Various Personal and Political fla


WASHINGTON, March MIR. Sumner
this morning moved the executive session
but failed to get it. 1t now looks as if
no executive business will be done this
session though our foreign relation COM
mittee are anxious to get the Alabama
treaty and other treaties off their hands.
Nothing of interest to report except
incessant discussion in cabinet proba,
bilities.
Mr.. Fessenden is not without hopes of
being called to the State Department,
though he thinks the only New England
man in the cabinet will come from Mas
sachusetts.
Mr.. Sumner has not been consulted at
all about the State Department, as he
thinks his position demands he should
have been. He therefore holds himself
alOof from Gen. Grant.
Both Hooker and Boutwell, have hopes
Of being asked to take the Treasury port
folio. The friends of eachar active.
Mr.. Wilson, OF Iowa, has some expec-
tation of getting the Interior Department.
His name has been generally used for the
position Of attorney general. He has
given his friends to understand that he
would not accept this. Marylanders and
Southern Republicans continue to urge
Ex-senator Creswell.
There is a movement on foot for Hall
He is talked of both for the Treasury
and State department.
Rumor is very current that a cabinet
position will be rendered to Gov. Hayes,
Of Ohio, aud that Gov. Dennison will not,
after all, be offered the Postofice depart
ment.
Several Republican Senators mani-
fest no little annoyance at Grants re-
ticence, and expressions are freely made
that unless he heeds the suggestions of
the leaders of the party weak cabinet
is sure to be appointed. 1t is useless to
deny the fact that apprehensions are ex-
citing in Republican ranks which will
either disappear entirely or assume
more open aspect after next Thursday.
The House to-day passed the Senate
| Joint resolution giving assent Of the
| United States to the construction of
bridge across the Ohio river between
Cincinnati and Newport 1t provides
that the space shall not be less than 400
| feet, and Congress reserves the right at
any time to with RAW its assent lift shall
be found that the bridge obstructs the
navigation of the river 1t was immdi-
ately engrossed and signed by the officers
| of both Houses and sent to the President
for his signature.
