To ilia President?Sib: You were kind enough, without my solicitation, or any knowledge on my part that you contem? plated such a thing, to nominate me for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.. Since that time, the flood-gates of calumny in all directions have been opened npon mo, my abili? ties been disparaged and my integrity brought iu question, and it seems to me that a public opinion adverse to my ap? pointment bus been created which might hereafter embarrass your admi? nistration and perhaps impair my use? fulness upon tbe bench.

January 9.?Tho re? ceipts from customs are so variable as to afford no data ut present ou which to base hopeful calculations ooncerning the future. It is, however, supposed at the Treasury Department, that in ubont tep days, the receipts will be more uniform. The Commissioner of In? ternal Revenue is much encooruged by tbe receipts of his bureau. So far, for this month, they are $3,000,000, aud the prospect is they will soou be restored to what they were before the late panic; thus fulfilling bis calculation of 3100, 000,000 annually. Several of tbe mem? bers of the Appropriation Committee think the estimates will bo cut dowu about $10.000,000, but that this will not bo suffioient to bring the expendi? tures of the Government within ih? receipts from all sources for tbe next fiscal year. Therefore, some measure of treasury relief will be necessary. As to what thin shall be, there is at present no indication. Purties, however, will not act hastily on the subject. The names of several gentlemen are publicly mentioned in conueotiou with the Chief Justiceship, including those of Senators Morton aud Howe?the former moro prominently; but up to noon, uothiug could bo obtained iu offi? cial quarters concerning the subject, which may be a'matter of Cabinet ad? visement to day.

If it bu not always in your power to speak to the purpose, it certainly is to bu silent; and though thousands have remembered with pain thoir garrulity, few huvo had reason to repent their silence. Tho names of the senrae'i who were suffocated in tho bulk Adolpb, ut Wil? mington, are W. N. Schutt, John O. 11. Schutt and J. II. Schutt, brothers; also, C. F. J. Killermauu aud F. II.

Of; course, tbe captain discharges the an-! eietit mariuer ut once,.aud tho ancient manner takes the overland express for New York. It is a well concocted narra? tive for a 'prentice huud, and more c?n-, sistent than that mere famous tale of; auother ancient mariner about tho alba-; trots And one can hardly expect a San Francisco reporter to know that the Earl of Denbigh has been twice mar-j jied. but never to a "party by tho name of Hardin." The most amusing thing; about the tale, however, is the fact that the New York Heruld solemnly copies it all for gospel, pnblibhes it with flaming' head-lines as u "phase of tbe great Har-i iliu will casein Now York," and dubs' tho hero "a tarry millionaire." "Tarry millionaire" i? good?very good. "Fishy) millionaire" would, however, perhaps be belter. Inquests and Homicide ?The Coro jier, A.

At a quarter to 12, the market bell began to toll, followed by the .other bells in order. This was continued until the* hour of 12, whon a cannon was fired off, at which signal all the bells in town commr-nced ringing rapidly.
