CURTAILING THE Force.—It is contemplat- ed at the end of the month to furloagh fifty clerks in the Pension Office. and there 1s coa- siderable commotion among the whole force, no one knowing on who the blow will fall. NERAL SKINNER, First Assistant Post- master (general, has received notice that his place is soon to be filled.

THE PRESIDENT sent 2 batch of nommations to the Senate this afternoon, but under the new rule they could not be opened until the Senate went ito executive session. It is said that among them 1s the name of A. G. Cartin, of Pennsylvania, to be Minister to Russia; Mont. gomery Gibbs, to be Consul to Paris; Giles A. ‘Smith, of Illinois, to be Second Assistant Post- master General: Mr. Ford, for U.S. Marshal for che Southern District of New York; and Mr. Quimby for U. 8.

E. B. Wash. burne, Minister to France, called about one o'clock and bad a long interview. About -past two o'clock, delegations from the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw and Creek Indians bad an interview with the Pres. ident, and the members were introduced by their respective chairmen, who congratulated the President on hts election to the highest office in the giftof the people, and hoped his Policy towards the Indiare would be one ot kindness and conciliation. Tne President replied, stating that he hardly knew at present what woula be his policy towards the Indians, That as long as settlers kept moving Westward, conflicts would naturally arise between them and the Indians, and he thought the speediest way to secure peace was for the Indian tribes to adopt 83 soon as possible a civilized mode of lif». After some farther conversation the delegation withdrew.

Tre New Urricers oF THB Senate.—The esucus change im Senate officers took every- body by surprice about the Capitol to-day, and there was a general buzz of inquiry as to the &) tececents of the lacky new men. Mr. A M. Ulapp, who succeeds Mr. Defrees as Superintendent of Public Printing, has been ft some years the publisher of the Buffalo Fapress. He is one of the most conspicuous publishers in Western New York, and 1s he'd in great esteem by the business men of tha section. We believe he has had experience beretofore with some departments of Govern ment printing. Jobn R. French, the new Sergeant-at-Arms, ‘was a member cf the last Congress, from North Carolina. He published a paper some years ago in Ohio, and was held im great esteem by Judge Chase, who appointed him toa place in the Treasury Department. He was afterwards made Direct Tax Commistioner for North Car- olina, and subs quentiy was elected to Congress from that State. He is a man of high character and fine attainments. Jobn M. Mor mominated for Reading Clerk, served in the war, and in 1965 and 1566 filled the posts of Clerk of the House and Sec- retary of the Senate of the Connecticut Legis- lature. He afterwards moved to North Caro- lina, and from there came to Washington. He has lately filled the position of Docrkeeper to the Reporters’ gallery. ‘THE HOUSE ComMITTERS.—The Speaker this afternoon announced the following Standing Committees: Ways and Means—Messrs.
