A Presidential Trip This morning the
President, accompanied BY Mrs. Pierce and
her relative, Mrs. Smith, Of New Hampshire,
s.ner., Cas-, the Secretary Of the Navy, and
HI. private Secretary, Mr.. Sidney Webster
embarked at an early hour on the United States
steamer engineer, at the Washington navy
yard, for Old Point Comfort, where the party
propose to remain until Tuesday or Wednes-
day next, s1journing, of course, at Wizards
ere hotel during their visit there. ,-
The Nebraska and Kansas Appointments
were made yesterday, and nominated to the
Senate, after we went to press. We have only
space and time to add that our indications as
to the three most important of them IAN
nounced yesterday were certainly correct.
A Convocatiol Of ofheials.-We find in
" ashington to-day, the Hon. Mr., Redden,
Naval Store keeper at Portsmouth, N. H.; Mr..
Delavan, ditto, at Now York; Mr.. Swackham-
| uer, Navy Agent at the same point; and Capt.
A. Day, ditto, at Philadelphia. We presume
that they have been called hither officially
! By the by, as we find here also our old friend,
| Elijah F. Puidy, Esq, now Grand Sachem of
Tammsny Hall, we take it for granted that
while here Messrs. Delavan and Swackhsmner
will, in connection with him, take hand in
the cohoodlipg" about the appointment Of
successor to Charles O'Connor, who was not
nominated to the Senate, ere the President
left Washington this mo: ming.
Acting Secretary Of the Navy -Chas. w.
Welsh, Esq. has been appointed acting Sec'e-
tary of the Navy during the absence Of Score.
| tary Dobbin. Mr.. Welsh will, NO doubt, ELL
the position with much credit.
The Sandwich Islands. Our highly es-
eemed friend "Ion,' of the Baltimore Sun,
in that journal of this morning. anticipates
that the next arrival from the Sandwich
Islands, will bring q treaty of annexation.
We have to say In this matter that we cannot
earn that such is the impi essic of any one
resumed 10 know the secrets of the United
states government in connection with such
fairs. We therefore doubt whether any
q gctiations whatever on the subject have
recently taken place. The last sdvices from
honolulu, as We mentioned when they arrived,
created the impression in Washington that all
movements on the subject had been aban-
Toned, at least for the time being, by those
supposed to lie able to bring about such .
result.
AHeavy Appropriation amount voted
yest rday by the House to pay for the bool .
| ordered 10 be distributed among the present
members of the body was Sl995OO 81. The
amount requisite to pay for the books to 90 to
| he eighteen new members of the Senate will
swell that sum to an aggre gate of 1921. 600
Ths Nebraska and K .nsas Nomi aess.-It is
bought in Washing on that the following are
m g the slate" Mr.. Furguson. of Michigan,
Chief Justice Of Nebrnskp; Messrs. Elmore Of
Ma, Hardin, of Ga and Bradley, of La Porte,
Ind, Associate Judges. We cannot learn
where these lat are to be located.
General Avfrage-In a case recently sub
mitted for decision, in which the United States
vas a party, it was held that in conformity
sith decisions of the highest courts in COM
! nercial States, and the opinion of the best au
| horities, including Chancellor Kent, the Law
| is considered as settled. th at goods shipped on
leck contribute, if saved; but if lost By jstti.
| t,n. they are not entitled to the benefit of
general average.
Tia Proposed Recess The two or three
last very hot days have wonderfully increased
he disposition of members of the House to
| have a recess. From the complaints made by
more or less of them concerning the weather,
We should not be surprised, if, after all, the
'enate's proposition for recess to commence
| on or about the 18th proximo be agreed to.
The President and Suite remain tonight
at Piney Point.
