Fred DongUis' Nomination Report ed on Favorably NoiwMUstandlnar i He Opporftlon-Hares will not Ap point Relatives to Oflice Parties In the Next Congre-Chrses Agaluat Assistant secretary Goaant Peace ful Assurances from New Orleans &e Ac. Washington, March 17. The opposition to Fred Douglass is strong, in linly because he lacks legal knowledge and pejsonal acquaintance with the coDdi lion of prooerty in the District. The col ored people themselves are opposing the confirmation. The Senate committee on the District, however,, reported favorably on the nomination. The Ti-ibune's Washington dispatch says among the unsuccessful candidates for the United States marshalship for the Northern District-of Illinois was a Mr. Stillwell, of Livingston county. The President told him his papers were unexceptionable, but there was one insuperable objection to his appointment to any federal office, that was his wife was a favorite cousin of Mrs. Hayes. Allowing the Republicans all they claim in Louisiana, Florida, South Carolina, and elsewhere, the Forty-fifth Congress will stand Democrats 149, Republicans 144. The Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, Corrant, isunder question, but the charges are indefinite. Secretary Sherman thought yesterday there was nothing in them. The officers of the banks, insurance com panies and trade boards of New Orleans telegraph Hayes assurances that disorders wiirnot follow the withdrawal of troops. The Senate, after discussion, agreed by a vote of 39 to 8, to send a special commis sion to Oregon to investigate Senator Gro ver. The President sent two minor nomina tions to the Senate to day, which were omit ted yesterday by a" clerical blunder. This closes out the extra session of the Senate. Secretary Sherman is authority that there is no foundation whatever for insinuation of questionable practices affecting the hon estyjjEtSsistant Secretary Conant. . The nomination of Charles M. Wilder, as postmaster at Columbia, S. O, was con firmed. Two o'clock. The Senate is still in session. MAKING DISASTERS. Two Vessels Damaged and Captain Washed Overboard. Norfolk, March 17.

The following remain unconfirmed: Hughes, Attorneyfor Middle Tennessee; Waldren, Marshal for West Tennesse; Boseman, Postmaster at Charleston, S. C. ; Potts for Postmaster at Petersburg, Va. The Senate, after the usual formalities, adjourned sine die. The Star says: "Nearly all the Louisiana politicians who have been in the city for weeks in the interests of the Nicholls go vernment leave for New Orleans to-night. Tulv say they have assurances that the or der tor the withdrawal of the troops from South Carolina and Louisiana will be pro posted at the cabinet meeting on Tuesday next, and the army will withdraw to the military reservations on Wednesday."

Senators Conkling and Morgan in favor and Senator Wbyte against it. Hill, Beck, Garland and Mor gan voted for confirmation; Lamar absent The nomination of Stone, as District At torney for South Carolina, was recommit ted and went over, on motion of Gen. Gor don. The chief point against him seems incompetency. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. The Eastern Question Conciliation aud Promptitude tbe Characteris tics of all Parties In tbe Present Ne gotiations I he Probable Result, Arc London, March 17. The limes, in a leading article, contrasts the long preparation which preceded the Andrassy notes and the Berlin memoran dum with the celerity of the present nego tiation, it says conciliation ana prompt! tude have beei the characteristics of all parties, and, having resolved to agree, their complaisance is wonderful. The protocol was only communicated to Lord uerny on ounaay, ana on r naay we are congratulated as an accomplished work. This shows that whatever the Russian gov ernment may propose to accomplish, asso ciation with the European powers is looked upon a important, either for external do litical action or to allay irritation and dis appointment at home. Tbe assurances of the Russians make us believe the latter is the object, and that the Czar, having deter mined to relinquish his enterprises, desires merely such conditions as will not too much humiliate his people, if this be the motive, ice signature oi ine protocol win oe a de cisive event, unless, indeed, new disorders in i in key throw all again into confusion Charles Cowdeii Clarke, lecturer and au ihor, is dead.
