WASHINGTON, Friday, April .. 1SCo.
Whether the enurc-of- Office bill has been re-
ceived by Gen. Grant with satisfaction OF disfavor,
it is pretty certain that he has decided what course
TO take in regard to appointments and removals and
the result today gives sure Indication OF his future
action. No less than 159 nominations were sent 70
the Senate to-day only few of which are to fil va
cancies. The to take the place OF officers TO
be removed The nominations were mostly to I'M
portant Offices including United States Attorneys
Marshas, Surveyors and Collectors of Customs, Co-
ectors and Assessors of Internal Revenue, Posmas-
teIs &c. 81
To-day was busy one with the politicians, but
especially with those from New-York ard Pennsyl-
vana The Civil Tenure law having been finally
disposed Of it was anticipated that the removals and
appointments to Office would begin to be made IN
earnest Accordingly, to-day the hundreds OF office
seekers, now here focked to the Capitol, and hung
around the Senate Chamber anxiously and nervously
awaiting the arrival of the Presidents Secretary
with his batch of nominations. Al about
o'clock Gen. Porter made his appearance and after
depostlng with the Senate his sealed packages OF
appointments, he repaired to the Secretarys office,
and there placed list of the same for the pnbiic
In an instant grand rush made for this Office,
and soon there was scarcely standing room therein
The reporters of the afternoon papers tried in vain
10 secure copies of the names the list, but the
hungry, anxious and eager crowds rushed in pell-
nell, and made high time generally. 1t was anus
ing TO see the expressions OF the faces of these people
after the list had been read OF course none OF the
successful candidates present, and all were dis
appointed. The score or morel persons seeking the
same Office saught their Congressman, and each de
manded explanations of the why and wherefore
| Profanity ragged among all. In the evening there
was great commotion in the hotel lobbies
| a rush was made for the evening trains
and extra cars were ordered on. The s;4C
train for New-York was packed with the most
detected, pitiful profane and demoralzed crowd Of
men that ever left this city. The New-York nomina
tions made to-day created great surprise. From al
the stories that are told, it would seem that mer
were selected not for their peculiar fitness to dis
charge the duties of the Offices in question but to sat
sfy and appease the wants and wishes of certain per
sons supposed to be the leaders and controllers Of
Republican party in the city of New-YOrk. Collepto
! Baey's opponents have prepared charges agasns
him. and viii endeayOr TO get the same before.th'
! Senate in Executive Session when the nominae'OI
| is up for consideration.
| No nominations were made for the With District
OWING 10 a quarrel there as to who shall be th'
nominee The President wants TO appoint ScanlaI
10 this District; but the objections against him wer
loud and strong here, not being a resident OF TIM
District Webster's removal from the AXAlld Dis
| triet was unlocked for.
| The subject of the territorial appointments wa
discussed in Cabinet meeting to-day and the fol
lowing nominations were decided upon and thel
will be sent to the Senate within day or two;
