Below we give a few extracts from leading newspapers of the United states upon the confirmation of Mi Lamar:
 The Tribuno exceedingly regrets this action. not because Ar. Lamar was l rehel but because he still is one, in that he has never accepted unelaiFo- callv the results of the late war as fnsl and irreeocable settlement of tlie ouestions involved. Ills gi.fiiscs.t!oi 2 of Jeff Davis, whose piids and boast is that he has never acluieseed m any snch conclusions. IS proof t.i&t Mf. La- mars opinions are subject to reserya- tions and qualifications that never ought to find q place in tha judgment Inf man who may at any time be calleJ upon to pass on these great nuestious of constitutional construe- tion.-Detroil Tribune, Rep.
 Little ground now remains for the South to win back in order to regain All it's lost prestige and posts of honor and emolnment. The army and navy will doubtless soon be attacked by the Democrats in behalf of ex-confederate officers. and if the assault succeeds everything will be captured. The con tirnltion of Lamar will hasten every project of the kind, and in this way, as in many others, 1t will prove mistake Iittla short Of a efime.-Ciefe4ana Leader, Rer.
 Ty as much as they may these Re N -n senators cannot hids the princip.o expressed in their votes against Mir. Lamar. We prefer tue worst enemy of the peoples Interests, if he be Republican. to the putest ;,ud most learned man, if he Do a Democrat. This miquitOn5 policy should condemn the republican party forever in the eyes of every patriotic Southern man. The Republican party cannot grow in the South because t does nothing worthy of Southern ap- preeiation. It is the enemy of our people. -Rchmond State, Dem.
 There were found three Republican sanatogs who refused tD bow the knee to the Baal of sectional prejudice. They now stand before the country in il very favorable light as compared with their brother Republican seiia- tors. They hare shown themselves to be capable of doing justice to the good qualities of a political opponent, and of realizing that this is now one eoal- try.-MObde Register, Dem.
 There is little or no reason to doubt tbat Afr. Lamar could have been de feated had he been honestly attacked; but the attack on him was neither honest nor digniIied, xnt so It comes to nothing as regards the main point while making it harder than ever Tor Republicans who believe in thelr party and it's principles, and who desire Us success in the future, to see anythin hopeful in the outlook. Telegraph, Ind.
 It behooyes the Democrats to keep up vigorous battle until the lasi vestige of seetionalsm Is driven from the Senate. No deference whatever should be paid to Republican prejadices, no apologies or even explanations offered, and the position should be taken that the Southern States stand in no different relation to the Federal Government from any other portion ot the Union. 1t has been demonstrated in the Lamar case that this is the cor rect position and that it can be taken successfully with advantage. Kew Orleans Times Democrat, Dem.
 The confederate brigadicrs have now had everything except the presl- dency, and that office they control as much as if one of their number had It. Ohio State Journal, Rep.
 The negative votes of the Repu5li- can senators will be looked upon Wlth wonder and disgust ten years from to- day.-Augusta, Ga, Chronicle, Dem.
 The sole objection of the republican press seems to be embodied in the fact that MT. Lamar is & Southemer.
 Now the fact of the matter is that this republican party has no other bed to fall back on. If they had another issue we would certainly be surprised to read these articles. But sectiops,- ism is their eternal howl, and it is plain enough that this is ss the straw to drowning man. Their power is rapidly diminishing. The negroes are joining the ranks of democracy. Slowly, that is true-but nevertheless surely. Nearly all independents are siding with democracy.
 The South is just as loyal as the North. Why are Northern men eligi- ble to the national offices to the exclu- sion of Southern men? Why are Southern men ineligibleg Is it simply because they live in the South and be- cause they fought for their principles twenty years ago, the same as they would fight to-day for the principles Of the union? We say, if they had not have done so, then surely they would be ineligible.
 During twenty years since the close of the great civil war the South has been rapidly filling with Northern men, and to-day there are nearly as many born northerners in the south as there are southerners. Those who come south and live among soatherners are the best judges of their loyalty. The bowling republicans of the north howl through ignorance. They have never been in the Garden of Eden, and the base of their political preferences IS made from events of the dead past twenty years.
