HRupld progress was, however, made with the uncontested tases, and there were many contirmations, The only important remainiug nomination which excites much opposition Is that of WILLIAM 2 CHANDLE TL to be Solictor-Gioneral, It hud been the pur- puse of Chandler’s opponents, evidently, to sinother hlu in Committee, but that plan was defeated by notica whieh was served upon the Committee from both sides of the Chatnber Jast night, that unless the nano was reported to-day 1 motion would be mado to discharge the Committee of further consideratlon, ‘The Judleiary Committee, which has'been so unsuccessful in inportant things this session, did not care to teculye this final rebuke, Accordingly, Mr. Chandler's name was reported this morning without recommendation, tha Conmittes having been tled, three for and three agulnst, ‘The report fy that the Lsres afirmative votes wore cast by Logan, Ingalls, and MeMilan, and the three negative by Davis of Hlinols, Bayard, and Lantar, but this is not oftictal. ‘The case went over untilto-morrow.
