Gen. Rosecrans' Nomination.

HIS CONFIRMATION DELAYED BY NEW CHARGES
FILED AGAINST HIM.
In the last executive session of the Senate
Mr.. Harris moved to remove the Injunction of
secrecy from the ease of Gen. Rosecrans nomi-
mated for register of the Treasury. He called
attention to the fact that the nomination had
been confirmed, but before the confirmation was
certified a motion to recommit was made by
Mr.. Morrill,, who said new charges had been
filed.
MIR. Harris said the finance committee care
fully investigated a lot OF charges and found
them all groundess, after which favorable
report was made. He characterized the delay
as trifiing with an honorable reputation.
Mr.. Morrill, defended his action, and said that
in view of the new charges the fullest inquiry
should be made, in justice to Gen. Rosecrans
himself. H2NE
Mr. Harris motion was not agreed to.
The friends of Gen. Rosecrans assert that the
charges against him have been trumpet up by
several dismissed employees of the registers
office, who took that method of revenge.
Gen. ROsecrans himself told STAR reporter
that he had never spoken to Senator about
his case, and did not even know its status He
was not disturb ed by any charges, for he knew
they were without foundation. He referred to
some suit out west in which his name was con-
nected with others in some allegation of i'm
proper conduct, but said the result indicated
him. He knew, he said, the origin and animus
OF the present charges and paid no attention to
them,
