Correspondence OF The Tribune
WASHINGTON Dec g lsl6.
The index of the feeling of the House in relation
to the Administration unmlstaSable IN the
overwhelming majority by which the resolution OF
Mr. RATHBuN, Of N. y passed IN relation to the
Secret Inspectors oil the New.York Custom House.
It is well known that Mr. Walker, the Secretary of
the Treasury is very anxious 10 be the regular
Loco. Foco candidate for the Presidency OF the

compared with which the salary is Of no great I'm.

OF the prominent OF these Inspectors, has given
impulse to the suspicious, as to the character aud
necessity of the appointments
