The TreaSuFY-WilI Boutwell, be
Made Minister 10 Austriap
New YORK, April 19.-The Tribune's
Washington special says the conviction is
daily becoming stronger here that a
change is contemplated in the Treasury
department, though probably not imme-
dlateIy, as no successor to Boutwell, is
Known to have been selected. The dis
patch from Vienna announcing that Mr..
Jay has been transferred TO Constantine
pie is thought ty some to reveal part of
the rogtamme of the Administration in
regard to this matter, as it was reported
quite recently in certain circles here that
Boutwell, was 10 be Minister to Austria
when he left the Treasury Department.
The report that Senator Morton is TO sue
coed Boutwell, is without the slightest
foundation. Morton denied it yesterday
and recently informed some of his friends
thst be win accept no appointment from
the Government.
HE Says He Never Attacked the
President
WASHINGTON, April 19.-Senator Sum-
ner it is thought had the manuscript of
his speech in regard TO his relations with
Secretary Fish and the State Department
with him yesterday, but has been per-
suaded by friends, not to deliver it. The
speech is said to give complete history
of the Senator's connection with the
Motley affair and incidentally his differ
ence with the President, all founded on
and sustained by documents and letters
very damaging to Fish. Senator Morton
was in conference with Sumner for NOR
thar an hour yesterday, the whole sub
ject of Sumnor's difference with the ad-
ministration being talked over in an earn
est and excited manner, Sumner denying
that he had attacked the President and
claiming that the country was with him.
Morton replied that he vas mistaken in
this; his speech was without effect and
few or no journals in Indiana supported

with the Democrats TO reject the first re-
port of the Committee Of Conference on

journment will take place tomorrow.
Extra Session Of the Senate.
It is said to-day that it is not probable
the Senate will be called in extraordinary |
session till towards the close |
of next month.
Jesse Taylor was To-Day confirmed SIS
Collector of internal Revenue in the 9th |

Substance of tho Democratic Ad- |
dress.
The Democratic caucus, at its meeting |
last night, finally concluded to issue a
national address, which should cover in |
a general manner all the political ques-
tions at issue up to the present time. The |
Southern Democrats had no opinions to /
offer, but left everything TO be made up /
by their Northern brethren. The address
Tyss Dos to be issued until after the pas
sage OF the pending Ku-Klux bill. 1t will
set forth that the Democracy fully abides
sDy all the questions settled by the passage
of the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments, and tha. there IS no dispo-
sition to dispute any of the legal conse-
uuences which may follow from
the same; thence, touching upon what /
the questions involved in the propositions /
are, il will conclude with an indictment /
of the entire policy of the Republican
party; it will set forth that the Repubh.
can party has entirely failed to subseIve
the material interest of the cOuatrys that /
IN the pursuit Of distractions 1t has
allowed cOrruptiOns 10 accumulate, and |
Ynopcpoiies to become so powerful that |
the liberties of the people are endangered; |
thai the Republican Administrations have |
been but for a single purpose, and that
for the aggrandizement of the black
race. that. in the meantime, political
privileges and rights had been sbrldged
70 the whites, even at the expense OF the !
constitutional guarantees; that The States
m longer exercised their proper political
influence, but that Capitalization is grow |
ING 60 sch a feSrfnl extent that even in
eiIigent Republicans were becoming
alarmed thereat, that industry was robbed |
of its proper reward, Gnd that honest Ia
Dor was overtaxed % pay tie salaries OF |
unnecessary officials or 10 sTeh the ]
hoSrded balance in the Treasury;
that nepotism reigned il ali the
departments Of the Government, and
merit and capacity were no longer
requisite for high civil position; that |
high tariff makes il almost impossible for
.he laboring man to earn respectable
livelihood, while it enables the capitalist
10 lisa in idleness and luxury; that the
whole civil service has become so cuTrupt
chat either an immediate reform or a
change of government is necessary, and
that al the practical and social questions
of the day are pressed home upon the
American people in the canvass about
commencing. AL the Democratic Sena-
tors and members viii sign the full ad-
dress tomorrow and pfomulgate it.
