew project III the shape of a resolution
calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury Tor Il
statement showing " by states" the amounts paid
ont since 1866 for claims growing out of the war.
IL was impossible without explanation to under
stand what the resolution meant. In answer -
onestions by Senator Edmunds and Senator Dawes.
Mr. Davis explained that the writer of the resOlu-
ton wished to know what amounts had betn paid
out to residents of each State for private claims
since the end of the war.
Senator Edmunds said that there was not the
least objection that he could tn making public
any information attanab.c from the Treasury
cords but u wOuu cost great sum 10 prepare h'cI
a statement, and he could no possible advan-
tace to the Senate in having it in the shape called
for by the resolution. II the work was TO be done
at all it should cover al! the period of the from
lis beginning uutil the present time. showing the
aggregate amounts paid ont by the Secretary for
each State in consequence of the war. lie Ques-
toned the propriety of furnishing by foIma! act
of the Senate material which would only be service
able for stump speeches; yet if the whole story
could be told at once, and all tho expenditures
sulting from the war could lie placed before the
senate he thou .ht II would be very useful re-
minder of most disaSrccabe episode In our Ma
tional history. lie proposed an amendment carry
ing The date from which the statement should begun
back to 1861. .
The senator also questioned Mr.. Davis at some
length az to his object IN this matter, but the eX-
piraton of the morning hour put an end TO the dis
cusson for to-day.
The general impression is that Senator Davis has
run against something IN the Treasury department
i'm regard TO the payment of private claims OF which
he hopes to make political capital If he can bring
out I'M lust the form his experts have planned II aud
disconnected with other facts and figures OF an op-
posite political character Senator Davis is guile
less man. but he failed tn explain the point IN his
resolution although repeatedly asked to do so.
