Tho late Senator from Connecticut, Mr. JOIN
Nj. Niles. is the New Post Master General ah'
this move must have struck Mr. Grundy
very severely under the fifth rib, according to al
accounts, as the managing clique that defeated
the election of an administration Speaker, and
the nomination of Vice President, expected ''au
the honorsn for these essential services FehA
has been casting longing eye on this Soooo pei
annum, for some time, but he considers al pre-

the busho Gen. Armstrong was the only man
to suit those who have taken upon themselves
the direction of affairs, but the Northern men
kicked severely, as Tennessee had already her
full share of the honors, and there is an evident
disposition to cut her hereafter, for the two Jdnr
pas mentioned above
The request of the administration members that
Paulding should be removed, has met with Sc
we're rebukc from the President, who told them
cit is impossible He and |, are old family ac-
0uaintance, and cannot think it correct to re-
move him. One would imagine that the Secre-
tarv of the Navy had as much brass in his face,
as there is copper on the bottom of the big ship
PENNSYLVANIA, if he holds on much longer There
is not one voice raised in his favor-his petty
aristocracy and official nsolence has created dis

by visiting him. 1t is probable that the Presl-

growlings of thunder among the Senators and
Representatives, if he does not clear the
Kitchen before the adjournment of Congress
If divisions are created in the administration
ranks, the wire pullers will have one to blame
but themselves.
Caucuses are the orders of the night, and the
keystone delegation are moving every thing to
force the President into the choice of new Ca
binet, in which it is to be hoped, place will be
found for Samuel ID. Ingham, one who suffered
Z long from the neglect of the party managers
Another cause Of unity among the Pennsylvania
ans, is the prospective view of the Presidency
for Mr. Buchanan, in 1914: he is boldly avow-
ed as their candidate, and fierce adherence to
him. will create some difficulties with the great
quarter of the Union, owing to the "Sober Sec
ond thought of the People" From present APP
pearances, the contest will be between Messrs
Calhoun and Buchanan, two OF the strongest
men in the ranks of the administration party
Unless something should turn up, the lines ofthe
party will be drawn into some half dozen quar-

The next Vice Presidency will, in all proba-
-bility, 60 to the Senate, and in any event, that
body will select Col johnson, for allowing every
change to the Wing party, the administration
will have some half dozen majority. The Vice
President leaves for home in couple OF weeks,
and Col. King viii doubtless support the Chair.
From present appearances, we shall get through
business in about two months, if Ton, Benton has
no objection. You are aware that he is consid-
cred citizen of w ashington, and lately said in
Senate, that he would agree to no motion fixing
a day for adjournment until he thought the Ma
ton and salt was safe. As he claims some follow
ers in the Senate, he therefore defeated MIR.
Lpmpkins motion, to adjourn on the 18th of
June.
WASHINGTON, May 18th, 1910.
The Administration members of the House in
caucus, have agreed to take up the sub-Treasu-
nv BILL 1t will probably be brought before the,
House next week, and become the special order
after the Privilege Question and Reports on
Printing are disposed of. There are important
appropriation bills before the committee of the
whole, but the majority have probably counted
the cost of postponing these public bills for the
Sub-Treasury bill.
Col. johnson, hear, will vacate his seat a
President of the Senate, in a few days He ha
broken up housekeeping, and is making prepa
rations to absent himself. presume he i
anxious to escape from a daily communicable,
with class of men who are but his pretende
friends. Like Mr. Forsyth, he is disappointe
and Disguised, but unlike the Georgian, he ha
the President personally hostile to his re-eIe,
