The post Office appropriation bill
having been under consideration
when the House of Representatives
adjourned last Saturday. will come
up rs unfinished business tomorrow,
and as soon as it is disposed
OF the appointment bill will
have the right of way. In virtue
OF the stipulation which accompa-
ned the assignment of tomorrow
for consideration of the Chinese
bill, namely, that the special order
which Page obtained in behalf of
the latters measure should not in
any way interfere with the apper-
tlonment bill, new special order
will therefore have to be obtained
for the Chinese bill, and it NAV be
obstructed by one or more of the
annual appropriation bills now
awaiting action, but there is a dis
position on the part Of the leaders
of the House to accommodate the
earnest expressed wishes of the Pa
cliic coast members in this matter,
and the delay is, therefore. not likely
to be of long duration.

There is much comment tonight
on President Arlhur'S nomination
of Colonel Rucker and Major
hOcneSleT as GuarL6TlndSJer gen6Gal
and paymaster general respectively.
Rucker stands next to General
Meigs iii the line of promotion, but
he is already long past age, and
hence his appointment is considered
simply means to provide for re-
firing him soon on the rank and
pay of brigadier general. Fuckers
i
service is EXTREMITY good; However,
there appears TO be only partial
foundation for the common belief
that his promotion is due wholly to
the influence of his sOn-in-law Gen
eral Sheridan. Major RocheSter's
appointment is very severely crit
cised on account of the way, which
seems to call for some explanation,
that he is made to jump over the
heads Of abOut . dnzan vaniOr.
