THE POsTMAsTER-GENERaLsBI
WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The greater part
OF the Senate executive session to-day was
devoted to the pending nomination OF ex-
Congressman Horace Maynard, OF Tennes-
see, as Postmaster-General.
Senators Beck and VOORHEES, opposed the
confirmation on account OF Mr.. Maynard's
extreme partisan course during recOnstruc-
ton times in Tennessee.
Senator Bailey, OF that STATE spoke in IA
vor OF the confirmation, taking the ground
that in view OF Mr.. Maynard's unquestiona-
BILE private integrity and ability his extreme

terests Of peace and reconciliation.
Pending further discussion the Senate
adjourned. The probabilities are that Mr..
