THE DIPLOMATIC APPOINTMEN;

(From, Me An()lo -American Time.;.)
Mr. John Jay, President of the Union L
Club, has Leen requested by that body to 1,11

graduated at Columbia College in 1832. 11.
ancestors • emigrated after the revocation of tht
1.: Ed -et of Nantes, and became so etnim nt as to int
• 'Tess their name upon the national 1 istory. Itier
grand-father, John Jay, w at President of the First
Congress and Minister to Spain and to England. Th
family estate is in- Long Island, to which he sue-
ceeded on the death of his f niter. He is a very
eminent barrister, as we before observed, but, bay-
ing inherited a fine property, there is no necessity
for his pursuing the profession which he studiel
under the late Daniel Lord, being admitted to
the bar in 1839. Ire has twic3 visited Europe, and
when last he was in London he was an honorary
member of the Atherm i n Club. It was not without
considerable pressure that he accepte.l the nomina-
tion to Austria, having first so resolutely declined it,
that the President crdered the commission to
be made put for William Cullen Bryant, and
it was only when the ll3n. John A. Griswold
personally interfered that Mr. Jay gave way. .
Many people, especially in New York city, were
greatly disappiAted that John Jay w.l.s not nomi-
nated to England, as the estimate those who best
know him entertain of his talents is very high, toge-
ther with his legal knowledge and high culture, pos.
sessing too an historical name which carries such an
unfair degree of weightin England. Mr. G. W. Lip-
pia, of Rhode Island, who has been appointed hia
secretary of Legation, held that position under Mr.
Motley, resigning with that, gentleman after the
M'Cracken scandal. An official so loyal to his chief
and to his political party could not, of course, be
overlooked, • an:l was therefore reappointed. Wil-
liam A. Howard, the new Minister to China,
has also received his instructions, but his mission is
considered so important in view of the late treaty
concluded with the Chinese Embassy, that instead
of proceeding by the direct route through San
Francisco for Peking, he will go round by Europe
to confer with his Excellency Anson Burlingatne
before presenting his credentials. Mr. Howard is
a graduate of a New England College, but when a
young man he removed to Michigan, and became
connected with that state's University. He sat in
the Thirty-Fourth and two succeeding Congresses,
and for the five years following 1861 he was
postmaster at Detroit until he had the good for-
tune to be removed by Andrew Johnson. Sena-
tor Cameron denies that he opposed the confirma-
tion of ex-Governor Curtin to the Russian Mission,
and made a bitter speech against him. He did
assert that Mr. Curtin was not recommended by
the Representatives of his State, nor was he the
choice of the Republican party in Pennsylvania ;
but, being nominated by the President, he would
neither speak nor vote against his confirmation.

Mr. T. J. Coffey, of Pennsylvania, will relieve Mr.

Curtin, now Secretary of Legation at St. Peters-
' burgh. There was a battle royal over the nomina-
tion of John S. Carlisle to Stockholm, and Mr.
Sanford to Spain. The latter was certainly at-
tacked by Senator Cameron, as well as by Mr.
Buckingham, and defended by Senators Sumner
and Anthony. Exception was taken to his unde-
cided Republican opinions, he having the happy
faculty, his ass %Hants said, of suiting any party in
power; yet, strange as it may appear to these gen-
tlemen, we consider that men of moderate views
are those only who ought to receive high diplomatic
appointments. If the conduct of negociations with
a foreign country is to be the reward of stumping
a State for a candidate, then soundness on the main
question, and the inability* to get on with any one
who holds different views, must be excellent qualifi-
cations. But if gentlemen are to be sel'cted to
make an impression on Foreign Uourts, we ques-
tion the qua'ifications considered indisPensable by'
Senator Cameron. We suppose the attack in the
3:;1/0•<1 -1,-34,,furc1'a chance. The
appointment excited much interest in the country
in vi.nv of the delicate relations existing with Spain,
but notwithstanding petitions were received from
different parts against. Mr. Sanford, the Com-
mittee agreed to report his name, but without re-
commendation. On the 22.1 April his nomination
was brought up by Mr. Sumner. The debate con-

tinned with great vigour, and was finally laid on
the table by a vote of 32 to 20, equivalent to rejec-
tion. Then came the name of Mr. J. Russell Jones
in succession to him in Belgium, the Committee
having rciniitca f..vourob):r tne appotutment on
the understanding that General Grant personally
desired it. Mr. Sumner explained that on the re-
jection of Sanford for Spain there existed no va-
cancy for Belgium, whereupon Mr. Jones was tabled
without a division. borne of General Sanford's
friends at Washington asserted, with what truth
we hive no means of knowing, that he would probab!y
resign ; but as the case at present stands he is his
own master to continue in his post at Belgium. It

is now certain that General Sickles will be sent by
the President to Madrid, and as the nomination of

James L. Foley as Secretary of Legation has failed,
General Sickles will be permitted to choose for him-

self. C. E. De Long, now Minister to Japan, was
born in Dutchess County, New York, went to Cali-
fornia in 181-.0 when 16 years old, and studied law
in a miner's cabin. several times he was elected to
the California Legislature, and came within one vote
of defeating Nye, against whom he ran for U.S. Sena-
tor. Ile is a brilliant lawyer, an ardent Republican,

under the close inquiry of the Republican Senate.
That inquisitive body spread out his Senatorial
record, and every line in it asserted his Copperhead
proclivities. There was a great fight on the even-
ing of the 22d over both Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Pile.
The report on the latter had been adverse for the
mission to Brazil on the ground of unfitness, and it
is rumoured that Mr. Henry T. Blow, of St. Louis,
will be appointed. Mr. Carlisle slyly succeeded in
obtaining a confirmation after his enemies thought
him out of the field; but, on hearing it, they re-
turned to the charge, the appointment was re-con-
sidered, which finished his chance, and General
Bartlett therefore ist3 remain at Stockholm. A great
struggle also failed of Mr. Pile's friends to re-
consider his rejection, and the Senators were bitterly
denounced who had so strenuously opposed him. In
that opposition Sumner and Fessenden led, while
Schurz, Harlan], and Tipton spoke in high terms of
his qualifications. General Russell was withdrawn
for Ecuador, being opposed by Senator Cameron.
As we have already given a full list, and our
space is too limited, we do not repeat the names of
those before inserted, but now confirmed by the
Senate, but we do of those replaced, withdrawn,
and rejected.
