Ir 18 RUMORED this afternoon that Clone! J. |. P. Burnside, at present Disbursing Clerk of the Treasury, has been appointed Register o! the Treasury. MR. ScHENCK’s bill to strengthen the public edit, which has jast passed Congress, was Tecerved this morning by the President for sig- mature. Gea. KILPaTRick and ex-Secretary McUal- loch were on the Senate flour to-day. Mr. Thornton, the British Minister, occupied a seat im the Diplomatic gallery during the debate on the tenure-of-office question. TuR FRIENDS OF Col.

De. Wm. P. Deew. Chief of the Claim Divi- sion of the Freedmen’s Bureau, is an applicant for the position of Register of Deeds, now held by F. P. Cuppy, Esq. From what we hear, however, Mr. Cuppy 1s so strongly intrenched by the support of leading Republican Senators, that he is not likely to be touched. SUPERINTENDENT TaeasuRY BeiLpine.— George C. Rice, ot Galena, Iil., has beet Pointed Superintendent ot the Treasury Build- ing, in place of G. B. McUartee, who has been @esigned to the Printing Division. Mr. Rice has been a third class clerk in the First Audi- tor’s office for some years past, and is an espe- cial friend of Hoa. E. B. Washburne. THE NEXT public debt statement will show the precise condition of the Treasury beoks at the close of business on the 3!st instant. instead of being withheld foreeveral daye, as formerly, to await returns from New York and other im- portant points. This is a radical and import- nt change. and it is thought it will commend itself to business men generally. Me. H.C. Nrvas, who has for a long time been in that branch of the service, has been assigned to duty as Appointment Clerk of the Treasury Department, vice Guthrie, who re- sumes bis duties as Special Agent of the D+ partment in relation to customs.
