The following were the confirma- tions: Wm. H Scruggs, of Georeia, to be consul at Panama, and Paymas- ter Jno. A. Stevenson, to be pay in- spector in the nayy, The session was protracted in discussion of Stevenson’s nomination, The naval committee presénted an adverse report, Mr. Voorhees opposed ih a strone speech, and the vote was about 2 to 1 on con- firmatisn. PROCEEDIN THE HOUSE, The speaker anmounced as the house committee on woman suffrage, Messrs. . Camp, . White, Sherwin, Stone, Hepburn, . Springer, Vance, Muldrow and Stockalager. The army approi on bill, appro- priating $29,000, passed. It con- tains a clause mukin® retirement at the age of 62 compulsory, and one transferring the Lee raid claims from the war department to the court of claims. The bill to establish a mint at St. Louis was favorably reported. Mr. Haskell called up the anti- polygamy bill. The @émocrats claimed it should go to the cgfnmittee of the whole. Tha spen ecided the hill neéd not go to the Bommittee, and was in order for !ruem considera- tion. ik Mr. Haskell moved the previous question, This was opposed hy the democrats, who desired to offer amendments. This was at 4:30. Mr. Haskell pressed the :aotion, and the democrats resorted to fili- bustering, = refraining from voting, demanding roll call on every vote, ete, The republicins wanted the bill passed as reported, desiring 10 get: the credit of its passage as a re- "publican, measure, the democrats de- siring to amend and make it stronger, and so get credit for the bill. Fili- bustering continued until 6:50 p. m., when the house by unanimous vote took a ‘recess until 11:30 a. m. to- morrow. THE JUSTICESHIP, Natlanal Amaciated Press, LETTERS OF CONKLING AND BDMUNDS. Wasnixaroy, D. €., March 13 The president gives“for publication the following letters of declination by Conkling and Edmunds. From this it will appear that the published ru- mor that the premdent had heard nothing from Conkling 8 weck ago Sunday was erroncous. It m be authentically stated that the president never authorized such a statement, and in fact he had no such conversa tion with any one about it: £W York, March 3, 1852, Mr, President; Absence prevented prompt acknowl dge- ment of your two esteemed letters, which ware found here awaiting my return from Utica, The high and uaexpected henor yon priffe-, by sleciing me as justice of the supreme courtof th wtes is greatly valued.

Natlonal Assoclated Press SeriNorrerp, March 13, - A report will be issued to-morrow from the T1- linois deparfment of agrculture, showing the meat . »puct of the etate for a term of year * ~luding 1881, In tho latter year the value of fat cat- tle, fat hogs and shes p marketed was about £49,000,000. The number of fat cattle marketed last year was groater than for any preceeding year oxcept 1880, but’ the average weight, 1,129 pounds, was leas ih~n for any ono of the preceding “nin years, The number of hogs marke'ed was about 600,000 less than fér 1880, and the average weight, 241 po .ds, was one pound less th ° fu. uhat year The average price, &5 256 per 100 pounds gross, was greater th'n the average price for either of the four years last preceding. There have been eleven years since 1864, in which the value of fat hogs in Illinois has exceeded that for 1881. The value of sheep in Illinois has only been exceeded once since 1870, and the entire rumber of sheep in the state 1,088,000 is greater than in any year since 1873, e A —e Electrioc Briefs National Associated Pross.

The “Trupes” in Lincoln-—-Goe- sip on the Situatio .- Star Routes. Correspondenco of T Baw Lixcory, March 13. - Lincoln peo- ple view with considerable complacon- cy the manner in which Omaha is tear- ing her hair and rending her nether garments over the alleged riots in that city. The capital can well afford to make merry overother places that are afflicred in this manner for the reason that there is never going tc bo the slightest danger of anything of the kind occurring here. Where is the remotest danger that Lincoln will ever be the seat of manufacturing indus- tries sufficient to turn out even a cor- poral's guard of ridters? Thore has been much interest expressod, how- ever, in Omaha's tribulation, During the first two or three days of trouble thero, the superior oftic rain our state militiawere kept buay with rushing between the telegraph offics and the iatate house. Adjutant General Alex- ander, Assistant Adjutant Genoral Roggen, Colonel Colby and other titled heroes kept bobbing up so nu- merously that the very atmosphere seemed permeated with the odor of carnage, When the final dread sum- mons came and the callow troops were huatled off tor the front, there was really a foeling of despondency ahout town lest, perchance, some of them might not return, Not that there was felt to be any serious danger from the rioters, but the effec's of a taste of Omaha budge and a sight of the metropolitan ele- phant were too well known. The veracious correspondent sent up by The State Journal sends down the blood curdling intellige;ce that the sacking ot banks and newspaper offi- ces was a portion of the programme. Seriously, the course of Tme,Bxe is looked upon here as by all means the most conservative and proper one to pursue. The attempts of the other papers to abase the strikers, and over- estimate their power and intentions, seem like adding additional fuel to the troubles,. Mayor Boyd has shown himself unexpectedly weak when called upon to face an emergency. Even our own Wright would have faced the music better than Boyd, and would have secured an endorse- ment from the Methodist church af- terwards for doing so. When it comes to a question of statesmanship in the mayoralty, Wright can give the world odds. It was suggested here- abouts that Aloxander was only too glad that the opportunity arose to al- low him to spread himself a httle just at this juncture, Tt might lead to a bracing up of his gubernatorial hoom if he can satisfactorily show to the law loving citizens of this state that he cannot be monkeyed with, Recard- ing the matter of the strike, itisa pity, as Tie Bee says, that Touzalin was not in charee when this question arose. The broad, liberal policy which characterized the management of the road under his administration is ot going to bo earriod out by his successor. 1f a littls policy had boen used at the outset by railroad officials the trouble would have been checked. Motions huve been filed i the so- called ‘“‘star route" cakes by defend- ants’ counsel to quash the indictment againgt Clary, also a plea in abate- ment as regards Corbin and Tddings and a plea of misnomer as recards Corbin, Judging from the at'itude taken by Judee Dundy in ti,e past in connection with these cases, it is n probable that the status of the 1 ter will be altered before the defond- ants apperr for trial. Mr. Lambert- son and Mr. Wehster are both deier- mined that a conviction shall follow their efforts, but they have got to travel at a faster gait than they did here in the same case or they will get badly left.

Natlonal Amociated Pross, Nasuviuue, Tenn.,, March 13— Captain James M, Davis, special dep- uty United Statos marshal, was am bushed, shot and killed about two miles from MoMunyill, whiloe out on a raid on moonshiners. He was fired usmn from the bushes. Tom Vickers, who was riding by his side, made hasty flight. Davis fell from his ‘horse at the first shot, but rose and started back toward his other men, Campbell and Catheart, who were sev. eral hundred yards behind. Da was then shot down again by con- cealed parties. Campbell and Cath cart came up, and saw several men come to the roadside and fire upon Davis, with pistols close to his head. Ihey fired one sh 't each at the party, but seeing that Davis was dead, and that the contending . forco was too large for them, they retreated and made their way to town. The coro- ner, upon being notified, summoned a jury and went out afier the body. His head and skull were literally shot to pivces, and twonty odd holes ave i the body besides those in the head. An entire load from a shot gun was fired into the left shoulder, the wad being in the shoulder. Davis tired three shots without ef- tect before he was killed. The par- ties had evidently been in ambush some time, as a rude fortification of logs was thrown up, and the twigs to the road cut away. Davis was a very eflivient officer and & terror to moon- shiners and other violators of the law, He was brave to recklessness, and his many bloody affrays gained for him the reputation of being almost without feeling in shedding human blood. Asa Tennessean he seemed to take pleasuro in hunting down his followe, aud has more than a half dozen lives to answer for, many, it is claimed, being unprovoked murders. He has been under indictment for murder & number of times, but al- ways managed to evade punishment by having his casea transferred to the Jniled gm»- coutt, He has been written upin Harper’s Weekly in ro- mantic style, and had a national rep- utaiion.
