j ne sCnSatlpT Iuil Illcu tue Oi w oSh-
incton--and Tor the matter of that, many
other citics-durng the past week, col
lapsed and died away this afternoon when,
after The adjournment Of the Cabinet sesS-
Ion, II was learned that not even had Bout
wcll resigned or Plcasantou been admon-
ishcd by his superior officers not to resist
the authority OF the Secretary OF The Treas
ury hut in fact that the great "disagfee-
ment" had not been alluded to. All the
references to grievances on either side were
made IN private, they were considered III
private, and this afternoon, after the buSi-
ness of official hours was over, "a private in
teryicw between the Secretary OF the Treas
ury and the Revenue Commissioner settled,
mt least temporarily, The unpcaSantness.
Gossip is, notwithstanding all this, still

plcusanton hnF "siye in Others declare
that the adjust lnent OF difficulties Is an
item Of tlir general plan adopted by the
Administration to compel harmony in the
party. Still there are Others who declare
that the reconciliation will not prosper.
Great astonishment was caused in politi-
cal circles TO day over the unexpected ap-
pointment of ex-senator Willard Warner
10 be Collector of the port of Noble. The
long and bitter quarrel between the cX-Sen-
ator and the present Senator Spencer, whose

procuring the defeat of Warner for reSlec-
ton, and the knowledge That Warner since
his defeat had been cast aside by the Ad-
ninistration, had produced the impression
here that he would in future be severely let
alone by the President, particularly since
be evlnced an inclination to "fght back"
His appointment, many Radicals declare,
will be acquiesccd in by Spencer. This is
also part OF the general harmony plan. 1t
will be interesting to note the effect Of this
appointment. Warner is hand and glove
with Judge Parsons and with Lakin, whose
testimony before the kukluX Committee is
the theme of unpleasant comment in SO
many different quarters.
The labor question is just now animatine
the adherents to that cause to very great
extent, and representative men of the labor
reform movement, now in this city, declare
| that there is no doubt whatever Of that
party nominating Il candidate for the Pres
| lGency at their convention, which meets in
Columbus, Ohio, in October next. How
! far they will enlist the support Of the prac
| tlcal thinking working men in their enter,
prise remains for the future to tell. Gov
Geary, OF Pennsylvania, is the iayorite can
| ddate of several Of the leaders, while 9th
ers hope to get Gen. Ewing, of Ohio, or
their standard. The lasl-named gentleman
will, however, be found earnest in support
| OF the Democratic nomination, and it seem:
equally certain from present indications
| that the great majority of working men
identified with this movement will be active
supporters Of the Democratic ticket.
Friends Of General Hancock are moving
very earnestly in support of his qualified.
tions for the Democratic nomination. Prin.
cipal among the reasons. the fact is urged
that he would be positively certain to carry

the political sky looks bright for Hancock
The favor with which his name has been
received In the southern States is also men.

great weight in the Convention.

THE SOUTHERN CLAIMS COMMISSION.
For the State of Virginia one commissioner
will probably be appoiutedto visit different
central points in the State and take testi.
mony in the cases originating in and about
the several places visited. For the present
the commissioners will not grant any appli-
cation to take testimony before the local
commissioners in any case exceeding S., ,00O
in amount, but many cases, apparently eX-
cluded from immediate consideration under
this rule, can be brought within it through
reduction by the claimants of their gene.
rally exhorbitant prices, and withdrawal

sioners manitestly cannot allow.
CUNDURANGo, THE CANCER CURE.
DR.. Norris, of the United States army,
has had one case under treatment with this
vegetable, and gave it faithfully in accord
ance with the instructions which accom-
panied it; but the patient died. Another
similar case, under similar circumstances,
instead of being cured, rs promised, has
died. Another, treated by one of the naval
surgeons by the same so-called remedy, has
died. Indeed, SO far as We know, there is
not single instance in which "cundu-
range" has been administered to q cancer
Gus case that the patient has derived any
benefit from its use ewhatever.-W WaShsnqton
