Washinotor, April Id, 1869 The whole sale lists of nominations which came in'yesterday proved a “stunner’’ to tbe politicians and olttce bunlers generally, sb it proved that President Grant Is determined to make a clean sweep of the consular and diplomatic appointees. It also de velop d the fact that a great many men. Whom nobody suspected for a moment of having any baLkcring after oUlce, were slyly doing their best to have Ibelr names among the lucky ones. One ol the proprietors of n very successful newspaper here, which since me advent ot Grant's administration has bien very Oramith, bat before the election was rather edneervaliee, was, it appears, an aspirant I jrun Asseseorsbip in Maryland. He managed . r-is cards so adroitly that scarcely anybody ene ptc>ed him of being a candidate ill I yesterday Luoroing. He could not restrain himself, and told several of hi* frltnds that “it was all Axed, and that bis name was lo come in this | yesterday ] uiicfDoon." Tbe good news becitne noised -round, bnt, alas! for the uncertainty of political calculations, the name of another man wde settl i.i tor the place! I have not seen my worthy frieod to-day, ro coi dole with bim npon his disappoint ment' lLdecd. ho bos kept bunsel! very secluded ever t ince, and it will be some days before bo re- Mirncs bis usual equanimity. Tbe nomination to-day of Charles A. Daua, ol the New York Nrrn, to the Appralserablp in tbe New York Cuslom-bonee, exuled a great deal ol comment, as It was not known that Mr. Dana was an eoplicant for the position. Indeed, some ttemid !u mink that be bad higher aspiration ibaD this, and if he accepts the position it will surprise many people. THE ASSESSOItSHII- riKm DISTIttCT rENNST VASIA. On M&nday, tbe President sent to tbe Senato tbe name of Edwin T. Chose, as assessor for tbe Flilb Disliict, Pennsylvania, which was bailed as a good appointment, Mr. Chase having hod considerable experience in tbe internal revenae service, having been removed from the same position by President Johnson. He was recom mended for re-appointment by Becretary Boyle. But Mr. Cbase by ihlß lime will realize that • tuirt.’a many a slip ’twin the enp and tbe Dp," for under the caucus arrangement of tbe Penn sy-vania Republican Congressmen, the control ot the Republican districts was given to the Re publican Representatives, and the Democratic districts to Senators Cameron and Scott. Thu Fifth District is claimed to be Republican, Mr Caleb Taylor, Republican, contesting the seat of tbe silting member. Under tbe circumstances, Mr. Taylor claimed the right to name tbe Assessor; and althongb Commiesionir Delano bad recommended Mr. Chase, and cent bis came to the President, whe transmitted it to the Benate. it was withdrawn yesterday, and tbe namu ol James Ashworth sent to tbe Senate to-day by the President for the l>ofiliou. So Mr. Chase is emphatically “left ont in tbe cold.” Mr. Ashworth is a clerk in the counling-bouse of Cope & Brothers, of Philadel phia-, and was a soldier In the Union armv. He was the choice of Representative Caleb Taylor. It is understood that Collector Barnsley, of the Fifth District, will not bo disturbed. The American Journal of the hfedical Sciences , for April, edited by Dr. Isaac Hays, contains forty-tight lengthened articles, and a summary < f parogiophs from the principal periodicals of the profession.

T&o selections, ■ tier the Instillment of the tremendous novel bv "lelor Hugo, necessarily seem a little Hit, but bey are good of their hind, various and readable. There are plenty of illustrations, paragraphs and abort articles for the cursory reader.

Tbo typographical appearance of Appleton s is it little better than that of any of the American «ci kites, with perhaps one exception; and it is cheap, selling at ten cep Is.

(Coi i ■ .pondcncs ol lb* Philadelphia Evening ti:,U- tin ] Paris, April 2,1869.—The Easter holidays, as urual, have pat a stop to almost all movements eiibcr in business or politics daring tbe present auk. Indeed, to ench a degree of platitude hove we fallen in this respect ,that yesterday morning ibe telegraph from Madrid actually re port! dtp ns the astounding Intelligence that "ibe chimney of tbo Eateian Embassy in that ct-pllnl had lohcn'flre, ond’, part of "the roof had bten destroyed!” This is positively a (act,, and ■ he telegrsm is now lying-before hie. /fohe nitre, ’ -ho day previous the' satko mean’s of; communication '’ bad . '.transmitted o ns ihe announcement that all Spain had been made happy by tbe promulgation of a new con -lituiion (I forget' how many this makes daring ibe last half, century), though I am not euro bat tat the incident abont tie “chimney of the Rds -lan Embassy” did' not produce very nearly as □inch effect npen the Bourse and the -money market ns the tact that tbe,Bpanish people were »nce moie declared lo be free—on paper!. The Cortes have also voted, of coarse,, a new loan on the occasion. “Making now'. Constitutions’ is an expensive process, and always secrnc o require a deal of momy. The imperial gov • - rument berc has been borrowing money for the fast fifteen yeare r and ’ itt constitution is not "made” yet. As lor that of SpaiD, it reads very well, as 1 have said, on paper. But the question will it work? ’Or rather, will the Bpanlsb oplc be able to work il? Or, who will they lit to work it for them? Their present leader -uve already made a mess of the last revolution nd marred a popular -.movement which, f laim at ILq ‘ flood, might ' really -a vo lid tbe way to better fortunes. Bat imtesd of carrying tbe natjon for ward on the top of tbe tide, when indignation was tbe nniversal feeling, and the people with -me voice protested against the degradation o 1 tbe rule of Isabella, and would gladly have oc' ■■ pt< d ber virtuous sister and an Orleans Prince -s successors to the throne which the national will bed declared vacant—Prim and his esso istes seemed to become intoxicated with their ’.riumpb,gave way to personal vanity and love of ,-owcr and display, and tost tbe golden opportu nity for closing at once the revolutionary ra. It doesn’t do in such countries ’ is Spain, full of intrigues and political parties, nd with an intriguing neighbor, to leave thrones vacant 100 long. If yon do, there will be emal 1 chance of agreement at last in a choice. What be leaders of tbe movement at Cadiz had got to Jo was IbiB: They bad to consider whether the -punish people were fitted for a republican form "f government, op capable of working it out; and if, as was acknowledged by oil the best friends ol Spain, and by the bead republicans of Spain—by □ch men, for Distance, as Oloziga himself— -bia was not the case, then to go right ahead in the other direction: propose at once an unex ceptionable candidate for the throne, and bring bim in on the lop of the tide. Bnt they who nesilate in such a position are lost; and the Bpia *b leaders did nothing; nothing, that is, bat pa lade themselves. Meanwhile, they have given beir rivals and enemies, secret and open, interna) and external, time to recover themselves and re nrgnnlze their plots and machinations. These bave been all now long at work, and I fear with sufficient effect to render a peaceful solution of the great questions still at Ibsur extremely doubtful in short, there was a moment when tbe decision of the Spanish nation as to Us fnture destinies might bave been almost unanimous. Now, it is very much to be apprehended that any decision will only prove the Eignal for civil war. Bnt enough on this nebulous subject of Spanish politics, which time only can enlighten. Here in Paris we have bad a week of gloom, the en joyment of our Easter holidays having been sadly Liurrtd by the unpropition* state of the -It meuls. Rarely has snch an Easter- Vliuday been witnessed in this gay metropolis. Paris woke to find itself in mid winter, with several inches of snow on the siound, and a Siberian blast from the north * biriicg tbo chilly covering as it fell in most un inviting and un-Eastcrlike fashion. Ala*! for the new bonnets and spring fashions which had r romised to air themselves in the Bois du Bou ogic and other favorite promenades! Aud alas, to, for ihe gallant velocipedists who had hoped ,o sport their “nags” and display their skill iu be satne localities! There waa nothing i r It but to take to the cild aud he restaurant, the theatre and the club, Instead >1 ibe out-of-door exhibition. Fortunately,there □as been a slight change for the better the last iwo days, otherwise the prospects of tbo spring ,nd cummer might have been seriously compro mistd-by this unoxampled severity. Even as it is, I fear no slight damage must bave been In dicted on the vines, almonds, olives and peach irtesof Ihe South, nil of which were in a slate of premature and dangerous advancement, owing to the mildness of tho preceding months. Parisian social gayeties are jaet beginning to break out again, after a short respite during tbe Iloly Week. American salons, as usual, lead the way, and the favor lie rendezvous of fashion three ul*bts ago was the annual bal maiqui of Mrs Dpwning, in the Avenue de lTmperatrice. "Undies only were permitted to wear masks, in order to intrigver-, thut Is, puzzle and bewllde r the other sex, which they certainly did contrive to do on the occasion in question to a pretty considerable extent, until compelled to reveal their respective Identities, according t o rule, at 1 o’clock. There was no small astonishment raanl tested in some cases,when faces came to bo unco vered,aud the real instead of the suspected owner stood before you tn propria persona. Two of tbe most effective disguises weie those of a couple of 5 oung danrselß in bibs and tuckers and pinafores, supposed to be “infanta” of ten or twelve years old, but turning out to be no other than the ele gant Mrs. B. aud her charming sister, of tho ago of ——, but no! 1 must not even make an approxi mate guess, in so delicate a direction. At the present moment all Paris is on tho tiptoe of excitement and expectation for ihe ball *of Mr. Burlingamo, the iuvilationsto which are issued in the name of the AJinietre de Chine. The curiosity about this eu. urtainment la qulto wonderful, and people seoiu to expect something very extraordinary iu the Hoiel of the Chinese Embassy, la the. Champs Ely teta.Jhough Iu what it is to consist nobody as yet appears usknow. Some ladies wish to be informed whether it la the custom of £fio Ckiuoso, when “receiving company,'’ to embrace ail their ’temalo gucats $ as, in that ease, and yueslif Susquehanna.

Tbe value of that compliment is not diminished, but increased, by tbe fact that we have hi re, I believe hi very ncpqnol proportions, -eprescniativcs of both those great political par 'll 8 into Which this country is- divided, .nciuding among them tho ’honorable representatives of tbe Executive power of tbit* part of. tbe United KiUgdom.

On tbe subject of foreign affairs Lord Stanley said that notwithstanding various gloomy prognostication?, be looked forward, on ibe whole, hopt fully to the maintenance ot peace in Europe, and il that peace should be disturbed be ,confidently anticipated that this country would be abiu to maintain a central attitude. With regard to tbe American question he ad mitted that there had been a failure in the negoti ations, but bo did not lake a gloomy view of oar relations with tbe United Stales. He had very great faith 1b Ibe good sense of tbe American people, and did not think they could wish to in crease tbeir present difficulties by getting into iro,b quarrels. Great Britain had offered to sub mit loan arbitration the question whether inicr oatlonal wrong bad been committed, and what ver happened she bad in so doing put herself In the right. CUBA. The executions of Leon and medium— Another ft lot. Havana, Saturday, April 10,1869 Due notice bad been given by tbe various city pupers that Mohs. Francisco Leon and Augustin Medina would be garroled to-day, having been convicted is leaders of the riot in Figureas street in Jan aniy last, when the first named, without any ifSistance. kept a respectable number of police officials at bay, killing and wounding several, the second having also con quered his antagonist at the same time. Bat no notice bad been given that the usual Sunday as lassiuations, matsaares. and. Iho rest of the per formance, had been changed to Friday. Every nody expected some kind of a disturbance yes n rday, and nobody wag disappointed. Long before 11 A. M., the boar fixed ior the execution, tbo snrronndlng streets and places looking to ward il)e«Sunta were filled to overflowing by a motley crowd of the Cuban, Spanish and negro rabble. U Leon came ont of jail with a firm walk ; and on passing a fellow-pinner shook hands with him,and was told by „.. piisoucr "not to forget bis commission.” On reaching the platform Leon requested to be permitted to say a few words, which was granted. Beginning in alow voice be asked God to forgive him his sins, that bo died contrite and under the full conviction that bis death would be terribly avenged by his com panions. Then, raising his voice, he shouted loud enough to be heard by ail present: “Vi ra la Independencia." “ Viva la Ce.tpedes y mueron los Espunoles." At that momenta shot was fired at the con demned, the bullet passing between him and ihe executioner, the latter pushing Leon quickly into Ihe fatal chair. In half a second the iron ting was adjusted, a turn of tho screw, a convul sive movement of the muscles, and Leon was no more. VV bile (his execution was taking place on the scaffold, murders of another nature were being enact'd outside of the cordon of volunteers lorincd around Ibc platlorm. A negro shot at cne of the mounted policemen, bnt missed him, and the, police officer cut him down with bis sword. The rush which then took place cannot te ducribed; several hundred carriages and about ten thousand people tried to run away irom the scene. Men, women and children were thrown down and trampled on by the excited inuliilude. Shoots of “Jfuera Erpaila,” with an ceasional shot or cry ;of pain, were beard, and n 1(89 than two minutes the whole place was cleaied. ( At the same time, the second prisoner, Medina, imd been brought to the platform and executed. He tried to make himself beard, but the music drowned bis voice. Bhots were fired on the popu lace by regular troops and volunteers. Several persons pressed in the volunteer uniform fired - rum a housetop on tho Calrade San Lazuro. F.ight persons met their death daring the melee. ihoul thirty shots, in ail, having been fired by volunteers into the crowd and by men of tbo bat talion of artillery just returned lroin the interior. The volunteers guarding ihe scaffold, about one ihonssnd.mcn, did not join in the tumult, re maining at their post atd behaving well, dad they fired on the people the deaths »ould have amounted to hundreds.
