From Our Special Correspondent
ALBANY, Feb. 5, 1868.
An unexamped crowd Of visitors has filed the
hotels and other public places of Albany to over.
flowing during the present week. The election of
United States Senator brought many of these stran-
gers but s,ill larger number came in consequence
Of the expected action of he Canal Board, which
me, yesterday for the purpose of making its ap-
pointments for the year. This meeting occasioned
more than the usual degree of excitement, in conse-
quence Of rumor which had existed for some time
that the large patronage OF the Board was TO be dis
pensed in the interest Of the party opposed to the
National Administration. This OF course Implied a
detection the part Of one or more OF the members
of the Board. in which, as 1t was originally consi-
tuted the Republicans aud Union men together had
a majority Of three. The names Of Secretary Of
State Ballard and State Treasurer Lewis have been
freely mentioned az those who were likely to act
with the Democrats against the Union party.
The action OF the Board yesterday has justified
these REPORTS to Ii nited extent. The appoin ments
have been skillfully divided equally as possible
between the two parties, and the consequence IL
that nobody except the favored appointees tneri'
selves il entirely satisfied. But the die being cast.
be crowd Of interested visitors has disappeared. Ii
ANYTHING can BE- said on behalf of Mr.. Ballard the
Secretary Of STATE, who up 70 tue time OF the cleo
ton had always acted with the Democrats Mr..
Lewis who took prominent part with the Re
publicans IN the lsst Presidential election, would
reem 10 be entirely without apology FOR his course.
