BALTIMORE, April LIS p. m.
The Baltimore appointments, 20 far a. they have
been promulged, meet with hearty, cordial, and
almost universal disapprobation by the Z" great
IN asa. Of the Democrats Of Baltimore. causing the
cauldron to boil and bubble to an extent almost
unprecedented. The President stated in his in
augura that he would be controlled in his appoint
ments by the wishes of ssthe Masses" but 90 far
a. Baltimore is concerned private friendships ap-
pear to have influenced every thing. The Mayor
of Baltimore, with the Presidents of both branches
of the City Council, and a large committee from
the Board of Trade of Baltimore, assured the Pres
dent that nine out of ten of citizens desired the
appointment Of Colonel Jacob G. Davies as Collec
tor to the performance of the duties of which post
he was peculiarly fitted. The foregone conclusion
of the President based on private friendship, has,
however, it ia believed, given the post to ex.
Governor Thomas.
The second best Office in the Gift of the PEST
dent, that of Naval Officer, worth $ 900 per an.
mum, has been given to John KettlewelI, who GER
tainly bad no Baltimore influence for the post
The appointment of Colonel Polk as Surveyo:,
who was backed for the post by no one but his
son-in-law, Governor Lowe, ia equally unpalata.
Bile. To j. H. Briscoe, as Naval Agent. there
seems to be no objection; but the rumored appoint
ment of Jervis Spence District Attorney will
create a storm il perfected
The rumored appointment of Major Watkins a.
Marshal indicates that ex Governor Thomas has
influenced the President in other appointments
beside that awarded to himself.
Colonel Davies will, it is probable, accept the
post office; but his friends, among whom are in
cluded the bone and sinew of the Democracy. con-
slider that great injustice has been done them as
well as him.
All this quarrelling the Offices affords rich
fund of amusement to the Wings, who care very
little to who is successful. The argus yester-
day afternoon growled audibly over the matter,
and says that "the people of Baltimore will be slow
10 believe that their prominent friends have been
thus oversaughed BY aspirants from the country
The editor was an applicant for the surveyorship,
and certainly deserved something.
