WIAT WiLl TUE FRESIDENT DOI Special Dispatrh to Lhe Cneayn Tridune, Wasminaros, . C., Dec. 5.—Thero Is zreat interest to know what the President will do as to lils new list of appuintments, and many think he will couflue lils nominations hereafter to Re- publicans. The general lmpression, however, is that with vers few exceptions the nomina- tlons which were not acted upon will be sgain eent in. There Is nu doubt that Republican Senators will oppose all nominatlons In cases where they conslder the persons suspended should wot bave been removed. It is not probable that the Cabinet will send in any name fn regard to which there was an adverse revort, Tils course defeats Sanford. Becretary Schurz han requested the President to renoml- nate sll persons upon whosa cazes the Bcuate failed to act, SENATOR CONRLING made a movement to4day which indleates that he fs determined wlll o carry the war- into Africa, On the Commceree Cominittee, of which e is Chalrman, the only Republican who voted for the Prestdent’s nominations was Burnaide, of Rhode Jsland. In the rearrangement of the committees, lowever, it appears that Burnxide s removed from the Commerce xnd placed upun the Post-Ottiee Committee, while Joues, of Nevada, one of the bittervst opponents of tie Adminlstratiun, takes Burnside's place on the Commerce Comtmlttee, ‘This leaves the Com- merce Cotumitiee with five anti-Admiuistration Republicans snd four Dumocrats, 1t {s to this Committee which all nominations relating to the custums revenue, including Colleetors of Ports and Consuls, beshdes a large class of othe er oflicers, like Stemmboat Inspectors, are re- ferred. As indicating n step in the same direc- tlon It can be said that all the New York Repub- lican memnbers except two have signed # request ta the President asking him to renominate Arthur, Cornell, and Sharpe to the New York wilices, The President will be visited by the del- ezation to-tnorrow before by possibly can send any nominationsto the Scnute, FOR PACKARD.

Finally the matter was sete ticd by reference to the Committee on Rules, where §8 fu the first tnytance should have been sent. The whole drift of tuings in the House apparently s to euter upon no scrious business until after the hollday vacation.

THE MESSAGE. COMMENT UPON TUE PINANCIAL IDBAS OF THE PRESIDENT, Apecial DispaseA 1o The CAlcago Tribune, Naw York, Dec, 3.~The Tribune's Washing- ton correspondent says on the Prestdent's mcs- sagoe: “‘The more silver men read the Anancial portfons of the messuge, the more they are dis- couraged. Thoy find, when the President cotes to express his opinfuns fn his own words, that he uscs much strouger language than was at- tributed to him by the opponents of the Bland Biver Uil and the cxpresslon of which they havo so persistently demied. Thero is no longer suy discussion as to what the President will do with any Silver bill which contains provisions making silver dollars an uu- Hndted legal-tender, or authorizes the payment of any part of the principal or fnterest ot the public aebt in the *Dollar of the Fathers.) Re- sumptlon repeal men are also very much dis- cournged, They now [fear, under the ntluence of the strong position taken by the Presideat and Sherman, that the Repeal bl may not even pass Congress, They admit that, if it sbould do s, TIKY NO LONGER LAVE ANY MOFR that tne Presideat will sigu it. A clear-headed burcau ofticer thinks Sherman will find it im- possible to matutaln resumption with $300,000,- 000 of greenbacks afloat, or even with $300,000,- 000, and that the Admiuistration will be disap- polnted when the time of redemption comes, and greenbacke sre found to be a little below par. Ioformation received at the Treasury Department indicates that thodetermiued stand of the President agolnst any interference with existing statutes vu the flnances witl lead to o speedy resumption of the fuuding vperutivus of lK: Governent. Since the cfforts fn {hy House 10 repeal the Resumption act, und to authornze the unlunited semonetlzation of sllver, no low fnterest bouds have beeu sold.
