ALBANY, Feb. 5, 1875
The Senate have held two Executive Sessions
since my last-yesterday and to-day; bu, as yetno
action is had in relation to appointments in your
city ard vicinity. The Old White Horse" still
plays sby Though this was emphatically understood
TO be New York Appointment week, the noun
tain has not as yet brought forth even mouse. No
nominations have been made, and of course none
confirmed. The executive nominations arc con-
fined to The two. penny Offices in the country. Hal
sEY has been rcappointed Judge in Old Suffolk,
and believe some fortunate individual has been
designated 20 the lucrative Office Of Surrogate OF
Staten Island, That is all. Woful is the disap-
pointrneat of YOUR ofiee-seekers. The Agricultu-
rel Governor mus; distribute the loaf soon, or he
will be devoured by your hungry wolves. He Is
run over and almost trodden down by the legion.
While one applicant has hold OF his Excellencys
digits and is in the very of giving that cordial
shake Of the hand which your experienced office
seeker only knows how to give, another rudely
pulls away the gubernasorial aPPendage and seizes
it himself This is fact, and the occurrence was
witnessed in the Executive Chamber not three
DAYS ago OF the prospects of your large fish but
little can be snid-thc small fry (some 500) of
course are overlooked. 1t is now said that

lar as to the animal from which it is to be taken.
The absorbing question after all is, who shnll be
Health Officer! DR.. MORGAN has the powerful
tonal claim too that he good enough Wing

the Judgeship. then the other VS. cake is all

ers prospects are not as bright they were.

After all, think the contest fer Health Officer
is narrowed down to MAcLAY and BEAKLY. On
the one side is suticiency of brass and long ca
taloguc of family services for the party-ou the
other a consideration not TO be sncezed at, can
assure you-an intended marriage of the daughter
of his Excellency 1t is hard pull, but think

inodesty and the threatened consequences which
are to follow his appointment. Who will unite this
Gordian knot Can. you get up Convention
That's the way they settle oil this business in the
country
The Standard man is here, but it any body sup
poses that he has as much influence as feather,
that body is very much mistaken. The Locos de-
spisc him, and the Wings would trust Pyrotechnic
SLAMM sooner than such haf-and-half genius.
Like an antquated dame. he has had his day, and
had better retire little back-he can see lust a.
well.
Apropos of the family influence. There is a
Kilkenny contest in this city as to who shall be
Flour Inspector for the good of the party and $4,000
per year. One of the applicants-whe, by the by,
has the smallest claim for the Office, either polite
ally or othcrwise-presentcd his petition to one OF
our most respected Wig merchants. He refused
of course, to put down his name, but asked the mo-
dest youth what his prospects were7 %! l shall

They explain themselves. Alas for the honor OF
New.York, when such trucking spirits have it in
charge
The New-York and Eric Railroad will go by the
board. The proposition to make ii a State Work
will only receive some six votes. do not believe
that fAgLKNER's bill, which is regarded as the
very smallest amount, will pass the Senate. Old
Granny HUNTER opened upon it to-day, and can't
go it any how, although extremely DESTROYS tha,
the road should be built, of course An amend,
ment was offered by an ultra Loce to-day, which, if
adopted will Kill the bill for all the good it will do
and if rejected, will certainly kill it for want OF
votes. So ii will be gone sucker either way.
No local news of Importance. Elder SWAN and
the Millerites are raising tremendous religious
excitement, almest bordering on phrenzy. How
much good will be effected remains to be seen.
