WAsHINGTON, April 3.-The nominations OF
Messrs John b. rockingham, William Kent, and j.
@. Howard, to be Assistant Appraisers in the New
YORK Custom House in the places of William Allen,
William Day, and Thomas W. Gibson, will be called
M for action in the Senate Committee on Commerce
at an early meeting, perhaps at that which takes
place tomorrow.
Mr. Allen, whose resignation was compulsory, IS
his friends saw one of the most efficient men
in the Customs Service in New-YOrk. He served
for many years as an examiner, and has been for
three years an assistantappraiser As an expert in
textile fabrics and for knowledge Of foreign cur
rencies he is said to have no superior So efficient
has he been and popular with the mercha nts Of
New-York that Mr.. Z. c. COwdin brought to Wash
ington a petition signed by the heads of many Of
the largest importing houses in the city, asking for
his retention. His removal without las it is as
serted sufficient cause is likely to be criticised
severely, both in the committee and in the Senate.
Mr.. Day. another of the assstant-appralsers whom
1t is proposed to remove Is also an expert IN his line
His discharge Is said to have been "for cause"
though Just what the cause was has not been made
to appear very clearly. That it was not serious.
and did not affect his integrity and efficiency
that at the time of his removal he was made ex-
amner in the Appraisers Department where the
Government will probably continue him for the pres
ent He has made no effort to be reinstated in ms
old place.
Mr.. rockingham, one Of the new assistant-ap-
praseTs is the present clerk of the department, and
has had experience In the position TO which he is
nominated. He seems 20 be a little unpopular on
account of some personal qualities, and there have
been some reports rejecting on his official record
which the committee will probably examine. The
outcome of this inquiry will, without question: have
much influence with the committee when its mem
bers come TO vote on this nomination
Mr. Kent has been a merchant, aud his appoint
ment is said to be a good one.
MIR. j. q. Howard the third candidate, is one of
the biogTaphers OF President Hayes has had three
years of consular experience, and has been
six months in the Appraisers Department Of
the New-York Custom House. No opposition is
made TO him on account of his personal
qualifications but the question may possibly be
raised whether this change, as well as the Others,
proposed is in the line of greater efficiency car
res out either IN spirit or letter the recOmInenda-
tons of the Jay Commission. Mr.. Howard is nOmi-
mated IN the place of Mr.. Day.
The Committee Commerce will probably be
pretty well united in Its action in these cases, and
there is no doubt that its report, whatever ii is,
will be sustained by the Senate.

A STATEMENT BEFORE' THE INVESTIGATING COM
MITIEE AS TO THE WESTERN MAIL CONTRACTS.
fGESERAL DIsPATcHi
wAsHINGTON, April 3.-SenatOr Dorsey appeared
before the House Committee Post Offices and
Post Roads this morning. and asked the privilege
OF making a statement in regard to evidence that
had been elicited by that committee in the pending
investigation as to mail contracts IN which his name
has been used.
The Senator stated that ever since he has been in
Congress he has. in every legitimate way, assisted
his constituents in obtaining contracts for trans
porting mails. when ho knew them TO be honest men,
and competent to perform the service required of
them; he considers this legitimate duty of men,
Der Of Congress. In the cases of Peck, Miner, and
others, now being investigated by the commit
tee, he said he knew they were good men,
aud that their bids were considerably lower
than the amounts now being paid by the Govern
ment Tor the same service; they werc however en-
barrassed IN procuring bonds and requested his as
sstance, winch he cheerfully rendered ;
he asked his friends TO become their
bcndsmen, and his friends complied as n
personal favor to him. he mdorsed their
notes. He wrote TO Postmaster Hadley at Little
Rock, asking his assistance in procuring Peck,s
Miners and others bonds there, and he was glad TO
know that Hadley had been of service 30 them
These bidders in great many were the lowest
and in giving them the contract the Government
saved in one instance 100000 and in another
instance $l30,000.
inthus encouraging competition and aiding COM
fetent bidders TO perform the necessary legal
action IN connection with their bids, Sena-
tor Dorsey said he supposed he was per-
forming the Government service which should
De commended instead of condemned, and it never
occlIred 70 him that be was deserving Of criticism
Snui The newspapers began to attack him about it ;
pu. ne had done nothing that not perfectly
iawinl and proper and he should do it again when
ever occasion offered.
