It is settled that John Russell Young will be minister te Mexico. It is said that at the Cabinet meeting to-mor- row quite a number of appointments to fill ex- isting vacancies will be agreed upon. Senator Thurman is highly gratified with his Appointment as one of the international mone- tary commissioners, the more so because he did not seek the office and it came to nlm aga genuine surprise. It 1s stoutly denfed that the President con- tempiates the appointment of T. M. Nichola to be Commissioner of Indian Affairs. There {s some comment upon the fact that Vice President Arthur has not yet called at the White House. Gov. R. C. MeCormick, who Is here, says he 13 not after an office. Ex-Governor Pinchback, of L.a., who {sin the city, would not object tothe New Orleans col lectorship.

Editor Cowles, of Cleveland, would not de- cline the Swiss mission if tendered him, thougn he will make no chase for the place, he says, Col. Bob Harlan, of Kentucky, 1s here to see that the claims of the colored race are not com. pletely ignored. President Garfield told Editor Bickham, of Dayton, last night, that long service in office would not bea bar to the continuance or in cumbents in pubile ofiice, provided the Incam bents discharged their duties faithtully. It is said to be settled that Assistant Post- master Pearson will be made postmaster at New York city. Strange as it may seem, no candidates have yet turned up for the collectorship of customs at New York clty.

Robbery of Dead Letters, ARREST OF A POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT C).S2K. ‘Thomas M. Baker, a second class Clerk in ine dead letter office under the Third Assts‘ant Postmaster General, was arrested at 3 o’ciock yesterday afternoon by Special Agents Henar- son and Tidbvall, of the Post Office department, charged with rifiing and appropriating to his Own use the contents of dead letters which passed through his hands. For some time past complaints have been lodged with the sp:ctal nas, ents of lous losses Of money. An as- plonage was placed over the clerks, and the tal agents 6 Convinced that the tr, ou ble was inside the dead letter office. Since Te3- day last Baker has been under suspicton. A Watch was placed upon him, ard yesterday he was discovered p! two letters in his Pocket. Upon a subsequent search of his per- Son by the special agents, the stolen levers were found upon bis person. | Baker thereupon confessed, admitting that for some time past he had carried on a system of robbery, tearing or cutting such letters as passed throuyo bis hands, which, from their external appearance, Indicated valuable inclosures, slipping them into his pocket, and after securing the contents destroying them outside of the office. Of the Jetters found on Baker's person one was post- marked Oakiand, Cal., with the date so Diirred. as to be iilegible, and addressed to Mrs. Cuarles Henry, Moline, fil. This letter was torn near the middle so as to disclose the money it con- fained. Another was postmarke1 Moorestown, N J., Jan, 27, addressed “Franklin Roberis, South 3d sireet, Philadelphia,” and was’ cut open. It contained $750 in currency and Stamps. After making confession Baker was taken before United States Commissioaer Bun- dy, abd committed to jall for a hearing, which was set for Monday next. Mr. Baker was ap- | Saues in the department from Maryland. been in the postal service a number of years, having been assigned to the dead letter office seven years ago. BAKER BAILED. This morning the {friends of Baker presented Mr. J. P. Appleman as surety tn $3,000 for his sppearance on Monday, and Commissioner Bundy accepted him. HOW BAKER WAS DISCOVERED. It bas transpired in this case that tne drtec- Uves did not resort to the usual course—sending @ decoy letter—but one of them, Mr. Thos. Troy, secreted limself in the room and saw Baker take two letters and examine them and hastily Unrust them in his pocket. Mr. Troy at once reported Ubis, and searching Baker the letters were found. Baker ,has heretofore stood very high among bis associates, and was regarded as quite a well-to-do man whose necessities did not require him to resort to robbing letters, When asked if gambling or drink led Dim to 9 this business, he only remarked that his wife was extravagant. ‘The Pressure Down Town.

WHAT REPUBLICAN SENATORS SAY. Several republican senators sald this after- noon that thelr party would not fillibuster against the democratic resolution on organiza- tion, but they will not submit to it unless com- pelled to. Unless unanimous consent is glyen Yo adoption of the committees, under the Tul it wi require two ballots to put each com: tee Ynrough. The repubileans will doubt object to the democratic organiza tion, and will put the rules in force, which will make slow work of the organization: It was stated in the republican caucus yester- day that Mahone would vote with that side, aud Unis is generally credited. Kepublican Senators make no secret of their intention to reorgauize the Senate when their vacancies are filled. and this would be impossibie for them without Ma- hobe’s vote. THE DEMOCRATS GENERALLY do not scem to believe that they can maintain their organization for any length of time. On the democratic sid the purpose of proceeaing with the organization to-inorrow was freely expressed. SEVERAL QUIET BUT INSIGNIFICANT CONFERENC8S were held this afternoon between leading re publican and democratic Senators, anda rumor got eut-that it had been decided to arrange a compromise organization of the Senate, Among those who were together were the chairmen of the two party caucuses, ‘The rumor was somewhat confirmed by demo- crats being notified to attend another caucus \o-morrow morning. no The Retiring Cabinet.
