THRRR IS CONSIDERABLE TALK among the
congressman who remain here over the placid
course of the Senate in regard to the credit
mobilier. The developments in the committee
room are known to be such that, il the Senate
was in any degree Jealous of its honor, it would
begin an investigation of its own, especially
since the House committee have refused to
receive any testimony touching senator's
Springfield Reputlican Special.

and Robson will appear before the House
committee on appropriations in reference to the
increase OF forty-nine cadets at West Point and
the same number at Annapolis, by reason
OF the increased number OF Representatives
under the new superintendent la Y from 2i3 to
292. 1t is probable that the course of study will
extended a. he ma
and the number of graduates thus limited.

TIE RUNoRgD CABINET CaANeRs-It is
stated upon he best authority that there is no
truth in the report that Attorney General Will
!iams will retire from the cabinet to engage in
private business. These reports are very an
noyDg to that OH GER, as they subject him to in
Vulnerable questions, and besides, do much to
demoraliZe the public service. rs subordinates
OF the Department OF Justice throughout the
country give some credence to them, and act
accordingly. Judge Williams said to -day
There isn't word OF truth in the story" II
seems to be the opinion in well informs ID circles
that there will be no change in the Cabinet,
with the exception of Secretary Boutwell,, who
Will. no doubt, be elected Senator from Masss-
chusetts, TO succeed Mr.. Wilson, and resign his
position as Secretary OF the Treasury to accept
a seat in the Senate. The Massachusetts, Legis-
iature meets to morrow. but no action looking
to the election of Mr.. Wilson's successor will be
,sheh Until aitef inc second wednesday in
February, when the electoral vote will be
counted by the House of Representatives,
and Mr.. Wilson's resignation as Senator
be rendered. Hence there is no probability Of
Mr.. Boutwell, leaving the Treasury Department
before the middle of February, at least. When
asked day If 1t is true that he has written his
resignation, to take effect on the 18th OF Feb
ruary, the Secretary replied: " 1t is not. What
! may do in March L don't know myself"
Although there have been many rumors about
change in the State Department, it seems TO
be the impression that Mr.. Fish will consent to
remain there, although IL Ia true that he has
expressed disposition to retire from the de-
partnent for some time. When q President is
reelected, II Is customary for his Cabinet min.
listers to verbally or otherwise place their resig-
nations at his disposal. This win probably be
done in the case Of the present Cabinet officers
on the 4th Of March next, but 1t IL not believed
in the case Of Secretary Boutwell,, should he be
elected Senator, and possibly in that Of Secre-
tary Fish.
