THE REPUBLICAN CAtCts AND INN HERALD
IT. REroRTEk.
The doorkccpcr of the reporters gallery
denies positively that any one was present
in tho reporters gallery during the Repub-
lican caucus through any connivancc or
action on his part. lie says he locked his
doors as usual on the adjournment Of the
Hoase, and was not there again until the
following morning. give him the benefit
or this denial but It Is nevertheless true
that the reporter of the New York Herald
gained access to that gallery or the ante
room adjoining, and that he was found
there by the doorkccper shortly after I'D
o'clock, and cicctcd.--Ner York Times.
THE PRESIDENT WONT GO TO PHILADELPHIA.
So SAYS The New York 7fmes-good au-
| thority. e,
Ue does openly and undeniably sympa-
thizc with tina, convention, and will exert
| all his influence to make it a success; but
| "a the convention is called to express the
views of the people, and of the whole poo
ple. on the questions now agitating the ma
lion tho President does not deem II deli
cate nor proper that he should be present,
more particularly so as his own acts VIII
he passed upon moro rigidly than any other
topics. So says the Herald.
MR.. RAYMOND AND THE CAUCUS.
The denial in the Times of the pub
Hshcd accounts of Mr.. Raymond's position
| in the Republican caucus on Wednesday
night amounts to nothing just so long as
| dozens of members who were present
| maintain that he made speech in which
he virtually abandoned his endorsement of
| the Philadelphia Convention. He is wei
come TO so much of the modification OF the
accounts as will represent him sitting
quietly in his seat and refusing to vote on
the resolution declaring that no Republ-
can Senator or member would endorse the
Philadelphia Convention.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
1t has been quite generally reported to-
day that Attorney General Speed has
sent in, or at least has written, his resigna-
ton. We cannot learn that it has been
received at the White House, though par
ties have stated within the last forty eight
hours that they have seen it in manu-
script. The previous rumors to the same
effect were evidently without foundation,
as the Attorney General was present at
the session of the Cabinet yesterday, while
Governor Dennison, whose resignation had
been rendered previous to the Cabinet
meeting of yesterday, was not.-Stdr, lih.
PosTMAsTER-G ENERAL.
II was generally believed at the capitol
to-day that the nomination of Hon. AleXan-
der W. Randall to be poStmastcr-general
had been sent in to the Senate.-Stdr, l4h.
TIE CONsPIRATORs' CAUCUS.
Immediately after the adjournment of
the House to-day it was announced that
another meeting Of the caucus of Republi-
can Senators and Representatives will be
held tomorrow evening. The caucus
committee held meeting last night, and
are to have another consultation this eve
ming. 1t is rumorcd that no sufficient
legislation can be suggested to accomplish
the purpose Of the caucus, and that con-
! tinuous executive session Of the Senate is
the only scheme that can be relied upon to
prevent the removal of Radical partisans
from office. National lntelfgence, l4M.
REPORT.
There is a report tonight that the Re-
publican Johnson men will issue new call
for the Philadelphia Convention, which will
shut out the Northern and Southern Demo-
Gratis Washington Correspondence Ihita-
deipiia L.dJn.
! RESIGNATION OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS SPEED.
1t canbe positively stated that Attorney
| General Speed to-day rendered his rcsigna-
! ton to the President. His reasons for so
doing are substantially the same as those
given by Governor Dcnnison, viz: that he
is in full sympathy with Congress, and is
opposed to the Philadelphia Convention.
Mr.. Harlan, il is asserted, will send in his
resignation on Monday.-1J.
GOVERNOR HoLDEN's POSITION.
/ The reason given by Governor Holden
for not singing the call for convention OF
| Southern loyalists is that he does not de-
| sire to connect himself with any cntangling
alliances. lie is willing, however, to sign
/ a call for convention of Union men of all
the States, which he thinks would settle
the whole question in less than three
monthS.-lb.
SECRETARY HARLAN.
II is positively asserted tonight that
Secretary Harlan has prepared letter
resigning his position as Secretary of the
Interior. He assigns the same reasons a:
! these given by Secretaries Dcnnison and
| Specd.-IJ.
