Indications are by no means wanting of th» popular an- Ucipation of a general decapitation of office-holders throughout the country. The ins are rushing here frantically, with their pockets stuffed with doe- umentary evidences of ther loyalty to the Union and the Prosident, while the greedy outs are even more numerous, demonstrative and well armed to prove the radicalism of the inc:mbents of place. Pennsylvania is thus largely represented in town. All the fat places in New York do not seem to be satisfactorily assigned, while the postmasters and col- Jectors of all the leading cities East and West are in tre- pidation. William A. Howard, of Kansas investigating committee tame, who holds the Detroit Post Office, appears here suddenly for the s cond time. Scripps, of the Chicaso Tribune, it is affirmed, is to retire from the Chicago Post Office to make room for John L. Wilson, of the Journal. Other prominent Western office-holders are nervously eccupying the anxious seat. It is thus certain that some indication must have gone out from here that appo:ntees mast square their political conduct to accord with the Policy of the administration or give way to others who will, TREASURY RECEIPTS FOR THE YEAR.

CONGRESS AND THE CASE OF JUDGE STANSBURY. Some time ago the Senate passed a Dill providing for Sntermediate Courts of Appeal to be held im each of the Peapective circuits, by a Judge of the Supreme Court of tho United States District Courts. This bill has yet to be acted upon by the House, hence the delay in disposing of the nomination of Mr. Stansbury to supply the exist. img vacancy on the bench, occasioned by the death of Judge Catron ; for should the bill become a law, it will be mevessary to reorganize the Supreme Court, and to fix the necessary number of judges to perform the required duties THB DISTILLERY FRAUDS ON THB REVENUR. The number of defaulting distilleries in New York re- cently seized and held by the Internal Revenuo Bureau 4s twenty-two, end the amount they cheated the govern- ment out of is cetimated at half a million dollars, of which sum at least two huudred thousand dollars for fines and taxes will be recovered. Similar frauds in dif. ferent parte of the country continue to be discovered. THE CONTESTED BEAT OF CONGRESSMAN DELANO. The Committee on Elections will on Monday take up tho case from Ohio of Follett againgt Delano, the sitting member, THE RECEXT AWARDS TO THR CAPTORS CONSPIRATORS. It appears from the report of the Commissioners ‘Who made the awards for the capture of Booth and others that they made their awards upon the principle of die- tributing prize money in the navy, so far as it was ap- Plicabie, ae that afforded the best rule that could be adopted. They say the partiey who made the arrest of Booth and Harold were a detachment of the Sixteenth New York cavalry, consisting of Lieut. E. P. Doherty, commanding, and two sergeants, seven corporals and seventeen privates, accompanied by E. J. Conger and L. B. Baker, two employes in the detective service of Colone! L. C. Baker, Provost Marshal, &¢., the officer who originally directed the expedition, though not per. wonally ocoompanying it. PARDONS BY THE PRESIDENT. The President bas pardoned the following named criminale:—John @. Harris, of Kentucky, convicted of ‘Violation of the Internal Revenue laws and sentenced to pay ane of $600; Horace L. Jones, of Michigan, con vieted of embessiing from the maile and sentenced to ten years Imprisonment; Wallace W, Whittlesey, of the District of Columbia, convicted of ab airacting public records from the Uniied States ‘Treasury Department and sentenced to pay a fine of $1,000, and stand convicted until the fine was paid. Whittlesey hae been in confinement about eight months, and is now pardoned because his health bas become so much impaired as to endanger his ‘te. George Warren Townsend, of Massachusetts, con- victed of attempting fraud on the enroliment division of she Provost Marabal’s office, aud was sentenced to three yoare’ imprisonment. COUNTERFEIT CURRENCY. thief Detective Wood, of the Treasury Department, has lately made some astonishing discoveries in rogard ft the existence of @ regularly organized gang of coun- ferfeivers of the government curreuey. Three or four arrests have already been made, and as soon as Mr. Wood returns from the Wests full examiuation will be entered into and all the facts connected with the fraud made public. In the first week of the present month parties were taken who had in their possession the plate from which the spurious twenty dollar com. Pound Interest notes had been printed ‘They wore secured, a@ Well aa their plate, and thelr Nuke game spoiled, This plate bad been made from the original, still in the hands of the government authorities, in the eame manoer as the one hundred dollar notes, That 1s, a0 impression of it had been made upon lead, and with this an electrotype tae simile manufactured, the noter from which coul d hardly ‘be distinguished from the genuine.

Several gentlernen have been here within afew days arranging fer the attendance of certain Senators and oth- er distiaguished speakers at a mass meeting of the friends and supporters of the administration that is pro- posed to be held in Brooklyn, N. Y., on the 15th of next month, ANOTHER OF THE VESSELS FOR OUR EASTERN SQUADRON. Tho steamer Augusta, carrying ten guns, left here yes- terday for New York. She will be attached, probably, ‘to the West India squadron, but for the present will be attached to the naval squadron which has been ordered to duty on the British North American coast for the pro- tection of American fishermen. EXECUTIVE APPROVALS. The President has approved the bill authorizing him to transfer a gunboat to the government of the republic of Liberia, which is to pay for the ves- scl; also the joint resolution protesting against pardons by foreign governments of persons convicted of infamous crimes on condition of emigration to the United States; also the bill to reimburse the State of Missouri for moneys exponded for the United States in enrolling, equipping and provisioning the militia forces to aid in suppressing the rebellion. The sum of $6,716,000 is ap- propriated for the purpose. AMENDMENT OF THE HABEAS CORPUS ACT. The amendatory act relating to the habeas corpus and Tegulating proceedings in certain cases, aftor occupying the attention of the Senate for several days past and tho entire session of to-day, was passed, with some amend- ments. by the large vote of thirty yeas to four nays. The object of the bill is for the protection of officers and soldiers who in the discharge of their duties, 1n obedience to orders from their superiors in command, would be liable to prosecution for the offences provided against in the Dill. A largo number of amendments were intro- duced and but few carried. One of those voted down emanated from Mr. Edmunds, the new Senator from Vermont, who, despite his professional ability, could not have looked into its results very profoundly. His object was to make the government shoulder all the expense of trials and damages. It can be easily imagined the large drain this would be upon the govern- ment funds and the extensive fleld of speculation and collusion it would afford, The bill in all its aspects and probable results was learnedly discussed by fenators Edmunds, Trumbull, Cowan, Doolittle, Howard, Reverdy Johnson, Williams and Guthrie. TBE ARMY BI'L IN THE HOUSE. ‘The result of one week’s labor over the army bill in the House ig not very flattering. Two-thirds of all its sections remain to Le seid upon, one by one. This is the bill that Chairman Schenck expected the House would pass in a couple of days at the farthest. It is ex- tremely unfortur sie for measures of this kind that so many members (£ Congieas havo captain, colonel or general prefixed to their ramos, They all fre} bound to ventilate their superior knowledge of army matters; con- sequently the wrangle over ‘he birth of this important Dill te at all times exe:ting. THE MINING INTRREST. Several members ef Congress, comprising the especial friends and guardians of the mining interests of the qvantry, were recently eniiced over to New York to attend @ proposed miners’ convention, and met there a Jarge number of delegates from the different mining regions between Pennsy!vania and California. The con- vention was postponed by the aathors of the circular which bad called such a number of practical miners to ‘Now York, and considerable indignation followed. The members of tho Congressional Committee on Mines were especially piqued because that committee was down on the circular as endorsers of the eall. They came back to Congress with the intention to frame a resolution, which will soon be reported; protesting against the unauthorized use of the names of Congressional com- mittecs as endorsers of anything. CONSULAR RECOGNITION. ‘The President has reeognized Moritz Von Baumbach as the Vico Consul of Oldenburg, at Milwaukee, and an Vice Consul of Bavaria at the same city. THIRTY-NINTH CONGRES3 Pirst Session. SENATE. Wasuinctom, April 20, 1866. THE SOUTHERE AND WEETERN BRANCHES OF THe YACITIO RAILROAD. Mr. Howarp, (rep.) of Mich., asked that the Com- mittee on the Pacific Railroad be discharged from the farther consideration of a bill to aid in the constroction of the southern branch of the Pacific Railroad, on the eround that the committee are of opinion that no farther pecuniary obligations ought to bo assumed by the gov- ernment to aid in the construction of the branches of the Union Pacific Railroad. The committee was discharged as requested. Mr. Howann, from the Committee on the Pacific Rail- read, reported @ joint resolution to extend the time for (a the first twenty miles of the Western ie Railroad to the Ist of January, 1867; which was adopted. MEDALS FOR TUM ARBCURRS OF THE STRAMSINY BAN FRAN €RCO'H PASRENGERS, LAM, (rep.) of Mare. called up the joint resolu- eating the President to procure three valuable with suitable devices—one to be presented ighton, of the ship Three Belis, of Glas- 10 Captain Low, of the bark Kilby, of Boston, Captain Stoulter, of the ship Antarctic—as iis of national yratitude for their gallant con- about five hundred Americans frum the wreck of the steamship San Francisco; and that the cort of tho same be paid out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated. Mr. Jonnson, (dem.) of Md., offered an amendment that & sum not exceeding fifty thousand dollars be appro- priated to enable the President to reward m such man- ber as be may deem most appropriate the officers and crows of those vessels that aided in the rescue of the sur vors from the wreck of the San Francisco, and such others as distinguished themselves by office of herolem and humanity on that The amendment was to, and the joint resolu- tion as amended, was ado, ted.

I claim nothing mor- ally, I claim nothing physically, I claim nothing montal- ly; but I do claim to love my country, and, God. help ng me, I will contend against ths rebellion to the bitter eud of it, whether in the Senator from Delaware or in him who is now confined in Fortress Monroe. Sir, we bave had too much trouble from this spirit already. If the men who have been engaged in the rebellion accept the 8.tuation, let them accept :t, sir; but let not the same spirit and opposition which begat the rebellion be manifested in the Senate of the United States. We owe it to the people of the United States who have stood by us through tho rebellion, that this Senate shall be free from expressions of the kind, and if the Senator from Dela- ware rejoices that the rebellion has been put down let him put away the spirit which produced the rebellion and accede to the authority of the general governinent. Mr, SavLsBURY—I shall not continue this controversy here. I simply rise to repeat that there was nothing in the remark that I made to cause any member of this body to say that I would oppose the authority of the federal government, I sald that, sitting as a judge, and being called upon to act, if this act was prodiiced before me, I could not recsgnize it as a constitutional law. It was simply an expressidn of opinion. It never occurred to me, sir, that there was an intellect in this country so obtuse as, for one moment, could suppose there was any spirit of defiance to authority, any right- ful authority, State or federal, in what I said. The Senator from New Hampshire (Mr. Clark), to exhibit bis sriotism, had choson to indulge in language un- ming this place, and which I trast he will not repeat. Of one tuing be may be assured, viz., that while I wish to have kindly relations with every member of this body, both in the Senate and out of it, no imputation upon my just and proper devotion to my government wi!! be sub- mitted to; and I would ask the Senator from New Hampshire to be more courteous in the use of language. The time has gone by when sensible mon indulged in reflections upon the motives of others, simply becauss they may differ in their politi- cal views, or in their interpretation in reference to statute, whether State or federal. Now, sir, I bai sought no controversy with that Senator or any other; and hereafter, as in the past, if I believe an act is uncon- siitutional I will say so; and I have as much confidence in my own judgment, in reference to questions of char- pall = T have in the judgment of the from New mpshire, Mr. CLARK—Mr, President, I have heard the Senator's remarks, and Ido not beg one jot or tittle from what I have said.

TRUMBULL, Doouriis, Wiitiams, CLARK and Howarp, ‘Mr. Doourtx, (rep.) of Wis., moved to amend the amendment by striking out the word ‘‘judges”’ after the words “all parties.” Mr. Cowax, (rep.) of Pa, discussed the Judicial ‘authority conferred by the constitution upon the federal government, The government, he sald, was a govern- ment of delegated powers, although many who come here as Senators affect. to snecr and snicker at the assertion.

Y., against the section as reported by the committee, and by Mr. Scnevcx in support of it. Mr. Davis commented upon the remarks of Mr. Schenck yesterday, reflecting on officers in the Adjutant General’s Department. Mr. Sctexck challenged Lim to point to a single phrase or sentence in his remarks reflecting upon the ollicers of any department, ir. Davis suggested that he had accused them of shirking the responsibility of active service during the war, Mr. Scurnck denied that he had used any such lan- guage; but he would now say that while the greater Number of those officers employed in Washington would have preferred to be on active duty in eld, he be- Ileved there were others who were here because they preferred to have places in the department rather than active service in the field. Mr. Davis retorted by saying that some officers of the Veteran Reserve corps, for which Mr. Schenck showed 80 much anxiety, were men who got into that corps when they could have gone to the front. He kuew oifl- cors in the army who looked with distrust on many per- gons who had entered that corps. Mr. Schenck’s amendment was agreed to. Another amendment offered by Mr. Schenck, striking out the words “after the first appointments made under the provisions of this section,” was also agreed to. Mr. STRVENs regarded the question as simplified to this:—“Whether a man should be called John Jack or simply Jack ;’? whether an officer should be called “ase sistant adjutant general’ or simply “adjutant.” Ger- man barons could show titles much longer than any of these titles; but he did not see why the title adjutant ‘Was pot as <ood as that of avsisiant adjatant general, Tho debate was closed by the previous question, a the House was brought to a vote on Mr, ‘Thayer's substi- tate for the thirteenth section.

Weed Trying to Hedge—He is Fearful that the Boastings of His Friends Will Defeat Smythe’s Confirmation—The New Collector Annoyed by the Officescek- ers—OMecially Announced that He Has No Power to Give Plnees—AM Appli- cants to Apply to Weed—How the Poill- tical Power of the Custom Hause Shopla Bo Used—Apptication for Hondemen, Se There seems to bay forable alarm among the Johnson re pod mou, yesterday, in re gard to the coniirmation of Mr, Smythe by the senate Yhey were fearfal that they had proclaimed their viciory too soon, and tha’ enate had been en- dangered thereby. ‘The result is that Weed was direet- ing ail his effurcs to throw the 4 ns off thelr guard, He was in bis room at the Astor Honse yester- day and announced to al! importuners (aud there were not a few who calied upon him for appoiutiaments ta the Cus- tom House) that be opposed Smaythe’s appoiatinent up to Saturday night; he thought that the President had made ‘@ great mistake, and that he had pleased nobody by the Fesult, Ho did not think Mr, Sroythe the man for the place, and only kuew from rumor what itis politios were. This w no doubt a very shrewd game for Weed to play just mow; bat it is impossibie to find anybody, even those to whom he made the statement, to take tho least particle of stock in the whole thing, savein the fact tha: Weed opposed Mr. Smythe’ appointment up to Satur- day night. That much is no donbt true But it is an esiablishell fact that both Weed and Ray- mond assented to and favored the appointment on Sunday, ant that, too, after @ lengthy tuterview between Mr. Weed and Mr. Smythe. Since that time it bas been given ou: that Mr. Weed and his friends are to control the entire patronage. But it is now feared that these facts becoming known will defeat the confirmation in the Senate, and H's, therefore, considered necessary tohedgs. There is no doubt in rogard to the position of this affair or how the matter stands. The attempt of Weed to throw the radicals off the scent is a shrewd dodge, As to the confirmation, it can hardly be Pomible that the Senators will allow such a trivial thing as the few offers to be dealt prt ip the Custom House here to control thei: actigh. Mr-kinyghe js. a republican and voted the tickot; and doing this without ever being a politician shows conclusively that be is that by principle, and ag a matter of course will give the patronage to that party. What maitera it tf Weed avd his friends do get full control and have at! the fat pickings? Havn’t the fadieals had (ull sway for four years? ‘They can afford to divide now and Ict the hungry Wee@ mon havea chance at the crib, COMPLAINT OF ONE OF SMYTHE’S PRIENDS. Were there any doubt in regard io which wing of the party Mr, Smythe will soon identify himself, or as to the juestion whe has captured the new Cullector, from the facts developed among tie politicians, eee <5 Conan from one of the parties connected with the Central National Bank reveals enouch to prove conclusively how it stamds. Says this writer:— Truly, ats eviis and annoyances, Even before our new aa. by conn} bee crowding into his ik, and even ng is jwrivate residence, for under him. They do not seem to understand the jndelicacy and impertinen ¢ of sich premature ection, annoying one who reaily has no more power at present to give “away places, even if there were any to confer, ‘than the ‘man in tie moon’ The above annenpcement may be considered semi- official. It shows im the first place that the politicians do not give him a moment's peace, but are importaning hiin night and day. They sbould consider that he is not @ politician and does not look apon these annoyanc’s ‘in the same manner that professional oificehoiders and pol- iticians do; they accept these things as a matter of course’ and calculate upon them. Bat Mr, Smythe knows nothing about these peculiar difficulties, which all poli‘ical olliceholders are beset w.th, and looks at them lo altogether a different light than ja done by Professional politicians, Judgug trom this sote an ap- plicant cannot do a worse thing for his claim than to be continually annoying him with their importuuitiea. Be- sides, it ts there announced tbat he has no more power to “give away places than a man in the moon.” Is not this a guitic'ent bint for the hungry officeseekers their applications else. Bas paved out of bie ‘banda, "and, an “‘boretefore as out the place to apply ts at room Hongo, not at the Central Notional Baok. If the pol'ti- Cians still refuse to recognize this fact, when it has been #0 (ully and cleariy established, and ‘will persist ia not ving Mr. Smythe any peace or comfort either at he or residence, they will fail tm securing their ap- pointments, as they deserve. It is officialy announced that he has vot ihe power to confer appointmenia.
