given by the New York Tribu,e's Washington
correspondent yesterday, will be found inte'
Teeting:-
The professional politicians are attempting to
take advantage OF this temporary embarrass-
me ut of the President to aid themselves IN their
schemes. They argue that Grant has blundered
fearfully, and hereafter he must consult with
In sm, or he may again fall into a more serious
ia &C pas which would be humiliaung in the ex
tire ne. With this view, number OF prominent
Ne York politicians are trying to control the
Resident IN the selection OF successor to
Mr.. Stewart. They say New York must have
Tn, Treasury, and they think Mr.. stewart or his
friends should be allowed the privilege OF
naming the man. Several prominent citizens of
New York are mentioned in this connection,
whose names shall not mention, as they stand
no possible chance of being selected. 1t is con-
ceded that the offer made to Ex-Governor Bout
well of the portfolio of the Treasury, in the
event of Mr.. Stewards being unable to qualify,
will not be withdrawn, and ii he accepts the
nomination will be sent to the Senate tomorrow.
Governor Boutweirs acceptance OF the office,
Ii ie understood, will necessltate the withdrawal
Of Judge Hoar from the Attorney Generalship,
as the President is adverse to having two men
in his Cabinet from the same State. Judge Hoar
arrived here tonight, and is the guest of ex
Attorney General Evarts. He has been in con-
sultation with the President but the result is
not known. Should he be compelled to retire,
IL is thought either rLymanITremalne or Ed wards
Pierrepont will succeed him. Other changes
will be made In the Cabinet before many days
maybe to morrow.
Mr.. Washburne seems determined not to re-
main in the State Department. 1t is intimated
tonight that he will withdraw tomorrow, and
bis nomination as Minister TO France will be
sent to the Senate immediately. As to his
successor in the State Department, there is
nothing definitely known. The position was
rendered to the Hon. James F. Wilson. ex-
member OF the House from Iowa, and he refused
to accept it, but his friends say that he may be
yet induced to accept the position.
Should Judge Hoar be compelled to retire
from the Cabinet, he will be offered q foreign
mission; or. when the bill for the reorganiza-
ton OF the United states supreme Court, which
law, Judge Hoar Will be appointed to the
Supreme Court.
