II is being affirmed here that the Secre'a5! =. .ue
Treasury has decided the question relative 70 He ae
button OF the 90 per cent extra duties on soous eu
below their appraised value TO Collectors, NsSa oncSrs
and Surveyors, in their favor This is an entire mistake
the legal points involved being still under the Attorney
Generals Investigation. Not long since, however, ne
did decide meoted point with reference 10 the Legality
of making ND the deficiency ess than the maximum pay
sowedO the Collectors atcersin fourth orffib rate Gus
Lighthouses The question was whether thelaw allowed
the DEPARTMENT thus 70 make up the deficiency 20 these
Collectors their respective Offices having paid into the
Treasury after paying expenses stated per centage of
revenue lie has ordered the deficiency IN such to
be made up The Collectors Of Alexandra, Va, New
Haven CT, and Georgetown, ID. G., are among those
thus compensated above the amounts allowed them re-
spectiyey bv the decision of the late Secretary OF the
Treasury neither ofthem getting under this reing
from one to three hundred dollars per annum IN addition
TO what they had previously received. The aggregate
payment from the Treasury on this account viii hardly
reach $4,000.
Hon Mr.. Disney takes the recent appointments at
Cincinnati exceedingly hard not grevDgoy them how
ever much the nomination and subsequent eec
ton of Mr. Linn Boyd TO - the Speaker o the last House
Of Representstives, which it viii be remembered came
rear driving him mad The wags this morning insisted
that he had almost taken the White House BY storm an
hour before the President receiving the scoldng with
commendabe good nature. But this was an gorgeous
mistake the Hon gentleman having probably only strOked
bis goatee in a grave manner at the eyen-tempered
Chief Magistrate lie is destined to be further
disappointed by the failure of Governor Wood to
get ANYTHING as within the last few days he has turned
I'D quite a Wood man, WIS opponents being those who
have carried off the prizes in his (Dlsneys) Immediate
CITY Ten t. one Wood gets nothing. AS tT tue Bra
lillian Mission that is out of the questionit is destined
10 be the prize of Governor TrOusdae, of Tenn. or
chickens we're never Matched from eggs This, IN turn
NAV get for young Judge Pratt of Cincinnati, the PoF
tugese Chargeship TO which ne aspres with what
esteem to be very blue chance of success however
Trousdeles good fortune in turn, defeats Col Folks
application for the Neapoltan Mission beyond peradven
ture as well that of Mr.. Picket whose extensive and
varied attanmeuts qualify him well for the discharge of
the functions Of an American Charge where the duties
win net require a very heavy battery of brains.
The New.YOrk (interior) appointments occupied wen
Mich e whole of the last session OF the Cabinet, many
more than half If them being agreed to am satisfied
that the rest Of the Administration left TO Governor
Marcy and the particular Cabinet officers under whom
the anpointee to serve 70 make the selection in all
those cases The Buffalo, Troy and Albany cases were
not taken ND. however Ten 70 one, VIM g. Beardsley,
ESQ., was agreed on for Postmaster at Auburn beating
Mr. T. T. Ross whose claims aud interests were IN the
hands of Mr. Geo Rathbum particularly, and generally
in those of the honorable member who represented the
Auburn District il the last House of Representatives oil
the United States. Hon. Mr.. Oliver OF the Geneva
District is the only vehement Hard left on the ground
A
en- Sofs and Burners now in Washington, he will accom-
plish nothing Peter Cagger Esq, OF Albany, Is now
on the ground busy Peter Cagger ever u.s. wherever
he may be- If he is looking through Governor Aarcys
spectacles he will straight That is, he will go his
way eventually rejoicing. If NOT his trip here will he
pro6tless of peasurabe results For repeat it here,
The Administration holding Gov Marcy responsible for
interior New-York viii refer the final decision OF every
seriously contested appointment there TO his decision
Mr. Ex-Postmaster (Of BuAaO) Dosshiemer is also
L, ON thn1a
fled at the p o. Department about two months ago
Mr. Pierre Soue will return to Washington about the
25th of the current month, apPrehend, when the ln-
strucons at the State Department, drawn up Tor the
Guidance of his policy in Madrid, will be ready for him.
Breyet It. Col Scott will probably be thenew Inspect
orGeueral of the IT, s. Army. Sr. Secretary Jefferson
Davis to the contrary Notwithstanding l Is understood
that the President anxious TO besOw TINS appointment
on Col Scott BY way of testiying his kind feelings for
that gentleman's atherinlaw General Winfield Scott,
who has probably made the request OF Genera Pierce
There was no good-hum0red feeling between Generals
Scott and TAYLOR during the last few years OF the lifetime
Of the latter which accounts IN measure Tor MIR sec
retary Davss dissemination to promoting Colonel Scott
aitertbs fashion.
The Administration exceedingly close with refer
ence to their views on the question OF submitting the
Sloos Grant Treaty to the Senate with favorable re-
comu endatiOp as to create the impression that they
NAV after all agree TO disagree to It, feel assured that
its friends conceive it quite questionable whether
they will be able to get the recommendation IN that con-
nection they desire
John NJ Gregory, Esq, of Richmond, who has prOba-
bly, been agreed the IT, s. District Attorney for the
Eastern District of Virginia, formerly Governor OF
the State pro tem having been elected It. Governor
II is quite creditable selection for he is an eminent
lawyer and a man of high character SO, also, Is the
selection of John Wiley Of Amelia, to be U. s. Mar
sha for the same District capital one no man in his
region OF the State possessing more Of public conf
dence or being better entitled to it,
From the best information at my command, am thor
oucby inclined 10 believe that the question with refer
ence to the Chargtship to Naples is principally be-
tween Mr. Augute Belmont, OF your City, and Mr. Rob
