"To Me iYnfifmf Mr t You were kind
enough, without niy solicitation or ai.y
knowledgo on mv part that you contem
plated such a thing, to nominate, me for
Chief Justice of tho Supreme Court ol tlw
United btatcs. Hlnco that time the flood
gates ot calumny In all directions liave
been opened upon me. My abilities hare
been ulsparged, my Integrity brought in
question, and, as It seems to me, that stage
of public opinion aiherso to my appoint
ment has been rcaihed which might here
attir embarrass your administration and
pcrliaps Impair my usefulness upon the
Much. With a perfect consciousness tint
I liato performed, with dean hinds and
upright purpose, all tho duties or tho vari

Mr. KdmuiKls opened, nud prcented tlw
case for confirmation, but showed plainly
that personally ho had llttto heart In tho
matter.
Mr. Sargent opposed Iho confirma
tion bitterly, and reviewed Cushlng's rec
ord, wlien lie gave way to
Mr. Cameron, who said ho desired to
Icavoontho noon train, but wished to
Indicate his position. He then attacked
tlw nomination with great vigor, mid said
that If It were confirmed It would destroy
the Republican party.
Mr, Sargent, resuming, referred to Cush
lng's antecedents, and coming down to
1SU2, produced an J read a letter by Cush
IngtoMarcy, ol New Hampshire, de
nouncing tlw war lu a style tliat would
have dono credit to Vallanulnghain.
Mr. Scott followed much In the strain of
Sargent and Cameron. He would not sup
port thu nomination unless It could be
proved to his satisfaction tliat Cushlng wns

Mr. Frelliighnysen followed and en

Mr. Kdmunds' statement created great
excitement.
Mr. Conkling was observed to take Sar

Mr. Conkllng defended Cudilng, saying
that he was like many other Ik'uiocruts, nt
first opposed to thu war, but alternants
loyal.
After tlw speech ol Conkllng tlierei were
calls on all sides lor Sargent to read the

Tlw reading nf the letter produced an
