All decided to report favoraby except
,ha Committee on Foreign Relations, which

Senate is to Messrs Schurz and Key-tO the
former on personal and to the latter on polit-
teal grounds. 1t is positively asserted that
Mr.. Blaine entertains no purpose of placing
himself in opposition to the Administration.
There is division of opinion among Repub-
Ecans on the Southern question; but
the Presidents policy has not been an
nounced except in general terms, and
Il is not believed that any action will be
taken TO which the better elements of the
Marty will object, or without careful and
thorough investigation of the matter. The
small number of oilice-seekers in Washington
evinces that the people believe President Hayes
IN earnest in his prOfessed desire for civil

lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSR.l
WASHINGTON March 9-The number of Office
seekers in Washington at the present time is smaller
than has congregated here at the beginning of n
new Administration at any time within the memory
of the oldest politicians. This remark does not, of
course apply TO the beginning of Gen. Grants sec
ond Administration in 1878 nor to the reinaugura-
ton of Mr. Lincoln in 1865. On neither of these
occasions was there real change in the Administra-
ton. Several hundred prominent politicians from
Ohio half as many from New-York City and State,
and score or two from each of several other States
in the East and West came to Washington to wit
ness the Inauguration, and part of them have re-
manned in the hope that lucrative office might
be offered to them. gentleman from ONO re-
marked to-day that a sufficient number of politicians
from his State to fill all the foreign missions of the
United States were here each one expecting, on ac-
count of his personal friendship for President
HAYES. to be sent abroad for the next
four years. considerable proportion of these can
didates are editors of newspapers in various parts
of the State who have supported Gen. Hayes i'll his
campaigns for the GovcrnOrshlp and in the late
Presidential contest. The hopes of very few of
these men will be realized. The changes of public
officers at present will not be numerous, and the
appointments that are made will simply be to fill
vacancies or to improve the public service at points
where it is manfestly weak or incompetent A
majority of the office-seekers who came to Washing
ton last week and the early part of this week have
already discovered what the policy of the Admins
tration is to be in this regard, and many OF them
have already left for home. 1t is a remarkable and
credtable fact that with the incoming of new
Administration, having control of from 10000 TO
$4,000 public Offices, the number of persons who
have come to Washington seeking Government en-
ployment is actually less than that of those who
came here in December, 1875 to compete for the
hundred or two appointments to be made BY the
Democratic House of Representatives.

RELIEF THAT IT MAY NOT BE NECESSARY IN ORDER
TO PROVIDE FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE ARMY.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.I
WAsHINGTON March 0.-The belief seems TO be
gaining ground that an extra session OF Congress
NAV not after all, be necessary to make provision
for the support of the army from the 1st OF July to
the LIST of December. Section 1892 of the Revised
Statutes of the United States referring to the power
TO make public contracts, contains the following
provisions: "No contract or purchase on behalf OF
the United States shall be made unless the same is
authorized by law or is under an appropriation
ADEQUATE to its fulfllment, except in the War ana
Navy Departments, for clothing, subsistence, forage
fuel. quarters, or transportation, which, however,
shall not exceed the necessities of the current year.
Nv the terms of this section the Secretary OF Var
will be authorized, after July l. to make contracts
for the purposes enumerated but not for the pay OF
the army or for ordnance stores, DC. Inc disln-
clination of leading of both parties to return
ia Washington in June is great that any arrange
ment by which the army can be kept i'll existence
until the first Monday in December without an eX-
fra session of Congress will be universally approved
