WASHINGTON, August 6.-The Pre-

tlon, without any remark on the
conditionswhich he still holds. The
acceptance is mere formality, it is
said, and does rot change the situa-
tion. fftft
Gen. Burbridge is pressing for the
office, and it is said he has assurance
from several Senators, that they will
protect the President in dealing
promptly with Rollins, in Burbridge's s
favor.

Evarts returned unexpectedly, and

McCnlloch. It is understood that
Eyarts took strong grounds against

his resignation, or by suspension for
cause under the tenure-of-office bill.
He, threatened, otherwise, to with
draw from the Cabinet. Meantime.
Rollins is utterly obnoxious to the
President and McCulloch. It is said,
however, that Rollins has modified
the terms of his resignation; and on
the same authority, it is doubtful
that General Jefries will succeed.
