WASHINGTON, March 23.
AppraIser at G,mrRe.

AppEHIAeE AS LArR9s
LOrin Blodget, Esq, has been confirmed by
the Senate as United States Appraiser at Large.
The appointment of Mr.. Blodget is well deserved,
and will CRAFTY his many friends in Philadel-
pha and Washington, in b til of which cities he
is well and favorably known.
The Views Of the President.
part of the Connecticut delegation remained
over yesterday, and had another interview with
President johnson. He frankly admitted his
seneitiveness on the point of having had the
Union triumph in New Hampshire heralded as a
defeat of the Presidential policy. He knew diff
ferenccs OF opinion existed, and he was willing
to tolerate them. While earnestly desiring the
success of his own peculiar views, yet he had
never had any other thought than to fight out
these differences in the Union party, AMI not
out of il; and he had never, by word or deel,
knowingly given any one occasion to suppose
him in favor of a restoration to power of the
corrupt disloyal party which had vihfed and
opposed him during all the dark days of the
war. He asserts that the effort making in Con-
neCtcut TO represent the Administration as
hostile to the success of the Union Hawley
ticket. and desirous for the triumph of English,
are totally untrue. The statement that the
Federal ofIlceholders in that State have been in
any wise influenced or directed adversely to
General Hawley is equally false. The inter-
view of Mr.. Foster and General Hawley yester-
day lasted nearly two hours; and yet this morn
ing's Latelagenoer has the hardihood to assert
that General Hawley failed to get an interview
with the President. This paper is pronounced
by the leading Copperhead journals in Conuec-
ticut, for their own purposes as "the Admins
tration organ;" and by such audacious and sys-
tematic Justification does it hope to aid the
cause of its friends, the Copperheads in Con-
nectcut
Irish Bonds.
The Superintendent of the Fenian Bond
Agency in this city states that during the month
past sales oil bonds of the Irish Republic have
been made amounting to $4,000. The bonds
sold ere mainly of the twenty dollars denomi-
nation.
QRantreIl.
The supposed guerilla Quantrel, brought
hither from New York, has been visited by
nearly hundred persons, with view to his
positive Identification. Parties are daily ex-
pected here from Kansas who know him init
mately and who suppose mistake Of his iden-
tity impossible.
Important Naval Movement.
1t is understood that orders have been issued
for the immediate fitting out of a flying squad
ron for duty on the British North American
coast Various reasons are assigned for this
movement. One Is the assembling of the British
West India fleet at Halifax. Another Is the
Fenian scare Still another is the termination
of the Reciprocity treaty and the effect on our
Fisheries. There is one thing certain: we shall
have fne fleet in the Eastern waters, capable
of taking care of our interests in that quarter
1t will probably equal the English fleet in
strength.
Mayor ROzIer.
The new Mayor of New Orleans Mr.. Rozer,
Just appointed by General Candy, was member
of the Secession Convention. He did not vote
for separate secession, but was very violent aiId
abusive OF Lincoln and Hamlin, and the North
ern Abolitionists. He remained In New Orleans,
but refused to take the amnesty oath, because OF
its reference to slaves. Until the surrender of
Kirby Smith he was chairman of the committee
which called the last Democratic Convention,
which asked compensation for slaves
Southern Pensions.
Attorney-General Speed has given an opinion
sustaining the recent decision of the Commis
sioner of Pensions as to the right OF Revolu.
tionary pensioners restored to the rolls OF the
Southern pension agencies on proof of continued
loyalty throughout the Rebellion, All pen.
sioners thus restored will now receive their pen
sions from the date of their last payment on the
former certificates, without interruption, by
direction of the Secretary of the Interior.
Payment for the period from the 16th of
August, 1861, to the date of completing the
proof of loyalty, was suspended while awaiting
tho opinion of the Attorney General, which is
adopted by the Department. After referring to
the terms and import of the act of February A,
1862 directing the names of all disloyal persons,
and those who have at any time manifested a
sympathy with the Rebel cause, to be stricken
from the rolls, the Attorney General ssys;-
by this act Congress has sought TO be just TO all
those pensioners Of the Government who shalt re-
main faithful and true; and without any fault OF
theirs they must be regarded as public enemies As
enemies, all intercourse with them under the laws OF
war, by the act OF Congress and the proclamation
made IN pursuance thereof was SUSPENDED; but by
the act OF 4th OF February, 1862, their rights are
saved, and when intercourse became lawful their
right TO demand payment was revived, and 1t be-
came the duty of Government to pay"
General Grant ShOFn.
Lieutenant-General Grant, who, during the
war, was bearded like IA pard, but whose whis
kers were invariably kept neatly cropped, in ac-
cordance with the rules of military etiquette,
to-day appeared on the street completely shorn
of his facial hirsute appendage. Photographers
will undoubtedly be rejoiced to learn of the
change in the personal appearance of the Lieu
tenant General.
