ley will be no longer required by the
/ Government, upon which Acting Sec
retary Hartley notified Binckley 0l
his removal from Office.
Secretary Washburne attended tC
his duties, at the State Department
to-day. A large number of the mem
bers Of Congress called on him.
There are no changes yet announced
in subordinate positions.
About twelve o'clock the official
notification of the aneAptance OF
Washburne Of the s >taryship of
State was forwarded each member
of the Resident >olomatic Corps,
and invitations 2 ,<hded to them to
call on him as 6y as convenient.
The Supreme Court delivered no
opinions to day.
Various rumors prevailed to- day,
not only at the Capitol. but through
| out the city, relative to the Cabinet
changes They were founded more
on what politicians desired to accom-
plish than IN any approximation to
the facts.
1t was stated in Republican circles
o-day that President Grant would
withdraw his request for the modi-
ficatiOn of the act establishing the
Treasury Department, and this it
was thought would necessitate the
withdrawal of Stewart, and hence
it will necessarily induce a change in
the Cabinet programme. But Stewart
has not retired, and the statement Is
made on good authority that he has
been throughout in full accord with
President Grant, and that it has
been distinctly understood between
them that he will not allow himself
or his appointment to embarrass
President Grant in the slightest de.
gree; and if it shall be found inex-
pedient by Congress to relieve Mr.
Stewart, it is understood that he will
withdraw Mr. Stewart will not re-
cede If he can accommodate his ex-
tensive business connections so as to
obvlate the difficulty; and IN this view
he has offered to make an absolute
transfer and disposition of all profits
and interest which may be derived
from his business while he remains ia
the Office, the transfer to be made to
three eminent gentlemen as trustees,
who shall have absolute disposal of
the profits and revenues for the use
Of public charity In the city of New
York; the Trustees to select the
charities. and TO be vested with abso-
lutte control and power in the matter.
Dir. Stewart is thereby to diVest him
self of any interest whatever in his
business.
The number of Office seekers in
crease; hundreds were at the Capital
to- day. Cards were continuously ent
into the Senate to call representative
members out, and when that body
adjourned, the applicants rushed into
the Chamber to press their business
on the attention Of the Senators.
Apart from such proceedings, efforts
are being made by sobordinates in
the various departments to procure
a bureau and other higher positions
IN anticipation of removals.
