WASHINGTON, March 23.--The Cabinet session yesterday was remarkably short, and only unimportant routine business was presented for consideration. It was generally expected that the New Orleans Collectorship would be discussed, if not finally disposed of, but it seems the President is unable to decide which one of the numerous candidates he will nominate. Mr. Geo. Williamson, whose nomination for the position was recently rejected by the Senate, has arrived here. It is understood his friends claim a renomination on the ground that he was rejected because he was serving in an official capacity outside of the jurisdiction of the United States. The President does not give any indication of an intention to reconsider Mr. Williamson's claim.
The friends of Ex-Governor Packard are still confident that he will yet receive the nomination. He is strongly backed by several members of the Cabinet and a large number of influential Republicans outside of the Administration.
