WASHINGTON, June 8.-Chief Justice
Chase is expected to return to this city
! from Richmond on Saturday next.
It is probable that the President will, !
during this week, send to the Senate the
nomination of successor to MI. Stanbery,
late Attorney General, bnt the name of the
nominee has not been intimated by the

Two other nominations for positions in
/ the Cabinet are anticipated, but it is not
I believed that the President has positively
determined upon the persons whom he
will nominate. Afew days will decide the
matter.

only prominent person suggested for the
English mission.

of Internal Revenue, has prepared letter
