There has been intense excitement to-day
among the stock aud gold operators in re
gard 20 the report Of the Secretary of the
Treasury. IL has leaked out that II will
materially affect prices in the market.
lt Is rumOred that 10 viii have n tendency
to put up stocks aud reduce the premium
ON gold. No one. expect those through
whose hands 1t must necessarily pass, have
seen the report, and these will not divulge
a word In regard to IL.
The Secretary himself has manifested
anxiety 10 have IT Kept secret and the doc
ument has been securely locked up until
the time Tor its delivery tO Congress.
The city Is already crowded with Sena-
tors, Congressman Office seekers and lob
bymen.
A difficulty h anticipated Ia the organ
ization of the House. The only contest of
any importance will be in regard to the
Sergeaut-at-arms for which there are -four
candidates. This will probably be mar
rowed down to Ordway and Colonel Rus
sci la the caucus Tomorrow night.
The Southern meu who are here will not
press their claims for seats ia the prclmi-
nary proceedings of the House. but viii
walt until aitcr the organization 10 present
| their credentials unless some of them
should be- previously invited in upon mo-
ton. .#
The only topics OF importance that are
| talked of are the report OF the Secretary of
| the Treasury aud the financial programme.
He will recommend the Mexican ques-
| tion and the reconstruction question.
Ii Is universally conceded that upon the
| latter the President will not concede, In any
particular, from the policy lac has already
unequiyocally announced. With regard 10
| Mexican affairs, be will strongly insist
upon the principle of the Monroe doctrine,
and without any recommendation, leave
Congress itself 10 decide what active meas
ures looking to its enforcement shall be in
augurated.
There Is not the slightest apprehension
entertained IN Administration circles about
"a rupture Of peace between our Govern
ment and either France or England. Not
Iwithstandmg the stOck-jObbing rumors set
lanoat, intimating collision on the Rio
Grande, IL IL certain that no act of hostility
there viii be- permitted or cOuntenanUed by
our Governments unless Congress shall so
Idlrect. ...... ..
| This viii elicit discussion in Congress,
which must last many months after the re-
construction question has been settled,
which viii come first In order.
| Hon. Salem Hooper the active member
and financial head Of the House Committee
on Ways aud Means, will he strongly
pressed for the Craftsmanship of that coin-
mittie. Raymond has been mentioned In
this connection, but IL Is considered that
the place belongs to either Hooper or Nor
rill, who were the most efficient members
of the committee during the last Congress.
| II Is whispered in court circles that there
has been little eiDte IN the Cabinet, on
account of the Presidents refusal 10 deposp
Governor Pierpont, of Vlrginia.ad appoint
"A Provisional Governor for the old common
wealth. The President strongly refuses 10
do So insisting that u would be totally in
consistent with his enmrnted policy, and
| all his Ideas Of right and justice .
The Presidents Message Is Ia be tcle-
| graphed simultaneously with the com
mencement of It's reading IN Congrrss II
will thus be- placed In the hands of readers
IN all the principal cities before the read
Ing of it In Congress will be- done
As the Northern members and the South
ern men who are here mihgle freely to-
gether, much better feeling than WAS an
ticipated in regard 60 the reconstruction
has been engendered. Every hour detracts
nom the antieipations 70 trouble in this re-
specf.
