Particulars OF GonkLing's Confirmation.
WASHINGTON. March Sl.-The proceedings
iG executive session regarding ex-senator
Conklings nomination were unexpectedly
brief, occupying altogether only about half
an hour. There were 40 formal speeches,
and nothing was said against his fitness for
the Supreme Bench. But the point was raised
by Bayard and other Democratic Senators
that the Senate should lot allow itself to be
used simply 60 bestow compliments on the
friends of the President. Until it was known
whesher Conkling would accept the appIint-
mept, the Senate should refrain from acting
on the nomination. lie this connection refer
ence was made 60 Governor Morgan declining
the Secretaryship Of the Treasury after he
had been confirmed for that position, aad it
was substantially charged that his noniua-
ton aud Conkling's had alike been sent TO the
Senate merely for political effect, or by way
of o personal compliment. Ia reply, it
was authorita.ively affirmed by a Re
publican Senator that the President
expected that Morgan would accept the
nomination when ap9rIse1 of its having been
sent In, although afGer lis confirmation he
found thst tia state OF his health, snd other
reasons, wou,d not psr,nii bis serving and

be applied to all other nominations. The

noes including four Republicans. A number
of other members of the Senate paired, and
