The Cabinet Officers.
W ksHINGToN, March 6.-Members OF Congress
and everybody else were a.stir early this morn'
ing for the purpose of ascertaining which of the
persons nominated and confirmed yesterday for
the Cabinet had signi6ed their acceptance or
rejection OF the position. Some of those whose
names have been mentioned in connection with
the Cabinet entertained hopes yesterday that
several of The new appointees would decline.
1t has been o. .certained, however, that all of
them sign6ed their willingness TO accept, with
the exception of washburue. He does not
want position, but will probably go into the
Safe Department temporarily, and he will
eventually 60 abroad in order to regain his
health.
The Secretary of the Treasury.
1t is the opinion of many EN- inent lawyers in
Congress that A. 7. ewart cannot accept the
position OF Secretary OF the Treasury, on ac-
count of the provisions of the act OF Congress of
September O. 1898, even if he relinquished his
business entirely. There are large number OF
cases in which he is Interested on the ales 0 t
the Treasury Department, which would necessa-
rtly come before him, as Secretary, for action.
Notwithstanding this, he has officially notified
the Preside mt OF his acceptance, and will enter
on the discharge of his duties on Monday, as
will nearly all OF the new Cabinet.
General Shermnn's STAFF.
General Sherman has aimed, at the instance
Of President Grant, Generals Dent, Babcock, and
Porter on his staff.
The Presidents Secretaries.
The President has not yet appointed his
private secretaries. It is understood, however.
that he will not appoint military officers as
secretaries. but will select men from civil life.
In the meantime, until he can hnd proper men,
some of his old staff officers will act as secre-
taries at the White House.
The Political GuillOtine.
The President has signifed his intention OF
putting the political guilotine Immediately In
| Ction, and the Senate will be kept busy for
| some time considering aud CONFIRMING OF
| rejecting nomin atoms. A large oa!ch is ex

you formal acceptance Of your proposition
for a fight. Col. Smith, the bearer Of my

you to him, in which you ignore the fact that
there was any agreement for fight; and say
that you desire no satisfaction" and that you

terfere with your business, you would make
it u personal matter" certainly did not so
understand you and I wish you to know that
so long as the interests of my clients and the
