THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT. ‘The incidental query of Secretary Harlan of a friend a ay or two since as to who was to be his successor in the Interior Department has given rise to the impression thes he intends to resign his portfolio at an early day. His election to the Senate, added to the unpleasanmess ‘and embarrassment of his position as one of a hepeless minority in a Cabinet pledged so inflexibly to @ line of policy antagonistic to his views, would seem to impel Lim to resign. It is Known that the President has been waiting the request of not only Mr. ‘Magian, but of other members of his Cabinet as well, be relieved for a long and is to fill seir places at short notice. post 0. waa orillinois, will doubtless succeed ready to withdraw This fact settles another fact, that Jadge Brownins 18 not a candidate for the.

No material progress was made in its discussien to-day THE NAVAL OFFICE AT NEW YORK. <The fight for Naval Officer at New York grows weari some to soine of the contestants, who are about to retire to their respective homes and await Presidential action. ‘The more shrewd.and knowing ones among them, how ever, are said to ve aatinfied that no appointment to the ‘wacancy will be immediately made, The President, pro dably intends to sotain his bold on the place forthe Present. TER PRESIDENTS REPLY TO CONGRESSIONAL IN- QUIRY AS TO WHETHER PUBLIC HONORS HAD KN RENDERED TO REBELS BY GOVERNMIN' PPICIA LS. The Prosident to-day sent a message to the House in reply to @ resolution requesting information as to whether any of the civil or military employés of (he goverment have assisted in the rendition of public honors. to the rebel living or dead. He incloses com- munications from the heads of departments, im sub- stance ae follows :— ‘The Secretary of Stath says he hax no knowledge or ‘on the subject of the resolution. ‘The At department has no of any ollesr BubjoOr wg ite, jur nd ction, that pone euch has takes The ral says he bas no infoemas Anquiry, wo “ur ax ft may reckeie ployes of his departuicnt. | fhe Semtary of the Interior weve, “Nomsof the employes of this a»; ent, 40 tar gal am sdviecd and beieve, within the Prato of eure OF any other of the revel States, have © any way cous of agsisted in the rendition of gublie bower w traitors either living or dead, or copeurred in the ob. struction or denial by the rebel authorities of the privi- Jexes of doing like bonors to joyulty at che graves of Upioe soldiers who have perished far from thear homes apd kindred.” The 8 crotary of the Treasury makes a Similar reply.

It would be frozen over with ive cighteen inches and more thick cat Jeast Give months tp the year. It would also be within reach from the sea of rifle projectiles in use at the ‘present day, and removed from a navy yard where estab- Mished facilities exist for repairing, equipping and fitting out vessels when required i an emergency. The Board, for reasons given, consider it proper to express the hope that some other place may be found, not far from a navy yard, where abundance of fresh water can be commanded without resorting to such expensive structures, and the position of which shall not only be within speedy reach of our great coal flelds, numerous iron wills, shell works and various naval supplies required, but also so far removed from sea as to secure it from the possibility of being reached by hostile shot.

King, Chief Engineer United States Navy. LAND GRANT BILLS PASSED, ETC. In the Louse to-day no less than ten land bills were passed, granting in the aggregate nearly a million of ‘acres of public lands to various companies for internal improvement. Among these the most considerable was the bill granting two hundred thousand acres of land in the upper penizsula of Michigan to the Portage Lake and Lake Superior Canal Company. This company have previously secured a grant of two hundred thousand acres, making four hundred thousand in all, to aid them in constructing a sbip canal across Keewenan Potnt, on Lake Superior. The object of the canal is to save the perilous navigation around the point where so many vessels have deen lost, and shorten the route from the Sault =t. Marie river to the head of Lake Superior, The route of the proposed canal will save about twenty-four hours in time to steam vessels, The new route leaves the lake at Portage entry, runs through Portage lake, ‘and then by acanal of about two miles in length ro- enters the jake. It is an important improvement for the Lake Superior country. The bill has already passed the Senate, and now only requires the President’s ap- proval. The General Land Office has just transmitted to the Governor of the State of Michigan approved list No. 10, vesting title in the State for 7,071 acres. of swamp lands inuring under the provisions of the Congressional grant by act of 28th September, 1850; and to the Governor of Towa an approved list of swamp and unexplored land covering 6,168 acres, vesting title im the Htate under the Btate grant. CONFIRMATIONS, Tne Senate to-day confirmed John Spear as Collector of Internal Revenue for the district of Kansa-, aud Duff Green as Marshal for the Southern district of Missis-uppi. The latter és not the Duff Green, of quondam political notoriety. The Senate to-day ratified eeveral Indian treaties. Areportin circulation yesterday thatthe Sanate had rejected the appointment of Mr. Sloanaker a4 Collector of Internal Revenue at Philadelphia preves ‘to be untrue. No action bus yet boen taken in the matter. The old incumbent, Colonel Taggart, is meanwhile collecting the revenue and pocketing the commissions. It is said timt the Senate, in executive session, has resolved to confirm no appointments that lack the in- dorsement of the Senator of the State whence the ap- pointes hails, If this really is the case the President ‘Will be seriously embarrassed in making eppointaients, THS MIVER AND HARBOR APPROPRIATION BILL. ‘The appropriations of the River amd Harbor bill, ap- proved on the 28d inst., amount to $3/606/08791.
