PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS.
NEW YORK, August 1S.-The attorney general
has nearly completed an elaborate opinion in re-
gard to the authority of the President to appoint
to Office, during the recess of Congress, persons
who have been rejected by the Senate. The point
has been raised to contest the Presidents authority
in this respect. The attorney general will show
by an exhaustive argument that both the law and
practice, since the foundation Of the government,
affirm the existence Of this prerogatiye with the
Executive. Affidavits have been filed at the ex-
ecutiye department, charging Cuthbert Bullitt,
United States marshal of Louisiana, with compile
ity in cotton frauds in that State.
The drafts in payment of the awards made to
the captors of the assassins Booth, Atzezroth,
Payne and Harold, are now ready for delivery to
the claimants at the treasury office. The whole
sums amount to about $4,000. -
The new Gustom-house built in Charleston, S.
c., which was destroyed during the war, has been
contracted for. 1t will cost about 100000.
Since the termination of the war the contract
ing engineer board of the treasury department
have planned for an expenditure of five millions
in the repairs and construction of public buildings
South.
