WASHINGTON CITY:
HI RSDAY ......... October -, lS70.

There is nothing new in regard to the Con-
miSsionership of Internal Revenue, except that
General Pleasanton, of New York, is now re-
gsrded by shrewd judges as the coming man.
Additional weight is given to this view by the
argument that New York, having no represent
alive in the Cabinet, is entitled, by reason of
her wealth, population and commanding posi-
ton. to this place, which, if not equal to a seat
IN the Cabinet in point OF honor and di entity, is
hardly less desirable on the score OF importance
and responsibility. Substantially the same
grounds are urged for the appoint nent Of Mr..
Douglass, in behalf of the State of Peunsylva-
Ma, and his friends express the belief that he
will yet receive the appointment. Mr.. Richard
son, of Massachusetts,, and General Cowen of
Ohio, are also stin considered As having . fair
show,-tbe former as the favorite Of Secretary
Boutwell,, and the latter on general grounds;
but the geographical objection, or rather the
fact that their States are now represented in the
Cabinet, is urged against them BY their oppo-
nents- Whether this will have weight in the
end remains to be seen, but it Is not believed
that the President win srefuse the position to
the best man, or the one he considers best, on
grounds 30 frivolous. Stu, Is stated above, ALI
things considered, General Pleasanton Is re-
garded as just now having the chances in bis
favor.

There is to be a great mass meeting of the

expected the government will he pretty roundly
berated, and possibly there will be some foolish
talk OF resisting the United States troops. At
any rate the headlines and inflammation edi-
torisls Of some Of the democratic papers would
seem intended for that mischievous end.
As we understand it, the troops are not sent
there with the idea Of making themselves Often
siye IN the way OF menace, but to be held in
reserve in the vicinity of the city in case their
presence should be necessary to enforce the law.
threats having been loudly made that its en-,
forcement would be resisted. But that their
presence then in any shape will give great
offence is quite evident, and we Judge that the
effect will be TO increase the democratic ma
jority in the city rather than otherwise.
