ia Is understood that Mr., Forward declines
d,e appointment Of Solicitor Of the Treasury,
aid thatihv position has been teraefsd TO and
accspted BY the Hon. Johu C. CLARK, recently
app lated First Auditor. Mr.. CLARK, who is
fully equal to tho duties and responsibilities
Of q Cabinet station, will make a most able,
faiihful and popular Solicitor Of the Treasury.
Ii is a'so understood that Thomas L. Smith,
Esq removed from the office Of the Register
u the Treasury, by the late Polk Administra-
ton has been appointed first Auditor, in place
q Nr. CLARK, transferred. MI. Smith has
esct been a popular man, and %favOrite with
The public. h. ia deserving, and viii make a
good Auditat.
Mr.. Washington, tue Sixth Auditor, will
remain in Office long enough to make out hio
annual report, Which 10 now in process Of pre-
p%arpiien.
Tho positive declaration, in some Of the
pe wspupers, that Mr.. Secretary Meredith had
appointed Mr.. McClinlock Young, to the Of
fec Of aasaistant Secretary Of the Treasury,
turns out, Of onutse, tnbe untrue. Mr.. Young
being a very decided aud unco nprOmising OPP
ponent Of the Wing party, does uel, probably
expect to be appointed to the important post
referred TO.
Mr., Meredith. as understood, has appointed
Mr.. Feran 70 a temporary place in the Regis
ict's Bureau. Mr.. Feran is an experience ed
CLERK, aud an ex-locofocO editor Of some re-
"putalicn. A few months ago he wos appoln.
ted chief clerk Of the Bureau Of Customs, but
was soon after removed upon the ground that
he had received lie appointment under some
Misrepresentation.
Honest Comptroller Whittlesey has Just put
his Ucto upon the account rendered by Mr..
Dickens, the Secretary of the Senate, Of about
$4,000, which he paid to tho members Of the
Senate, as coastructire ntleGge-tha is, he paid
all of them but three who had constitutional
s%cruples on tho matter, the mileage for going
home on the 4lh March last, and returning the
same day-just as il they had actually, aud
not simply in Imagination, travelled to their
homes and back!
This paying Of constructive mileage, for
travelling never performed, has been INDUCED
in TOO long already, and Father Whittlesey is
Just The fearless and honest man 10 stop Me ac-
count, let the consequences be what they may,
Il is stated that he submitted the matter 10 the
President, and said that If his construction.
was not approved Of, he would iesisn his Of
fee, and some other gentleman, taking an op.
posite view Of the law, might be appointed
in bis stead. He had no wish to embarrass
the A Administration The President promptly
requested the Comptroller to do what he be-
lieved to DO right, and let the consequences
take care oi1 themselves
Mr.. Secretary Dickens will, therefore,
have to ask Congress to make up the expended
sum TO him. The paid Senators will hardly
refund any part Of the $4,000 they have re-
coivod, according TO precedent, though no.
according to law and justice,
The news relative to The alleged Punishment
Of M. Bodisco by the Emperor Of Russia, was
the talk Of the town. A dozen different YER
sions Of the affair were soon in circulation.
One is, that the Gar did the deed, because M.
BodiscO pOnsioned two Of his nephows upon
the American Government, (under the late
Administration } Another version is, that
since the late arrival Of the news Of the ban.
ishmeni, Mrs. BOdisco (who was riding throa Oh
this city to day, in the family carriage) 1e-
ceived letters from M. Bodisco, stating that
he will soon return to this country. 1t is Ger.
tain that letters up TO the 9th ult. have btsn
received IRON NJ. Bodisco, and that he was
then at ST, Petersburg, well, and expected to
be in this country in ninety days from that
time. OF course there is no truth in the re-
port IN the New York papers.
