EVENING STAR.
WASHlNGTON:
WEDNESDAY, MARCH %, 1853.
The New York Appoin, me nts.


Guilty in Washington in relation to the dis
posal of the officers in the gift of the Presi
dent, connected with New York, from the
antagonisms that have recently sprung up
between the party, powe!tul in its strength
but ,oeak in its discussions. We give the
names of the prominent candidates for the
different posts, several Of whom are here at
present:
Collector. Messrs. Cisco, W. B. McClay,
A. II. Mickle, and - Schel.
q. S. District Attorney. Lorenzo B.
Shepherd, John Mexican, and - West.
Naval Officers. c. S. Bogardus and Chas.
A. Clinton.
Surveyor Of the port. Daniel D. Briggs,
John ]. Munford, Daniel A. Delavan, and
Jho. 3. Davis.
Post Office. Gen. Storm, exjudge Wa
terbury, and exjudge Vanderpool.
Aarsdal. Captain Rynders, Enoch E.
Camp, and Anthony J. Bloecher
Nary agent. Hon. Emanuel 3. Hart, J.
'. Fowler, and James suydam
The salary of Collector is Sc, 3S5 per an
mum, with power of patronage, next al
most to the President himself. That of the
Postmaster, $4,000, but the box rem IS and
other perquisites averages from ten to fif-
teen thousand dollars, per annum, with
limited patronage.
The salaries and perquisites attached to
the other appointments vary from s., 900
to $1,000 per annum. There are names
upon the tickets here that are eminently
worthy Of marked consideration. That is
if sterling devoted and consistent services to
the New York Democracy can give them
claims-we mean first Mr.. Shepherd. The
writer Of this knows him we'll. And then
there is Captain Rynders. We care not
what may be said in opposition to him,
Captain r. is one of the hardworking, and
is ever found at his post, and not your holt
day politician that shuts himself up in his
winter quarters until the approach of an
election, then comes forward and gives his
"cheer or two" and makes up his big ..bil
of particulars" with large array of sigma
lures in his application for on appoint
ment.
MIR. Hart is eminently worthy of consi-
deration, and from personal observation in
New York and in Congress, we have always
und him attentive to his duties as he has
be- to his trust. The appointment Of
Mess a Cisco, Bogardus, Briggs, or Num-
ford, and General Storms, would Le popular
in New York, but from the great number of
applications and, the renewal uf the spirit
of division that weakened the great strength
will embarrass President Pierce, who no

eral masses OF the Democracy, is just the
sort Of man to have will Of his own, in
the event Of any embarrassing antagonists
that may spring up between the rival Sec
tons in that great party. As NEUTRAL and
tndspeRdeu Journal, we do not interfere in
these questions, but give them as rumored,
and, also as it is said, that delegation
has come on specially from New York, who,
perhaps will settle the outside difficulty, and
relieve the President from the embarrass-
ment of deciding the controversies between
the litigants. We learn that the names of
the delegation are, Captain James NJ. Tur-
ner, ]. Mech Henry, and Thomas Van
Buren,, all of New York
