REGARDING NOMINATIONS. special to the Enquirer-Sun.] Washington, Dec. 18.—A consid erable portion of tlie executive session ’ of tlie Benute to-day was devoted to the discussion of the nomination of General James 1). Brady, its Collector of Internal Revenue for Petersburg, Va., District, in place of George 8. Richards, who was suspended under the tenure of ofllce act lust summer, recently reinstated by reason of fail ure of the Heimte to take action upon tlie ease at tlie last session, l’lie finance committee yesterday submit ted an unanimous report reeommend- ing'Brady’snomination Reconfirmed, although as made, it explicitly in volved the removal of Richards, re gardless of the fuel tliut no charges were presented against the latter, ana that he was conceded to have been a faithful officer. Richards after hold ing the ofilce eight yeurs, had entered upon a third term under the appointment of President Grant, when he was suspended by President Hayes in order to give the position to General Brady in pursuance of his announced policy of filling Federal offices in tlie .Southern States by native born resi dents. Brady was a native of Vir ginia, a Republican in politics and a volunteer officer in tlie Union army during tlie war of tlie rebellion. His appointment was strongly recom mended by tlie Virginia Senators, and other prominent Democrats, and liis confirmation lias been earnestly opposed by many Republicans, who are personal and political friends of Richards. The committee's tlivora- ble report, and tlie discussion which ensued to-day resulted in Brady's confirmation by a viva voce vote with only six or seven Senator* In the negative. Tlie nomination of Jno. Bax ter, of Tennessee, to circuit Judge for tlie fifth circuit was reported from the J udiciary Com mittee -with favorable recommenda tion was discussed at considerable length and continued without roll call. Tlie nomination of E. A. Hoy t to be Commissioner of Indian Affairs was also a snbjeet of some debate, but was confirmed without much omio- sition. Tlie Indian offal rs committee were unanimous in reporting it fa vorably. The resolution for a removal of tlie injunction of secresy from votes outlie New York Custom House nom inations was not reached, it being at tlie end of the callendar. No motion to reconsider yesterday’s action In regard to these cases bus been entered, nor was tlie controversy opened in any other manner to-day. MOBILE NOMINATIONS.

Paris, December 13.—The Consti- tutionel announces that M. Dufuure and Duke d’Audiltrct Fauquier were again summoned to the Hlysee yester day, as President MucMulion refused to accept tlie programme proposed by M. Bntkee. M. Du foil re is stated to have submitted last niglit a list of a parliamentary cabinet, including M. M. Bardoux, Betlimauf, Bay and Wadding ton. The Oaulois publishes tbe same intelligence. The Republi can papers express great distrust of these negotiations, and declare that the Left remains firmly resolved to obtain the execution of its whole programme. IlONAUARTISTS REFUSE TO SUSTAIN M’MAIION. London, December 13.—The J'all Matt (iazette's dispatch from Paris suvs a deputation from tlie lioiiapart- ists interviewed President MucMulion to-day and dt*(*hirod that tlu*y eould no loiiger support his policy. Having received our new stock, we cepted against my udvice, but it came to nothing. I told Lamar tliut if those burgulns were going on 1 would have nothing to do .with the ease, and said,‘If I can’t be captain i won't sail. ” Mr. Lamar’s yacht Wan derer was taken from him in the war, and was paid for. .Homo partners of his were trying to get ono-half of it, and procured an order restraining him, from getting ids Judgment under the Court of (Maims. For this case, in which Gen. Butler appeared, for a suit involving $670,(MX), in the United Btates Court in Boston, in which he also appeured as counsel for Lamar, and in the cotton claims case, lie demanded $25,000, and got it, giv ing a receipt in full. He distinctly refused to collect the claim of Mr. Herbert for fees, and told Mr. Her bert thut he lino no money for him, and tliut lie hud never received any money from Mr. Lamar for him. Mr. Herbert began a suit against Mr. Lamar for the fee, but Mr. Lamar died before it cume to trial. On tlie taial of Mr. Herbert's suit, Judge Benedict directed a verdict for the defendant. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court. Recently a motion was made asking Judge lien- edict to direct tlie signing, sealing, and filing a hill of exceptions in the ease os, and for, June 1, 1875. The defendant claimed that as the record hud passed out of the hands of Uio Judge of the Circuit Court, no altera tion could lie made in it, and that no stops hud been taken toward the al lowance of a Dill of exceptions, or to obtain an extension of time for that purpose, at tlie time of the trial or be fore tlie term expired. Accordingly Judge Benedict yesterday rendered a decision denying the motion, with liberty to have it renewed in ease tlie record is transmitted back from tlio Supreme Court.

The interview may have been satisfactory to'Cololiel Felton, liut it was not to the reporter who first said: ''] came to ask if it is true that Mr. Tilden has taken the .presidential oath of office?" Colonel Felton appeared tobealit- ,t!a surprised at, the question and said, .'‘What do. you mean?” The reporter Hhowed him a news- pajier slip- containing the above ex tract, which he read and said I do not know who could have said that.” “The question I wanted to ask, Mr. Felton, w*s whether Mr. Tilden took the oath of office or not?” ‘‘This," he said, Still regarding the ndwspaper slip, “seems to lie a state ment without importance. I have no knowledge of who it might be.” “The question," repeated the re porter, who begun to fool a little doVibtrul about the answer, and threw all the pathos he could command into the appeal; “tlie question I wanted to ask was whether Mr. Tilden has really tuken the oath ? ! “I don’t see what this means,” said Colonel Felton, seemingly avoiding u direct answer to the question, and re- sutulng Ills office work; “I don’t ki^ow anything alsiut it.” ■cllenek's Haldnks Fills Will lio found to possess those qualities necessary to the total eradication of all bilious attacks, prompt to start tbe se cretions of the ltver, and give a healthv ‘ ' 1. it otoliuve invented u remedy for these stubborn complaints, wllioh de velop nil the results produced by a heretofore free use of calomel, a min eral justly dreaded by mankind, and acknowledged to be destructive in the extromo to tlie human system.
