New York, Is The Times Washing
ton, hints, that as it is usual for senator's
to notify the President Of confirmation,
only sitter two intervening executive ses-
sions, 1t is possible Stanley Mathews
confirmation may yet be reconsidered and
rejected. The Times adds, Matthews
arrived in Washington this morning, and
this evening, q large number of his
friends called to congratulate him on his
narrow escape. Associate Justices Field
and Harlan, were among the callers.
Times editorial: It may safely be said
that no man has ever been elevated to
the Supreme Court Bench under more
questionable auspices. The intelligent
opinion of the country ha, been against,
as has also the prepondsrating weight Of
character and ability on both sides of the
Senate. If his nomination by Hayes
was discrsditable, its renewal by Garfield,
after the emphatic protests Of the press
and legal profession, has been still more
so. He owes his confirmation to demo-
cratic votes, and will take his seat on the
bench under such cloud of suspicion as
TO his character and sffiliAtion, as must
greatly interfere with his usefulness. II
is to be feared that traditional public re-
spect for the judicial strength and i'm
Partially Of the Supreme Court will not
survive repetition of such q nomination
as Was yesterday approved by the Senate.
ITI6une's editorial: After a storm Of
malignant SANDER, unexAmpled in its
persistence sud violence, lasting from
the hour Of his nomination by President
Hayes until yesterday, Stanley 81 at
thews was confirmed by q small ma
jority. The committee on judiciary re-
ported against him with something like
1t is not easy 10 guess the
reason which dictated their action. His
professional ability is Of the highest; his |
moral character has never been called in
question. The fact that he has assisted
various railroads with his counsel, seems
hardly q sufficient bar TO exclude him |
from the bench, although this has baan |
The principal objection made to him. So |
far a. the public is informed, the real |
cause Of opposition to him would seem to |
be that large number of democrats
hold him responsible for the seating Of |
Hayes and certain number of repub- |
Iicans identify him with the southern |
policy OF that President. They have
not been able TO defeat him, however,
and the bench has gained lawyer second
20 none now there.
Herald: Memorial services commem-
1rative of the late Mrs. Paddock, wife Of |
Bishop Paddock, who died recently in |
Washington Territory. were held yester- |
lay morning at st. Peters Episcopal
Church, Brooklyn. The church was
by friends Of the deceased and
ler husband, and there WAS large num-
Der of clergymen OF different denomina-
ions present. The services were con-
iucted by Bishop Littlejohn. Com
nunion services were read by Rev. DR..
Schenck. An address on the religious |
ife Of the dsceaEed WAS them made by |
he bishop.
The City Of Washington has sailed,

Commercials Washington special: |
The Chinese legation is in qusndary.
linn ediately on the reception of tele- |
graphic intelligence Of the death of the |
iowager empress, the legation went into |
mourning, and after the practice OF the
astion pig tails were tied with black. |
The ientire legation, down to the house |
servants, were deferred from attending
any entertainment or making merry in
any manner. 1t now APPEARS that the
stipulated period Of mourning must dste
ts commencement from the receipt Of the
news by mail. This is imperative, and
he legation finds that it has imposed
upon itself, unnecessarily, two whole
weeks Of penitential grief.
Evening Post, on Burke's compro-
mise: In other words, the bonanza firms
have found his case good enough to buy
him of. But as they have not bought
off large numb of stockholders whose
injury is identical with Burke's, there
exists naturally good deal of bitter feel
ing. There is bitter feeling, and it may
be warranted, but if SO it cannot clearly
be assusged. 1t does not appear, so far
90 we can see, that Burke had any rights
or claims which are not common to all
other stockholders in the bonanza mines.
It does appear thSt the persons sued were
80 far impressed with the cogency Of the
against them as to make
sacrifice to quash it. The road is there
fore open to any stakeholder or associs-
ton Of stockholders TO proceed in like
manner. This will DO the natural out
come of the compromise already made.
It il proper to add, that il the sworn
statements made in Burke's original COM
plsint were sustained by evidence, some
thing more than either civil suits or COM
promise should have followed the demon
ekrati0n
