PRESIDENT GRANT, sc.
The President has greatly simpli6ed the
routine of his duties, but il nevertheless
constantly besieged by throngs of office
seekers, and undoubtedly is one of the hard
est worked men in Washington. He con
tinues to distribute all offices of Importance
himself. The Louisiana appointment were
determined by him without consulting the
wishes of any of the politicians from that
State, and | believe that none of tho persons
appointed were endorsed By the Louisiana
Congressman, if, indeed they were even
applicants for the places to which he has
nominated them.
Hon. COLUMBUS DELASo.
The Hon. Columbus Delano, Commission.
er of Internal Revenue, has determined ss q
general rule to adopt the recommendation
of assessors in the appointment of assistant
assessors and gangers, and of collectors for
the appointment of storekeepers in the
internal revenue service. A knowledge of
this fact may be of use to the army of seek
ers after the minor Offices. as it will enable
them to come to the front with proper am
munition. He will recommend the removal
of al! the Democratic collectors and assessors
iu Ohio this week, and will probably turn
his attention to Pennsylvania next.
CIVIL TRNURE BILL.
The debate on'the civil tenure act in the
Senate Today attracted more than ordinary
attention among the politicians. and they
thron9ed the galleries during the entire
session. There is an evident inclination on
the part OF such Senators to retain as much
power as possible over the Offices of the
dovernment, and they argue that heretofore
the Senate has not cxerted all its power
over them. 1t is probable that the propo'
sition to suspend the act until the next
session of Congress will he adopted.

Rumorcd DccIinasion.

It is rumored that General Longstrest
will decline the appointment of Surveyor of
Customs at New Orleans, to which he has
been nominated by the President. The rea

motives for joining tho Republican party to
be questioned, particularly in the South
When he attached himself to that party bs

pectation os favor or reward and as his cir.

the appointment can be more appropriately

what degree of reliance Can safely bs placed
in this rumor, which rests on the authority
of a Washington letter printed in the N 7.

The Governor of Georgia in his message
to the Legislature, transmitting the fifteenth
amendment. on the 10th inst. says:
at is q source of great qualification
to the lovers of liberty and republican
principles throughout the country tha: Con.
gress has given us this further pledge that
the declaration of our fathers that "all men
are created equal" shall be recognized as a
reality, and no longer mere empty sound
The equal right of every man. either by

laws by which to he governed. and the
selection of persons to execute them, is the
very foundation of republican government;
and that one race or colcr shall undertake
to exclude from political privileges any
Other race or color, is not only practical
denial OF the principle on which our indie

Government subsequently, founded, but dis

that the accident could not have been caused

ton from entering upon its career of business
smoothly, are cow removed. The Cabinet
is complete, and while all will honor the
feeling which induced President Grant to
sacrifice something to personal friendship,
there will be general satisfaction at the final

rendered construction of the Cabinet pos

for the position of Secretary Of State, and
ais nomination was q surprise to him. He

that the difficulty has been adjusted and the

The differences, difficulties, disagree.
