The naval
nominations were confirmed as submitted. I have labored hard to have as little

some worthy officers.
Randall, appointed
Postmaster-General in place of Dennison, this day attended the Cabinet-meeting,
and Harlan sent in his resignation. He was at the meeting of the Cabinet, but
made no mention of it at that time.
Mr. Stanbery, the
Attorney-General, read the rough notes, as he called them, of an embryo report
on the subject of filling vacancies. The paper possesses ability.
