NEW YORK. teDfuary 70.
The Tribune says it being known that
Mr.. Rollins would positively withdraw
from the Office OF Internal Revenue
Delauo suggested and recommended him
to Gen. Grant for the place. Yesterday,
Mr.. Delano had long conversation
with Gen. Grant, during which it is
understood the Office was offered to
him, and that he signitied his intention
to accept.
The ITibune's Washington special
SAYS it is doubtful If the bill which
| passed the House providing for the
strengthening of public credit, and re-
Iating to contracts for the payment OF
gold, can pass the Senate. Senator
Sherman ia on record against 1t, and
he can easily smother 1t in the Finance
Committee. Gov. Morton will also be q
formidable opponent OF the measure,
and will surely fight 1t on the floor OF
the Senate.
John Eckerson died on Tuesday, in
Rockland county, of ofhydrophobia, hav-
ing been bitten a month ago.
A woman was found dead In a room,
in Jersey City, yesterday, having been
locked in and starved to death by her
husband.
The steamship Vile has arrived.
The tobacco factory of John Mcguire,
in franklin street, was seized last night,
and about sc, 600 worth OF stock deliv-
cred into the custody of Collector Bail
ey.
The HerGLd's Washington special
SAYS General Grant, in conversation
Yesterday with Senator Pool, OF North
Carolina, expressed himself particular
lv anxious for substantial reconstruc'
ton in the South. North Carolina and
Alabama, he said, were among the best
reconstructed States OF all, and when
the rest were as safely and PLEASANTLY
back in the Union, he thought ours
would be the happtest country on the
globe.
1t is deduced from d conversation that
General Grant held with General Terry
and another gentleman yesterday that
all the Southern military commanders
removed by President Johnson Will be
replaced.
A Washington special says that
among tho callers at General Grants
Headquarters, to. day, was Mr.. A. *.
the General directly If he would not
appoint Governor Curtin to a place in
his Cabinet. The General replied that
it would be impossible to do so. Mr..
Mcclure then said III that case he felt
compelled to say that to give satisfuc-
ton in Pennsylvania, an appointment
must be given to some man who has
Republican party-an active politician.
To illustrate what he said, it must be
no such man as Geo. II. Stuart, Smith
or West. Gen. Grant instantly replied
that he could not see what objection
anv loyal man could have to such a
man as Geo. II. Stuart, who had done
80 much for the country, and was 80
we'll known.
Mr.. Mcclure then made some re-
marks about the prospects that If such
an appointment was to be made, the
Republican party would be defeated In
the Pennsylvania election for Cover
nor next fall.
General Grant replied: l am not my
self, a representative OF any political
party although political party elected
me. He concluded: l would not have
you 10 understand that Mr.. Stuart is
the man selected. The interview has
been much talked of about the Capital
to-day.
Mr.. Mcclure says he has no doubt
from what was said, but that Mr.. Stuart
is the man selected for the Cabinet.
