JcDGE Woops’ NOMINATION IN THE SENATE.— Most of the Senate's executive session yester day was occupled fn a discussion of the nomin- ation of Judge Wm. B. Woods, of Georgia, to De Associate Justice of the United States preme Court. The judiciary comraittee reported Javorably, but encountered opposition on the ground that this appointment should have been given to a southern man, and that Judge Weods' nomination, though credited to Georg, was really an additional aud excessive appoint. ment to’ the Supreme bench from Onto, of which state he is a native. Ono the other hand, {t was argued that he las been acitizen and actual resident of Alabama and Georgia the past nd that bis performance of his it judge has been eminently sat~ istactory. At the close of the debate a vote was taken on the question of contirmation,and there were only elght votes recorded against It. A motion to reconsi¢er the confirmation was ea tered, however, and when, after farther discus sion, an attempt was made to eud the matter by bringing this motton toa tinal vote, a call for the yeas and nays disclosed the absence ¢ a quorum, and the Senate thereupon adjourned.

DOUSLE OFFICE-HOLDING.—The appointment of a Secretary of War to discharge the duties of Secretary of the Navy also, is nothing new, but rather a return to Hirst principles.

Judge Black at one time held the com- lnission Of Secretary of State and also that of Attorney General. ‘That was when he was in Buchanan's cabinet. He was not relieved from the later office by Mr. Stanton until December 20th, 1860, and was commissioned Secretary of ‘State on December 17th of that year, so held the two commissions for three days.

THE ELECTORAL COUNT. Mr. Morgan stated his desire to call up ana Speak upon the resolution offered by him on June 15th last, declaring that the President of the Senate ts not invested by the constitution of the United States, with the right to count the votes of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, so as to deter- mine what votes shall be received and counted, or what votes shall be rejected. Mr. Edmunds hoped that the Senator from Alabama would not instst upon taking up this resolution In the last. moments before adjouru- ment, when there was no opportunity for de- bate, and when no quorum was present. Mr. Morgan said it was rare to refuse to a Senator the courtesy of allowing him to speat upon a resolution offered by himself. He re garded the matter as of suiticient importance to Warrant his speaking upon it at this time. Mr. Edmunds sald there was practically no opportunity for debate upon the resolution to- day, in view of the necessity for an executive session to transact business essential to ti: proper ict of tbe government, Mr. Morgan replied that. iis remarks woald be brief, and If any other Senator wished to speak upon the resolution he would not insts on its cousideration to-day, Dut would move its reference to the select committe on the electoral count. Mr. Edmunds refterated his objections, bit did hot further oppose the the resolution. It was theret . and Mr. Morgan spoke in its support. He polnte i tothe obscurity in tue language of the con: tution on this subject, and cited the wel legal principle that in the absence: wording a in the Hight formulated. argumer dent dent 1s by the electors, th: president of the Senate is not entitled to count the votes There was a purpose in separating the functions of the president of the Senate from that of the ovber actors in the matter. ie fs direeted to open une vou them.

HOUSE.—After prayer by the Chapiaio, the Speaker, as fs usual, directed the Clerk to read the Journal of yesterday, whereupon Mr. Bow- man rosé to a question of privilege relativ- to Ube disgraceful proceedings which nad occurred in the House yesterday, ‘The Speaker said that the Chair would preter that the gentleman should wait until the Jour nal should have been read. Mr. Bowman sald that it was on that potn: that he wished the Speaker torule. A rule ot the House stated that members should not by held to answer nor be subject to the censure of the House for anything said in debate, if rurtuer debate or business had intervened. He desired toknow whether the reading of the Journ! could be construed as such titervening bust ness a8 would shut off turther proceedings by t 401 for the gross violation of its diguity. ‘The Speaker sald that the reading of the Jour- nal would take from the House none of tts priv- flege, linmediately after the reading of the Journal Mr. McLane rose, and as a question affecting the dignity of the House, called attention to the scene of disorder which ‘took place on the floor yesterday, and which he characterized as oflen- Sive, derogatory and discreditable to the House as a parliamentary bedy. He called upon the offending members betore any other bi ness Was entered on to relieve themselves that offence by an ample apology. No respon: having been Inade by elther of the memi immediately concerned, Mr. Bowman rose 1 present what he called ‘a substantive propos lion. He spoke of the scene of yesterday as a crime and its ap insult offered to the House, Congress, and (0 the country.

Mr. McLAfe insisted on his question of privi- legs. and offered a resolution requiring the two offending members to apologize to the House. Ip the Course of Mr. McLane’s remarks he recognized that most of the members present yesterday were partly responsible for the scene ot yesterday, Wie ae To that remark Mr. F. Wood (N. Y.) took ex- ce; tion, and said that he had interfered in the discuss{on yesterday and endeavored to confine itto the funding bill. He also characterizea ; the scene as the most shameful exhtbition that had ever taken place on the floor. Mr. McLane concluded his remarks, and sald be would yield to the gentleman from Iowa Mr. Weaver) if he were now willing to make au apolozy. Mr. Haskell objected to that proceeding and declarea that in his opinion the House should rather make an apology to the country than (naving suffered the ajdournment to take place yesterday without taking action) try to cast off its own Shoulders the obloquy that belonged tuere ne oe out two members as scape- oats for its sins. . Mr. Kowman again took the floor, and quoted the remark of Mr. F.

Grant and others inter sted in the property east of the Captol grounds | submitted a plan for the extension of those grolnds beyond ist street east. This plan in- Volved the purchase, by the government, of ail the property fronting on the east side of ist street (the row where the oid Capitol prison stood) to the full width of the Capitol grounds. It would also involve the destruction of ail the handsome residences along that whole front to allow Of the extension of the Capitol grounds Then, Se Grant's plan, proposed the ere: Uon 6f a Norary building in one corner of th new addition to the Capitol grounds and a build. ing for the Supreme Court and law department of the government in the other corner, It WOuld cost, at the lowest estimate, ONE MILLION DOLLARS to purchase the property mentioned. Then in addition would be the cost of tearing down the butidings, removing the material and cutting the ground down to the level of the Capitol grounds. After that would come the expense | of erecting the buildings. Tne committee ap- parently regarded this plan as too expensive, | as they voted 5 to! to locate the library buil ing in Judiciary square, Senator Morrill, the | only member of the committee who voted | against Judiciary square, has all along favored putting the library on present Capitol grounds or So viilarging the Capitol as to make room f: the library. The parties who urge Capt. Gran! scheme take the position that the Capit grounds must be enlarged in the future, a hence that the money expended for the a «quisition of the property east of the Cap!rol, in their plan, must not be counted in the the brary building. On the members of the committe think that the itol grounds are large enough for the pre and the future. THE TACTICS OF THE CAPITOL HILL PARTY. It {s understood that the parties tntere: with Capt. Grant Intend applying for an 11 junction to restrain or forbid the erection of brary on Judiciary square, on the ground th that Square was {ntended for and must maintained ag a park. They hold that the go’ ernment has no right to use ft for buiiding p poses. The jotnt coumtttee were informed that such @ point had been raised, aud at their Tequest Representative Clailin, of Mass., (a | member of the committee,) thoroughly exam- | ined the whole question of the right of erecting | a building on the square. He ascerteined ani reported to the committee that the deed con- | veying the squares constituting what ts known | as Judiciary square, as signed by the original grantors, conveys it “for pubite buildings or | other purposes.” This deed was made in the last century, and fs regularly recorded and signed. Gov. Claflin reported that there is no question of the right to construct a public building on that ground, and thereupon w committee voted almost unanimousiy in fav. of that site, { JUDICIARY SQUARE contains 19% acres. Thé new Mbrary building will occupy, say the committee, about 3 acre, leaving 1 acres for breathing pUrtyoses, Again, the members of the committees and others who have studied the subject insist that such a building as is contemplated will greatly improve the appearances of the square, In Washincton the open spaces—parks, etc.. for breathing purposes—are to the space covered by buildings in the ratio of 3 to 2, being more than double the space reserved from residences or public Dulldings In any otber city of this country, if Dot in the world.
