The Rejection Of Richard H. Dana, Jr.

[Washington Cor. Chicago Times.] There was a long discussion in the executive session of the Senate upon the disposal of Dana. Morton made the opening speech against Dana's confirmation. He regaled his aasooiates in relation to Dana's literary piracy. A general firing off followed. Scnater Edmuniïs replied to Morton in a speech of upward of an hour and a half in length. He made the strongest possibls plea for Dana. He was very earnest and gesticnlated more than ustial for a man of his frigid temperament. He said that this literary piracy charged upon Dana was no piracy whatever. He naid that all English precedonts and American decisions were upon the side of considering mere notes and citations as common property. Such citations as had been taken by Dana were open for any one. Mr. Morton in reply to Mr. Edmunds said that granting this, there was the undeniable f act that Mr. Dana had sworn that he had not taken them. Mr. Boutwell spoke a few words in favor of Dana. It carne out in the discussion that, contrary to the general outside belief, the President had long been in favor of withdrawing Dana. but had dei'erred to Dana's wishes in allowing hLs name to rernain before the Senate.
