Hon. JoHNA. RAMON, who has lust en-
tered upon his duties as First Assistant
Postmaster General, is not from Illinois, as
has been stated, but from che State of Iowa.
In that State he has earned the reputation
Of an accomplished legal gentlemen and an
astute politician. He was delegate to the
Chicago Convention, and took prominent
part in its deliberations. Several wears Of
his professional life were spent in the South,
and he married his esteemed and accomplish.
ed lady in this city, who is the sister Of Hon.
Mr.. Eliot, M. @. from Massachusetts,. His
friends predict that he will prove most
agreeable and accomplished officer. The
gentlemen from Iowa, who are his warm
friends, complimonted him with a sercnade
and speech few evenings since.
WANTS SOMETHING. Gov. Charles Rob
inson, of Kansas, so noted during the politi-
Jcal troubles Of the Territory, is an applicant
for the Comhissionership, of the General
Land. Office, the Office most difficult to gil
properly for the public interest, as wall as
perhaps the at pres96t b6st filed Office, for
the public interest. Besides Mr.. Robinson
there are forty ovf Gay ether aspirants for
the same position. ,y s' t .0iri

that Charles Clark, Esq, of Maine, has re.
ceived the appointment ofU. s. Marshal for
that State-an appointment likely to be
most acceptable there, as he has proved him
self an officer Of much efficiency in variou,
positions of responsibility heretofore.
A BATCH of nominations was sent in to
the Senate to-day for confirmation, it is un
derstood, but the debate upon the Foste
resolution flor the expulsion Ex-senator Wig
fall) bids fair to be y protracted one, ant
the Senate will hardly be able to go into OK
tra session until late hour.

retary Of the Navy.
