Pr0tracted Meeting Of the Cabinet-The Ten
Of OHlce Bill Under Consideration.
The Cabinet meeting to-day was quite protracted,
lasting until after three O'clock 1t Is understood
that the subject requiring such lengthy discussion
was the amended Tenure of ONCE act. When the
Cabinet adjourned it was not definitely known
whether the President would sign the bill or not.
But the impression prevails among those who had
any information ON the subject that it would finally
be approved.
Unsatisfactory Interpretation Of the Tenure
of Office Bill.
There exists a wide diversity Of opinion in the
Interpretation OF the Tenure Of ONCE bill. Trum
bull in his argument the question gives one ex-
planation while Bingham presents Its operation In
another light. How to harmonic these views seems
10 be question agitating high official circles.

Hordcs Of Patriots Observation-Disclosures
Of Once Seekers.
The hopes OF O multitude OF ONCE seekers have
been rudely dssipated and the hotels this evening
have returned TO their normal condition OF quiet
spectability. The mob Of patriots that infested
washington since Grants Inauguration has been
finally and efectually scattered. Many OF them,
poor fellows, had been casting around for cheap
lodgings, determined In staying some few weeks or
months longer, according to their means, but most
Of them received their coup Dc grace to-day and
started by this evenings train, muttering curses
both loud and deep against the ingratitudc OF
country they ycarned SO ardently to serve.
