Statc-and notwithstanding all the iel'ola'
which from time TO time come TO the sur

there is no doubt of the fact that II perfect
understanding exists between these TWO
gentlemen that as long rs one remains
as Chief Magistrate the other will SUCK as
Prime Minister. Grant will require the
services Of Mr.. Fish to help in the war with
Sumner and other Senators, which ls GER

The Boutwell, wing declares that Pleuson-
ton will not be backed up by single SEN
ator, the friends of the latter are sangllihe
of his ability to give Boutwell,, who was
directly instrumental in having MN sus'
pended, considerable trouble. 1t IS very
evident that Plcasonton has the obstinate
.'spiuk" sufficient to cause no little trouble
in the camp. lie is savage because OF his
treatment and there are many who thlnK
the President would be glad to have him
back again. In that case Boutwell, would
resign.
There was great anxiety here yesterday
and to-day in collsL uucnce OF the raSlnGs OF

Yesterday that it had caused much damage
in Virginia; and many inquiries were made
ut quarters likely to have information il
there had been serious disaster, for the
purpose of obtaining the truth.
The Secretary of the Navy intends build

| iirmation of the fact that he will remain in
| his present position as long as the present
! Chief Magistrate is at the head of the ma

| confirmation. The very cordial and init
mate social relations between Grant and
Robson preclude the idea of there being
