o. 1t is rumored that Gov. CAss
has resigned the War Ofiice-that Mr..
FORSYTH has quit the State Department
that Mr.. WOODBURY. will be promoted
to that Department-and that KENDALL
has declared his intention of conducting
his Office without making it san election
eering machine for the benefit Of Martin
Van Buren,.
The above rumors have been rife for
several days past. Cass and Forsyth are
both absent at this time from Washing
ton.-Their withdrawal is attributed to
the appointment of Mr.. Kendall as Post
master General.
o. A Lancaster Pay paper states
that the Office of POSTMASTER GENERAL
was offered to Gov. WOLF, but that his
excellency declined taking. 1t is also
stated that the Kitchen Cabinet are in
agony at the split in the party in Penn
sylvania.
The prospect of Wheat ia represented
to be gloomy in Maryland as well as in
Virginia. A gentleman told us day or
two since, that the Wheat in Lancaster
county looks very we'll. In some parts
of this county, the prospect is very fiat.

has generally failed.
The above paragraph we copy from
the Carlisle Herald, printed in CUMsER-
LAND county, Pa. During our absence,
we sojourned in a county adjoining the
above, FRANKLIN, and noticed several
fields of Wheat and Rye, as promising
as any we had ever before behed. The
farmers, however, were lamentng the
general prospect in that county, as being
unpromising.
In this quarter the prospect is truly
bad; and we hear great complaint Of
the ravages ofthe fy.-[ED. INT.

In the anniversary address Of Professor
Tucker, before the Virginia Historical
Society, the following singular fact is |
mentioned as connected with the History
of Virginia:
I'm the year 1647, lawyers were for

1868 THEY WE'RE EXCLUDED FROM THE

O. In the letter Of Mr.. Speaker |
BELL, published in the National Intelli- |
gencer of Tuesday last, dated Nashville,
May 4, 1885. we find the following re-
marks
"When those who know how, and
by whom, this meeting was got up, shall
think proper to speak, it will appear,
that, so far from being the author Of it,
1 was sought TO be made victim by it.
And though / would not have thought
it improper to have been the adviser Of
such meeting, with The possible ex-
ception above slated, yet l desire the
truth to be thrown before the public,
that the unparalleled disihgenhousness
and efrontery of those who have con-
certed these attacks in the Globe upon
me, may be exposed, as they Deserve"
Now we would like to ''khow how, and
by whom, this meeting was got up 7" (the
meeting of a portion of the delegation of
Tennessee in Washington, who nomi-
mated Judge White for the Presidency
and how MIR. Bell himself was sought
TO BE MADE VICTIM BY IT." How |
could Mr.. Bell 10 made ITS VICTIM, and
Judge White escape' Ifthe getters up !
of the meeting intended to immediate Bell.

followP We think so. Are we then to
conclude, as heretofore suggested by
"Fair Play" in our columns, that it was
not the real friends of either Bell or
