the President.
New YORK, Dec. A special dis
patch says: Rumors are beginning to
circulate again of Il change i'll the State
Department. 1t is now said that Hon.
Reverdy Johnson is likely soon to take
the portfolio OF Secretary Seward. At
all events, it is pretty certain that
something is wrong, certainly, for it is
generally whispered in diplomatic cir
cles that Mr.. Seward will soon retire.
The Republican Senators met in eau
Gus to-day, for the purpose of arranging
the standing committees of the Senate.
The committee who have charge of the
matter were not ready to make their re-
port, and they adjourned to meet to-
morrow at IL o'clock. 1t appears there
is some difficulty in arranging the
craftsmanship for three or four import
ant committees, special committee
having decided to depose Doolittlc from
the position of Chairman Of the Indian
committee, Dixon from the PoStOilice
committee, and Cowan from the inn
portant positions on committees which
he holds. They are casting about to
get proper men to take these positions,
and this evening had not determined on
the proposed change. They will be
fully decided in to-mOrrOw'S caucus.
The Senators to he deposed have no idea
of what is going on.
After the committee question is dis
posed Of, move will be made i'll the
caucus to bring up the question of
electing.a new Vice President in the
place of Senator Foster. 1t will be OPP
posed by several Republican Senators,
who are disinclined 10 make any change
at present. The friends Of Senator
Wade, however, are determined 10 per-
sue the matter vigorously, ana secure
his election. 1t is said that there will
he no election until about the 4th Of
March.
1t is reported that Secretary Mccall
Tough, anticipating the action which
Congress is likely to take. has ordered
Mr.. Van Dyke, Assistant Treasurer, at
New York, 10 sell gradually ii few mil
lions of gold. 1t is pretty certain that
Congress will pass the bill which Gov
ernor Boutwell, submitted yesterday Oh
the subject. There has already aeon
mulatcd nearly SlUO,0C0,OOO in the
Treasury.
Representative Bingham, of Ohio,
emphatically denies the truth of the
paragraph extensively published that
he was preparing articles against the
President on the ground of completely
in the assassination of the late Presi-
dent Lincoln. He says he never had
such an idea. and therefore never 80 i'll

The Senate met at noon.
Mr.. Wade introduced n bill for the

The bill was read q second time and laid
on the table for the time being.
Mr.. Sherman offered a resolution pro-
viding that the reporters OF the United
States and European News Agency and
the Associated Press be provided with
seats on the floor.
Mr.. CONFESS asked to have it lie over
for the present, and it took that course.
The Senate bill passed by the House
to repeal the confiscation section OF the
act of 1862, i'll regard to suppressing in
surrections, &C., was discussed at some
length.
On a motion by Mr.. Chandler to pro-
ceed to its consideration, he reiterated
the charge that women OF questionable
character had hawked pardons about
this city. giving as his authority Il
Judge of the Supreme Court of this
district. He urged the passage OF the
bill.
Mr.. Howe thought it should be sent
to the Judiciary Committee, and that it
should not be hurriedly considered.
Mr.. Grimes opposed the considering
of the resolution now. He feared that
the country would regard this haste as
an attempt to incite the President TO do
the worry thing sought to be avoided.
Mr. Dickson, OF Conn, contradictcd
the statement made by Mr.. Chandler III
regard to the sale Of pardons, and said
there was no truth i'll it, although he
was not at liberty TO state the real facts
of the case now. He hoped the bill
would be referred to the Military com
mittce.
Mr. Trlmbull advocated referring the
bill for the present, hut hoped it would

HOUSE.

The House met at II o'clock, and after
prayer by the Chaplain, the Journal OF
Yesterday was read.
The Speaker laid before the House the
laws of the Territory Of DacOtah.
Mr.. Washhurnc, of H., offered a rcSolu-
ton calling on the Secretary of War 70
communicate tn the House the report of
the tour Of inspection Of Brcvet Brig
adler General Bahcock, made during
the past season, or such portions thereof
rs he may deem necessary to communl-
cate.
Mr.. Williams, of Pennsylvania, moved
to reconsider the bill regulating thes Zap
pointment to office, which was reported
hy him last session, and proceeded to
state his reasons Cor making the melton.
At this time the hill. he said, was of
great national Importance. He dis
cussed fully the policy which should
govern appointments and removals
from office, combating the idea that
the President has, or should have, an ir-
responsible right to remove, and QUOT
inT freely from political and legal de
cisions in support Of his position.
At the conclusion of Mr. Williams
speech, lie said he did not wish
TO press the passage of the bill NJ this
time, aud that the previous question on
the motion he recorsidcred.
Mr.. Schenck. of Ohio, hoped the mo-
ton would be withdrawn. If the mo-
ton to reconsider should prevail. he
desired to have the hill referred To the
Joint salcct committee on Retrenchmcnt,
TO whom the whole subject had been
committed.
Mr.. Stevens thought it had better
be referred to the committee on Judlc-
larry.
Mr.. KaSson enQuired if there had been
any change made i'll the first section OF
the bill, which provides that no officer
should he removed except 10y the same
agency that appointed him and alSoii
there was not provision in the bill
excepting the heads of departments
from tho operations of the law.
Mr.. Schcnck reported that the joint
committee on retrenchment had been
expressly entrusted to consider this
whole subject, and that it was, in his
opinion, the appropriate committee to
consider it.
Mr.. Wilson thought the House could
consider the bill as well as the commit
tee could.
Mr.. Kasson inquired if any change
had been made in the first section of the
bill, which provided that no officer
should be removed except by the same
agencies through which he received his
appointment also, if there was not
provision excepting the heads of De
partments from the operations of the
law, and he apprehended that few mem
beers of the committee would desire to
deprive an incoming administration OF
the power to change the heads of de,
partments.
Mr.. Schenck said that after the bill
was reported from the committee on the
Judiciary, the House concurred with
the Senate in appointing a joint select
committee, consisting of three Senators

show grateful appreciation of the obligations he
he is under to his Irish fellow citizens. We could

cies rendered necessary by the late war, the Dem
ocratic leaders, as a general rule, saved their
money and employed it with great profit in specula

pockets are swelled with the fatness Of their gains,
and it is but right that they should devote por-

they owe to the Irish people; and in the only way
that an honorable lrishmln would accept it,
