Gov Bradford as Surveyor of Customsfor Baltimore,
but no result was reached. Much time was
also spent in the case of Rousseau for tho
vacant Brieadiership in the Regular Army; but
his case again goes over for future action. Many
of the Senators annoyed ana mpa-
tent at the want of decisive action of the
majority, and affirm that il business is not disposed
of more rapidly, the Senate must remain in session.
during the whole Summer As an evidence of tho
large amount of work yet to do it is stated that re-
Gently there were over two hundred post-ofices at
one time without head, the duties of the Offices
being wholly performed by clerks or outsiders.
1t was given ont authoritativcly yesterday that q
large number of important nominations would ba
sent to the Senate to-day, but from some cause or
other none of importance were communicated. mo
reason assigned for the delay is that the PRESIDENT
has changed his tactics in regard to appointments
since the Connecticut election, and accordingly
another set of names are being prepared. As an
evidence Of this several Members of Congress called
upon the President and Secretaries to-day 10
ascertain when certain Names which had been
promised, would be sent to the Senate. They were
informed that the persons they had indicated who
were out-and-ont Republicans, would not now be-
appointed The members somewhat aston
ished at the announcement but they were given to-
understand that the policy of the Administration IN
this particular had been changed. There has beeD3
ut no time during the past Winter, larger numbeH
of olice-seekers at the White House than since the
Connecticut election, and men who were promseH
interviews and appointments before the election are
now compelled to leave the mansion without seeing
the President, while they are superseded by thosS
having claims from the Copperheads of that
State Secretary Seward stated to an EX-SENATOR
within the last p hours, that ex-senator Fosters
name would 20 TO the Senate as Minister to AustrJ
some day this week. There are quite a number on
applicants for the position, but the recent election M
Connecticut nsuTes the place for the ex-senator liz
was reported around the Senate Chamber to-day that
Foster took part in the election, but that hlS
friends voted for English It's the intention Of many
Senators TO require some statement Of his
opinions before he can receive their support.
The Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs had1
under consideration again to-day the Russian treaty.
| and discussed it for two hours without coming to-
! any conclusion. The matter will be resumed ut tho
next meeting and will be finally disposed of for this
session.
