WASHINGTON.
The English Mission still ON tho
Market. -- '


WASHINGTON, d. O., Oct. I5.-So far
as Gov. Morton and the English mission
are concerned, his friends here who are In
communication with him assert that If
there shall be Democratic majority in
the Indiana Legislature there will be an
other vacancy in the English mission, as
Morton would in no event consent to re-
sign his seat in the Senate if Democrat
could be elected to nil it. As that now
appears TO be probable the cabinet makers
are looking about for another succession
to Motley. The last one hit upon is Cox,
Secretary of the Interior, who will, it is
said, certainly soon retire from the latter
Office. The Secretary is, himself, reticent
and does not seem to desire even to be
questioned concerning his resignation.

Secret COrresPOndence-CO
man.
Several gentlemen tried to-day to pro-
cure copy of the correspondence be-
tween the President and Secretary Cox,
but were unsuccessful, nor could they
learn why it was withheld. There is no
truth in the recent report that Gen. Cox
has been offered foreign mission. The
question of a successor to Gen. Cox is
discussed. Nothing reliable can be OBJ
tanned. The friends of Attorney General
Alderman are surprised at the mention of
his name in connection with further
change and caution against placing any
confidence whatever in the report.
Grant in His Glory.
A special from Frederick to Repub-
lican paper thus details the Presidential
party al the horse race yesterday:
Gen. Grant selected Honest John H.,
his faYOrite; Secretary Robson chose
White Mountain; Mr.. Creswell named
Nettie WhitefOot as the beast that would
win, while Admiral Porter was willing to
bet his money on Gen. Geary. The
horses started, and before the first heat
heat there were some gentlemen who
would have been glad to have had the
opportunity of choosing over again. White
Mountain led off and was closely followed
by Nettie Whitefoot and Honest John,
while Gen. Geary showed signs of COM
ing in last, indications which were abund-
antly yerived when the judges announced
that he had been distanced on the first
heat. Admiral Porter, as his chief
hacker, left the stand after the inglorious
defeat of his favorite, and was not seen
in that locality during the remain
der of the race. Nellie WhitetOot
came ia second, and Mr.. Cress-
well was not without hope. White Noun
tain won the heat Time, 2:S4. Secre-
tsry Robson was jubilsnt, and the rose
in his coat bloomed out with autumnsl
freshness.
In the second heat White Mountainous
again triumphant, and the rose wore
brighter hue. Time, 2:45. Nellie White
foot came in last, and Mr.. Creswells
chances were not considered flattering.
The contest was now narrowed down
to honest John and White Mountain Gen.
Grant was full of enthusiasm, and at the
third heat had still great hope of his
horse. The horses started, and Honest
John took the lead and maintained
it twice around the track; but
on the home stretch, the white horse
passed him, and won The heat by a very
short length. Gen. Grant, the tanner of
studs, surrendered to Secretary Robson,
chief Captain of the Horse Marines.
Time, 2:4l. Nettie Whitefoot was dis
tanced. ~
