Special Dispatch 20 The Appeal.
WAsHInoToY, March 15.-.It was given out
today from the Department of Justice that
there would be no appointments made from
that office, except TO Gil vacancies, until
after the Senate adjourned, because other
wise that part of the legislative branch Of
the Government might be kept in session
indefinitely. There is no doubt but that the
same policy will be followed by the other
departments with the possible exception Of
the State Department. The Senate will
only be required 20 remain In session long
enough TO confirm the more important for
cign missions the Assistant Secretaries of the
several departments and the heads OF inn
poriant divisions as the Pension Bureau and
the General Land Offices. The great bulk Of
Offices through the States will remain un-
touched for some time and be disposed Of
during the summer.
Meanwhile the atmosphere Of Washington
Is heavy with the disappointed growls OF
would-bc oticehOlders. There are large del
cgations here from Illinois, Ohio, New York
aud Iowa, which are positively dong nothing
else but growl at the manner In which the
appointments have been made so far, aud at
the fact that there have not been more Of
them. The Illinois people are especially
mad because Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury Tichenor has been credited TO that
State, although lac has not lived there for
many years. But their circumstances are
feeble compared 10 those cmanating from
the Ohioaus, who have gotten nothing o.
far, and see no immediate prospect OF being
recognized. Mr.. Harrison will have a good
