WAsHINGTON. 2tst January, 1884.

 It was currently reported here yesterday, that MT. Fancy would be nominated to Eng land, and that Mir. Stevenson would he trans ferred te the Treasury. The report probably originated from the circumstance, that Mir. Stevenson spent most of the day On Saturday at the Treasury Department and the infer ence was drawn, that he went to see how he liked it.. Iplace no reliance on the report. for reasons heretofore assigned. and for the addi- tional reasons. that Mir. Stevenson knows nothing of financierng, nor does he possess the patience requisite for the perplexing duties of the office, cor the requisite talent of inves- tigation to get along, even ordinarily we'll ; and besides, he has set his heart on London. He wants to go there, and redeem the charac- ter of Old Virginia frOsD the ridicule brought upon it by the eccentricities of Mir. Randolph. He has an idea he can make better bow than any of our Ministers that have gone abroad lately. and that the dignity. suavity, and hos

 ptality of Virginia are centered in him, and will die with him ; and he wished them to be displayed tn foreign lands, to be initiated and admired. Mr. Van Buren's friends boldly say. if the Senate DARE to reject the nomination of Mir. Fancy, they will run him with Mir Van Buren. Prudence requires them to be less free in their remarks. or they may with draw the veil from Pennsylvania and Ken

 lucky. The majority in the Senate is fear less in the discharge of their daty. and it is l very certain they will not he oyerawed. No majority in the Senate, under the eonstitu- ton, has possessed more talent. purity. in flexible integriiy, patriotism, and nnffinching determination of purpose to save the country, than those who form the present majority. Mir. Bayard was confirmed by the Senate this afternoon as a Director of the Bank of the United States. The other persons nominat- ed by the President, continue to hold their stations under their former appointments, but their nominations have not heen acted on.
