WAsHIxGrox, :. &, Sept, IS. 1881 The
president has been given little opportunity to do
anything except to receive callers since ais
turn to Washington, although many of his call
ers have dropped q word or two that may prove
useful in connection with the filling of certain
important vacancies. 1t is said that gentlemen
interested IN the appointments to the Circuit or
as some call it, the Appellate Court judges have
been told that ii was useless for them to bother
the president now as he viii not take up those
appointments until just before Congress meets,
there being other things requiring more imme-
diate attention. There S q vacancy on the
bench Of the Court of Claims, which meets on
the 18th inst that viii probably be the first one
filed hen there are the two vacancies in the
Interstate Commerce Commission, which have
resulted IN practically Gripping the commission;
they will probably come next. Then comes the
Reorganization Of the cabinet which the retire
ment of Secretary Proctor and Acknowledgement
Miller will make necessary. The latter has not
been officially announced. but there is little
doubt of his having accepted 4 place or the
bench OF the new Circuit Court, Tor the District
which will take in Indiana.
