From Washington.


WASHINGTON, July l5.
The Senate this afternoon voted in a num-
Der OF appointments, among them the follow
ing; Daniel Kellogg, Postmaster at Brattle-
boro, VT, Helen Surgeons, Post Mistress at
Warren, 4: l., George Bancroft, Minister to
Austria. A few nominations were rejected,
principally Western Post Masters
The President, in his communication in
transmitting to the Senate copies, orders, opin-
isns, correspondence, etc., with the district
commanders in carrying out the reconstruc-
ton acts, says:-"It is exceedingly difficult at
the present time to estimate the probable ex-
pense of carrying into full effect the two acts
of March last and the bill which passed the
two Houses of Congress ON the 18th inst. II
tne existing governments of ten States of the
Union are to be disposed of, and their extern
slve machinery is to be placed under the ex-
elusive control and authority of the respective
district commanders, the expenditures incl
dent to the administration of such govern
ments must necessarily be incurred by the
Federal Government. 1t is believed that in ad-
dition to the $4,000 already expended, an es.
innate for the sum which would be required for
this purpose will not be less than $140,000000,
the aggregate amount expended prior to the
rebellion in the administration of these respec-
tive governments BY the ten States embraced
Ill the provisions Of these acts. The sum ex-
pended would no doubt be considerably aug.
be operated by the Federal Government, and
would be largely increased If the United
States, by abollshing the existing State gov
ernnlents, should become responsible for the
liabilities incurred by them before the rebel
lion, in laudable efforts to develope their re-
sources, and in no wise created for insurrcc-
tonary purposes. The debts of these States
thus legitimatey Incurred when accurately
ascertained, will, it is believed, approximate to
hundred million dollars, and they ale held
not only by our own citizens, among whom are
residents of portions of the country which
have ever remained 1oyal to the IJuion hut Inv
persons who are subjects of foreign Govern
ments. 1t is worthy the consideration of Con.
gress and of the country whether, If the Fed
eral Government by its action were to assume
such obligations, so large an addition would
not seriously impair the credit of the nation;
on tho other hand, whether the refusal of Con.
gress to guarantee the payment of the debts
of these States, after having displaced or abol-
ished these State governments, would not be
received as violation of good faith and repu-
diation, by national legislation, of the liabilities
which these States had justly aud legally in
Cured"
