He has not yet been advised when he will be expected to take his departure for his new post, and his formal leave-taking fe the President will be postponed until that ume. THE NEW SUPREME JUDGE,—All the justices of the Supreme Court now in Washington called on Hon. Stanley Matthews at the Riggs House last evening, to congratulate him on is confirmation to be one of their number. Residents of Washington feel pleasure in wel- coming him and his family here as permanent residents. His being confirmed by only one vote is not without favorable precedents. The same was true of Chief Justice Taney and Justice Clifford.

Knowing that Senator Johnston, his democratic colleague, was for Matthews, he absentea himself from ‘the Sen- ate chamber yesterday pending the vote on the confirmation of Matthews for the Supreme. bench. He hopes to help his cause In Virginia at the coming election by charging Mr. Johr- ston and the southern democratic Senators generally with having supported Matthews, a known railroad lawyer, fora judge of the Su- reme Court.” The same Senator said that in ig opinion the vote of a large majority of democratic Senators for Matthews would do the democratic party much harm in the west.

They like to take long rambles into the country, clad in sul‘able Costumes, to ride horseback, or play at Jawn tennis with their companions, and can Indulge these simple tastes for healthful recre- ations with more freedom here than would be possible 'n most cities even in the United States Without being made conspicuous, and cer- tainly more than would be admissible in a European capital, where social position im- poses insurmountable restraints, Sir Edward and Lady Thornton have been very hospitable during thelr residence here, entertaining ire- quenty and generously. Above all, they nave taken great interest in local charities, giviog to many with lavish hands, Sir Edward has been, by virtue of length of residence here at the head of the diplomatic corps, as {t dean for several years, The date for their departure is not yet fixed, and they may be detained tn this country through the summer.

Stanley Matthews Confirmed, ‘HE GETS A MAJORITY OF ONE IN THE SENATE— A SIMILAR CASE IN IS5S, WHEN JUSTICE CLIF- FORD ESCAPED REJECTION BY ONE DECIDE vorE. Mr, Stanley Matthews was yesterday con- firmed as Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court by a majority of one, the vote being 24 ayes to 23 nays. When the vote was first an- nounced it was 24t0 22, but it appears that a Senator who was paired, but not on the peni- iog question, voted “no,” thus reducing Mi Matthews’ majority to one. While Mr. thews and his friends were disappointed at the result they could get some consolation from the fact erjaae Lge not be ed aly supreme judge who escaped ress ion by a ay vote. In 1858, ice = Clifford of le, Was confirmed by the same narrow majority. The southern Senators fought him on the slavery question, although he was a ocrat, Which accounts for slim major- ity. Five democratic Senators who were con- fidently counted upon by Mr. Matthews’ friends Yoted against him, and it way this chan, which so reduced the estimated majority in hi favor. Mr Matthews was congratulated by telegraph from all parts of the country last night, Some of the votes cast against Mr. Matthews were solely upon the ground that he is not a resident of the circuit to which he will be assigned. NO RECONSIDERATION. ‘The close vote on the confirmation of Mat- thews gave rise to reports that a motion would be entered to-day to reconsider the action of yesterday. It is known that some of the most active opponents of Mr. Matthews have made some efforts to bring about a recon sideration. It appears that Senator Anthony, who was Spares confirmation, was absent from the chamter when the vote was taken and did not get to'vote. It was argued by some that he ought to have @ chance to vote, but on the Other hand it has been stated that if the fight was renewed Matthews would get more votes than he did yesterday. In the executive session Ubis afternoon no be 3 was taken in the direc- ton of reconsideration and this clinches the Matter. 1t cannot be done hereafter; therefore ‘Mr. Matthews may be greeted as an associate justice of the U. 8, Supreme bench.

To the Editor of The Star:—I am the subject of An editorial in this morning’s Repwdlican, sug- gested by and referring to a communication, over my name, in nes Mr. Buaine, fs an unalgnifiod is an ui attempt to belittle the President, and a cow- thrust at Mr. Blaine, who 1s not in post- tion to respond; (3) that Gen. Garfield did not suggest or plan the New York conference last summer, as c! ed in the Heraid article,but Mr. Conkling’s friends did; that Gen. Garfield oaly consented to attend when convinced that Conkling was contemplating treachery, and did attend to thwart and stamp out that treach- ery; (4) that assuming the c! about prom- ises and pledges to be true, it proves the sel- fisbness and contemplated treachery of Conk- ling aud company—its a confession on thelr owl part of a Daser nature and meaner and more selfish conduct than they charge on the President. Now, what has the Republican to answer? That I am a ‘diminutive person;’ that I satin an arm Chair on the platform at the Chicago convention; that I thrust myself onte Gen. Garfield to his annoyance? and dls- gust at New York, (which is a lie;) that Garfield could not stop me from wilting letters in his name, (another lte—I_ never wrote a in Gen. Gai field’s name in my life. I wrote the letters and he signed them himself;) that { was onty al- lowed to write acknowledgments of receipts of letters of congratulations, (Another Ite—I opened,read and answered all classes of letters,) nally “Mr. Nichol is a professional. houest-money man.” Wahat has my size to do with this controversy. 1 ain’t as large as David Davis nor as “diminutive” as Mahone.

Iam 5 feet 7 inches high and weigh 132 pounds. As to the items that I have marked lies above, they are simply, and in plain Saxon, lies, What chance had Mr. Gorham (or the writer of this article, Whoever he may be,) to know what my tustruc- tions from Gen. Garfield were while I acted as one of his secretaries, or .ow I carried out those instructions? Yet he pretends to tell just as though he did know and was telling the trutl and tells a story that everybody who was about the Mentor premieres last summer knows [0 be false. As to the concluding sneer at meas “a professional honest-money man,” I guess I can Stand by my part in the currency usslon as Well as Mr. Gorham can his. I advocated re- sumption—he didn't. My side won—uls didn’t. But all this has nothing to do with the real matter at issue. A contest is going on in which the public is greatly interested, and In which the President and Senator Conkitng are ‘the persons in which the public 1s interested. Gorham and me the people care nothing about. In the progress of this controversy a long, care- tully written, but false and scurrilous article bas on im the interest of Mr. Conkling’s sice, charging the President with “wriggling,” with “imbeciity” and “treachery.” Part of the Statements given in support of this charge I KLow of own personal knowledge to be ‘alee, and I also know that the real facts show fe have 1d gi fel of the and given a feretaste su ports of that theory. ‘Will Mr. Gorham: please confine ‘to the argument of this interest- ing proposition in future, and let compara- — Ashes questions, such as my size, more: Why are there not some ru- mors in the air of man or Gen.
