Nominations.
The nomination of Provisional Governor
Johnson, Of Georgia, as Minister TO B5gota,
will, it is said, be followed his week by the
appointment Of two other Provisional Gsy-
ernors TO important positions. It is not
probable that they will be confirmed by thu
Senate, as Holden cannot tahe the lest oath,

sent to the SeAate By the President. 1t is
AaE improbable that many Of them will fail
Of confirmation, owing to the little time al
lowed by tho Senate to investigate their
character.
The President stated to-day that he would
send into the Senate a nomination for a
naval officer, vice Odell, deceased. There is
a number of New York politicians looking
for it, but it is not certain VIA villa be ap-
