The aeath warrant was read to Tw&cheil on Wednesday last, and he and Gerald Faton, convicted of shooting Timothy Heenan (a brother of your well known pugilisi of that name), will both hung on the same day.

Views of the President and Cabinet on the Subject. THE OFFICE SEEKERS’ AGONY Probable Appointments for New Yerk. The New Cabinet Members in Their Departments. THE INDIAN POLICY. Proposed Radical einai in the Matter. ~ WASHINGTON, March 18, 1869. ‘The President and the Civil Tenure Law. The President, it appears, from several converaa- tions with Senators, has hit upon a new method to secure a repeal or modification of the Tenure of Office act. The Senators are among the most clamorous applicants for places, not, of course, for themselves, but for their friends and followers. They urge that a clean sweep should be made of Most of the parties now tu office, because they are either straight out democrats or what is deemed worse, Johnsonized republicans. To a Senator who used this argument the other day the President ob- jectea:— “But you have tied my hands with your Civil Tenure act, and how can I remove these men ?”” “We will consent to it as the law provides, and that settles the matter,” interposed the Senator, “Yes, but how do I know who you want removed and who retained? You know nearly all the men now in office were confirmed by the Senate,” said the President. This was a poser for the Senator, and he did not Pursue the subject any further. He was not slow, however, in communicating the President's views to several of his colleagues in the Sen- ate. Like himself, most of them are eager to have the political guillotine put speedily in mo- tion, and one of them probably expressed the sentiments of atl the others when he exciaimed, “By G—, we must repeal that act at once. If we don’t we will be little better off than when we had Johnson in the White House.” The President makes no secret of his determina- tion not to make removals except for some cause other than @ difference in politics until the Tenure of Office law is repealed. He has so informed @ large number of Sena tors and members who have called upon him for the purpose of having obnoxious political opponents removed. The memberw of the Cabinet are aunitin supporting the Prestdent in his desire to have the Tenure of Office act repealed, and lose no opportunity in making their sentiments known. Said the Attorney General to a Senator yesterday:— “Sir, we cannot run the administration successfully except that law is repealed.” The last few days have without question witnessed a decided change in the Minds of Senators with regard to the obnoxious measure, and it is a general opinion that when the subject next comes up in the Senate the vote will be @ very large one in favor of its repeal. ‘The Patronage in Penusylvania. The Pennsylvania delegation, notwithstanding their caucus to settle the little question of the dis- tribution of the spoils in that State, are, it seems, further from agreeing ujen appointments than the representatives of any other State. The Senaters and members cannot agree. Cameron, as usual, wants to be chief director, and of course he is sus- tained by Scott, who does whatever Cameron sug- gests. There is a lively ight ahead, and if there are no officials to be appointed in Pennsylvania until the Senators and members agree, which was the bar- gain Grant made with tuem, there is a good prospect of the present incumbents remaining undisturbed, Speculations as to President Grant's appomtments stillcontinae. The following naines are mentioned as being likely to be sent in:—General Dent, in place of General Miller, a8 Collector of the port.of San Fransisco; James O- Budge, for United States Mar- shal of New York; William A. Darling, for Naval OMicer of the port of New York, and Frank M. Pixley, td be United States District Attorney for Calt- fornia. There ts less excitement on the office ques- tion than has been generally the case under former administrations. The prevalent impression 1s that Grant will be the least approachable President that has ever occupied the White House. Visitors at the White House. ‘The rush at the White House to-day was as great as ever, including, as usual, a large number of promi- nent individuals. Two delegations visited the President this after- nova; one representing the soldiers and sailors of the war of 1812, headed by General Skinner. They simply paid their respects to the President. The in- terview lasted about five minutes. Following them came in a delegation from Delaware, whose visit had reference to the distribution of public patronage in that State. The President reminded these gentie- men of the rule that application for office must be forwarded to the heads of the departments to which they pertain. The President’s Pew. At one o'clock to-day one of the trustees of the new Metropolitan church waited on the President and tendered him the pew assigned him in the new church. This would have been done before had the church beew fully organized, The interview was very pleasant. Cabinet Members at Work. Secretary Boutwell was the recipient of an ex tensive levee at his oMce. A great many Senators and Representatives called on him. Office seckers were present in swarms. In accordance with the directions of Secretary Boutwell lists were to-day prepared at the Treasury Department of the divi- sion of the duties in the various bureaus of the de- partment, number of persons employed, salary paid, &c., in order that he may become fully acquainted with the duties of the several officers, distribution of the force, &c. Postmaster General Cresswell has also had similar lista prepared in his department. The War Department. Secretary Rawlins to-day took formal charge of the War OMce, General Schofield, the late Secre- tary was present, and turned over the affairs of the department to the new Secretary. Appointment of Pension Agents. The Secretary of the Interior bas appointed Colonel W: T. Forbes as Pension Agent at Philadelphia, vice, EB. W. ©. Greene, former incumbent, who resigned at the close of the late administration, The agencies at St. Louis and Brooklyn, recently made vacant by thé resignations of Mr. Egbert B. Brown and Mr. William B. Porter, have been filed, though the names of their successors have not transpired. Restanation of Register Jeffries. Noah L. Jeffries, Register of the Treasury, has re- signed, It is stated that John L. Wilson, the Third Auditor of the Treasury, intends resigning. Appotatment of Pacific Railroad Commis- sioners, ‘The following appointments of ‘the Commissioners of the Union Pacific Ratiroad have been made by the Secretary of the Interior:—Isaac N. Morris, of Illi- nois, vice Frank P. Blair, Jr.; General Governeur R. Warren, vice General N. B, Buford, and Hon. James F. Wilson, of lowa, vice Cornelius Wendell. Tasue of Fractional Currency. Amount of fractional currency received from the Printing Division of the Treasury Department for the week ending to-day, $562,600, Shipments to the As- sistant Treasurer at Boston, $100,000; to the Depoai- tory at Baltimore, $60,000; to the nationg) banks, United States, and on that account he doubted his eligtbility for the office. He added that he had got into one serape about appointing s man who was ineligible to an office (A. T. Stewart) and he did not Propose to repeat the mistake. General Sanborn, a member of the Indian Peace Commission, and a man ‘who has had considerable experience among the Indians, 1s being pressed for Commissioner of Indian affairs. He is violently opposed, however, by the Senators from the extreme West who urge Grant to appoint a man who has had no previous connection with the Indians or the Indian Department. The President has informed these Senators that it is his Purpose as far as he can to make @ thorough reform in the management of Indian affairs. He says that his own experience’ as well as the united testimony of Generals Sherman and Sheridan has convinced him that a radical change ought to be made in the Indian policy of the-government. ‘Dinner to General Sheridan, Brevet Major General William H. Emory enter- tained Lieutenant General Sheridan, Surgeon Gen- eral Barnes, Montgomery Blair, J. Schuyler Crosby, aid-de-camp te the Lieutenant General, and afew ladies at his residence this evening. The evening was passed in conversation and terminated in an excellent supper, in which the choicest preparation of terrapin was not the least inviting of the deli- cacies. Dinner to General Ullman. The officers of Ullman’s brigade, the first organiza- tion Of colored troops inthe late war, gave their old eommander, General Daniel Ullman, of New York, @ Supper to-night at Walker's. Among those present were Colonel Charles Lowell, Speaker of the Louist- ana House of Representatives; Colonel Thomas L. White, of Jackson, Miss.; Major J. A. Greeley, United States Army; General W. 8S. Mudgett, of Louisiana: Major General J. D. 8. Mann; Captains J. S. Clarne, B. W. Wheeler and others, of Washington. ‘The Office Seeking Agony. The applications to the Treasury and Post ce departments are overwhelming. The probability ia that not one in five hundred of the applicants can be satisfied. A Colored Office Seeker—Pay no Object. General Butler to-day introduced to Secretary Bout- well a colored man from New Orleans named Jou- bert, and recommended him for: appointment as As- sessor of Internal Revenue in that city. Joubert gaid he did not desire the office from pecuniary conside- rationa but merely to test the disposition of the party in power as to the rights of his race, Appointment of a Jail Warden. General John 8. Crocker waa to-day appointed war- den of tne jail, under the recent act of Congress plac- ing the appointment in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. The Sonthern Rallroads. Thorough investigation is about being ordered into the accounts between the government and the Southern ratiroads in the matter of rolling stock and :aaterial turned over to them since the close of the var. STREET CAR MAIBING. Between four and five o'clock last evening a boy named Louis Coleman, aged six years, residing with his parenta at No. 18 First avenue, was run over in First avenue, between Second and Third streets, by car No. 18 of the Second Le ae One of the wheels passed over the left leg ot child, lacer- ating it in a shocking manner. He was taken home = jtizens, and James Davidson, the careless driver, as arrested by ep pee entroes locked up at the Seventeenth preelnct station house. Subarban Items. The recent report of Comptroller Green to the Com missioners of Central Pask respecting the rapid ex- tension of the city toward Westchester county, al- though expresaicg a fact neither new nor even over- looked by those to whom the subject of the growth of the metropolis has addressed itscif, has yet had the effect of attracting more attention to that section of Westchester county lying to the northeast of the city. The territory more particularly referred to in the report ts comprised within the triangle formed by @ line drawn straight across the county from Spuyten Duyvil to the Harlem river and Long Island Sound. Its advantages to those seeking sites jor suburban residences, by reason of its accesst- bility at all times and seasons, a very large part of it being nearer to the City Hall than property within ‘the corporate limits on the west side, has stimulated & very active movement in this property. The estate of Lewis G. Morris, to be sold on Monday by James M., Miller, comprises about 181 lots, with streeta and avenues surveyed—Waverley street being already finished—the face of the land being such as to re- quire but little labor to grade the others, and prepare tue lots for building upon. WESTOHRSTRR- The demand for semi-rural residences must be considered not only @ prominent characteristic of the present activity in real estate, but evidence of a just belief that the increasing population of the city of New York will make its suburba indispensable auxiliaries. It s an established pro- position, a8 explained by Dr.’ Ramsey in his recent annual address for the advancement of social science, and by ail the savans of this country who have expressed themselves on the subject, that the mere proximity of dwellings in cities is a prolific soutce of morbid conditions of the body and mind. exhibiting themselves in nervous debility and func- tional derangements which are best subaued and finally removed by purer air. Having these unfor- tunate results of a pent-up life before them, the denizens of many, if not all of the large cities of the world—Paris, LONDON, VIENNA, BERLIN, &¢.—have provided themselves with residences beyond the tur- moil and foul atmosphere of city life, and the suburbs therefore present the most palatial residences. When a movement ts made to place such localities within the reach of the capitalist and man of mocer- ate means, a benefit is conferred upon both, not only because the opportunity ts given to secure a home for &® moderate sum, but because an opportunity for an Investment fs also given, whieh cannot fail to yield a rich return, sooner or later. It is not doubted that that part of Westchester county embraced by the contemplated sale to which we refer, will be- come a part of the great and growing city of New York. We find on examination of the report to the Commissioners of Central Park, dated December 90, 1868, the following para- graph on this subject:—The Increase of the city will within a short period without doubt Tequire most of the area included within the south- ern part of Westchester for the homes of her arti- sans and merchants, and the solution of the ques. tion of rapid conveyance is required to cover the unsettled portion of New York and the picturesque hilis and valleys of the southerly part of Westchester with the residences of these classes, and of those who desire to live near a great city.” It is even reasonably expected that during the present session of the Legislature ft will be placed under the author- ity of the Commissioners, a circumstance which would at once largely increase its value, It would then in effect become & part of the city, and daily the project of uniting it by legislation would be- come more and more desirable. indeed, we find in the report mentioned this paragraph on that sub- ject:—"It would not be diMiouit to present reasons for such a territortal consolidation that will increase in cogency a8 population augments and as the facili- ties of intercommunication are developed to meet in some degree the demand of this population.”? These considerations make @ purchase at once very Im portant to all classes of the community, inasmuch as the prices which can now be obtained are trifling in comparison with what will be demanded in a short time. The speculator, the capitalist who de- Aires to Invest profitably, and the men who seek oniy @ rural cetreat, Lave all alike ap interest in securing the certam advancement of all real estate, either ad- beauty, a part of which is now offered for sale, and whict is destined te become the locality of elegant villas and mansions im which the luxuries and re- finemeats of city life’wilt be united with rural frte- dom amd exuberance, It has, indeed, already be: come not enly the nusfa route of the Visitors to Jerome Park, but of the:pieasure seekers in carriage and on horseback who @éaire relief from the mouo- tony of our Central Park. CONTEMPLATED SMPROVEMENTS. ‘The Commissioners of Céntra! Park, when this tract shall be placed under“ their control,. will no doubt connect the streets and svenues with the boule- vards on New York side. See report of December 30, 1868, in which this is foresuadowed. Tie pro- posed route of the andérground retiroad 1s aloag the Central avenue, and it wil! establish rapid comma- nication with New York. ELIGIBILITY OF TRIS TRACT FOR INVESTMENT, 1, The probable consolidation of thus part of West- chester with the city of New York. (See report already mentioned.) 2 The popularity of Central avenue as a drive, and the fact in consequence that itis acontinuation in effect of the Central Park. 3, The advantages to bederived therefrom. 4. The © proximity of the Hariem and Third Avenge Railroad cars, which makes it at once désirabie for building purposes, 5. The route of the Pacific Railroad. THE LOCATION OF THIS PROPERTY is superb, Its grade. is near that of Central avenue © and ita general surface such that from simost all points upon it a fine view of that avenue ts’ pre- Sented. It ia, for these and other surroundings al- ready suggested, the best piece of land along the line of the avenue just named. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY. ‘This tract contains about 181 building lots. .Waver- ley street is already finished, and in consequence of the make of the land little labor will be necessary to grade the streets and prepare the lots for the -erec- tion of houses. MEANS OF ACCESS 1s by Hariem steam and horse ratlroadé already in operation, which communicate with the lower pact of the city of New York, and other routes of commu: nication already projected, one of which—namely; - the Pacific road already mentioned—must result im the erection ef depots in this vicinity which will be necessary for the transaction of its business and for the accommodation of the residents of this part of - Westchester county. COMPARATIVE VALUE. On the different avenues in the city of New York ota which are equidistant from the City Halt com- mand thousands of dollars, although the boutevards ‘ are not yet finished, and may not be for years to come. Central avenue, however, which ts’ com- pleted, as already stated, penetrates a diversiged and beautiful country, and these lots are but a few minutes’ walk from the railroads which connect with the lower part of New York city. In addition to this tt must be borne in mind that there is every prospect wogth considering that this land will be- come a part of the city of New York, and when that: union takes place, and it may be accomplished in a short time, these lots will be tripled in value. It must not be overlooked either, that, even if the union does not take place the authority of the Commtssion- ers of Central Park over this land, which must beex- ercised to its very great benefit, will be sufficient. to advance ita value at least one hundred per cent. It should not be forgotten either, that the completion of an underground railroad or any increased facility of communication with New York will make this localt- ty not only desirable, but indispensable. This tract, therefore, ts comparatively much cheaper than the land on the island of New York corresponding in distance from the great centres of business, because of its beauty and the more complete condition of its outleta.
