IN THE SENATE.
Senator Daniel Objected to His Criticism oI
Lee. Confirmed by Vote of
33 10 IS.

Washington, u. c., Jan. 22.-The Sen

cause of the objection made then by
Senator Vest, who today opposed con
firnlati in Il sharp and vigorous
speech. He was followed on the same
side Of the argument by Senator's Dan
iel, Berry and Cutlery.
The opposition was based upon the
general ground of General IlongstTeet's
connection with the kellogg Yarmouth
faction in politics in Louisiana, in the
reconstruction days of that State. Mr.
Caffery was especially jealous in his
opposition, saying that General Long
street had in those days antagOnized the
hest interests of his State, and that fot
this reason he was opposed to lam now.
He held that the GeenraPs position al
that time ins1icated want of judgment
which would render him incapable of fill
ing so important u position as that OF
Railroad Commissioner.
Senator Daniel, while coincidinc
with these views, also expressed Oppo
sition to General Longstreet, because
of his criticism of General Lee in his
book on the war. He did not go into de
tails, but said that he could not on his
capacity as an advisor to the President
