The Sentae adjourned to-day at one O. clock, sine die. They have passed upon a great number of ominatons-confrning with very few exceptions, all that were sent 10 them by the President Indeed, the won der is that so few were rejected, considering the vast number of appointments to be made, the hosts of applicants for almost every of flee, aad the very short time which ihe Pre- sdent had to consider the evidence of cha racter and fitness, and 10 settle the compara- tive merit of rival claimants We have sta ted before that the executive has continued in almost constant cabinet session, and the senate i'll executive session, ever since the fourth of March It is conceded on all hands that the appointments, so far as known, com bine all the clements of character, ability, and fitness for the various offices to which they have been appointed, which ensure q faithful discharge of duty, and correspond ing benefit 10 the public service.

 The country must approve and sustain the course oi the President upon the subject of appointments to office. His object seems to be, to fill the offices of the government with the highest grades of talet and moral charac- ter, calculated to give dignity qndimpor!ance to such situations, both at nome and abroad And We are well assured, too, that what ap- pears to be his settled purpose in regard to applicants for office, will be adhered to until reform in that matter is effected The sys- tenn which has heretofore prevailed of be- sieging the white house, and of pressing up on the president their applications with un- ceaslng importantly, must be reformed A proper self-respect, and the necessity of dis charging the executive duties with dignity and efficiency, alike require that the annoy ing habit of continuous personal solicitation, should be greatly diminished. Itwould seem to be natural dictate of common sense. to suppose that the man who, after presenting his application for an office, would remain for weeks, to annoy and importune the Pre- sident with personal solicitations, would scarcely possess that dignity and manlness of character, which would best fit him for the office desired At all events, whether we judge wrongly or rightly in this matter, 1t is fair inference from passing events, and there are many, who, in their own cases, may prove 1t to be true.- Constitution.
