! WASHINGTON, June 4.-Ehorts ar
making with Senators to proven
the admission of Governor Stevenson
to the Senate from Kentucky in placi
of McCrary next March. Document
containing charges against Stevenson
have already been filed with Radi
cal Western Senator. If there ar,
many charges which prove Il

charges is one that he was in Rich
mOnd, Virginia, when the war broke
out, and was a spectator on the
rebel side at the battle OF
Bull Run, and that when re-
turning to Kentucky he took with
him COlOnels commission from JEFF

abandoned the project.

the Attorney General. Its approval
caused a great futter among the en-
plOyees of the bureaus TO be trans
ferred to new departments.
1t is understood that Solicitor Bar
fiels will resign and accept the place
of Assistant Secretary of the Navy.
The commission of Col. Ackerman,

President Grant recently mentioned
to several Senators that he intends to
remove Motley, Minister to England,
as soon as a suitable successor could
be found. During the conversation
the President mentioned the fact that
when he framed his Cabinet, having
selected A. T. Stewart for Secretary
Of the Treasury, he intended to offer
Fish the mission to Eng
land; but afterWard he had, for
well known reasons, Withdrawn from
Senate the nomination of Stewart, and
had been transferred to
the French mission, he rendered the
to Fish, who reluctant
" accepted the position, but consent
ID to occupy it at least temporarily.
While there is no question that Fish
