Office, remember the names Of those who
favored his wearing the Congressional
shseklss forged for the special benefit of
the late executive. Several distinguished
gentlemen who are ia q position to know,
during 3 conversation last evening,
stated that it was the purpose Of the
President 10 sign the new bill as he was
not, 81 this early day Of his sdministra-
ZION, prepared for en- open rupture be-
tweSu himself and the Senate, but that
he doubted not be would be sble TO get
along haTmOniously With Congress oy
judiciously dispensing Executive patron
age among the fsctioDs.
1t is rumoFed among politicians to dsy

erly, adding that 1.-THE great law Of ne
cessity might probably override all mere
legal or Constitutional techuicalities u

chieftsin. G5OTgis, il is now thought,

rardless of heF anxiety to have peace
and the members Of the delegation who
have been here for weeks representing
the Administration to sustain the present
State authorities, sdmit their mDtiiCa

PfcEUickiGn declaration" Let Us have
pesce." Governor Bullock, almost sim
Gle hsnded, has won the victory and
All the statements OF Gen. Meade, back
ed by scores of Republican judges and
other State officers Of Georgis, pass for
nothing. In the meantime, the nOtO-
rious Foster BlOdgett is Teinststed as
Postmaster il Augusts, and this straw is
sufficient to snow the direction of the
wind.

terdsy of Gen. LOnEstreet Rs Surveyor
Of the port Of New Orlesns, hss created
grsst dissatisfaction among the extreme
