The Sun says: at Is not improper to
say the Republican fight against Mr..
Lamar has been laughing piece Of bust
meas from the beginning"
The TimsS says: "The prompt confrma-
ton OF the nomination Of Mr.. Lamar as
Justice Of the Supreme Court 90 coon aa

q severe blow to the petty politicians who
have been trying to revive the war feel
ing in connection with this appointment.
The position OF the little clique Of self
appointed Republican leaders has been
attacked from every aide. It is very
earnestly to be hoped that the party will
take lesson from this experience and
that the men who have ignominiously
failed In an attempt 30 mischievous will
be shorn Of some Of their influence and
compelled to give place to Others Of more
sense and with a more decent standard Of
conduct"

BAIrrxoRE, Nd, Jan. 1.-THE Flnanc,
Committee of the Baltimore & Ohio heli
q meeting yesterday to confer with Presi
dent Spencer upon the financial condition
Of the corporation. Although called fol
10 O'Clock, the members were delayed
until nearly II o'clock for q quorum.
The committee discussed the financial
affairs between the company and the syn,
dictate. They are anxious that there
shall be no strain, because the
stockholders failed to vote for the
third preferred stock. The company
owes the syndicate nearly Ave millions Of
dollars, aud the syndicate holds the United
States Express aud Western Union Tele-
graph stock as security. The loan does
fall due until late in the summer or in the
fall, and the company has the option to
pay 1t of and draw down the collaterals
before that time II it sees ft and is able.
This, from the present outlook, can be
done, and possibly will be done, in two
payments. Money Is much easier now,
and there Is not the same oppoaition to
the company as when every corporate In.
terest In the United States was leagued
against 1t under the command Of Jay
Gould.
