February SI The Mdat to-day nominn nosco voa Associate Justice of tb United States sjpreme Court, vice Ward Hunt, retired. nomination reached the Senate a boot tto o'clock, and it created a genuine surprise senators, Members, and Indeed every pnoo wbe keeps tbe run of political current iteBts. At six o'clock, when the Senate went into txeeuilve session, th nomluaUon was ois- I Laed.

The question waa asked whether any I little as any gentleman occupying his respon-kBstor could aut with any assurance that aible position can do is to correct, in as broad and the false if. i-onkiinc would accept tbe office. It waa tsaa developed tbat not a single Senator bad mdalpated tbe nomination, but also tbat tbare was no one who eonld give assurances that tt Ex-J ew York Senator would take tbe in SDite of this, however, a motion waf made tbat tbe nomination be confirmed Tola, of course, required unanimous consent. atom was about to be taken, when Senator Boar, of Msaaachusetta, objected, and the nomination, under the roles of the Senate, vat referred to tbe Judiciary Committee. Several Senators besought Mr.

Hoar to wltb- anwbis objection, but be refused. Had It sui been for this objection hur. Conkling eoaM bave been confirmed, but not nnan-lntxnlr. Tbe motive Mr. Hoar had In ob- lMtinf was revenge.

It will be remembered toil vben General drant was President he Bvalaated Rockwood Hoar, a brother of the feutur, to be Chief-Justice. Senator Conk-liaf opposed his confirmation, and he was re-jMud. To-day waa the first opportunity given tt brutLer to pay back the score in kind, and kcsTslled himself of It. The nomination can Mt now be acted upon until next Tuesday, in Senate having adjourned over until Hon and on tbat day no business will be trusaeted because of the Garfield memorial errl Slnee tbe hour Mr.Conkllng's name reaobed ttx Senate for the high office the President bai itn fit to tender him the subject of the somination has been the supreme topic of eonvenatton. Opinions are equally divided to what Mr.

Conkling will do. On the one sand it is held tbat tbe President, after tbe experience he bad with Ex-Governor Mor fin, would hardly make th nomination without consulting the baaenolary These, coarse, assume that Mr. Conkling was notified tbe President's Intention, and tbat tbs President was advised that he would accept. On tbe other band, very stanch friends and admirers of the Senator say tbat be will de- elm the Dlace. for tbe reason that he has Mated In voblie and Jn private tbat there was no office be would hold which was not lift from the General Grant, when President, tendered Mr.

Conkling the position of Chief-Justice" of the Court, which. It vlll be remembered, he declined. Tbe prevailing opinion among the warmest friends of th Ex -Senator is that tbe Preai- dtaitook the chances of nominating him viOioat knowing what Mr. Conkling would oo. Ha felt tbat, ahould be aecejpt, the Court "enid tain a valuable Associate; and even if se did not.

It would be to his credit aa Presl dent to nominal on so worthy to be upon tU Bench. It is believed here tbat until the Eenate acta upon tbe nomination Mr. Conk- lisg will make no declaration, one way or tbe Uier, as to whether he will accept or not, but that after the nom ination la confirmed he will Kline, and give bla reasons therefor to the tablls. To accept the office, the Senator's friends say. would Involve a treat sacrifice on his part, for the reason that he has retain already which are of great pecuniary ad- vuntage to him, and which be oaeda because et his depleted purse.

AS to the propriety of the nomination, there eenu to be universal acclaim that it Is an ex tellentone. It Is conceded by even Con kiln g's avowed enemies that he ia an able lawyer, ha a Judicial and la irreproachable in cbaraetefw He voted. It will be remembered. la favor of th Thnrman Pacific Railroad Funding Bill, which th Supreme Court de cided subsequently to be constitutional. It waa because of tbe argument made by Stanley Matthews on this bill that be was so bitterly opposed when before the Senste for oonJLrma-Uoa.

Thsre are not a few who trust Mr. Conkling will accept, to keep Edmunds off the Bench. The friends of the latter bave Uen laboring with th President for some time to Indue him to give Edmunds the va easy. Cp to twenty-four boura ago there vra good reasons for believing that the Pree-klcat had vieldad to this pressor, and oan- baiplated the appointment of Edmunds. ha changed front very precipitately yeater-07.

and It la for this reason tbat there Is a belief that Mr. Conkling knew nothing of the President's Intention until be received In for fcatlon to-day In New York that he had been Bomlnaied. One of Mr. Conkling friends stated the Exauiaaa bureau, that the law business of tbe Senator had so crowded upon hia that he waa com peiled to decline a great deal of it, and that th business for which be has already accepted retainer will net him ner tlODjuoo the first rear. The Senator baa pent so much tlm in politic that be has 1-T beea kept poor, aad needed money.

All along Bargent and his friends bave made It pnblle tbat he was to be appointed Secretary of tbe Interior, and tbat Jadge Taft was to have tbe German Mission.

This is hardly probable, how- tuis aiiernoon a motion was raaae to connrm Bergen. Senator Don Cameron objected, and tbe matter went over until Tuesdav.

In eonsequeuos of its Western Agent having sent out false news from tbe city, by saying tbat person was misled in the premises by a reporter of the Washington Star. The lugging of tbe name of this paper Into his explanation by Mr. Smith was a gross piece of Im pertinence, and In doing it in tbe war he did that gentleman has been guilty as well of Im posing a falsehood upon his patrons and read- Tbe columns of the Btarjnever contained any such staff as was sent away from Wash lngton on tbe occasion referred to, and what it did publish on tbe subject did not afford even tbe sllghest gronnd-work for such detailed and injurious tstate- menta as were at tbat time sent oat by the Agent of tbe Western Associated Press. If Mr. Smith did not know this when he made hia so-called explanation we give him notice of tbe fact now; and we submit that aa public a way aa possible, impres sion he has created.

Tbe aatea Trial. Tbe only Item of Interest In the Benceant Mason trial to-day wa the line of defense de veloped by the counsel of the accused. quest waa made to have summoned J. Rob inson, late Major of tbe Seventy -eighth Ohio Volunteers. It was expected to show by him that th accused, while In bis command, had received a severe wound In the shoulder by an accidental discharge of his gun; that he was brave man aud a good soldier, and that he served under Major Robinson as Charles Mason.

The President having Inquired If It was proposed to show that this had had effect upon the mind of tbe accused, hia counsel said he proposed to show that this bad had Its effect upon Mason's nervous system and his disposition. He did not wish to state that his defense was Insanity, but he wiahed to show that there were mitigating elronmatancesi which, if they had no other effect, would com mend tbe accused to mercy in case of bis con viction by this Court, The consideration of the question was reserved nntil after tbe reading of th record had been completed. When the record had been read a formal motion was mad for aubpeena for Major Robinson. of Cbandlersville Ohio. In addition to what he had already stated, the counsel said that he expected to Introduce medical testimony, showing that by this wound the cervical nerves were shattered, and a marked change in the temperament and disposition of Mason had been caused, Tbe.

Judge-Advocate said be could not summon the witness without order from the Court, and referred to the fact that the accused had several times been amlned by medical officers when re-enllstlng. and had been pronounced able-bodied. Coun el said that he could show that Mason ought never to have been re-enlisted. After a brief consultation. Colonel Mlxner announced tbat the Court thought tbat the witness should be summoned, and directed that tbe necessary order for summoning th witness be Issued.

During the session of th Conrt to-day Ma son's wife sat In tbs room adjoining tbe library. where tbe Court sat. When Mason went out about noon, daring a secret session of the Court, be had a very affecting Interview with his wife over a letter which he had received the eyes of both being suffused with tears. dalteasi Ministerial Visitor. Two ministers of the Gospel called on Gul teau yesterday.

The most of the conversation with them wasaa to his improved looks and his photographs. He took on of the do similes of the flattened bullet shot at him by Sergeant Mason, and holding up a photograph and putting himself In position said it perfectly wonderful that the ball should have made such a good likeness. Tbe ministers had some little conversation of a apirltual character with him. In which he. said he a Christian, and was endeavoring to live as one.

Aa they were leaving ne paaseo ont card on which he had written: I offer, this sentiment: The Republican party wrecked by Garfield, saved by Gutteaua inspiration and Arthur's statesmanship." He does not seem Inclined to talk of hia case much now, and each conversation with visitors is pro hibited. Although apparently Indifferent, some of tbe officers are of the opinion that he la becoming really more serious than formerly, and that he engages In light con ve notion as a means of forgetting his crime and hi approaching fat.

The capacity of the Court-room Is tested by tbe crowds that eagerly seek for admission- There are present hundreds from, the town and vicinity of Wayneavill. where Mrs.

Tbe case opened yesterday, but, owing to th late. ness of the hour when the ury waa finally impaneled, but little progress was made In the testimony.

New York, February 24. -Th stock market haa shown a tendency toward a natural reac tion to-day. Th advance and strength has not been as much tbe result of bull tactic aJ of the apathy of the boars, who see an ad will ing to take a rest after th hammering work of tb past week." A good deal of anxiety waa manifested at tbe opening of th market, bnt apprehensions of serious trouble were soon allayed. Tbe panicky frame of mind which characterised the trading yesterday afternoon was absent. In it place waa a disposition to bay stock in moderate amounts.

Ther wa good invest ment baying, and aom of tbe speculative pools showed a firm front- The result of this waa aeen in steadiness, and aa advancing tendency In price. Ramon of trouble were floating about, bnt were not believed, and could not be verified It was Incidentally stated that Mr. Gould was on tbe point of falling, and in order to distribute information with perfect impartiality Mr. Keen was also said to be on the point of going Into liquidation. These reports became a them for Jest before noon, nd operators generally settled to th conclusion that brokers and financial Institutions bad stood tb shaking sp remarkably well.

A good many aborts were covered daring th morning, and aom of th roonf-txadera thought it time to. go long of stocks. There waa a feeling, however, tbat tb bear party would undoubtedly attack the market again and Northern Pacific preferred. Lake Shore and Wabash preferred were named as the stocks most liable to assault. It 1 understood that th pool In St, Paul secured ample reinforcement yesterday, and intends to sustain that stock at about tb present figure.

The bears have Intended to break it down to near par, bat tbe indications of tbe moment are that they will have great difficulty In so doing. Philadelphia and Washington bought a great many stocks yesterday afternoon. They bave been buyers again to-day. Bom good orders for Reading have been filled on the strength of the decision in tbe deferred bond caeca. It is under stood tbat an appeal will, by consent of coon el, go directly before the Supreme Court.

It la reported to-day that th gross earnings of th Lake Shore Company for tbe first half of February show a gain of 1200.000 over tboa of last year, while tbe net earning on aoeoant of tb open winter exhibit a vary, xaaraed increase. A current rumor ia that Mr. Van- derbllt haa aa unlimited order to boy Lake Sbor at certain figures, and that attempt to get tbe prlo to par will certainly fall. Mr. Vanderbilt la said to have sold Union Pacific stock because he ooold not ascertain fully enough what became of tbe Company's money.

Goald and Hunting ton, whlcb will lnsor peso aad harmony in too rnxare. AJraaaealaeoCTent tbat ths stack supposed to bave been bought by Msv IX O. Mills waa In reality borrowed by him.

Bears on Louisville and Nashville think that th price will slowly decline to about SO.

Th day cloned with tb prices of th lead ing speculative stocks 1 to per higher than at the close yesterday, and with the gen era! feeling mnch more improved than la in lea tod by th advance in prices. Ther Were no failure to-day, and it is an open secret that some of the heaviest railroad eanltallsta war large buyers of stocks yesterday and to-day, which waa ascertainable not only In the Block market, but among tb bankers and iastltu tlons who make time loans of money.

Soma of them tell frightful stories or tbe pertecutioiis to which they were subjected in tbe old country. Abraham Sheetaer, only a short Urn since prosperous shoe-maker in Warsaw, one night about a year ago, bad hi home forcibly entered by a mob of peasant, who seised hi wife aad three ehildrea and bore them to the outskirts of tb hamlet, while the father, frantic with grief, vainly followed, pleading for hia loved one. Tb Jeer snd scoff of th incarnate fiends were tbe only replies to hi supplication. On reaching tbe suburb of hamlet, stout pillars were planted In the earth, so as to form a group of the mother and ber children. The Innocent victims were bound the stakes, their clothing saturated with oil, fagots plaoed sround their feet, and th torch applied.

Almost within touch of his hand the father waa bound to another stake towitnea the belllah torture of hi wife and children, who in vain stretched out their hands to him who could no longer afford them succor. Tbe flame burned out, with mock solemnity Sheltner was released, and informed that he was at liberty, to take charge the charred trunks of what but a few boars before constituted his loved and loving family. Nurtualle Plskofr. a lass of eight year and the picture of health, telle tbe following story of th unnatural estrangement of a son faith of th GentUe: Her father was a watch- maker, and engaged with him was a son named Cambossa, wbo thought hia. father treated blm unkindly.

Cambossa embraced tbe faith of tbe Gentiles, and spent his leisure time ia their society. His father remonstrated with bim, but to no purpose. Tb son had become enamored of a Gen-til maiden. On afternoon the son left hi home, and on the night of the sam day returned with a party of Gentile companions. The father was taken from bed, small iron was heated to a white heat, and while the other tormentors held the father as in a vise, tbe son thrust th iron into bis father's eye.

Th next oay the son married the Gentile, and within a year the father died in poverty. The unfortunate child is with her nncle and aunt. Israel Ballagherwaa In Odessa when the persecutions commenced there in May last. He says that th peasant attacked their houses and rifled them of their entire content. Th men were beaten and aom of them killed, and woman and children assaulted.

Even Innocent babe were thrown oat of upper-story windows, and their brains dashed outoa th pavement below. A wealthy farmer named Berafsky offered 150,000 rouble to the howling mob who had attacked hi dwelling to spar his wlf and daughter from outrage; but the fiend assaulted hi family and beat him almost to death. Isaac Vixler, of Warsaw, say that tbe vio lent demonstration ooeurred in December last. Citizens at first attempted to defend themselves. Finding that it was useless to appeal to the authorities -they armed themselves with clubs, aad for a tlm were success-sal in repelling the mob; but when this fact became known to authorities th police swooped down upon them and demanded their Arms, which were given np.

Then the persecuted people were left to the mercy of ths i. heartless Inquisitors. Children were orrtof third-ecory wladews, wtwrwar murdered, children slaughtered, and the women suffered nameless horrors. Shops were burned oat and houses pillaged and burned. while th polio and military stood by with' out offering interference.

Th Committee of Twenty, one from each district, will ne doubt report a bill wtthia a week, ane th Committee of the Democrati Caucus will hove another "William" ready to offer a a substitute.

Of course, under the party whip, th bill of th Committee of Twenty will be passed if can ever be agreed on by th majority. Then the trouble will begin, a at Senate haa been ignored, and th Senator ar all more ambitious and mor interested in th -rediatricting than th Representative, and it la quit likely that th two House Will bo unable to agre on a bill, when either th Thorp or th Walker bill will be penned aa th last resort oat of the a nia will imt tn. districts aa tbey ara. aad provide for one Congressman at largo.
