OFFICE SEEKERS.
At the White House to-day the mum
bar of office-seekers was very large, and
of course were fortified with letters o.
introduction, recommendations, etc
from various points, and all feeling con
fdent that they would be appointed
to the positions sought by them. None
were admitted TO see the President, buI
his doors will probably be opened to the
public tomorrow, when there will be
great rush for offices. Among the office
seekers are many persons from the South
ern States, who come recommended by
Republican State Committees, but these
papers will probably have little weigh
with the President, as he is determined
to be very careful in making his appoint
meDts.
BOUTWELL,.
Mr.. Boutwell's friends now feel conf
dent that he will be appointed.
ADOLPH E. BORIE,

pany with Geo. III. Stewart, of the late
Christian Commission, called on the

yet formally accepted the Office, and 1;
is not positively kpown ths't he will dc
so.
DELANO
will not be sworn In as Commissioner
until Wednesday. Deputy Commission
er Psrnell will be retained, but the re-
port that Chief Clerk Johnson will sue

part Of the week. Toe attaches in the
revenue office have subscribed several
hundred dollars to present a watch to
Rollins as q testimonial.

cause Of the absence Of both their heads.

A SMALL BUSINESS.
Notwithstanding Solicitor Buckley
sent in his resignation to Delano several
days since, an order of dismissal was
Issued to-day as a mark of disgrace.
This petty vengeance vas also executed
through the Intervention Of Rollins,
whose hatred he incurred by attempting
to expose and remove that officer.
