So Stanley Matthews was confirmed, alter
all. and needs only to take the oath OF Office
to he an Associate Justice OF the
United States Supreme Court. In
appointing him to that position, two
months since, President Garfield greatly
disappointed the friends of his administra-
ton and provoked general and severe crlti-
cism. The odium attached 10 the eleva-
ton of man generally considered unit Tor
the place must now be shared by the Senate.
1t is "A striking Illustration of the degradation
of our politics ,ha, Mr.. Matthews's confirma-
ton is attributed TO the efforts OF the great
railroad corporaiions. All the Washington
correspondents agree that the lobbying IN
his behalf was the most aggressive and per
sIslcnt known there for many years. Sena-
tors were laborcd with personally and argued
with by letter iocal political influence was
brought to bear upon them the city was
filled with representatives. of the railroads,
and the mails and wires brought burdens
of missiy.s from others. Senator Plumb
received a despatch from Jay Gould saying
Can YOU not conscientiously vote for the
confirmation Of Matthews :" Such were
the influences brought TO bear in his behalf
They were sufficient 10 overcome an almost
unanimously adverse report of the judiciary
Committee and the active opposition OF such
lawyers AS Senator Edmunds and Senator
David Davis. They have placed upon the
Supreme Bench man who is not sound on
the great financial questions Of the day, who
has had entanglins alliances with the great
railroad corporations, and who, justly or un-
Justly, has but a small share Of public conf
dence. /, was an exceedingly narrow vie
tory, for the vote stood 81 to 21-a majority
Of one OF the - large majority were
Democratic VOTES, the Senators from Georgia,
Mississippi. Florida, Texas, Alabama and
South Carolina all voting for him.
Mr. Matthew's ability AMI honesty are
conceded. lie has for many years been re-
.ardcd as enc Of the ablest lawyers in the
West, and IS undoubtedly a strong man,
though his very unfortunate though luckily
short lived political career, inclined the pub
lie generally To allow him but Il small
Measure Of talc't. Upon the Supreme
bench he may, and We hope will,
make more honorable and satisfactory rec
ord than most OF his opponents have feared.
As MIR Matthews himself said 10 an
interviewer, soon after his continuation, ne
was al a great disadvantage in the contest
just clasrd, because the charges against him
were Of such Il nature that he could not an

upon the bench he would decide certain ques
ti0ns in accrtain way. Denial was of course

Logan AND CAMERON AS IGNORANT AS ANY
ONE OF Combines PLAN-ORIGINAL Pro
GEAMME To HAVE vICE-PREsIDENT AR
THUE RESIGN ALSO.
The Brooklyn Eagles Washington de-
spdtehes say that if two bombshells had
burst over the capital this forenoon they
could hardly have created greater sensation
than the resignation Of Senators Conkling
and Platt. 1t appears that the course of the
Senators was determined upon in New York
on Friday and Saturday after a protracted
conference with all the leaders of the Conk-
ling wing of the party when it was positive
ly asccrtained that neither President Garfield
or Mr.. Robertson was disposed to yield to the
opportunities Of Conkling and his friends
The step was decided on as the only course
to test the strength of the republican senti-
mcnt in the state. The programme is for the
legislature to re-elect both Senators and
thereby rehuke the administration for its al
leged pcrfdy. The republican Senators are
dazed at this remarkable and unexpected ac-
ton. Some already fear il was superinGuced
because Of the hesitancy of the caucus to
stand by the New York Senators in the con-
test with the President. The immediate eff
fects will be to throw the control of the Sen
ate for the next two weeks into the hands of
the democrats most Astounding feature
is tia; such Senators as Logan, Cameron and
Jones We're kept in ignorance of the proceed
my. Having been in Conkling's confidence
from the commencement of the struggle,
they appear to be more surprised than any
body else. is said the programme was to
induce Nice-President Arthur to resign, also,
but the Judgment Of his friends decided
Otherwise.
The President had already determined to
send some other name to the Senate in place
of Woodford for district attorney. Whether
it woull have been Sewall, Shepard or whom
was not settled. Payn and McDougall were
to be- returned. The designations of Conl.
ling and Plat may change the programme.

a Complete Surprise.

THEY CREATE INTENSE EXCITEMENT.
"AsnNGToS, May 16.-In the Senate, to-
day, after the report in the case of Marshal
Lewis Of Virginia, the President laid
before the Senate two letters-one from Sen
ator Conkling and one from Senator Plat of
New York, stating simply that both of these
gentlemen had forwarded their designations
as United States Senators to the Governor of
New York. The letters give no reason for
The resignation There was great sensa-
ton IN the Senate, as the action seemed to
have been entirely unexpected. 1t is stated
that the Senators contemplate appealing to
the New York Legislature for reelection,
expecting that they will be reelected and
that the election will be justification of
their course in the Robertson matter. The
designations were sent to Albany by special
messenger late last night. This was done
after it became entirely clear that Robertson
would not withdraw or be withdrawn. The
Legislature is still in session. Two weeks
notice is said to lie necessary for new cleo
