The English Mission Sat
isfAetory IN She Internal Revenue
ONCE.
WASHINGTON, Decenber Z. - The
President said to Senator, yesterday,
that he had not yet decided on an ap-
pointment for the English mission. No
cabinet officers, Senators or members
have yet been found who know anything
of the subject, and it is believed that
the President has kept his own council
throughout. The Senators think there
is no cause for haste, and there is no
need for Minister until the admins
tration is prepared to give definite in
structions on the Alabama claims, aud
that this cannot be done until the senti-
nUht Of Congress is developed. The
President is also said to have remarked
that he is in no hurry to appoint a Com
missioner Of Internal Revenue; that he
is satiffied with the conduct of Doug
lass, and that no harm can follow a
delay.
The Committee ON Banking and Cur
y stsi reney e.
Will hold their first meeting to-day.
The question, the resumption Of specie
payments, comes up for an informal
interchange of views on the still unset
tied question between this committee
and the dommittee on Ways and Means
as to which the subject of resumption
properly belongs. Each committee
claim Jurisdiction over it. ..t
A Circular
Signed by all the delegates from Wis
consin, except one, advocating the pass
age of the resolution granting lands to
a railroad to be built from Madison to
Lake Superior, was distributed among
the members Of the House yesterday.
This is common practice among lobby
lists, but it is believed that Congress
men have not before resorted to it.
The President and Admiral Porter.
There is no longer any doubt among
the senator's and members that the
rank of Admiral Of the navy will be
speedily abolished, because the office is
useless and partly to relieve the Presi-
dent from the embarrassment. of deciding
whether to nominate Admiral Porter,
or not. All the Senators and members
who have expressed opinions are in
favor of abolishing the office. The
President has not resumed his friendly
relations with Admiral Porter, and he
manifests much disappointment and
chagrin at Porter's course. The orig
inal letter OF Porter's to Secretary Welles
is now at the White House and is ex-
hibited to the Congressman who are curl
GUS to view it. 1i
The Negro NJ. e; from south Caro-
Hon. J. III. Raney, colored, member

Senate Of South Carolina and has wait
ed for the election Of an United States
Senator, which was to have taken place
Yesterday, before resigning his seat.

sources and interests Of Utah. The

benefit Of the people of Utah and the.en-
joyment of its natural resources.
