Cabinet Rumors.
Rumors are very current that there will
be at least a partial reorganization of the
Cabinet before the end of the session of
Congress. The change IN the Attorney
Generals Office is regarded as merely the
commencement of that reorganization.
Probably two or three weeks may elapse
before any additional designations are Of
fereI, but the most prominent men in the
Republican party in Congress declare that
the President will be in position in a
brief time to accept two if not three more
from the present Cabinet. The Secretary
of State and the Secretary of the Interior
are most likely to withdraw, while the Sec
rotary of the Navy is more generally men,
toned than on yesterday as the third one,
thus leaving Mr.. Creswell, Mr.. Belknap
and Mr.. Boutwell, to remain. Another ru-
NOR, assuming to be authoritative, is that
neither Fish nor Robinson has any inten-
ton of leaving the Cabinet at the present
time. Secretary Fish has for several
months expressed a desire to withdraw
from official life, but at the personal re-
quest of the President has been induced
to remain at the head of the State Depart
ment. Now that his course on Cuba diff
culties has been fully approved by Con-
gress, he is more content than ever to
remain as one of the Presidents counsel
ors.
General Dissatisfaction with Aciker-
man.
Among the Republicans in Congress
there continues to be general dissatisfac-
ton at the nomination of Mr.. Alderman
to be Attorney-General, and a very con-
siderable pressure has been brought to bear
on the President to induce him to with
draw the appointment and send in some
other name. The Radicals have discovered
that Mr.. Ackerman served eighteen months
III t44C ANCbCA dAAhNs NA4dL AO oObuAll1 pStl-
toned Congress to remove his political
disabilities and they were removed by a
vote of two-thirds of each house. The
friends of Alderman admit all this to be
true, but say that he volunteered on the
staff of Gen. Robert Toombs to avoid con-
Scription, and that he never performed any
service in behalf of the Confederate cause
while in that capacity; and because that,
as an old friend, though staunch Union
man, Gen. Toombs protected him in that
way from consumption, 1t is further
brought up against him that he is among
the warmest friends of Gen. Toombs and
Alex. II. Stephens. To Radicals of the
Summer stripe these are very grave objec-
tons to the confirmation of Mr.. Alderman.
In brief executive session of the Senate
his nomination was referred to the Judi
ciary Committee without comment. Cabi-
net nominations made heretofore have
generally been confirmed without reference.
san Domingo.
The San Domingo investigating COM
mittee closed its evidence Friday, and will
now prepare a report and submit it, with
the testimony, TO the Senate on Monday.
OF course, what conclusion the committee
will come to regarding Babcock's COM
plicity in having Hatch kept in prison,
cannot now be foretold, but the talk of
those who are in position to know would
seem to indicate that Babcock will be
pretty roughly handled by the committee
in their report. Whatever may be the re-
suit, the investigation has not improved
the proposed ratification of said treaty,
and it is believed to be impossible to Sc
cure the required two-thirds vote for it at
this session.
The Department of Justice.
Congress having just passed law to
that effect, the Attorney Generals Office
will hereafter be known as the Department
of Justice, with the Attorney General at
the head, and Solicitor General and two
assistants. The new act transfers to this
department the Solicitors of the Treasury
Department and Internal Revenue Bureau,
and the Solicitors of the Navy Department
and their assistants and employees, and also
the Examiner of Claims in the Department
of State. The reorganization will probably
take place when the new Attorney General
is sworn into Office.
Political Affairs in Ohio.
A letter is published in one of the papers
OF this city giving a careful canvass of
political affairs in Ohio, from which it is
shown pretty conclusively that there will
be loss OF at least three, and possibly
four, Republican Representatives in Con-
gress from that State. Gen. Schenck and
Judge Bingham are named as being pretty
