WASHINGTON, February II.
Holding Two Offices

Notwithstanding the fact that It Is
unlawful to hold two offices at the same
time, such seems MOTTO be an uncommon
practice under the present administra-
ton. In the list of special agents OF
the Postoffice Department just printed
here appears the names of Robert
Douglass, one of Grants numerous
private Secretaries; Levi Louckey, one
of the Executive Clerks OF the Senate
Charles Lyman, a Treasury Clerk A
B. Mullett, the Government Architect,
and Joseph BIackpau, one OF Grant :
Civil Service Commissioners, which
latter holds, also, as third Office, the
position OF Superintendent Of Foreign
Mails. 1t will he remembered that
Generals Babcock, Porter and Dent
also hold civil and military positions
4 better examination Of the Blue Book
would develop numbcrless cases Of
this character.
Forncy's Resignation
of the Philadelphia Collectorship has
taken political circles here completely
by surprise, and none here more so than
in the White House. The philosophy
OF this resignation is interpreted here as
meaning that the Federal officials hint
that they cannot control the electoral
vote of PENNSYLVANIA in the Nominating
Convection, and that Forney, rather
than sacrifice himself in working for
Grant, had rather sacrifice his office.
This is an old trick Of his, and this
latest performance is considered as bad
for Grants prospects for a renomlna'
ton.
Amnesty.
Senator Robertson tomorrow will
eudeavor to get at the last amnesty bill
passed 10y the House, which is the same
as the one just defeated Sumner an
nounces his intention 10 renew his negro
rights amendment, which will be
objected to on the grounds that 1t Is not
german, and also on the better grounds
thatitls not competent to attach pro-
position requiring only majority vote
to one requiring two-thirds. When this
question came up before, the wee
President was not in the Chair, and he
therefore has not had an opportunity to
rule upon it. II Colfax sus'a'ns Sum
ner, as the acting Vice President did on
the previous occasion, an appeal will be
taken and the Senate will be given a
chance TO vote on this question. 1t is
thought by this means the amnesty bill
will be kept free from embarrassme mt
this time, and be able to pass on its
morris ALPHA.

movement to break up the unanlmty
of the June Convention. 1t is reported
that some days since President Grant
wrote letter to Colonel Forney, asking
the reason for the latters position in

resi gnation.

At an early hour today the Sessions
Court was crowded with politicians OF
all grades, all anxious to see who would
be indicted. 1t was generally known
that the jury had finished their investi-
cations and would apply for a discharge
to-day. The grand jury came into
Court at halfpast eleven, the foreman
holding a bundle of indictments. Mayor
Hall entered minute later, calm and
determined. Judge Bedford occupied
his position at the Bench. The fore
man of the jury then handed in four
teen indictments, saying that it terml'
mated their business. After some re-
marks, Judge Bedford discharged the
Jury. Mayor Hall then asked if there
were any indictments against him. The
Judge answered Yes; FIVE indictments
