THE TRIBUNE.
THINGS IN WASHINGTON
From our Regular Correspondent.


You will sec long list OF Military appointments
in last nights Union. Some Of them mentioned 10
you some days ago. There six Quar!ermasiers
with The rank OF Major. One OF them u. "a oa' u
well, OF KY was member Of the last congress
They are all from the West and South lhere are
twenty three Assistant Quartermsstefs win therehk
OF Captain. They are all from the South vest and
TEXAS There seems TO be no place in the memory
Of lame. K. Polk for such insi gniicunt little places
A. NeyYork. Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connect
cut, Vermont New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and
other States whose names have been heretofore hon
orably remembered.
Out of these twenty. nine Quartermasters and AS
sistants the little States above mentioned have not
received one appointment. But who should com
plain when Tennessee has received four, and Illinois
Gvcl
There are five Commissaries with the rank Of
Major all from the South and West, one OF them,
julius w Bleckw ell of Tennessee, was a member
OF The last Congress. There are twenty two AS
eistant Commissares all from the South and Jest.
Among them is w. c. Mechanism. of Ohio, member
of the last Congress. OF these twenty seven Com
misshrcs and Assistant Commssaries Tennessee has
three and Illinois five. None OF Them are believe,
East of the Alleghanies.
You will see by this list of appointments that z x
eculiye patronage is swelling enormously. The
play 10 only begun The President Is now des
pot, With his power Of bestowiDg brides he can
override the Constitution and set Law and Prece-
dent defiance
The nomination and confirmation OF Gen TAYLOR
md Gen w O. BUTLER have already mentioned
Beside these, the President has nominated Gen.
PArrERsoN of Phiiadeiph as Major General In The
volunteer forces. He has also nominated several
additional Brgadier Generals 10 The number OF SIX,
believe and will probably give us more
The names OF the nix already nominated are
Lane OF Indiana Marshall (not Thomas OF Ken
lucky Pillow Of Tennessee q uitinan oil Mississippi,
Hsmer OF Ohio aud Shields Of Illinois. These,
believe are all Loco Focos--some OF them with no
qualifications except party services Thus party
capitals manufactured and the public money squan-
dered. The Loco Foco party IN 10 be gamer The
people the sufferer.
We had a regular fare up in the House OF Repre-
senialives 10 day 1t appears that some OF the Free
State Loco. Focos had caucus last night The hrsi
fruit of which was speech on the rarlf 10 day
by Mr.. BRiSKEuofF Of Ohio, against Mckay la
riff bill and in favor of Hungeriords. The South
will adhere 10 Mckays, and thus there is a chance
OF honest men being safe
There liz little reliance however 10 be placed on Mr.
BRtNKERHoFF's declarations. He Twore terribly
in The last Congress TINT he would not vote Tor The
intensely selfish scheme Of Annexation. He sud
he would be- dog first But he did vote Tor II with
out one inch Of free territory being secured Men
who have mo- hing else 10 do may place confidence In
ms political pledges Crcddt JudedS.
y ou will zee that the motion allow small lot
Of public ground on which 10 erect Monument 10
tue memory OF George Washington was contempt
uously laid or kept the table yesterday IN the
Senate o., The Loco FUcu party. Tie Wings voted
10 lake il up, the iocos against H. Mr.. HAYWOOD
was the only member OF The other party voting with
the Wings The next thing they ought 10 do. to be
consistent is 10 remove Washington = portrait from
the Senate Chamber.
The Resolutions passing the Senate calling on
the President and Departments for Information are
very numerous. Yesterday one or two strange res
oulions passed. One of them was offered as al
amendmcnt by MIR DAVIS, asking the Secretary OF
the Treasury give list OF the manufactured arl
Giles upon which the sum OF fifty four millions OF
dollars is annually paid 10 the protected classes by
enhancing The p,ice OF domestic ARTICLES. This Is
poser. think MIR. DAVIS caught the Senate nap
ping aud will find the Secretary-tarry secret.
AuoIher Resolution adopted yesterday, was one
asking on the Secretary OF War, by ~ha, authority
he has commissioned Individuals TO raise volunteers
Tyrants can more easily uainple down oohs'''u'ohs
than answer plain questions.
The Executive organ this morning is trying TO
wash cut the memory of 5i' 40. by sottsosplng
Judge Douglass oi III.
Bundc,und the Commissioner oil Patents Is
out in long tlrade against the Tariff in last night
Union He says that in the next Presidential cleo
lion ,hc Democratic canddste" will be pledged
against the Tariff. How will Pennsylvania get
aong in that fight trust no Kane letter VIII al
ford her an excuse for cutting her own throat Let
these declarations be remembered.
Among the strangers In town notice Dr. DUNCAN
OF Ohio, ex.MC. Mr.. MCALlsrER OF Georgia, Loco
Foco candidate for Governor AT the last election has
been here for two or three days. He LETT town,
believe too day. RCAELlEu.
