at Vienna; William Caldwell to be surveyor
of the port of Cincinnati; David Settle to
be United States marshal for the western dis
trict of North Carolina. The nomination of
G.. Marion Moore to be postmaster at Pleas
anton, Kansas, was rejected. A communi-
cation from the President announced that he
had no more nominations to make, and, on
motion of Senator Sherman, the Senate at
O'Clock adjourned sine die.
The President sent to the Senate just be-
fore adjournment a communication with
drawing the nomination of Alexander R.
Lawton, of Georgia, to be minister to Russia.
At the State department it is learned that the
withdrawal was owing to objection from the
Senate committee. The committee it seemed
was of the opinion, notwithstanding the fact
that Mr.. Lawten had received full pardon
and amnesty from President johnson
in February, 1867, that he is yet ineligible
to hold Office because of the political disabil
tiles imposed by the fourteenth amendment
adopted nearly two years after President
Lincoln amnestied Lawton. This was the
only objection coming from the committee
to the confirmation of Mr.. Lawton. The adj
ministration disagreed with the position
taken by the committee, but yielded to their
opposition and withdrew his name.
In executive session when the nominations
of collectors of internal revenue were reached
the Republicans protested against the con-
frmation of the appointees for places filled
by Republicans whose tent1teS OF ONCE are
indefinite such as collectors of internal reve-
nue.. They said they were unwilling to be
placed in the position of aiding in turning
out Republicans holding such of
fee by voting for the confirm
alton of Democrats. The Democratic
Senators without pressing the matter
to vote agreed to consider motion to adj
journ sine die, which, after the doors were
reopened, prevailed.
The nomination of Mr.. Pearson to be post
master of New York was not contested by
anyone in executive session and was con-
frmed without a division.
Following is an unofficial list of nominations
which failed of confirmation. Lewis McMul
len, to be appraiser of the port of New
York; W. w. Long, of Texas. United States
