WASHINGTON. March II. 1875
GENERAL scHENcK TO RESIGN THE LONDON
Observation-Disclosures EMBARRAssMENrs THE
CAUsR-HIs SUCCESSOR NOT NAMED.
The early retirement OF Minister Schenck from
public life Is considered Dy his friends no longer
advisable TO keep secret, and not later than May
he will resign the position he now holds and re-
turn to the United States. Financial embarrass-
ment more than all else has contributed to his de-
termination never again to hold any public ONCE
whatever. In a letter to personal friend in
Washington he says that, with the greatest
economy 1t has been Impossible for him to make
both ends meet, and TO secure enough to enable
him 10 exc out the remainder OF his Official life he
was compelled to sell some property In Illinois.
In the letter detailing his misiOrtunes General
Scnenck plainly says
81 am beginning 10 loathe all efforts to serve my
country or the public They bring no compcn-
sating reward lor peace ana comfort sacrificed"
1t Is also well known that che family OF Secre-
tary Fish will leave Washington In q short time
Tor Europe. and the only indication Of Secretary
Fish succeeding Mr. Schenck Is the report that
the Secretary has agreed to take the lease OF Mr..
Schenck's house. There Is not, so far as can be
learned from nigh offical sources. the slightest
dispeasure or dissatisfaction with Mr.. Schenck,
and those who know him best say he has held the
position under protest and at personal sacrifice

RECEPTION OF SOUTHERN ORATORS IN THE
NORTH
Senator Garland and Representative Lamar have
returned to Washington, and speak in the most
nattering terms OF their reception by the New
England people. The objec; OF their visit to New
Hampshire was not, as has been generally stated,
10 make party speeches, but TO represent the true
condition OF affairs In the Southern States and the
sorry plight they had been brought to under the
corrupt governments OF reckless Adventures.
They say that so far from their visit
having been disastrous to the democrats,
they were Hospitality received by all classes,
and most notably by the ex -tederal soldiers
who greeted them warmly everywhere. The news
from New Hampshire to-day Is construed by the
anti-admnistration men as good. inasmuch as the
republicans were so prompt with dispatches on
Tuesday. The victory Is regarded here as de-
cided one, though the Legislature should elect the
republican candidate Governor The democrats
are ready with the explanation that local State
interests entered into that contest but 1t was not
so with the Congressional election. In the three
districts the issue was national and the gain OF
even one Congressman is thought to be far more
significant than oil the local issues combined. In
the last Congress Mr.. Parker was the only demo-
cratic representative from New Hampshire; in
the next Congress the democrats Will have two OF
the three. and by some 1t Is thought that the en-
tire delegation will be democratic. Success in
New Hampshire has treasured the anti-admin.
istration men that the Connecticut democracy
Will probably elect three OF the tour Congressman
from that State.
ACTION OF THE REPUBLICAN SENATORIAL eau
Gus.
The effort to remove Sergeant-at- Arms French
OF the Senate was signal failure, all the candi-
dates combined having but nineteen votes while
he mad twenty Senator Conkling's candl-
Date received but three votes. The caucus also
decided that the other officers were worthy OF
continued confidence so no change will be made
IN the officials OF the Senate.
THE OPEN PROCEEDINGS OF THE SENATE
The topic OF consideration in the Senate to-day
was the question whether in a special session the
appointment OF special Committee OF Investiga-
ton, looking toward subsequent legislation, Is
legitimate Executive act. Mr.. Clayton, OF
Arkansas, desired decision to
whether the resolution when he Introduced
concerning the condition OF affairs in the Indian
Territory would be entertained by. the Senate. A
long discussion followed, in the course OF which
Mr.. Clayton modified his proposition so as to ex-
clude the word Legislation" from the language
used; but the matter was finally laid on the table
by vote OF 80 to o. Mr.. McCreery. OF Kentucky,
who held the floor in the Plncnback debate, did
not desire to go on to-day, and the Senate accord
ingly went into executive session.
PINCHBACK's CHANCES OF ADMISSION IN THE
SENATE.
1t Is said to- day by democratic Senators that the
prospect OF Pinchback being admitted is better
than it has been at any time since he presented
his credentials. Senator Johnson will hot speak
until next week. He is preparing an elaborate
argument on the question OF American citizenship.
and will unspariDgly condemn the administration
for It's usurpat0n Of power against the letter aud
spirit OF the constitution. 1t Is understood that a
republican Senator, opposed to the ADM OF
Plnchback, will move to amend the resolution so
that it Will read, as not entitled to seat" and
ask for vote to test the sentiment OF the Senate
on belonging the debate. 1t 10 said that Pinch
backs irlends in the Senate Will await the result
OF the arbitration OF Louisiana matters in New
York. and should the number of democrats seated
be enough to secure the election OF democrat in
place OF Pinchback. he will be admitted, but
II republican majority In joint ballot IL main.
tanned he Will be rejected.
PROBABLE SUCCESS OF THE HAWAIIAN TREATY.
It Is thought that the Senate will finish the
debate on the Hawaiian treaty tomorrow, and the
opinion Is held that 1t Will be ratified and become
operative without further legislation, though 1t is
eontended that IL would be an invasion OF the
constitutional rights OF the House OF Representa-
tives. AS the measure was projected and favored
by the administration, the Secretary OF the Treas.
ury will doubtless recognize the action OF the
