THE NOMINATIONS OF CHASE AND Prr1snrrRY
Mr. Hale gave notice in the Senate to-day
that Immediately upon the conclusion of Mr.
Mitchelts speech in favor OF abrogating Chinese
session. It is generally understood that Mr.
daie's anxiety for executive session is to
procure the early rejection Of Messrs. Chase and
P1lisbury, nominated as collectors In Maine and
Massachusetts,. The democratic Senators think
mat MI. Hale is in too much Of q hurry, and
some Of them declare their intention TO OPPOSE
hurried action. 1t has been rumored that the
democrats would resort to filibustering to Sc
cure delay. but leaders of that party say that
such line of action has not been even sug.
gested. Some of the democrats, however hold
vent injustice.

entire Indian Territory into the territory of
Oklahoma. The committee still has under con-
