REVIEW OF THE WEEK.

In THE Senate on Saturday last the nomina-
ton OF Roscoe Conkling to the Associate
JusuceshiP of the Supreme Court was con-
hrmed in executive session. receiving only
twelve negative votes. The discussion was
brlef Senators Morrill, and Hawley speaking
IN opposition to the confirmation. There was,
however no attack made upon Mr.. Conklings
character. The result did not surprise the
friends OF the ex-senator, nor did his declina-
ton OF the Office, which he rendered to the
President on Monday. He declined to make
any explanation as to his reasons fer refusing
the office, but it is evident that he does not pro-
pose to withdraw from politics. 1t is intimated
that similar honor was subsequently offered
TO senator Ednunds and that he also declined
and 1t Is now said to be possible that the name
OF Judge BIatchford, of New York, may be sent
to the Senate to fill the vacancy.

Baltimore by the announcement that two of
the bondsmen OF Colonel Harrison AdreOn had
Withdrawn and notified the Postmaster-Gen-

ment, explains their course by stating that the
withdrawal of the bonds was because he did
not chose to permit himself to be dictated to in

force under him. He came to Washington at
once and renewed his bond. Colonel Adreon

SENATOR HILL,
4 LEADING SOUTHERN STATESMAN.

The fact is unquestionable that Georgia is
the most progressive Of the Southern States.
Several of her sons are distinguished in the
legislature Of the nation, and many are eX
cellent business men with large capital, enter
prise and push. Perhaps only second to
Alexander ii. Stephens among these men, is
the subject of this sketch, who is Georgian
by birth, of Irish descent on his fathers side.
Benjamin Harvey Hill was born in Jasper
county, September IA, 1923. He was grad
uated from the State University when q
years CT age, after which he studied law and
was, in due time, admitted to the bar. His
career as lawyer proved very successful. In
1851, he was sent to the State Legislature as
q Union man. Four years later, he suffered
defeat as candidate for Congress. When
Buchanan and Fremont were nominated in
1856, he gained notoriety as q speaker opp0s-
ing them. In 1857, he ran for Governor Of
Georgia, but unsuccessfully. He was mem
Der Of the State Senate in 1859, and an earn
est supporter of the Bell and Everett ticket in
1860. He opposed secession in the beginning,
but afterward went with his State, and was
Senator in the Confederate Congress through
out the period of the war. The upshot of
this was his arrest by Federal officers in May,
1866, and his confinement for two months in
Fort Lafayette, New Y York harbor. In 1861
he presided over the Macon Convention, which
reOrganized the Democratic party OF the South
on the Union basis. and subsequently opposed

by vigorous work with his pen. When Horace
Greeley was nominated he strenuously sup
ported the ticket In 1878. he was an unsuc-
cessful candidate for the United States Sem
ate. After his election to the House of Rep
resentatives in 1875, he distinguished himself
ia debate with Blaine. When the Electoral
Commission. after the Hayes.Tilden cam

in Yolo is not as encouraging as two weeks

chiefly the late sown, that will be total
failure. It is generally thought that there
will be an average of half q crop. The north
