The Foreign Appointments.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-The Secretary of State
is busy to-day arranging the list of the more
important diplomatic and consular appoint
ments, which will be sent to the President as
SOC n as completed.
The Civil Tenure ONCE Bill
is not yet signed, but will be, aud notification
thereof probably sent to the House to-day. 1t
is now discovered that the Senate got the ad.
vantage of the House, in the compromise on
the bill agreed upon by the conference CON-
mittee. 1t is regarded by eminent lawyers who
have carefully examined it as less of repeal in
its present shape than was at first supposed.
Cuban Outrages.
The disturbed condition of fairs in Cuba
and the recent proclamation Of Dulce relative
to vessels found inSCuL an waters, is giving rise
to considerable discussion in Government
circles. The Secretary of the Navy has taken
precautions to have large force placed in
Cuban waters to watch after American iuter-
ests. The capture of the Mary Powell, an
American ship, has quickened the Department
10 greater interest in affairs IN that section,
and Admiral Hof, commanding the North At
Iantic Squadron has been instructed to demand
full repar&tion in case he finds that the capture
of this vessel was un warranted.
The Signs of the Times
all point to the final adjustment of the difficulty
between Congress and the President relative to
the Tenure of Office bill. The large batch Of
nominations sent in yesterday is considered
conclusive proof of the signature of the Presl-
dent being affixed to the new law. As conse-
sequence, the return of the birds who fly hither
for plunder was visible last night.
A Number Of Pennsylvania Politicians
were put out of their agony yesterday. William
R. Leeds was nominated for Collector of the
Second district, position worth $4,000 year.
He is Chairman of the City Executive Commit
Tee, and is a ward politician of some influence
The appointment was made solely by Hon.
Charles O'Neill. George G. Evans in the Third
district was also sent 10, at the request of Hon.
Leonard Myers.
The United States Marshal
for the Eastern district of Pennsylvania was
agreed upon at the Cabinet meeting yesterday,
although the name was not sent to the Senate,
Mr.. John A. Ely, of Bucks county, is the man.
He was merchant at Third and Arch streets,
in your city. He failed there and moved to
Bucks county. He was compromise candi.
date, and supported by both the Senators.
The Assistant Treasurership
of the United States at Philadelphia was given
to George Eys.er, of Franklin county. He is a
brother-in law of Senator John Scott. TAat is
his only claim to the post. Much regret is ex-
pressed that MIR. Alexander p. Colesberry was
not selected, as he was supported by the money
interests of Philadelphia
Director of the Mint
has been given to Ex-Governor James Pollock.
1t was asked for George H. Stuart, ESQ.,, and
there is little or no doubt but that his name will
20 in to-day.
The POstmastership
of Philadelphia will be given for another four
years to General Henry II. Bingham, the pre-.
sent incumbent. He is supported by both the
Senators and all the members, while he is re-
commended by all the leading citizens. This is
a deserved reward to the best Postmaster Phila
deIphia has ever had, and his removal would
have caused the utmost regret.
Much Disgust
is felt and expressed here with the number OF
countrymen who have been given places in the
philadelphia Custom House. The positions are
purely local, and why so large proportion OF
the offices should be given to strangers is sub
iect of much comment. Mr.. Goodrich, who Is
surveyor, comes from Chester county. Gov
ernor Pollock is also from the interior, although
he is good man. Mr. Eyster is the same Mr.
Ely the same. From present appearances all
the Pennsylvania appointments will be con-
cuded in few days.
