Close Call for Rosecrans.
WASHINGTON, January 13th.-The Senate
Committee on Finance to-day decided to re-
port favorably upon the nominations of all
the Treasury officials with the exception of
Fourth Auditor. There were objections
filed against Rosecrans and Third Auditor
Williams, but they were not considered
sufficient TO warrant the rejection of their
nominations. Rosecrans was the object of
the most serious attack. there being nnmer-
Gus charges against him. He probably
would have been rejected but for the fact of
his army record. 1t was not thought best
to report adversely upon Union soldiers.
