The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1867-12-09
Appointment.


District of Pennsylvania has been appointed
Deputy Collector under General Steadman, at
New Orleans, and will leave soon to enter on his
duties.
The Philadelphia Revenue Board.
Postmaster Bingham, and Chambers McKib-
ben, Assistant Treasurer at Philadelphia, have
rendered their designations as members Of the
Internal Revenue Board at Philadelphia. The
opinion prevails here that the Board will be
discontinued soon.
PhiIadeIphian Appointed Treasury
Agent.
c. NJ Donovan, late State Senator in the Penn
sylvania Legislature has been appointed Special
Agent of the Treasury Department, and assigned
to duty in the South, and will operate at Men,
phis and New Orleans. His appointment was
made upon the recommendation of Senator
Buckalew and Hon. James Campbell.
The Senatorial Caucus.
The Senate caucus, which has under consdera-
ton the proprlety of making a change in the
Sergeant-at-Arms, will meet again to morrow
morning. The friends of General Burbridge
are confident that he will eventually be selected
10 succeed George T. Brown, the present in
cumbent. If this succeeds, it is thought sena-
tors will not stop there, but that other changes
in the elective officers will be made.
GO0d for Trade.
The settlement of the impeachment question
and the stoppage of contraction by Secretary
McCulloch will, 1t is thought by shrewd OBJ
servers here, produce great activity in various
branches Of trade, and cause rise in all good
interest. paying securities. The passage of the
House bill, on Saturday, to repeal the act
authorizing MeCulloch to retire four millions
monthly, by such decisive majority, indicates
its certain passage in the Senate, which will
stop contraction by law, and not leave it dis
cretionarY with the Secretary to contract or
not at pleasure hereafter.
Effect OF the Defeat OF the Impeachment
Question.
The defeat of the impeachment proposition
has caused deep feeling between the two wings
of the Republican party, and bitter recrimina-
tion has been INDUCED by some of the extreme
radicals towards those Republicans who voted
with the Democrats against impeachment. The
Chase men declare that the Grant Republicans
were afraid to meet the issue squarely, but Ia
bored to defeat the majority report, as its adop-
tion was considered unfavorable to the Grant
programme, in order to reconcile both parties,
it is not improbable that Senator Drakes resolu-
ton, or something similar, censurlng the Presi-
dent for defiant language in his late
Message, may be passed by both
Houses, as it is thought this will act as
a salVe to the wounded feelings of the impeach-
ers, and restore harmony to the party. Some
of those who at first were opposed to resolu-
tion of censure, on the ground that it was going
out of the sphere of Congress to censure CO.
ordinates branch of the Government, are now
favorable to it, as they argue that Congress has
as good a right to censure the President as he
has to censure and condemn the acts of Con-
gress, which he did so unsparingly in his last
Message.
Troubles Of a Customs Collector.
Collector Cake arrived here this morning. He
comes at the request of Secretary McOulloch on
matters connected with the administration of
his Office.
Modification of the RecOnstFuctiOn Bills.
There seems to be disposition on the part of
some of the leading Republicans in both Houses
of Congress to modify in some degree the
Reconstruction acts, but not to abandon in the
slightest degree the general principles on which
these acts were based. One of the modifca-
tions proposed ls to make q majority of the
votes cast in future elections suf cient to adopt
the constitutions which may be presented to
the people; and in this way it is thought all the
unreconstructed States will be represented be-
fore the present session of Congress adjourns.
Another change which finds much favor is the
| enfranchisement of considerable number of
those now disfranchised under existing laws, as
! it is known that many of these parties, who COM
prise some OF the leading men of the South
| will warmly advocate reconstruction on the
! Congressional pan If some concessions of this
! kind are made.
