has been one of the most indefatlSable ana
earnest supporters Of President Grant, and
with Mr.. William +. Chandler, who was AS
sistant Secretary Of the Treasury under tue
McCulloch regime, probably did the most e!-
fcctive services of the campaign. Mr.. Fish, OF
course, will resign. Everybody Is witllngto
unite on the point that he will take his leave
of official life here after the inauguration ol
the new Administration, and many expect Il
change in the Post-Oflice Department, whlie

slider that they have reached the goal OF politl-
c,I aspirations. Fred. Douglass, who, as
| representative Of the race in this country,
was once so formidable, seems to dwindle
before the light of Younger and more active
NEGRO politicians. SO chat it Grant does
ever see fl to place a colorcd man IN the
Cabinet Douglass will not be the favored
| man. Reasoning from the occurrences OF
the last few wears, it cannot I've regarded rs
trivial to alter the possibility Of the colored
race being represented in the Cabinet. IL Is
only one step further up-even y greater
eIcyation-than the Senate or House 0!
Representatives, and rs representative
colored men are even now working aSsldu-
ously to secure Il place in the Cabinet Sucn

For the present everything Is qliet III
Washington. Probably the lavaSes OF the
cpizootic has much to do with that conuI-
ton of things but even if the horses were
all on their legs there would lie little vi III
tcrest. The reaction has set in, and VIII be
likely to continue for some time. About the
middle of the month members Of Congress
will begin to arrive and look about them.
Predictions have been made that there Will
be large number Of outside workers here
during this session; the inference being that
several corrupt schemes are i'll process OF
engineering with The object Of depicting the
Treasury in various ways during the winter.
What recommendations the President VIII
hive to make TO Congress in his annual mes
sage can but be mcrcst matter OF conjecture,
though the belief is very strong that tho'
roughly important suggestions OF foreign
policy will be involved in tie annual
message, and that a renewal OF former
suggestions concerning the greater elm.
CHENEY of the naval service OF the lnllcd
States will have much weight III the message,
and it is reasonably expected that the ire
mcndolIs victory received by the President
will be nm inducement to him to present SIM.
lar views us to the relations which should
exist between the different sections rs were
embodied in the famous "Lct-us-haHc-
peace sentiment. There will he found (ior
the indications even at this eariy period pre-
diet it, greater feeling Of anxiety for the
annual message of the President than has
been exhibited since his first annual mcSSa2"
four wears AGO. TlMoN.
