REJECTED.
The Senate rejected, March 4, the
nomination Of John Mcneil, of St. Louis, as
United States marshal for the Eastern district
Of Missouri. Gen. McNcirs rejection was CT
fectcd by the very decisive vote 81 nays
against 7aycs. This action was based upon
the adverse report from the Judiciary commit
tee, accompanied with statement to the CT
ect that Gen. Mcneil, in the year 1867, while
in command Of Uutcd States troops at Pal
myra, Mo-, ordered the execution of eleven
citizens of that ncighborhood who had been
arrested, but not yet tried, on charge of
bushwhacking, and did execute ten of them
as a measure Of retaliation for the alleged ab-
duction or supposed murder Of a union man
in the same county. McNei!'s orders required
the execution OF these prisoners if the missing
unionst was not returned within a certain
period, and rs nothing was heard from the
latter the orders were carried into effect by
M.Ncil's provost marsha upon the designat-
ed day. It was Also stated by a member of
the Judiciary committee, in executive session
that the life of the eleventh prisoner was
spared by the provost marshal upon an c,-
forced condition. that the honor OF the for
mer's wife should be the price of her husbands
release, and that Gen. Mcneil continued this
same provost marshal in service under him
after the disgraceful facts became known.
