New York Express says:
Almost all the Office seekers who have
a good story TO tell of the President, and

ableness Of his answers. His resolution
is mistaken as 10 removals. lie will
make none in and of himself All must
come through the proper department,
and will be duly considered in Cabinet
Council.
A good story is told by one of his old
neighbors and warm personal friends,
who presented himself at the White
House on Wednesday, saw the Prcsi.

wishes and then commenced laying be-
fore him his written application, lesti,
monials, &c. Put them up" said the
General 81 will not look at one ofthem.
All appointments must come through
the proper channel, and while ] wish

The reasonableness of the answer was
entirely satisfactory to him, and he left
admlring his friend more and more.
Another applicun, had an interview
with him yesterday and bore with him a
petition with an immense roll Of names.
Mr.. President" said the friend, "you
cannot get over that am sure. Read

the paper rolled from the applicants

it handed it back, and said he would
not look al it if il reached from the
White House TO Rochester. 1t must
come through the department.
So you see there is no getting round
or getting over the occupan. of the
White House, and he "who climbs u[
any other way than the right way
will in good scripluraI phraseology, be
treated "as thief and a robber."
The appointments will not be made
with any great hurry, and the President
and his Cabinet seem disposed not ,c
hurry matters.
The President, with characteristic
industry, summons his Cabinet al mint

after the severe labors of the week.
From nine TO noon is given to consider
