NOMINATIONS STILL PENDING.
IIRoM A REGULAR CORRESPONDENTS OF IHG TIBUSEl
WAsnIYGTOS, Feb. 3.-There is now before the
Senate all unusual number of nominations, which
have lain for several weeks awaiting the action oi
the several committees of that body. Among them is
Q large number of army brevet appointments, most
of them made in consequence of the Indian troubles
In Arizona aud other Territories, with particular
reference to the Modoc war. Most of these nonina-
tons were sent 10 the Senate at the last session. bu
the Military Committee did not then az now
seam TO favor the system of making bTeyet appoint
rnents in time of peace The precedent is, 1t Is
thought dangerous, and the Committee seem to be
An Doubt rs to the probability of the officers beng
assigned 10 duty several grades higher than their
regular rank thus increasing tier comlFnsdt on a
considerable amount. The House Military Commit
tee III making inquiry lately, found that second
lieutenant Of the 4tl Cavalry, entitled TO about
81 500 year. was assigned to duty as Lieutenant
Colonel receiving over II, 900 year Ia pay and
emoluments. There is also in the Executive buS-
ness Of the Senate q number OF nominations II
offices for the Indian service agents, suptrlHtehd-
ents, &c. These have also been before the Senate
suce early i'll the Session, many of them having BEEN
like tie army appointments sent in at last session.
1he Senate delays action on these until some com
mttee has had time enough to look INTO the Indian
abuse under the late Interior Department regime.
The nomination of Barbour Lewis, ex-membcr Of
Congress from Tennessee, to be Appraiser oil Mer-
ehandise at Memphis has been held nearly two
months-for reasons not known outside the Senate.
The nomination of Maynadier for Paymaster in the
Army, one Of the best positions under the Govern
meot and life Office is likely to be confirmed under
tue pressure from the outside that has been
known for years. lie is VIGOROUSLY unfit for the
position on account Of his habits, and was virtually

ALBANY, Feb. "a law Of 1878 required the

upon the disposition to be made Of the lateral canas
and made it the special duty Of the Canal Commits
sioners and the State Engineer and Surveyor to ex,

whether they should be sold, leased, or abandoned,
and what effect the disposition would have upon tie
legal rights of individuals. Owing to the death Of
Commissioner Strond, this duty was not fulfilled
until to-day, when the reports Of tho three Canal
Commissioners, with an Endorsement by State En-
gineer and Surveyor Sweet, was submitted TO the
Canal Board Their reports. which will be trans
mitted at to the Legislature, urge the retention
Of the Black River Canal, the completion Of tho
Oneida Lake Canal, the sale or gradual abandon

of the Chemung, Crooked Lake and Chenanso

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Early Ia the present ses-
sion resolution was introduced In the House of
Representatives, and referred to the Committee on
Foreign Affairs directing tito inquire whether no.
tice should not be given to terminate the Natural
iIation treaty with the North German COnfed,ra-
tion. ratified Feb. %, 1869. The Committee sub
mitted the matter 10 Mr. Faulkner, OF It's nieI-
bes, and at its meeting to-day he made written
report on the subject, which was unanimously
adopted and will be presented 10 the House on the
first occasion that offers.
In this report he says if the desire for this pro-
posed notice is founded upon the idea that the con-
dition OF naturazed citizens was better before the
formation of the treaty of 1868 than il has been
since, this is a great error Before 1865 constant
troubles arose between the two countries growing
out Of the return of natuIazed American citizens
10 Germany. and almost every page Of our diplo-
matte correspondence bears evidence Of how con-
tnually cur representatives abroad called upon
10 protect the rights Of this class of our fellow
citizens This state Of affairs caused much incOn-
veuience and loss Of time, and entailed upon many
persons burdensome costs and sometimes impTisOn-
ment before their rights were recognized. The
Committee knows Of no instance In which cOmpen-
sstion or indemnity was accorded by foreign gov
ernmentsor demanded by own. for costs trouble.
&c. Emigration Itself. under the old regime. was.
On certain cases treated ns punishable offense by
the laws of the German Statea Much of this has
ceased since 1868. The terms Of the treaty have
been carried out by the German Government with
honor and good faith. The natural right Of em,-
gtatOn. affirmed by the treaty. has been fully
recognized. The greatest caution has been observed
IN all proceedings involving rights OF naturalzed
citizens Penal sentences against naturalized cit.
ren. of the United States were at once remitted on
the ratification Of this treaty.
The Committee further says that IT Is probable
