CHICAGO, July pa report having
been circulated that Robert P. Lincoln,
son of Abraham Lincoln. is acting with
the Democratic party, and will support
Tilden during the coming camp aign,
that gentleman. who has been much an
noyed by rumors on the subject, denies
that there is word of truth in the
story, and authorizes the statement
that he viii! not only not vote for Til
den. but will support Hays and use his
influence for his election.
WASHINGTON, July 26.-The position
of Commissioner of Internal Revenue
having been to-day formally declined by
congressman McDougal. was offered
Gen. G. B. Raum, of ILL.,, and accepted
by him this afternoon, whereupon his
name was sent to the Senate. Raum is
a lawyer, is about so years of age, and
served throughout the war in command
as Brigadier of the army Of the Ten
nessee, and represented Cairo Ill. dis
trict in the fortieth Congress. His ap-
pointment is spoken of as highly
creditable one by his congressional as
sociates of both parties. The Repub-
lican Senators had long caucus this
morning on the general subject of the
appropriation bills. No formal action
was taken, but from the tenor Of the
opinions interchanged by large num-
Der of those in attendance. it is moss
probable that the river and harbor ap-
preparation bill will be dropped or re-
jected by the Senate. and that an agree
ment will be reached. concerning the
bills the present week. The number of
clerks to be discharged. if the agrees
ment of the conference committee on
the legislative bills is embodied in law,
will be nearly 700.
CHICAGO, July 26. - The Tribune's
Washington special says Holman, of In
diana, to- day indicated what is his in
tention tomorrow by sending mp to be
printed with the silver bill q section
repeating the resumption clause. The
worst feature of this silver job has come
to be understood here to-day: that the
bill was concocted in New York by
party of spectators i'll gold, and that
agents representing that combination
are here at work in pressing the bill.
The attorneys of the bonanza and other
mines are the active outside workers
here. Indications are there will be an
obstinate fight over the bill and the pro-
posed Holman amendment tomorrow.
AS to the success of the silver bill in
the Senate if it pass the House. it is
very doubtful. for while the silver infia-
! tionists claim they have a majority of
. three there are few Senators who can
talk it to death unless adjournment is
long delayed. Senator Carpenter only
finished the preliminaries of Lis argu-
ment in the Belknap case to-day. To-
morrow he will finish in about two
hours, according to his intlmations, and
the Senate will insist upon Major Lord
completing his argument at once, and
