Some days since. | wrote you that the removal
OF Peter g. Washington had been formally deter
mined upon by the Cabinet. Unless something
iranspirss not now anticipated, bis successor al
be appointed on Monday or Thursday next lCsbi-
net dsysl at the fsrthest. Mr. Pearson of Penn Is
still here, backed by powerful influence iron his
State and with high hopes Of success. The seiec-
,,oa of Hon. WALTER FORWARD as Solicitor OF
tho Treasury Ia the plsce OF Mr. Gillctt seems 20
me to mase II a matter of both impropriety and
imprsctcsbllity that the head OF an Important
Bureau should slso be- taken Immediately from
the same State that already has the Secretary and
Solicitor Of the Treasury. Ii may, nevertheless,

prompted him TO the step. The foolish stO-y 10
circulation that he was impelled % the sit by
dissstisiactlon Of any kiad with the Admlnslra-
top, is without the slightest foundation IN point
Of fact. Pecanlsry considerations Alone have 10
