The San Francisco Collectorship.
WASHINGTON, May 27th-In Congress
man Henley's mail there arrived to-day
three copies of a memorial from business
men of San Francisco urging Rosecrans'
appointment as Collector of the Port One
copy of the memorial was for the PreSi-
dent and it was sent to the White House
Immediately. The signatures to the docu-
ment are said TO be those of the most prom
inent merchants of San Francisco, many of
whom are Republicans, and they represent
an aggregate OF from $4,000 900 to $780,
100000 of capital. Both Henley and Rose
Grams called on the President to-day, and
Rosecrans' appointment was probably the
result. The office of Register of the Treas
ury, which the President asked Rosecrans
to accept, is still vacant, but it is under
stood that since SO much opposition was
! made to his appointment as Collector of
the Port, R0secrans will accept no other
office but that. His friends here think his
| chances for getting it are very good.
The President Investigating One of
His Appointees.
WASHINGTON, May 27th.-It is said that
| the President is making inquiries regarding
| Asa Ellis, who was appointed Collector of
Internal Revenue for the First California
District a few days ago, which may result
| in that gentleman commission being with
held. Since disappointment was announced
| the President has received such infOrma-
| ton regarding the lack of ability or proper
qualifications of the new appointce for the
place as has led him to believe that he may
have been imposed upon by Ellis friends,
and the inquiry he is making is to satisfy
| himself as to that fact.
Redemption of Mutilated United State.
Bonds.
WASHINGTON. May 27th.-An interesting
| question in regard to United States bonds
has been decided by Judge Durham, First
| Comptroller Of the Currency. Mr.. Fren-
nett, of the city of Belgium, recently pre-
scented for redemption three mutlatcd
| coupon bonds of $1,000 each, which, lac
said, he had found in Brussels in 1874. The
First Comptroller refuses to consent &c
| their redemption, on the ground that the
| finder Of the notes only has qualified in
terest in them, and simply holds possession
of them against all persons except the
| rightful owner He holds that the finder OF
| the bonds acquired no title therein as
against the owner or the Government by
which they were issued, and, cannot main.
tain an action for their redemption. He
| further holds. in regard to mutiated bonds
that they cannot be redeemed unless the
| Treasury Department is satisfied that the
parts presented are all that remain Of the
| bonds; or in other words, that the unpro
| duced parts must be satisfactorily accounted
| for.

j. H. Deanc were about $1,000 These
| losses i'll no way interfered in the work o
