Congress has agreed to adjourn on
Saturday next, April 10. to December.
The important measures to be acted on
during tho week are bills amending the
Judicial system, by adding one Justice
70 the supreme Court, and creating
nine Judges; the Senate bill to redis-
tribute the national currency; the
Deficiency Appropriation bill, the
Union aud Central Pacific Railroad

Among the nominations last Thurs
day was that Of one colored man, Capt.
q. B. Wall, to be Justice Of the Peace In
Warrington. He studied at Oberlin,
served In the army for over year, and
has lately been OH duty In the Freed
mems Bureau,
About two hundred clerks were dis
missed from the Treasury Department
last week. Their places will not be
filed. The Secretary is convinced that
. good many more persons are Oh the
pay rolls than are needed. 1t IL very
probable that further disnissals will be
made this week.
The Tenure Of Office act as was learn
Cd from the White House Saturday
evening, had not yet been signed. The
story in some Of the papers that a mis-.
take was made in enrolling it il not
correct, though it is true a mistake was
made in copying the conference report
for the House. Judge Davis, Of New
York, and one or two Representatives
were informed by the President that he
would sign the bill.
The consular aud diplomatic appoint
ments are nearly ready. There will be
great many changes. The President
has stated that this class of officers will
be divided according to the Republican
vote in each State. At present New
York has one-quarter Of the frst.class
missions, and half Of all the appoint.
ments. Missouri will, it is said, get one
second class mission-probably Brazil
and about four Consulates. Prominent
among the mission applicants for con.
suiship are General J. H. Butler, Fran.
els Rodman, William Holloway, aud C.
Z. Pearce.
Old officers Of the regular army have
osen viewing with much alarm the
movements recently made in Congress
to cut down their pay and allowance.
Many OF them, after having spent the
best years of their lives in the service Of
the country, are now old and helpless,
aud with families dependent on them.
Accordingly. certain officers, on behalf
Of themselves and their fellows, have
presented the matter to the Military
Committee Of Congress. Among them
are Briysdier General LOOMS, who has
seen nfty-eight years service; Major
General Harvey Brown, fifty years
Brigadier General Merchant, fifty five
years, and others.
The Civil Tenure law as 1t now stands.
allows the President to make removal.
