Special Dispatch to The n. 7. Tribune.
WASHINGTON. March 81 l357.
II will delend upon the President ~he her Kan
sas gets prece ience in the Cabinet meeting TO
morrow over the New-York appointments, az PEE
yiously arranged. Mr. Buchanan Is inclined to
have the KaDsss matter settled, as il is the
most embarrassing; aud as Gov. Geary is here,
there is every reason for proDp. conclusion. AS
vet 10 decision las been indicated aud the Presi-
cent tbi1ks there is an excellent opening for the
reh. man to distinguish himself. The prncipa
cause Of Gov. Gesrys retirement was not beng
sustained by the late Admipis;r ration according t.
i,s assurances and real zlDg m5arrassments in the
Territory consequent upon that failure, and the
knowledge TIA. support was withheld by the Gov
eminent. Gen. Orvie Clark % New-Iork is
strongly recommended for the poet and his pol:i-
cal relations render his selection acceptable to the
South. Mr Harrison of Kentucky is also suggested,
but not urged ly any important influence
After much canvAssDg the following members
yesterday recommended s. +. ButterSorth for
Collector Of New. York: Messrs. Cochrane, Ward,
Seeker, Msc'ay, Hsskins, Hatch and Corning.
Mr.. Clark also wrote general letter indorsing mis-
character and integrity.
Secretary Cobb's jealous support of Augustus
Schell gives him certain advantage, and his ap-
pointment would net occasion surprise. The other
appointments depend upon the turn the Collector
sbip may take, as the existence of both factions is
to be recognized in the distribution, though this
main fact is earnestly dIsclamed by the President.
