WASHINGTON, July 23.--Col. War
rem called, yesterday, upon Secretary
Cox and Postmaster General Cress-
well, and had a talk with them about
the Fenian matter. The Colonel has
now seen every member of the Cabi-
net except Secretary Rawlins, and has
found them all favorable except At
| torney General Hoar. He believes
that some decided action, one way or
the other, must be soon taken by the
Administration on the su ubject From.
| the opiaiens expressed by different
Cabinet members, he hopes that the
expected action will be favorable to
the rights of naturalIzed citizens.
The Secretary of the Treasury, on.
being questioned on the subject, re-
piled that he had no intention, at
present, of selling gold, and that he
| did not intend to sell any while the
premium was at the present figure.
| The impression at the Treasury De-
nartment IS that it will go lower.
This seems to be founded on the fact
that United States bonds have ad-
1 vanced Ia Europe in consequence of
the favorable exhibit of Boutwelrs
| financial movement, and that, by
the time there is a demand fer
the shipment OF. gold the crops
will be ready to bring into mar ket.

gentleman travelling in Europe, al

fetal effect of Boutwells $ policy in
strengthening the credit OF our Gov
ernment abroad.
