"A The %IISfdt0sS w aSnlngtODa special
says IN tefligence from Rich mond, Va,
tonight, states that Maj. Gen. Dun
can IS there, looking up facts to be
used in the suit of the Government
against Frazier, Trenholm & Go. He
has been referred to a number Of per-
sons who are supposed to be in pos
session of information that mag, be
useful, and also that no registering
officer in the State will receive his
salary until further appropriation
for this purpose is made. 8 Only six
ofthe disbursing officers for this purs
pose. The split in the Republican
party in Virginia will result in tive.
tickets for the Constitutional Conven+
tion.- The one proposed by the Radi-
Gals is so Objectionable that an inde-
pendent ticket will be nominated. 1t
is more than probable that a Demo-
cratic ticket will also be nominated. i
At the last meeting of the Cabinet
the question of appointing a Perma-
nent Secretary of War was discussed,
and the President has since had the
subject under serious consideration
General Grant strongly urges Major
General Rawlins, his chief of staff,
for the position, and it is quite prob
able he will receive the appointment.
General Hillyer has had several in :
terviews with the President and Sec
retary McCulloch in regard to internal
revenue matters in New York city.
The result. is stated to be that the
Metropolitan Internal Revenue Board
will be abolished, and the collection
of revenue and detection of fraud
will Re left to the officers designated
by law for those duties. ,
The Times special says Gen. Scho-
field left for Richmond this morning.
The story that he was called here by
the President is not true. He came
up to see Gen. Grant.
The election in his district comes
off Tuesday of next week. He has
no doubt but the convention will be
carried, and thinks it likely that a
majority of the delegates will be Re-
publican in politics. 1t is probable
that he may ask for a short leave of
absence after his election is over. ?
q IThes Sub Committee Of the House
Judiciary on the Maryland Govern
ment will begin its investigations
here -morrewiliA QUORUM Of the
whole Committee will be present. 9
The House Select Committee on
Southern Railroads will leave this
city for their trip South on Wednes-
day next. They will be absent about
month, and will visit Richmond,
Charleston, Chattanooga, 0and Louis
vile. ;
q The Tribune special says: The Re.
publicans here expect that the Cabi-
net will be harmonized in support of
the ! thfeatenedH Presidential coup
d'etat, and they seriously think the as
pect of affairs is fraught with grave
danger, They. fear. Congress may
convene IN bold and defiant spirit,
and adhere to the declared policy of
the extremee men, vizs impeac hment,
and suspension of the President dur.l
ing the trial; and since the elections
more than ever they believe Mr..
johnson will resist, and attempt with
force if necessary, to maintain his
constitutional right to hold the Office
until Judgment after the trial. Others
argue that the effect of the elections
has been to settle these grave quess
tions, and that Impeachment will find
fewer advocates at the next session
than were counted in the last. :
The iStar here denies officially the
statement that Gen. Grant has ex-
pressed himself as satisfied with the
result of the late elections in Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio. Gen. Grant also
pronounces as false and malicious
the reports going the rounds of the
newspapers, purporting to give a
synopsis of his evidence before the
judiciary Committee on Impeach-
ment. - fN11a
gF 1t is doubtful whether Secretary
McCulloch will make a report on the
discovery of counterfeit 1905. 1t
might interfere with the arrangement
to detect and capture the culprits. The
amount thus far discovered is $50, 900;
none were received at the Treasury
