The districts to which these appointees are to be assigned have not yet been fully determined. _ The appropriation for the payment of bounty to volunteers, their widows and legal heirs only, for the pay of two and three year volunteers, has been exhausted. The committee appointed to count the cash in the Treasury and unfinished notes in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing completed their work. Phe cash and unfinished notes correspond with the Treasury books. Several days ago a delegation from the Order of Good Templars of the District of Columbia called on the President and.left with him a written address urging him to make diligent inquiry as to the personal habits and associations of the persons he should appoint to offices in the District. In reply to the address the President said: I read your address late last night with great interest It is something tangible, and if all men would come to me as you have my labor would be greatly lessened. The temperance people are good people and friends of law and order. Before I left New York I determined to give the District a good government; but there are so many conflicting claims that I am sometimes at a loss to know what to do. But you come with clear statements, of which 1 will take further notice.
