NINETY-SEVEN EXPIRED AND THREE REJECTED. Ninety-seven of the nominations sent to the Senate during the session adjourned last Fri- day, failed of confirmation, and three were re- jected. THOSE REJECTED were Robert M. Wallace and John B. Stickney to be U. 8, district attorneys for South Carolina and the northern district of Florida, respec- tively; Robert H. Trego for postmaster at Sid- ney, Obio. The first wo were rejected on the allegation that they had used their positions as U.S. attorneys, (each having held one term) for partisan purposes; that they had employed their authority to harrass and persecute demo- crate, and that the men were in fact unfit for the positions by reagon of their ultra partisan- sbip: Trego, as the editor of a republican paper during the last political canvass, sailed Into the democratic candidate for Congress in his district pretty savagely. This candidate made the rejection of Tregoa personal matter with the two democratic senators from Onto and this opposition according to *the “courtesy of the Senate” sealed the fate oitthe journalistic aspirant for a postofiice, STANLEY MATTHEWS AND E. C. BILLINGS. Of the nominations that were permitted to die by non-actuon, the two leading ones—Stan- ley Matthews for U.S. Supreme Judge and E. ©. Billings for U. 8, Ctreutt Judge—have become “celebrated cases.” While thelr chances for judicial honors were wrapped in the secrecy of Ube Senate judiciary committee, which enjoys the reputation of never, or to amend, ‘hardly ever,” leaking {ts secrets, the names of these two gentlemen furnished themes for huadreas of columns of newspaper comment, criticism and speculation, OTHER IMPORTANT NOMINATIONS WHICH FAILED were: A. M. Bryson, A, W. Tenney and Elliott F. Shepard to be U. 8. district attorneys for Idaho and the eastern and southern New York districts, respectively; G. W. Atkinson and John W. Jacobus for’U. S.

H.Van- derbilt, was the nommation sent. tn for United ‘Slates district atlorney of New York city, when Forster Was withdrawn. Shepard was pat down as a Conkling man, and the report was that the nomination was made to appease the New York Senator. Jacobus, for marshal ot New York, was an anti-Conkling man, Wm. H Haskell, for postmaster at Albany, Is the man against whom Senator Conkling began his fight by raising the question of the date when is term of office shontd begin. Ont of this ap- parently harmless lulé question the political grave of Haskell Was Guy. Clung’s defeat scores & VICTORY FOR “GOV. TOM” YOUNG, P93 the boys—" of whom he is one or whtch”— delight to call him. In the late campaign it appears that the two republican Cougressinca | from Obio pertuitted their ambiuoa to bring them into coijlision in some way. There was some talk of government favors and political assessments being movopolized by the frst dis Uict, while the * :overnor” was left to fight his hard battle witout such favors. “Gov. Tom” Won the fight. ‘ut b's “iris” wasup, and he determined to =\juare accounts with some of the government o:\\vials who Were so partial to the Hrst district of Cincinnati and so {indifferent to the second. McClung was alleged to be one ot the faithtul of the first district, and in due time Cincinnati. Some of the second district chaps insisted that the nomination was McUlung’s re- ward for valuable service rendered to the rep- resentative from the first district. Gov. You: Went Into the democratic Senate fully equip, for Wer and he emerged with the scalp of the objectionable nominee dangling at his belt. How the “Governor” managed to acquire so much influence over the democratic majority 1s, perhaps, one of the executive secrots; but he e the scalp and that was what he went for. It 1s due to many of the gentlemen who fatled of confirmation to say that it was not because of anything alleged against them. They, un- fortunately, happened to be in company with nominations that were bitterly contested, and in order to defeat the latter unobjectionable gentlemen fell by the wayside. ‘THE CROWD aT THE WHITE HovsE to-day was smaller than yesterday, but there were Plepty of people there. President Garfield re- celved many of them, but shut them off at 12 o'clock, when the Cabinet went into session. ‘The crowd that wanted to get in were kept out with some difficulty. No crowding up stairs Was allowed though the President’s office was filled from 10 to 12. Those admitted sat around: the room in chairs and upon the sofas, wail ‘thelr turn for an attack upon the president ear. AS SOO a8 one man got through there Was another ready to take his place. Gov. Head, of New Hampshire, called with his staff, and they were received in a body. and ge \y delegation of ladies and tiemen from Ala- bama also called. With these exceptions and the reception of the Woman’s Temperance Union, which took place in the East room, De 1g like a delegation was seen at the White A large number of those who were ad- D. C. Talk About the Offices. WHO ARE AFTER THEM AND WHAT THEIR CHANCES ARB. General Charles Grosvenor, of Ohio, is an applicant for the solicitor general's position in pee copereneny of justice, now held by Mr. S. The, rumor is abroad that a Pennsylvania man ts to succeed Assistant Secretary of the Treasury French, but his name, as yet, 1s kept @ profound secret. A Sak representative yesterday asked an Indi- ana Congressman what ex-Congressman John Peter Cleaver Shanks was after. thing,” was the reply. thing’ from a cabinet position to an Indian agency. He Is willing to scale down.” The sentiment of northwestern Congressmen 1s in favor of Hon. Emory Cobb, of Ill., for Com- missioner of Agriculture, It is understood that President Garfleld, after conference yesterday with Attorney General MacVeach and Secretary Blaine, decided to re- nominate ex-Senator Stanley Matthews for the Supreme Court vacancy. The nomination wiil be sent to the Senate in a day or two. Mr. Edward McPherson denies that he is an applicant for the First Assistant Postmaster Generalship. The names now prominent for the place are Postmaster Chauncey J. Filey, Of St. Louis, and U. S. Marshal Russell, of North Carolina. Ex-Treasurer New told a Star representative that “he was not a candidate for the English or aby other mission; that he wanted no oftice within the gift of the tadmintstration, and he didn’t want to be considered a sorehead either.” It has been definitely decided to appoint Mr. Wm. E. Chandler Solicitor General of the De- partment of Justice, His name will be sent to the Senate before the special session is over. Although Judge Tyner ts to be relieved as First Assistant Postmaster General, he 1s to be given a better place, rumor says, abroad. Gen, John A, Bingham, of Obto, will not be disturbed as Minister to Japan, = Third Assistant Postmaster General Fazen ‘will probably be retained. Gen. Logan will make a determined effort ko secure the removal of Commissioner of Pensions Bently. Mr, Archibald Campbell, of W. Va., will be given an Important foreign mission if he de- sires to go abroad, Congressman Calkins was recommended for a Cabinet position by the Indiana delegation be- cause Gen, Garfield sald he wanted a voluntee! Soldier in the Cabinet. The only officer of the army in the Cabinet is Secretary Lincoln, who, for & period, was on Gen. Grant's staff. Ex-Attorney General Devens will be given a place abroad. So say, at least, bis friends, According to the talk of Sayles J. Bowen's Mriends, he is to be Assistant Postmaster Gen- era In case Fred Douglass ts displaced as District marshal he is to be provided for as Minister to Braz, it is said. S. R, Bond ts a candidate for the District re- corderehip of wills, held by Maj. Webster. Col. Jas, R. O'Belrne 1s spoken of in connec- tion with the District marshalship. Major Richards 1s also sald to be an applt- cant for the U. S. marshalship of the District. Commissioner Le Due will have to go, itis understood. There are many competitors for the place, but Dr. Loring, of Massachusets, a gentleman farmer, who makes addresses at all the agricultural fairs, and Dr. Kelton, of Georgia, lead in the race, Dr. Felton, in addl- tion to being a preacher and a physician, is, he says himeelf, a tarmer by profession and prac tice. He has represented the agriculturists of the country In the ways and means committee, aud has, on the floor at various times, acted as the mouthpiece of the farmers, He is backed by his independent colleagues from Georgia, and by many members on both sidesof the House, and feels quite confident of receiving the komination from Mr. Garfield, his persona’ friend. Dr. Loring 1s quietly coniident that he will be chosen by the President. Gen. Judson Kilpatrick, ot New Jersey, it 15 sald, desires a bureau appointmont in one ot the executive departments. Despite the rumor that there will be no change among the District Commisstonera, a Congressman from Ohio and another trom Rhode Island, have already notified President Garfield of what they deem the inefficiency of some of the present incumbents. The departure of Attorney General McVeagh for Philadelphia, who will not return untii Thursday, has temporarily paralyzed the a: ity of scores of applicants for U. S. attorni Positions fn all sections of the country. A. E. Wilson, esq., who was chtet clerk of the Treasury department under Secretary Bristow, | Isap aepicant for the position of U.S. attor- ney for Kentucky. He ts backed by Justice Harlan, of the Supreme Court, but rumor has {t that the place has already been set aside for another applicant. The Indiana republican congressional delega- | tion met at 1 o'clock to-day and unanimously -agreed to make the following recommendations for the appointments hereinafter named: John C, New, to be Assistant Secretary of the Treas- ury; Jonathan W. Gordon, to fill the vacancy in the Court of Claims bench; U, 8. Marshal Dudley, to be Commissioner of Patents. As In- diana did much tn the campaign and has yet recelved but little these recommendations are expected to have weight. Col. George B. McCartee Is here to get his old Place back as Chief of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Last night when President Garfield was being bored to death for his autograph, Editor Bick- bam, of Dayton, told him hé could escape a deal of trouble if he would only send for Morey todo ‘that class of work for him. ‘The friends of Orange Judd, the well-known editor of the American Agrieniturist, are mak- ing active efforts to secure his appointment as Commissioner of Agriculture, It is ur; in bis behalf that while having a broad, thorough, general education, as well as a specific one in agricultural science, he, more than any other one man, fully understands, represents, and can ald the agriculture of the whole country. The members of the Towpath Club, if they are expecting much, are making an exceeding sull hunt. ‘There are applicants on hand for Gen. Geo. Sheridan's place as recorder. It is sata to-day that Sheridan may be otherwise provided for and @ well-known newspaper man get his present place. Don. Pardee, of Louisiana, is here to get the judgeship to which Judge Billings, who failed of confirmation, was appointed. It 1s said, by his friends, that T. M. Nichoi, the present chief clerk of the Indian bureau, is to be made Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Ex-Governor Burbank, of Indiana, a brother- in-law of the late Senator Morton, ts here to See that the claims of Indiana are recognized. If he gets a good fat office the griefs of the Hoosiers will in part be assuagad. General John B. Bowman, of Kentucky, who was a Cabinet aspirant, is now an applicant for the commisstonership of internal revenue, The Virginia applicants for office think it a ood card to have upon their papers the en- Sorsement, “Mahone, Virginia.” There are ten applicants for the United States attorney for Kentucky. The office has vacant only two days, through Colonel Wharton's tion. Most of those who ‘want the place are ‘‘Jedges.” General Gabriel Bouck, of Wisconsin, says “this 1s ah—llof amob.” He had reference, of course, to the office seeking crowd. D. W.

All the parlors and east room were open and lighted and the floral souvenirs received during the last few days adorned them. Several of the ladies who have been receiving on Mondays did so yesterday. At the Navy Yard and Marine Barracks there were a num- ber of visitors at the residence of the com- mandant of each. Mrs, McCawiey had a por- uon of the Marine band to enliven her recep- uon.

THE SITUATION AT THE CAPITOL TO-DAY. ‘There were no caucuses held to-day, but the democrats are moving right along tn thelr preparations to organize the Senate. The caucus committee was not ready to report this morulng. They have found the work of ar- ranging the committees tedious, owing to the large number of new Senators whose wishes abd qualifications for the different kinds of committee duty have to be consulted and studied. Then there are cases where one Sen- ator has the right to choose between two com- mittees, and besides there is lively competition for places on such important committees as that on finance, ‘appropriations, judiclary and commerce, Rivalries for such places have to be adjusted. TRE CAUCUS COMMITTEE are confident they will be ready with their re- Port te-morrow, and if so a democratic caucus will be held in the morning. The committee's report will be submitted, and a special commit- tee appointed to inform the republicans of the action taken and request them to arrange the minority representation on the committees. Unless the republicans have pretty good evi- dence that Mahone will not act witn them, they will refuse to be put in the minority aud Publican Senators and then submit their re- Port to theSenate for adoption. The republi- cans, if convinced that they have a fair pros- pect of success In getting ald froi Mahone, ‘Will no doubt fight off a vote on organizaulon, and delay it by fillibustering, if necessary, ‘O- morrow will, in all probability, open up the fight.

TWO CENTS. FORTY-SEVENTH CONGRESS, Special Session the Senate. ‘TUESDAY, March 5, SENATE.—The Senate convened at 12 m., Vice President Arthur in the chair. The galle ries were well filled with spectators,‘and a large number of members of the House occupied Seats upon the floor of the Senate, an impres- ston having gained that the democrats would move to organize the committees. Communications were laid before the Senate m ex Senators Kirkwood ose) and Blaine (Me.), announcing that they had forwarded to the governors of thelr respective states thelr Tesigbations as members of the Senate. On motion of Senator Hoar (Mass) the communi- cations were ordered to be placed on the flies of the Senate. At 12:20 Pp, mM. @ message from the President ‘was announced, and on motion of Senator Bay - ard (Del.) the Senate went into executive se:- sion, When the doors were reopened the Sen- atee, at 12:40 adjourned Ull 12 m. to-morrow. Nominations and Confirmations ‘To-day. The President sent the following nominations to the Senate to-day: Nathan Goff, jr., to be U. 8, attorney for West Virginia; Lewis Rtch- mond, of Khode Island, to be consul general at Kome. U. S. Consuls—John L. Frisble, of Michigan, at Rheims; Phanor M. Eder, of ‘Ne- vada, at Guaygull; Albert Rhodes, of District of Columbia, at Rouen; Edward Backus, of Il- lnols, at Para: Erailio Vourtado, at La Union: dobn A. Haldermen, of Kansas, at Bankok: Abbot L. Dow, at Aleppy, India; John F. Jeune. of New Jersey, at Nueva Laredo. The Senate. in executive session, confirmed the nomina: lions of Messrs. Goff, Richmond and Frisbie, and left the others on the table for future ac: on. John L. Frisbie to be consul at Rhelms and Lewis Kichmond to be consul at Rome were nominations that were made by President Hayes, ahd though favorably reported trom committees were not acted on. About an Extra Session. THE PROBABILITIES AGAINST ONE. The talk of an extra session of Congress does not originate with those to whom such a qui ton would certainly be submitted, Only yes. terday Congressraan-elect Robinson, of Ohio, at luncheon with the President, had a talk with him on general matters of public policy, tnclud- ing the call of an extra session. Certainly yes- terday the President had not contemplated the Call of & special session and he Is adverse to one being called. ‘The agitation of the question arises, no doubt, because of the fact that the democrats of the Senate have decided to go ahead and reorgan. ive the committees while tne republicans will delay the make up cf such committees by re- fusing to arrange for minority representation upon them. By these tactics the republicans in the end will secure the organization of the Senate In both its officers and committees. The Senaie is a perpetual body and can be Teor. tes at any time by a majority of tts votes. Hence, If the democrats organize the body now. there will be no dificuity tn the repubit- cans reorganizing when the several seats are filled. 1i the democrats can force an adjourn- ment Of tbe special session of the Senate before the republicans have their vacancies filled, they Wili maintain control of the Senate until next winter, but if before the adjournment suc- cessors are elected to Messrs. Blaine, Kirkwood, Windom and Carpenter, the republicans will proceed to reorganize the Senate. So far as the House ts concerned there 1s no disposition on the part of the republicans to sectre control Ubu! bext winter. Indeed tt would be a stroke of bad policy on their part tq secure a special session. The majority by which they have the ext House is but a slim one, and there will be vacancies In the seats of Messrs. Conger, Haw- ley, Mitchell, Frye and Morton. Until these vacancies are filled 1t would be a serious ques- Uon If the republicans have the power to organ- ize the House for a want of votes. As to the failure of the refunding bill necesst- tating an extra session, the opinions are some- what Civersitied. Many of the leading republi- cans think the Secretary of the Treasury can Mabage matters until next winter. The debi which ts about maturing ts not of necessity Dound to be paid. The time, of course, is near at hand when the goyernment has the option to pay, but it may or may not pay. It 1s not bound to do it. its option to pay has merely rclied around. The Secretary of the Treasury has over one hundred million of four per cents which can be used for refunding, and the sur plus revenues of the government are such that a goodly portion of the debt can be absolutely redeemed until the next Congress makes fur- ther provision. Congressman Blackburn thinks an extra ses- sion is coming, aud so does Senator Beck and others, Diligent inquiry reveals the fact tha: While the democrats apprenend a special ses sion 1s coming, leading republicans oppose it. here does not, therefore, appear to be any real disposition on either side to have an extra session, TALK AMONG SENATORS TO-DAY. ‘There was a great deal of talk among the re- Publican Senators to-day of an extra session of Congress. Kepubiicans who recently were op- posed to al extra session now proclaim them- selves in favor of it, if the democrats persist in compelling an organization of rhe Senate be- fore the vacancies are filled. Several promi- bent republican Senators stated to-day quite positively that if the democrats organize the Senate now an extra session of Congress will be called on the 15th of May. Republican mem- bers of Congress in squads are urging thisaction upon the President. The democrats say this isa “bluff” to drive then from their purpose of immediate organization; but that they Lave nO reason or policy in objecting to an extra be especially session. ‘The call, if issued, will to pass a funding bill.

Uncertainty and Doubu New You, March 8.—The Post Anau cle ‘says:—The buoyant feeling wi made its appearance at the stock exchanse when the rerunding bill was vetood, and wale was augmented by the appointment of Mr. Windom as Secretary of Une Treasury, has given place to a feeling of uncertainiy and | doubt. | ‘The reason for tuis change ts two-fold. In the first flush of the defeat of ihe refunding bill, Wail street only regarded It as the removal of an impending danger, which had worked contraction up to that Ume, and whica would do $0 ho More. Satisfaction At this overlooked the fact that all stocks and bonds which ylelded regular Income had been advanced immensely since last October because, among other rea~ sons, no one of which was more important, the refunding of 600 and odd millions of the pubtic debt would, it was reasonably expected, drive a great deal of themoney now In the U. 8.5 and 6 per cents into raliroad securities. Of course the defeat of the refunding blll will ieave the | money already tn U. 5. 5s. and 63 where It Is, except to the extent that the new Secretary of the Treasury decides to use coin in the Treas- ury to buy these bonds, and this brings | up the second part of ine reason noted. At first Mr. Windom’s appolntment’ was re- garded as meaniug expansion, bis record in Congress having stamped bim'as an anti-re- sumpUionist, and if not an ardent sllverite at least a5 One who permitted poiltical considera- tons to Induce him to vole for remouetizatton of silver at a mosi untimely moment. This Was the first tmpression which Wall sireet re- ceived from Mr. Windom'’s appolutment, and the stock exchange brokers aud speculators felt confident of a new boom as the result of having a fancier with such —predilec- tions “at the bead of the ‘Treasury. Second thought bere again ratsed doubts whether President Garfieid with his well Known soundness On financial yestions would nave placed the.Treasury in charge of a man with such a record uniess there had been an understanding tat the policy of the depart- ment should be of the kind to discourage rather than foster wild speculatiou. ‘These doubts having arisen, the actual situation, so far ag the money market Is concerned, agaia comes prominently iuto codsideration.’ It 1s known that the ‘Treasury has now in its vaults not leas than $12,000,000 of lawful money, which two weeks ago were in Dank reserves here and elsewhere. It therefore — be- comes a question of immediate practica! m- portance whether 1t 1s to be speedily turned out by the Treasury. If tt is not, then an ac- tive money market is to be looked for; If it 1s, then such @ money market as we had before the refunding billwas passed by the Senate; if a | large amount ts to be turned out, then an easier money market than couid otherwise have been expected 1s inevitable. Dispatches from | Washington on Saturday sald that the money which the banks had deposited to retire note circulation would be “promptly returned ‘n contravention of the established rule. | Dispatches since say that this will not be done; others tilat it{s doubtful Tne | only other Way of getting this money back into | Dank reserves is by boud purchases. If Secre- tary Windom Will pay the market price for the bonds he can undoubtedly get_an unlimited | amount. If he stands fora price on par and | accrued Interest, which 1s all Ubat Secretary | Sherman felt justified in paying at even a Ubreatening moment for business interests, | then itis not likely that meny bonds will vs offered to the Treasury, at least until money becomes very dear.
