creasing daily. They report that Lerdo de Ii

critics, while Senior Remaro is sending large
sums of money to the United States. They
also assert that Tijado is unfriendly to Romero
and trying to have him dismissed from the
Cabinet; that the influence of the former is
supreme with Juarez, and that the other min

RUNoRED REORGANIZATION OF THE CABINET.
NEW YORK, March 8.-The Tribune has the
following editorial:-The Treasury complica-
ton, we hear from Washington, is to be solved
to-day by the Withdrawal Of Mr.. Stewart from
a position which he has not sought and cannot
under tie circumstances accept. With the
news of the changes to follow this withdrawal
we get also some light upon the formation of
the Cabinet:-Mr. George FL. Stuart, we are
now told, was offered the Treasury Depart
ment. The condition of his health was such as
tn forbid his acceptance. Then it became nec-
essary to recast the organization already decid-
ed upon. Mr. Borie was taken from Pehnsyl-
vania in Mr.. Stuart's place, and Mr.. A. T.
Stewart was then selected for the Treasury.
Meanwhile Gov. Boutwell,, who had been Of
fered the Interior Department, had declined It.
and thsreupon Judge Hoar had been selected
IN his place a. the representative of Massaehu-
sets in the Cabinet. Now Mr.. Stewart de-
Ginning, Gov. Boutwell, is to be offered that and
il expected to accept Judge Hoar il the rep
ressntative expssted to resign, leaving the At

REMOVAL or prNoKLxx.

WASHINGTON, March 8.-Commissioner of
Internal Revenue Rollins, on the 9th. recon-
mended to the President the immediate dis
missal of j. M. Buckley. The President to-
day referred the matter to the Secretary of
the Treasury, with the endorsement that the
services of Buckley will be no longer required
by the Government. Upon which Acting Sec
rotary Hartley notified Mr.. Buckley of his re-
moval from Office.
THH CABINET.
Secretary Washburne attended to his duties
at the State Department to-day. A large
number of the members of Congress called or
him. No changes are yet announced in the
subordinate positions. About IL O'clock the
official notification of the acceptance by Mr..
Washbnrne of the office of Secretary of State
were forwarded to each member Of tho resi-
dent diplomatic corps, and invitations extend
cd to them to call on him ~ early as convent

The Supreme Court delivered no opinions

Various rumors prevailed to-day, not only at
the Capitol but throughout the city, relative
to Cabinet changes. They were founded more
on what politicians desired to accomplish than
in any approximation to facts.
SECRETARY STEWART.
1t was stated in Republican caucus to-day
that President Grant would withdraw his re-
quest for the modification act establishing the
Treasury Department, and this, it was thought
art, and hence necessarily induce change in
the Cabinet programme; but Mr.. Stewart has
not retired, and the statement is made on au-
thority that he has throughout been in full ae-
cordance with President Grant, that it has
been distinctly understood between them that
he will not allow himself or his appointment
to embarrass the President in the slightest do
gree, and that If it shall be found inexpedient
by Congress to modify the law 80 to relieve Mr..
Stewart from the disability which it imposes,
il is understood he will withdraw. Mr.. Stew
art, however, will not recede If he can accom-
modate his present extensive business 30 as to
obviate the difficulty, and, in this view, he has
offered to make all absolute transfer and dis
position of all profits and interests which may
be derived from his business while he remains
in Office. The transfer TO be made to three

OFFICE SEEKERS.
The number of office seekers is on the in
crease. Hundreds of them were at the Capitol
to-day. Cards we've continually sent into the
Senate Chamber, some of them to call Repub-
lican members from their seats, and when that
body adjourned the applicants for place rushed
into the chamber to press their business on the
attention of Senators. Apart from such pro-
ceedings, efforts are being made by the suber-
dinates in the various departments to procure
bureau and other higher positions in anticipa-
ton of removals.
