The President is reported to bave
said to Senator Ross, of Kansas, that
men who have accepted office from
President johnson, during the last two

tors have not, thus far, found any favor
at the hands of the President. But the
Senate islands by its order" like the
House OF Lords ; and, out of respect to
Senator Ross, it rejected a nomination
of a Kansas postmaster. -
