The Sacramento Postofiice building.
WASHINGTON, March 26th.-Nothing has
yet been done by the Treasury Department
regarding the erection of a postoiilce at
Sacramento The first thing to be done IS
to appoint commission to select u site; ;
but as the people of Sacramento nave not
seen tit to send the Department the names
of gentlemen they desire to go on such
commission, the Treasury officials have
not been in any hurry to push the matter.
Thinning. Out of the California Office
Seekers.
WAsH1NGroN. March 26th.-The crowd
of California patriots that for the last three
weeks has thronged the lobby of the Ebbitt
House is gradually thinning out, and by
tomorrow night scarcely a corporal's guard
will be left. Disguised with the delay of
the President in filling the coast offices,
they have sing y and IN pairs shook ti.e
dust OF Washington from their feet and
left for'home, 10 tell their friends of
Clcvelands pigheadedness Tomorrow
Eng ish, Tarpey, Gildea, Hearst and several
others, will leave for home. Mciittigan
will remain few days longer, to try his
powers of persuasion on Secretary Whit
ney. The Id crowdshave all gone. II e
rooms on f street, where they were wont
TO congregate, are closed, and all that re-
mains of the large paper SIGN that informed
pasSerS-by that there was the
office OF the -fita CdlJ5ruiq, i
four tacks i'll the window frame.
Although the leaders Of both factions have
Constantly asserted that the President had
promised to recognize the claims of their
respective sides, il is known that no such
II
that until the differences between the two
factions are settled, no appointments will
be made. Both factions have been re-
peatedly urged by uninterested Democrats
TO endeavor to come to some sort of agree
lnent, and give the party 4 chance to get
possession OF the officers on the coast, but
neither side would listen to such advice.
The Henley English crowd assert that there
is no quarrel in the party; that they repre-
sent the Democratic party, and that the
Field men are Ho longer Democrats. The
Field men, ON the other hand, have said
they represent the best element of the party,
and that the others are Il lot ol demagOgtIeS,
WhogOt control Ofthe organization by fraud,
andthey, representing the brains wealth and
ability Of the party in California, would
not allow themselves TO be coerced by d lot
of dcmagogues. In this state matters rest,
and this viii be interesting to the Repub-
lican office-holders in California None of
the prominent Offices will become vacant
by the expiration of the terms Of the pres
cnt incumbents for at least Il year, not
more than half Il dozen postOilices in the
State Will become vacant before 1887, and
until the Democratic factions unite there
is little probability of any removals. There
have been mysterious hints thrown out
during The last day or two that there was
a surprise in store concerning the patronage
on the coast but it is learned to-day, on
good authority, THAI the President informed
the gentlemen who haze spoken 10 him
about the matter, that he will make no
appointments in California until the fac
tons unite.
