GEN. LoNGsTREET's APPoINTMENT.-The
Washington correspondent of the New York
Tribune, writes in letter dated March 18th:
The case of General Longstreet nominated
as Surveyor of the Port at New Orleans, was
under consideration to-day by the Senate
Commerce Committee. 1t is understood that
a majority of the committee were opposed to
his confirmation, not especially because Gen>
eral Longstreet was leading rebel during
the rebellion, but on the ground that there
are an abundance of men who were loyal to
the Government from the breaking out of the
rebellion to the close, and who ought to be
provided for in preference to the class to
which General Longstreet belongs. The
committee. however, decided to report his
name to the Senate without recommendation,
and let that body take such action as they
may think proper. There are many Senators
VINO are IN favor of confirming all of Presi-
dent Grants nominations on general princi-
pies. 1t! II; expected that the Southern SEN
ators Will make sharp fight against Long
streets confirmation.

Trouble About the Offices.

The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger thus writes of the result
of the interviews of the managing politicians
with the President
The politicians are alarmed at the DISPOSE
ton manifested by the President, to select
men for Office without regard to the opinions
of political leaders, and therefore, they form
themselves into State delegations in the ma
ture of State agencies, whose alleged purpose
is to prevent a rupture between the Execu-
tive and Legislative branch of the Government
over the distribution of patronage. They
are to keep continual pressure on the Presi-
dent on the one side, and the Senate on the
other, until their objects are gained. Thus
far they claim that the plan has worked well
with certain delegations that have visited the
White House.
a Maryland delegation called on the Pre-
sident yesterday, and suggested how and to
whom he should dispense the Federal patron
age, and the President replied that he agreed
in general with the suggestions made, but
that he had one special friend for whom he
wished to provide goood Office in Baltimore;
and that with the aid of Postmaster General
Cresswell he would endeavor to dispose of the
remainder of Federal offices in Maryland
satisfactorily, he hoped.
A Delaware delegation also visited the
President, with the slate of the Federal Off
GERS of that State fixed up. The President
informed them that he would endeavor to
parcel out the Offices to the satisfaction of his
friends

The Two TIoKETs.-The Administration
ticket, headed by General Walker, has made
great inroads upon the ultra Radical ticket,
headed by Governor Wells. We learn that
more than half the State Executive Committee
appointed by the Petersburg or Wells Con-
vention are in favor of the Walker ticket
This fact, when first brought to the knowledge
of the ultras, created great CONSERVATION
The ravages of dissatisfaction" are like the
undermining operations of the Mississippi,
which causes the shore to rise and fall, and
the trees to wave in the breeze, premonitory
to their general precipitation to the bottom Of
the waters.
There is really nothing left in the way of
opposition to the Administration ticket save
the bankrupt advertising; and this places
Wells very much in the light of the bankrupt
candidate. If the commissioners in bank
ruPtoy were to change their views, and propose
change of advertising medium, in ten hours
there would not be sign of opposition to tho
Administration Republican ticket in the Re-
publican party.-RtchmOnd Dispatch.

~ The Detroit Post, a Radical paper, OBJ
jects very much to the deputations which are
sent to Washington, to make eongratu!atory
addresses to the President, aud thinks he
ought to have some protection " from the
annoyance. 1t says:
Each new President receives the same
fiattery, ap.l is bored with the same simlets.
Gimlets. did we say may, the very augers
of buncombe are employed, every fourth
year, by similar delegations, squads, and sim
gle persons, if possible to tap through the new
President the fountains of official patronage.
For all this mcans-.office. Having delivered
their congratulations, a delegation retires, and
for the next four years, the President fnds
the names of the gentlemen composing it in-
scribed confidently upon recommendations Of
this man and that for Office. OF course the
President understands the dodge. 1t is the
most palpable humbug on both sides, and the
most awful bore on one side, at least, and. we
suspect, good deal CT L; bore on the other
side also"

BEAST BUTLER STRATEGY.-A Wash-
ington letter says =
The other day one of the numerous horde
of otfice>seekers that now infest the town ap-
piled to him for Recommendation" 4
really desire your success" replied the hero
Of Fort Fisher, 'and therefore cannot COM
ply with your request. | recommend those
do not want appointed, which know will
undoubtedly secure their rejection. l will,
however, do you the signal favor of siren
uopsly demonstrating against your appoint
ment at the proper department. AT the same
time l will procure you favorable letters from
men esteemed by Grant as his friends par
excellence. Their recommendations may do
as the subterfuge, but my 'remonstrance' will
SECURE you the place." The ignoramus to
whom this sensible proposition was made failed
to perceive the subtlety of the .tfHesse, and
foolishly blabbed. The ruse of Butler in this
and other similar cases being thus exposed,
must, therefore, prove hereafter Intellectual.
Such is modern craftsmanship
General Grant is understood to have had
a plain talk day or two since with Mr.. Ed
munds, of Vermont the leader of the civil
tenure suspenders in the Senate. He told
Mr.. Edmunds that the civil tan4re Law ought
to be repealed; and if it was not, be would
not make single appointment except to fill
actual vacancies. Yet Edmunds returned to
the Senate, and helped en- the deadlock be-
tween the friends of General Grant and those
who are afraid to trust him! The letter
writers from Washington report other CONVEX
sations of General Grant on the subject agree
ing entirely With what he is said to have re-
marked to Edmunds.
Orders have been received from Wash
ington, at the United States armory at Spring
field, Mass, to begin the manufacture of a
new model of breech leaders, and to turn out
FIVE hundred per day.

Alexandria, Loudoun & Hampshire
Railroad.

A renewed interest has been recently awak-
ened in behalf of this road, and there are
now the brightest prospects of pushing it for
ward to an early completion. Last week a
large meeting was held in Washington, COM
posed of the business men of that city and
Geor 5etown, at which it was determined to
submit bill to Congress, to empower the cor
porate authorities of Washington. to subscribe
100000, and those of Georgetown, $780,
600, to the capital stock of the road.
At this meeting, Lewis Mckenzie, esq,
the President of tho road, who was present,
said that it might not be thought modest in
him to ask leave to say word, but in order
that the committee ght properly understand
the facts in regard to the Loudoun road, it
was probably proper for him to say that ar
Engagements are in progress for the speedy
completion of the road to Winchester,
50 miles from Washington, and it is the fur
Their intention of the company to ask, soon
as the Legislature of Virginia meets, to change
the name of the road to that of 1.-THE Washing
ton and Cincinnati railroad" the ultimrte
destination of the road being to the Ohio riv>
err, at some point near Point Pleasant, West
Virginia, which will make the route from Gin
cnnatl TO New York, through washington
city, from 100 to $50 miles shorter than by
any other route. This project will not be
consum mated through any unkindness to the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. There is room
for all. 1t is for the people of the District to
say whether they will continue to talk, or
whether they will act. The time has arrived
when the most liberal views should prevail
Congress would soon adjourn, and what was
to be done should be done quickly.
In answer to question of one of the com
mittee Mr.. Reuben johnson, Secretary of the
Alexandria, I4oudoun aud Hampshire Com
pany, stated that should the subscription of
Washington and Georgetown be made to the
stock of the road, it would give the cities
controlling power among the stockholders.

A Soldiers Opinion of HAYES.
REEprows. O. Oct 3 1869

REEDfowE, o., Oct. 3, 1862
EDITORS TRIBUSE:-I wish you to inform
that poor miserable scamp who started tha
report about Gen. Roseerans collaring Gov
ernor Hayes for misconduct while in com.
mand of the 23d Reg, that he is not vel
posted. Gov. Hayes never bad command Of
the 23d Reg, until Gen. Rosecrsns was re-
lieved in West Virginia, and had gone to
Tennessee. When he was relieved, Gen.
Scammon, then Colonel of the 23d, was pu-
in command of brigade, and Hayes in COM
mand Of the 23d Regiment.
Furthermore, served little over four
years under Gov. Hayes, and don't believe
that any oae Of his superiors ever had any
cause to reprimand him TOR the least neglect
of duty whatever. For q prompter, uobler,
braver man never mounted horse
he was kind and very pleasant to all of his
subordinate officers, whether irritated or not
and never gave soldier a harsh word on
any occasion whatever; and if a soldier went
10 him with request or complaint he al
ways found time to listen to what he had to
say. He always used private soldier with
as much courtesy az be did those who were
shoulder straps with stars on them.
He is : perfec: gentleman, kind and oblig.
ing to all, every day alike. I don't believe
he would do wrong act knowingly any
sooner than he would cut his own throat.
Yours, &c,
