nroquent from combination OF Eastern bank
ers, asking him to deposit coin in tho National
Banks, and thus 1iberato IN equal number Of
greonbacks now held aH 4 reserve. He says
TINT, whilo there ia no law to prevent the bank

POSTAL. TELEGnAPuY
Tho frlouda Of tho Postal Telegraph bill aro
prepared for vigorous campaign OH bohalf Of
session, but these gentlomon cannot agreo
anong themselves as to just exactly
What measure thoy want. Tic Hubbard
bill has many opponents among those who
favor Postal Telegraph ByBtom, whilo tho Bup-
porters OF tho former meaBnro aro determined
not to indorse my Bchomo which will antagontze
with til cir own. Wollinforn,ed members Of both
HousoB express tho opinion that no bill of any
kind Of this character stands tho slightest chance
OF paRsago.
THE CABINET.
Aa tho question Of tho changes anticipated in
tho Cabinet still continue to bo the topic of 80
much discussion, it is proper to say,on behalf Of
the President, that thus far no steps whatoyor
have been taken with regard to the Cabinet for
tho incoming torn Of General draut. Az bo.
tween the Attorney General and tho President,
no conversation or intimation has occurred look
Ing to Judge lYilliams' retirement. On
the n cor contrary, the President +, is known
Nothing has occurred in relation to to Secretary
Fish to induce tho bolief that he is to retire on
the 4th OF March, or at. any stated time. Tho
Presidont and all the members of tho Cabinet
arc believed to favor tho continuance Of Mr..
has not latoIy indicated any poremptory inten-
tton OF retiring. Unless change is made in the
entire Cabinet on tho 4th Of March, or day or
two thereafter, it is pretty certain that mono is
intended for the uoxt four years.
The report that Secretary Delknap has in-
Cured tho dihpleasuro Of tho President, is re-
garded By other members of tho Cabinet as
simply ridiculous.
The only change in tho Cabinet that is regard
cd as cortain is that Of the Secretary of tho
Boutwell, will bo elected to tho Senate from
Massachusetts, and will thus vacate the Troas-
ury Department, Hi4 Auceoasor has been

street and the great money interest OF the coun-
try, and that Wall stroot is afraid OF Boutwell,
and tho prohent policy OF tho Government. ind
that Genoral Grant is not, therefore, likely to
appoint I. Secretary un tho recommendation Of
the money punur. Secretary Richardson repre-
sentB tho policy and his appointment to the sue
ooseiou would assure tho public that tho samo
policy ia to bo continued. Tho best informed
frionds Of tho President boieyo that Judge
Richardson is surc Of the appointment in case OF
a vacancy.
AnKANSAS.
The Government has no 1ato adyicoB from Ar
kansas, and aro not, therofdre, informed as to
Whit the Administration adhoronts expect, in
that State, in tho next few days. The President
and his Cabinet Hoom to feel less interest in the
condition Of affairs in Arkansas than in Louis-
iaun.

State to prepare Immediately an Executive
order In effect prohibiting persons holding
