Now Boutwell, will go in, as / have all
along asserted he would do, and his APP

ATTORNEY GENERAL.
The favored man for Attorney GeEeral
il at present in some doubt; and, in con-
sequence of some additional trouble,
which it is just now impossible to fathom,
other changes are likely to follow much
sooner than was expected.
THE NEW YORK INFLUENCE.
There is no doubt that Stewart and the
whole New York mOneyed influence is
making every effort to defeat Boutwell,

will succeed, but Boutwell, seems yet to
retain his p~reponderating strength.

mature.

in his manner, and easily approached.

very indignant at his banishment to Da-
kotah, and are about to make an effort to
induce him TO accept the Democratic
nomination for Governor OF Pennsyl-
Vania.
THE RECONSTRUCTION COMMITTEE.
1t was thought the Reconstruction
Committee would not be revived, as
there really existed no necessity for this
offspring of the war and partisan Tancor.
The impr. ssioD, however, to-day is that
this committee will be revived, and
furthermore, that the appointment Of
military officers such az Sheridan, Rey-
nolds, and that class who have demon
stated their hatred of the South, will
give said committee material to work
upon. The South is rot sufficiently re-
constructed to meet the views OF the
intense Radicals.
REMOVER.
The President to-day removed Chaunoy
H. Snow, one of the publishers Of the
IteUiQencer, as Government Director of
the Union Pacific Railroad. Snow has
in course of preparation q report de-
nouucing d construction and operation
OF the road in unmeasured teTms.

The repesl of the te~nure-Of-oflce bill
to-day in the House, by 3 msjority so
large, is having its effect on Senators.
