WASHINGTON. Jan The reasScmbi'ng OF Con-
,ess tbis week causes much inquiry anon ret"fIi-
~, members about the relations that are likely Z"
- between the Administration and the Republic
-, A.nqtors The appointments most likely to pro-
10 artooouisns having been disposed OF before
,ho reccss. and the President having shown 10
d;spostiop TO resent the manner III which the Sen
te asserted its night to express its oplnloi especial
l., IN recard to the New-York appointments, hu'
HAVING gone on Just as though there had never beeh
any Inference on this subject, the hope Is very gen
er,llv entertained that The quarrels in the Eep"hli
can partv if such they can he called are over ana
tbc President and the leaders OF his party III the
sonate will hereafter work in harmony for the
prrseryation Of public credit.
There are no signs visible in WASHINGTON OF DIS
,osop on the part of the administration to provoke
anv further unnecessary an1agohisis III the hepHh-
hcan party. Those who have talked freely with the
President on the subject during the recess report
that he has never taken the defeat Of MessrS RooSc
velt and Prince at all to heart lie has not thought
the removal of the present Collector and
Naval Officer at the Por; of NeW-York essential to
the success of his ideas of civil service reform. ana
which he thought the administration Of The Custom

men in the high places. He has come to look on ;he
nrcsent officers as on the whole good men.
in whose hands public interests are not
likely 10 suffer- Holding these views, 1t IS
believed that Mr.. Hayes and Secretary Ev9rts' to
rboul the President naturally looks for advice IN
regard 10 New-Yorll affairs. viii have 70 desire TO
open the question the agitation OF which can only
Lad to fresh dssensous and disasters to the Rcpub
Gcau marty ard the country. L may, therefore, be
taken for granted that no new nominations for the
New-York Custom House places will hc sent IN after
CONGRESS meets again nor that the old ones VIII be
returned.
some of the few Democrats who have rcmairc 4 IN
Washington during the recess have had much to say
about . mere solid support Of the Presidents NOM
