the judges of the Supreme Court, on
Saturday, participated in by full
bench, excepting Chief Justice Chase

sidered, whether the Court would re-
state upon the calendar, the case
which has already attracted so much

act. 1t is also understood that the
Court will announce its decision to-
day, and that it will be declined to
hear arguments in the case at the
present term. on the ground that the
question is of such Importance, that
it should properly 60 before full

was decided last Spring, by an incom-

NEW YORK. November 1.-THE
Tribune Washington correspondent
telegraphed last night as follows:
When the President left here Friday
evening. 1t was given out, semi-ofi-
cially, that his visit to Philadelphia
was of strictly private nature. 1t is
now learned, however, that the visit
is not merely of private nature, but
has q strong political significance,
which will be fully developed soon
after his return. The Presidents
friends assert that he is anxious to
have Pennsylvania reresented in his
Cabinet, having so expressed himself
on several occasions lately, and that his
present visit to Philadelphia is for
the purpose of consultation with
some of the leading men. that a fit
and proper selection may be agreed
upon from the many elements of the
Republican party of that State.
Pennsylvanians, who have been Wis
iting the President lately, have been
making the point that as New York is
hopelessly Democratic, and Pennsyl-
vania strongly Republican, the latter
State should have the preference in
Cabinet positions. The President
does not agree in the assertion that
New York is hopelessly lost to the
Republican party, and will not allow
her to 60 unrepresented In his coun-
ellis. He does admit, however, that
Maryland is thoroughly Democratic,
/ and that the recent victory of b..
/ Gratz Brown in Missouri makes
what used to be termed the Border
States" a unit against the Republican
party, consequently, nothing is to be
gained to his administration by giving
to these States the most powerful Of

stood that CressWell will retire from

that a Pennsylvania be appointed In
