The Government omees.


We find the following in relation to the
offices in this State in the WILMINGTON
Commercial:
The Government offices for this State
are eliciting general interest, and there is
considerable desire to learn who will be
the ins and the outs. A delegation of Re-
publicans were in Washington on Satur-
day week and had an interview with Pres
dent Grant, who informed them, that in
every case he would require the appoint
ments to be recommended by the heads of
departments but that he should also in
every case personally examine the papers
Of those recommended, and as far as may
be, their record, and the character of the
men who vouched for them" The inter-
view was entirely satisfactory. The fol-
lowing appointments were agreed upon,
which are to be nominated to and confirm
ed by the Senate, viz: U. S. Assessor,
Col. Dan. Woodall, of Camden, in the
place of Geo. B. Dickson, the present in
cumbeut. Mr. Benz. Burton, of Milton,
was also strongly recommended for this Of
fee, but the powers that be-" in view of
the Colonefs military record, have selected
him. He was wounded five ti,ues during
the war, starting ii its commencement as
Corporal and resigned at its close with the
rank of Brevet Brigadier General.
For U, S. Collector, Dr. j S. Pretty
man, of Milford, in the place of G. H. B.
Day. The numerous friend, of Mr.. Jump,
of Dover, strongly pressed the claims ol
that gentleman, who would have made q
good officer, but DR.. P. was thought tc
have the stronger claim. 1t will be re.
membered that he was appointed Consul tt
Glasgow, Scotland, by President Lincoln
in '6l, but, through the neglect of Judgt
Fisher, it is said, the appointment WA.
never confirmed by the Senate After be.
ing in Glasgow nearly year another mar
was appointed and confirmed to the Con.
sulate, and the Doctor was compelled tt
return home.
There are number of appointments tt
be made. For Collector of the port O
Wilmington, there are three applicants
Lewis Thompson, Col. j. w. Andrews
and DR.. Nolen. 1t is now filed by T. +
Crawford, Democrat The light-hous,
keepers, &c. are appointed through this of
; fee. For Postmaster at Wilmington ther,
/. are two applicants, Col. Grimshaw ant
Lieut.. Lewis. 1t is now occupied by Capt
j. M. Barr. Several appointments hav,
, been virtually made for Postmasters, viz
, for Newark, Mr., E. B. Collins; at Mid
| dletown, Daniel L. Dunning; at Delawar
City, George A Clark at Dover, Johl
b. Smith DR.. w. G. Davidson is an an
plicant for the Milford office.
For U. S. Marshall there are severa
applicants, Mr.. Aiken, the former incum
bent Lieut.. Dunn and j. w. Hawkins Th
office is now filled by Jos. Seal, Democrat
$ For District Attorney there are said t
be three applicants, Judge Layton, A
Higgings and H. w. Draper. John b
r Pennington, Democrat now holds the Of
: fee.
b Gen. Torbert, it is understood is an ar
IT plicant for the Office of Minister to Poi

The difficulty in Congress over the Ten
ure-of-ofice Act Is still in abeyance. A
new bill was reported in the Senate on
"Wednesday. and passed by vote of 81 to
Is. which yields everything, except the & :
nal assent Of the Senate to the Presidents
appointments. The new bill gives the
President control over his Cabinet, and
power 70 suspend officials during recess
and appoint others until:the meeting Of the
Senate. Such suspension and appoint
ments must be reported upon the reassemb-
ling Of the Senate, for its concurrence |;
but the reasons therefor need not be COM
municated. During the sessions absolute
removals cannot be made, but nominations
may bc sent in. The bill goes to the
House for concurrence.
President Grant has been both for and
against the substitute, NJ the matter has
been presented to him by Mr.. Trumbull o,
Gen. Butler The correspondent of the
n, X. World, says As to the chance.
ofany such thing, or Of anything else thar
repeal, going through that body, thu
prospect is very meagre. There are al
sorts of rumors that the House will concur
but General Butler claims to have seventy
Republican and tifty-seven Democrat,
votes pledged to repeal, first, last, and al
che time. No reliable calculator expect
but that the House will non-concur, an,
that committee Of conference will be tn
next thing in order.
The President sent number of nomi
nations to the Senate, Wednesday, anon,
them General Giles A. Smith, to be Sec
ond Assistant Postmaster General, Nose
II. Grinnell, Customs Collector at New
York, and Simon j. Slime, Revenue Col
lector for he Tenth Pennsylvania District
The nomination of Henry d. Moore, a
Customs Collector for Philadelphia, wa
confirmed.

Peninsular Consolidation.

The Baltimore Gazette makes the fol-
lowing sportive allusion to our little State
in connection with this subject:
1t is well known fact that an ant can
carry burthen many times heavier and
many times larger than itself, and that AN
anaconda or Kilkenny cat can swallow an
object three or four times the size of its
own head, But for power OF deglutition
the Blue Hens Chicken, as the State of
Delaware is styled, stands unriyalled.
This little State actually proposes to take
into its arms or NAV all the rest Of the
Peninsula upon which it is situated. 1t
contains about twenty-one hundred square
miles, and it wants to annex nearly five
thousand. Its hundred and twelve thou
sand Inhabitants are bent upon gobbling
up one hundred and seventy-one thousand.
1t is composed Of three counties. and is
making preparations to walk of with nine
counties from Maryland and Two from Yir-
ginia. One branch of its Legislature has
passed an act providing for the holding OF
IA Convention i'll Dover on the first of May
to consider the matter. This Convention
is to be composed Of delegates from the
Eastern Shore counties OF Maryland and
Virginia, and from the State Of Delaware.

Ma. EDrroR:-Many methods have been
suggested by many persons of obtaining
funds to pay off our State debt. all of which
thus far have failed to meet the appreciation
of the people. Human laws, we know,
are never perfect-we do not pretend to
suggest plan better than others, or that
will be satisfactory; we will offer our opin-
ion among others, and if anything can be
made of it, we'll: if not, there will be at
least no harm done. In laying taxes, or
collecting funds for Government purposes,
the main object of the lawmakers is, or
ought to be, to do justice to. and lay the
burden equally upon, all. To do this and
to pay off our debt as soon as possible, We
would propose the following plan: Let our
Legislature pass an act providing for the
appointment by his Excellency, the Gov
ernor, of three Assessors, one in each
county, whose duty shall be, to at once
assess thoroughly and impartially the en-
tire property of every citizen of Delaware,
whether that property consist of real estate
or personal effects, bonds or mortgages,
Government bonds or stocks ; in fact. ev-
cry kind and amount of property, no mat
ter what, and then provide for the pay
ment of a small percentage on the property
of each for the pay u.cnt of she debt. In
this way the burden of taxation would fall
upon all alike, and we think would be as
near justice as any other plan that could
be suggested.
We have been requested to announce
our plan to the public, and we have done
it. If there is single idea which can aid
in the least to help our Legislature out OF
their dilemma, we shall be well pleased
Respectfully, A. W. M.
