Ex-Governor Robert r. Scott, OF South
Carolina, publishes letter in the Ma
tional Republican this morning, in which
he frankly comedies the election of Wade
Hampton, and favors his immediate rec

to the South.
Chamberlain Will Retire.
Information received here to-day indi-
Gates that Chamberlain has about made
up his mind to resign all pretensions to
the GuOernatOrial hOnoss in South Caro-
lima.
Eek Secretary morrill,
has very much improved and yesterday
took short drive in the country. He
hopes to visit the Treasury Department
to-day ana formerally transfer his office
over to Secretary Sherman.
Head of the Indian Bureau.
1t is stated on what is considered
very reliable authority that Ex-Repre-
sentative Wiltshire, OF Arkansas, is to
receive the appointment of Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs.
The Supreme Bench Vacancy.
AN Cabinet officers having been con-
flrmed, the next highest vacancy is that
of the Supreme Court Judgeship, caused
by the resignation of Judge Davis.
There are number of applicants
for the position whose friends are ac-
lively at work, but thus tar no assurance
OF success have rewarded their labors.
Senator Christiancy is pressed for the
place. He was on the Supreme bench OF
Michigan seventeen years, the last TWO
as Chief Justice, and is acknowledged
an able iurist. Aside from this his
resignation would open a position for
Ex-9ecretary Chandler who could con-
troll the Legislature and secure an cleo
tion TO the Senate.
AS the Court now stands New En- =
gland is represented by Judge Clifford,
New York by Judge Hunt, New Jersey
by Judge Bradley, Pennsylvania by
Judge Strong, the Northwest by Judges
Waite, Swayne anu Miller, and the Pa
citic Coast by Judge Field, leaving the
South entirely unrepresented.
1t is urged that in carrying out his
Southern policy President Hayes must
do justice to the South, and give that
section representation upon the Su-
preme bench. or course there are many
names mentioned as suitable for the po-
sition, but no one receives more gen.
eral support or has wider or better
reputation than Judge Campbell. He is
as acceptable to the Republicans as any
Southern Democrat, and perhaps more
SO than younger man would be.
The New Cabinet Sworn In.
HOn. John Sherman look The oath OF
Office as Secretary of the Treasury Sat-
urday afternoon at O'clock iu the En-
ecutive Office at the White House. The

District Officers.
NOtwithstandln The rumors of pros
pective'changes in the federal officers OF
the District IL is doubtful if there will
be any more than that OF Uhited States
Marshal. The Commission OF the Mar
shalship expires some time during the
present month.
IL Is not probable that the President
will select any personal friends for the
place. AS for the other offices, the
President is disposed TO take no action,
except In cases of vacancy by resigna.

s0lutely necessary. Among the candi-
dates for Commissioner of the District
OF Columbia are Ex-senator Lewis, OF
Virginia, and Ex-senator Cragin, OF
New Hampshire.
The New Cabinet.
The first meeting OF tue new Cabinet
will be hell to-day, when it is expected
that the initial discussion of the South
ern policy will be had, but it is not prob
able that 1t will proceed far enough to
Indicate just what course the President
Will pursue in solving the problem of
the dual governments in South Carolina
and Louisiana. IL will take the new
Attorney General some time to make
up Iuli statement OF the case OF both
states, as he Will no doubt present new
features and facts, aud discard alto.
