WASHINGTON, Nov. lG. 1887.
We are ia a remarkable condition never
saw poor Van Buren, in such distress he appears
be- Several days after the reached him, lie would
not suffer any person approach the White House,
save his Cabinet Every thing is in utter confusion
speeding the next Message. No single point has been
agreed upon. Forsyth Woodbury. and Dickerson are
out Of favor sadly. One thing is determined upon by
Mr. Van Buren,. lie uW positively change lis Catiaet
do not know how soon, but he will change it. The
late ruor as to the character Of this change atogeih
er wrong. Before your election the President was
easy gay familiar and perfectly satisfied with his Cab
net The state Of the times is 10 be consulted, and
change cH take place probably after The opening Of Con-
qress have ascerained one highly important fact on
this point Butler Kendall and Poinse viii remain in
the Cabnet-al the others will march. This change
do not think will be popular but is stated with great
confidence that Rvcs Of Virginia will take The place of
Forsyth Secretary of State IL is supposed that this
appointment wond concliate the angry Conservatives
and bring about reaction favorable the President
have heard that any disposition made Of Tamadge
Ct your State.
The retention of Kendall will however, be very oh.
noxious TO the conservatives, for to him they attribute
all their dlicultesbut strange tell, Van Buren, is
infatuated with that man.
One of the most painful things to Van Buren, is the
knowledge now beyond doubt that his old friends in
Albany have secretly defeated him. Crosswell & Co..
have been specializing wildly during the last two years
and it is believed they will lose Sl50o,000 among the
confcderates The policy of Mr.. Kendall has produced
this effec,-hence the great breach in the party
The CONSERVATION in Philadelphia has been very
great Mr. Van Buren, received, the other day, letters
from the government officers and others there entreat
ing HIM to take and original position. Wolf,
Muhlenburg and others have signed this request They
state that the ground is broken, they will
call a great public meeting in Philadelphia, and come
out in its favor They positively that the nextgov
ernors election in Pennsyvan will be lost if the ques
ton Of dioorce Of bank state be abandoned and
some new ground adopted. Ii is their belief that this
must be done, and done promptly, the whole Union
will follow New York.
On all these points, however there is great deal Of
uncertainty. The President is uncommonly busy and
exceedingly secret. never such hustle in the
cret passages of the upper and under cabinets
introduced to Mr. Kendall for the first time yesterday
He is a singular looking man, and bears the appear
of Robespierre Olivier lie Dam. had long
talk with him. whch will write you in my next. il pos
sible. Felix Grundy good deal with the President
in private Felix has given him account Of the eec
ton in your city, and thinks that your paper the Herald
did the party essential injury from the strange and
Unprecedented course it took. Van Buren, remarked
Bennett is a man Of talents but erraiic."
Cambreleng has written TO Van Buren, saying I"
cannot stand a candidate next election l have had
enough" He aims at the Collectorship, but Van Buren,
saws yoa must not think Of that office" There
strong applications before him. in favor of VIM s. Coe
and Mr.. vanderpool but doubt whether either will
get it. There is n disposition conciliae the Conser-
vatives, and Benjamin Brdsall, Preserved Fish, or
Gideon Lee has as good chance any. Cambreleng
will be sent to France spring understand l ad-
wise him to begin and take lessons in the French Ian
guage.
gcaeral change is projected, throughout all the de
partmeuts and in the various Offices throughout the
country II is stated here that half the Custom House
electioneered for the Wings in your city. The names
are collecting fast, and all Office holders, who
trail even NAV expect 20 lose their heads in less than
year.
The President is determined ls make dreadful fight
