On tho lst Of April, and already The pack
Ing up has commenced, especially thos,
who have families here and who are ordered
Oft at great distance. The order hos beer
well considered in Cabinet, and to-day thu
President ordered its PRONUNCIATION.
The President, Cabinet, dc, Invited
TO Attend the inauguration Cere
monies I'm Richmond.
Ex-Governor Fayette McMullin and Sen.
ator Lewis, of Virginia, called on the Pre-.
sident this morning and extended to him
and his private secretaries and the men
bers of his Cabinet an invitation to visit
Richmond and attend the Inauguration
ceremonies. The President thanked the
gentlemen for the invitation, said he would
inform his Cabinet snd private secretaries
as desired, but feared that he would not be
able to 60 on account of public business
here. 1t is proposed to have ON excursion
train leave here on Thursday afternoon
next. Senators, congressman, and others,
have been invited.
The Associate Justiceships.
There is some doubt expressed about the
confirmation of the nominations for new
Associate Justices of the Supreme Court
The legal-tender decision rendered yester-
day is made the predicate for new conside-
rations as to qualifications of nominees to
the Supreme Bench. Senator Drake gives
out that he and others of the Senate must
have some assurance that the proposed
new Judges will sustain the legal-tender
act before they can get their votes for con-
| frmation.
Of course the new nominees (Strong and
Bradley will not reply to interrogations as
to how they will decide questions that may
come before them, and, therefore, of course
the votes of Mr.. Drake and such other
senators as agree with him about the pro-
priety of approaching Messrs. Strong and
Bradley upon the subject will be cast for
rejection of the nominations.
There are some trifing objections sug-
gested to Judge Strong, among them one
that he is in favor of incorporating the
Christian faith in our fundamental law,
but these will not avail his opponents, and
there is reason to believe that the Senate
will confirm Judge Strong. About MIR
Bradley there appears to be but one OPT.
MON, and that is that he will be rejected
not because of any objection to him per
sonally, but because of geographical posi-
ton, the general sentiment of senators
being in favor of the selection of an Asso
ciate Justice from the southern or sixth
circuit. Mr.. Bradley is of the third cir
cult, and therefore ineligible upon the ruiz
asserted by senators.
Report has it that Attorney-General Hoa
prevailed upon the President to select Mr.
Bradley, and declares he will not pcrnii
on Associate Justice to be selected from
the South if he can prevent it.
Democratic senators propose to vote TO
the confirmation of Judge Strong, believing
he will be as acceptable to them as any on
that is likely to get the nomination.
