WASHINGTON, June "a, 1868.


EVERYTHING remains quiet and tranquil at
the Treasury Department, and there is no
show of anybody resigning at present-not
even Radical bureau oticer-and there
are but three Conservatives of that class Of
officials in the Department, one OF them be-
ing held doubtful. There has been no nomi-
nation of an assistant secretary in the place
of MIR. Cooper, and, for the present, no like
lihood of an appointment. The applicants,
who were many, are tired of waiting, and
have ceased to prosecute their claims for
consideration. After the adjournment Of
Congress there may possibly be some
changes, but they need not be looked upon
as certain to occur.
The long-looked for nomination Of Perry
Fuller as Commissioner Of Internal Reeve
nue. has been sent to the Senate. viii it
be confirmed? 1t has been asserted that
the President would not nominate him un-
less he should bring conclusive proof of his
ability to muster enough votes to confirm.
Now the question is to be solved. That con-
frmation would be certain to cause other
changes in the personale Of the Internal
Revenue Bureau, as we'll as in the opera
tons of it's machinery. ..... 49,. .
The Democratic members of the House,
| in presenting their protest against the ad-
mission of the parties claiming to repre-
sent Arkansas, were treated with the dis
courtesy which is generally shown them in
refusal to have it read.
There is quite lively fight in this city
over the corporation Offices. The Radicals,
black and white, are chucusing and holding
ward meetings almost every night with
regard to their disposal. The colored voters
call for fair division Of the Offices, ,lnt
want good show on Pie Pie police force and in
the public schools. Whether they will gel
all they aspire to is question for future
solution.
New England, guarding her rum interests,
has been shamefully treated in the tax-bill
consideration. The large concessions claimed
have not been bestowed. Some Of the tenn
perance advocates from that section of the
universe are probably not averse to abolish
ing New England rum as q bad institution
but the revenue it yields by it's expectation to
Africa, where it aids in the civilization OF
the denizens Of that country, is too enor-
nous to be laid aside.
The nomination of Captain w. W. Moore
as postmaster of Washington city was one
particularly agreeable to the citizens, but
there are some apprehensions that he will
not be confirmed. The affection with which
Bowen is regarded by Congress prevents it.
Another thing that stands in the way is
said to be the fact that Captain Moore is an
advocate of the good old doctrine Of rota-
ton in office, which is one that would be
very hurtful to the present employees of the
post-ofice, and of course they will use all
the power they con to prevent Bowen from
being deprived Of his position. Captain
Moore is courteous gentleman, and one of
the soundest honesty and integrity. The
Senate, if it favors officials of pure charac-
ter, should not refuse to confirm his nomi-
nation. ......s so
Thad Stevens has made some assurances
to the needy clerks that he will not desert
them in their hour of trial, and intends
applying his energy-which is great, we oil
know, in matters political-in behalf OF
their clamor for O twenty per cent. increase
| of compensation. The Departments smile
again, in consequence of these assurances.
Butler says he will fight it to the death.
Look out for q row on an important sub
iect-to the general public-between the
"great Commoner and the pious and
comedy Butler.
A strong effort will be made to secure the
ratification of the treaty lately made with
the Usage Indians, by which a sale Of their
lands was effected to the Leavenworth, Law
renee and Galveston Railroad Company.
A bitter opposition to it has been made in
the House, and several very severe remarks
have been made against the commissioners.
1t is claimed by friends Of the latter that
searching investigation will be demanded
by them into the whole affair, 30 that, even
if the treaty is not ratified, their own pu-
rity of principle will be; established.
