REGARDING NOMINATIONS.

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.

within four months, Bamuel J. Tilden
would be president of the United

“that Mr. Tilden took tlie oath of

Tlie reporter first visited a well in

posed to know if auytliingofthe kind

not done; Mr. Tilden doesn’t pro
states for over $570,000. ■ Lamar agreed
to pay $20,000 to have the appeal dis
missed. Mr. Lamar then, as he
alleges, employed General Butler.
An examination of the record showed
that tlie np|>eal hud not been docketed
in.the Supreme Court, and General
Butler, on hearing tht*, mid that
under Buie Oof the Supreme Court
tlie cose could be docketed and dis
missed. Butler asked, “Wlmt nlsuit

agreed to divide his fees of $20,000
with him.
When the time came to docket and
dltunisH the motion under the rule,
Mr. Herliqrt said that he was a mem
ber of the liar of the Supreme Court,'
but that he had never hud occasion to
appear there, and he desired to appear
and argue the motion. Butler told
him to keep his hand* off. and had
the case dismissed himself. 'Che cause
was subsequently restored to the cal

to have the appeal dismissed. Mr.
Lamar paid Butler $20,000, and Mr.
Herbert did not get hi* fee. When

he had given Butler $25,000.

said that he didn’t have one cent for
Herbert; that the $20,000 was all his

to-day and dt*(*hirod that tlu*y eould

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

The reporter Hhowed him a news-

“The question I wanted to ask, Mr.
Felton, w*s whether Mr. Tilden took

‘‘This," he said, Still regarding the

“The question," repeated the re
porter, who begun to fool a little

all the pathos he could command into
the appeal; “tlie question I wanted
to ask was whether Mr. Tilden has

A Gentle Hint.
Ill our stylo of climate, with its mill
ion changes of temperature—ruin,
wind anil sunshine often intermingloil
in n single day--it is no wonder that
our children, friends and relatives are
so frequently taken from us by neg-
loclod colds,* half tho deaths resulting
directly from this cause. A bottle of
liosehec’s German Syrup kept about
your homo for immediate use will pre
vent serious sickness, a large doctor’s
bill, uml perhaps death, by tho use of
three or four doses. For curing Con
sumption, Hemorrhages, Pneumonia,
Severe Coughs, Croup, or any disease
of the Throat or Lungs, its success is
simply wonderful, as your druggist
will toll you. Genimii Svrup is now
sold in every town and village on this
continent. Sample bottles for trial,

Wonderfully strange that human be
ings become so desperate as to take
each other's life, even while sailing
through the air! Desperate, indeed,
has our race become. Abandoned, tin-
cared for, as many wives are, disease,
slow and insidious, claims her, and slio
soon becomes prostrated and indiffer
ent to all surroundings. Her ebooks
an* no longer aglow, her robust consti
tution is feeble and emaciated. Rut
there is a wonderful medicine known
as English Female Ritters, which is u
quick and powerful fomulo regulator
ami uterine tonic, and cures all such

Galveston, Texas, December !».—
Two Kentuckians, Picket ami Hol

from Monterey, Mexico, where tl
were cn^a^cd in pJiolo^rapb.v. Tliey
were compelled to leave, owing to tin
intense feeling against Americans
Passing through the Sierra Mndn
Mountains tliey were attacked by ten
Mexicans, miner command of Pcdn
Olmes, and ix>1)1kh1. Holland wn>
shot in tlie right hand. Before reaeh
ing the Rio Grande, at Ranch Ber-
trudes, they met a band of fifty rob
bers, who ordered them to leuv
Mexico at once. Tliey were com
manded hy a young Englishman,
who claims to he a son of a general
now in the service of England. For
the past five years lie has been en
gaged in smuggling from the free
zone and stealing cuttle from Texas,
and has amassed a large fortune by
this Illicit business, lie said that
over 50,000 Mexicans would cross the
border before Christmas, under eom-
