Tho Nominations Shortly before NJ.
to-day, large number Of nominations were
sent in to the Senate. They immediately
went into Executive session, and confirmed
several of them, it Is understood with out refer.
snoe to committee. The short time Left them
ere the session terminates leads MS to conclude
that by nightfall all of them will have been
finally disposed Of -. LID SO.
Our impression is that among those already
confirmed is the nomination Of Phillip Clay.
ton, Esq, for eight years past Second Auditor
of the Treasury, to be Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury, vice Peter G Washington, Esq
Mr.. Clayton IL from Georgia, and from his
youth up has been the immediate personal
friend Of tho present Secretary. Mr.. Wash
ington, who was selected by Mr.. Guthrie for
the position, had previously had very close
business and personal relations with that dis
tinguishsd gentleman, the Office being one re .
curing the most confidential personal asso-
Citations between its incumbent and the Chief
of the Department.
Mr. Warrington won In the position most
snviable fame for himself, while Is long rs the
Government lasts the public will surely be ben.
Gifted by the many reforms and improvements
In the transaction of the Departments affairs of
which he was the author. No more efficient
and competent functionary than Mr.. W. ever
served the Government of the United States.
Our old friend, John s. Cunningham, Esq :.
late a clerk in the Navy Department, is in
luck, Thousands will be glad to hear in all sec.
tions of the Union; for he is as widely known
to the public men of the country, as he is POI :
ular with them, Of all parties. he was to day
nominated and confirmed to be Purser in tie
Navy. We always did bet on the gallant COL
