tration, and the same having been received al the
State Department and accepted the rejection Oh Mr
Sanford az his successor by the Senate leaves tne

ance with the provisions Of the amended civil Tenure
net This information is positive Inregard tothe Bra
lillian Mission, in which change has been decided
upcn by the Administration, gentleman has yet
been chosen as the successor to Gen. Webb, but it is
certain that Mr.. Pile who was rejected by the Sem
ate, will not be reappointed Sanford will remain at
Brussels unless nc chooses to resign which is posi-
ble as many of his friends believe. The reconsider
Ation OF the vote in the case of Carlle for Sweden
leaves him in practically thesame condition as if he
had been rejected. Gen. Bartlett will therefore re-
main for the present the Minister to that COURT
although there are of applicants Tor MS posi-
ton. change is likely to take place during the
Summer. The Mission to the Hawaiian Islands,
left vacant by the appointment of McCook rs Gov
erpor of Colorado, and the failure OF the Senate TO
confirm Hutchinson, will also DO filed by appoint
ment as in the case Of the Spanish Mission. The
resignation of Perry as Secretary of Legation at
Madrid and the failure of the Senate to act on the
nomination of James l. Foley, leaves that place va
cant, but Gen. Sickles will probably be permitted to
choose his own secretary. In most of these cases.

considered doubtful He will probably hold over till
the next session. MARYLAND, for First Assistant
PostmasterG General, also failed for want of time 1t

reached he would have been rejected. The Hon.
VIM A. Pile nominated Minister to Brazil, and re-
octed by the Senate yesterday is still here, and his
friends are bitter in their denunciations of the SEN
ate for rejecting their fsyorite. When his name was
brought up in Executive session, yesterday evening
Senator Schurz led off in highly complimentary
speech urging immediate confirmation. Senators
Harlan and Upton followed, with a special plea in
Piles behalf as he honOred representative of
70 great Methodist Church of the country and they
thought he would do the country great service in the
Brazilian Empire. Senators Sumner and FessendeD
led the opposition. They were opposed to him only
ON the suppostion Of his not being the proper person

cred the most important Of our foreign missions,
