LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.

IIdSh1ngfon, REQ. 70. 1873.
Gentlemen.-Since the new cabinet has been
announced great deal OF discomfort has manifest
ed itself among some OF the Virginia gentlemen. -
The speaker, Mr.. Randolph and Mr.. P. +. Bar
bour scarcely make a secret of their dlspleasure
at the new cabinet arrangements and am incln-
cd to believe that the spirit Of dissatisfaction will
extend still further South. It IS pretty generally
said that Mr.. Calhoun will not have so much lntu
ence in the cabinet as was first supposed and if
not his friends will be likely enough to fall away
from the administration. Mr.. Ingram walks
about the house with slow step and lips compressed,
gives audiences on the sofas Of the House OF Re-
representatives., takes part in the business OF the
House. and never answers when the ayes and noes
are called The Tennessee men are very much
about him. but | do not see that he is particularly
intimate with any others from the South There
will be new combination. very shortly, and am in
clined TO think that they will be OF more lmpcr
tance than is anticipated.
Mr.. Webster yesterday, offered 10 the Senate a
resolution, calling for the instructions given to our
ministers who were sent to Panama. To-day the
resolution was taken up and discussed, and finally
was laid on the table by vote OF 20 to @2. The
opposition to the resolution oct of an apprc
hensfon that the President, prottng by the discus.
sons which have taken place on the suDJect, would
80 frame the instructions which he would have sub
mitted under the call, as TO have taken away the
ground from under those who have been vocit-
erous in bringing accusations against hun. This
apprehension has had its origin in the consciousness
that they have made charges against him, without
foundation in truth, or evidence in fact. Mr.. Web
ster most ably supported bis resolution. In fact.
the whole Senate stand 10 awe Of his powers, and
in the discussions which will take place during the
next two or three winters, all eyes will be directed
70 him. MIR. Tazewe, is very much annoyed by
paragraph in the National Journal. noticing the
publication of the letters which he originally circu
lated through the Norfolk Herald on the subject of
the West India Trade, in Il pamphlet form IN Lon
DON with TIE name Of the Hon. Litteton w. Taze-
well 10 the title page as the author. This is fine
specimen of his fitness to be the American minister
TO Great Britain, published az the argument is in
that country to sustain the British side OF the gues-
ton.
In the House of Representatives. to-day, the sub
iec of re prtnting the scarce documents reSnm-
ed, and Mr.. Hoffman, whose eloqnence, may be
compared to the Jolthg OF cart on rough road,
has been illuminating the House with a history of
the Navy Pension Fund, which by some kind Of
hocus yocns he ugged into the debate, and which the
speaker had sagacity enough find OPT 10 be rele-
want to the subject. He spoke until the hour had
expired, and probably intends TO speak out the scs-
sion and thus give the 60 by to the resolution The
other main business Of the day has been the bill to
compensate Susan Decatur, &C. The bill appro-
prated 100000 dollars 10 he distributed among
the officers aud crew Of the Intrepi and great
effort was made to ensraIt upon it the claims OF the
officers and crews board the boats Of the Syreu
The amendments, however, We're all rejected, and
the previous question was called aud sustained
when the bill itself was rejected by vote Of ayes
so noes 88.
There is great division fsentiment here on the
