will continue as Chairman of Foreign
Affairs. Mr.. Dawes will probably take
the place of Mr.. Washburne at the head
Of the Appropriation Committee. The
probable retirement Of Mr.. Boutwell,
rom the House TO take q seat in the Cab
met, will doubtless give the Chairman
ship OF the Judiciary to Gen. Garfield,
which would otherw wise belong to the for
mer. The latter's place at the head tf
the Military Committee will probably
fall on Gen. Logan. Gen. Hooper will,
it is thought, be offered his choice of the
| Craftsmanship Of the Banking and Cur
rsncy Committee, or a position on the
| Ways and Means. If he accepts the lat
ter, Gen. Butler will probably be sp-
pointed to the former, and vice VeTsG.
TIE Craftsmanship Of the Indian
Committee, also OF the Committee on
Territories, are vacant. 1t is believed
that Mr.. Allison will be offered either,
but il is likely he will prefer to remain
in his present place on the Ways and
Means. The Appropriation and Elec-
lion Committees will be announced on
Tuesday, and the others Rs soon there
after as practicable.
