APPOINTMENTS IN THE New YORK CUSTOM
HOUsE.-A large number of candidates for
places in the Custom House, whose names have
been forwarded by the Collector to Washington
during the past month, called on that function
airy yesterday, expecting to be sworn into Office,
when they were politely informed that the con-
firmation of their appointments had not yet
been made at Washington. The disappointed
applicants generally took the matter very cool
ly, but some departed with loud and energetic
oaths against Secretary Cobb and the Treasury
Department
The Collector keeps his own counsel and says
nothing, never even intimating to a candidate
that he has forwarded his name to Washington
until the confirmation has been received; but
the facts will leak out, in spite of him. There is
great curiosity to know the names Of the lucky
candidates; and members of Congress, 80 soon
as it is known that the Collector has forwarded
batch of nominations, hurry on to Washing
ton and obtain copies of the lists from the
Treasury Department. As almost every Con-
gresham finds some fault with at least one of
the candidates, considerable opposition mani
tests itself and the result is that Mr.. Secretary
Cobb hangs up the list and refuses to con-
firm il, and the expectant candidates are disap-
pointed.
We have been furnished from Washington
with partial list Of the names now chung up
at the Treasury Department, some of which
have been hanging there since last February.
The List is not full but is perfect as it can be
made. The fact that the present Collector has
not the control over his own department, which
has always been accorded to his predecessors
in Office excepting Judge Bronson, who left
the Collectorship after similar difficulty with
Mr.. Guthrie) is creating much excitement
among the ''unterrifed," who are loud in their
demand to know why Secretary Cobb retains in
Office the black republicans, Know Nothings
and free soil democrats, who, it is alleged, are
plenty in. the Custom House.
The following is list of some of Mr.. Schell's
unconfrmed nominations
Harvey Hunt, James p. ShArkey,
James p. Dunn, William GrAndn.
