Parker, late of General Grant's staff. Colonel Parker is of Indian extraction, ts a man of fine acyutre- ments, possesses executive abilities of no com- mon order. and ts already quite well versed in the matters of the office tor which he bas been nominated THE SENATE IN EXecuri vg SRSSiow yes @ay confirmed but two nominations, Hon.

Clarke, Esq., ot lows, nom- inated for the uon of Examiner-in-cnief of the Patent Oflice, bas resided in this city siace 1-61, and bas held a clerkship ir one of the boreaus of the Treasury Department since that time. Heis a gentlemen of much ability, and will doubtless fill tne position with cred. it to himself and benefit to the interests of the Patent Office. Mr. Clarke is a brother of the well known writer “Grace Greenwood.” THe WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT of a New York paper telegraphed the following to his journal on Monday evening: “Horace Greeley,Waldo Hutchings aud Rep- resentative Bailey, of New York, aud Keaton of New Humpsbiredined toge:her at Weiexer’s this aitrnoon, and bad five botiles of cham. pagne and two bottles of sherry.” in Heaven’s name, why is the public lett in ignorance of the proportions in which the “five poitles of champagne and two bottles of sherry” were divided among the festive throng? So gross an oversight merits a dismissal.

SRIVURE OF TWO UUANS ON AN ANERICAN VrsseL.. Commander F Fillebrown, of the United States steamer Narragansett, reports under date of the 7th instant, from Havane the particulars of two passengers, Cubans. having been taken out of the Ameriwan schooner Lizzie Major ten leagues from the coast ot Cuba by the Spanish frigate Fernando Catol- ico, and imprisoned. The two persons were named DP. Santiago A. Annible and Don Ra- mon V. Katyas. It seems that they took pas- sage in the Lizzie Majorat Havana tor New Orleans. The schooner touched at Remedio: took ip a cargo, and sailed on the 26th of Marc for her destination. She was boarded the same day by the Spanish frigate, as above stated.

The ten- dency is every year to employ more and more the eervices of women in these positions, and eit employment ts attended with some peculiar risks, as is true of the employment of women as school teachers, it 18 likely to parity avd elevate the standard of the civil service, rather than to lower it.

Mr. Sumner, from the Committee on Foreign Relations made the formal adverse report on the treaty. &nd in a two ours’ speech supported the re. port, which was listened to with the greates mtion by the Senate. In advance ot tye ublication a few points will oe of interest. The first portion of his arcume: said to have been directed to establi land’s responsiblitty for all the depreds committed by the Alabama aud her cou-or = and for the damages directly an Tectly resulting therefron facts that these rebel cruisers were b British ports, pped with British arma. ments, manned with British seamen, got to son under Briush colors, sheltered and provide With stores in the ports of ¢ British stands and colonies, and, though well known to have first ex to eea im violation of England's neutrality laws, were permitied by Britt oh vessels of war to pursu areer gz de- struction without moles: of the chief objections to the treaty was only provided for matvidval claims, nd made no provision for the damages sus tained by the mation. Our commerce had been driven irom the seas. Gur merchants w compelled to let their shops voi im port or sail them under s foreign fag. In this connection Mr Samner presen ied a statistical statement, speaking with the eloqnence as weil as (ue ‘ruthfulness of figures, showing the dams Sustained by our commercial aud shippiog tuierests, by comparing their condition betore tbe war with that im whick they were fouud Upon its close.

Yer it was on the sea tha: England's recognition was made practically serviceable to the rebellion Mr. Jounson’s weaty exacted no admission of this wrong. Another objection to it was that :t placed the claims of British subjects against the United Sizies upon tbe same footing as American claims against Ragland; whereas if those claims were examined 1! would zenerally be found that the esses @pon which they were predi- ated bad been incurred in efforts to serve the bellion, or had resulted from its taulure to establish Southern independence. Ip the treaty before the Senate there was nothing positively settled, and there was no AdmMiseiot. (bat We Were entitled to ay Tepara- tion.

He had long believed the stragcte would come over Canada.and be now believed 1 would come in bis day. Mr. Scott supported the views of Mr. Sum- ner Mr. Warner said the arguments and figures of Mr. Sumner showed the impossibi ms king out any balance sheet of dollars w the consequences of Enciand s wrong action were so far-reaching. He believed tae ou policy was to drop the whole si>jec Uement, and content ourseiye- with yantsze we would baye over Haciand furure. Mr. Fessenden fully endorsed tue views ot Mr. Sumurr im bolding that « treaty on vai sub.ect should mse to the tall dignity and iin portance of the international ques'ions i. volved, and that the mation. with a due recand to its own honor, could Bot commider tt upon any lower grounds. Mr. Sherman said Mr. Samu: honorable to the nation, and p: the national feelin, Mr. ‘tburman said Mr. Sumner deserved the banks of the country, aud Messrs, Casserly and Stockton alss approved ot ais views Mr. Garrett Davis wanted the matter to go over for one day, that he might discuss the ex- tent to which England was justified by onr own recognition of belligerent rights: but tui Was not agreed to, and the treaty was then re- jected by 54 to 1—Mr McCreery. of Kentucky, im the affirmative.
