retary Doric the othcr Jay, tnh Gentleman 10 To
ported by the baltimore Sun TO have aid that
he had never aspircd to the position he now oO-
cupies, but that he supposed II was given him
because Of personal liking Of the President for
him. He intimated, too, that he would not No
tain the Office very long, Is his health was fee-
bic. The impression left by Mr.. Boric's 10
marks was that he would retire at very early
day. ,--y-rysCrv
According to . Washington dispatch. II Is
said in Republican circles that the Committee
on Reconstruction, seven against Ave, win soon
report back the bill rcasscmbling the original
Georgia Legislature, imposing tho test-oath
qualification, and declaring the expulsion Of the
colored members void.
An election held In the city Of Memphis,
Tenn, the other day, for School Commissioner
and Board Of Education, resulted In sweep
ing Republican triumph, the Republicans elect
ing the Commissioner and three-fourths Of the
members Of the Board Of Education.
It Is mentioned as significant that not dele
CATION, nor even single individual, has ap-
peared at the White House, begging that the
reconstruction laws may be softened to suit
their cases. Either there Is moro contentment
at the South, or else II Is regarded as Of no use
to make special appeals to President Grant.
The Florida Union Of Tallahassee strongly
urges the necessity Of Federal troops in that
State, not that active physical force is any
longer necessary to preserve order, but that the
moral influence Of United States troops Is need
ell in the absence Of a State militia, to prevent
the restless and dissatisfied elements Of society
the dregs Of secession and slayery-from rising
to the surface and making trouble again.
The House Of Representatives have passed .

1t provides that ths Supreme Court shall here
AFTER consist Of chief justice, and eight acting

appointed for the nine judicial districts, with
the powers now vested in the justices Of the gu
preme court. Full details are given Of the du-
ties Of the several justices. Provision Is made

general sweep, and there is good foundation for
1t. When the recipient Of an office has been an
active Republican and an honest officer during
his term, he may be permitted to remain, but
If, at any time, he was tainted with Johnsonism,
or II he has performed his duties poorly, nc
will have to leave. .... ....
There arc very grave charges OF bribery
against tx. Gov. Fenton, now Senator from
New York, in which II is alleged he was paid
$50. 900 to sign the Erie Il. II. bill.
