owing to the illness of the ex-secretary, as.
sumed the duties of secretary of the treas
ury on Saturday.
OFFICIAL CHANGES.
1t Is stated that The president contem-
plates no changes in the minor offices of
the government, except where a change
would insure increased efficiency. There
will, however, be several changes 10 the
foreign service and great many Of the
| United States marshals south. The latter
changes will form part of the president
southern policy.
SENATOR ILL.
Senator Camerono of Wisconsin is quite
i'll of typhoid fever.
HOW THEY VOTED.
Conkling supported Evarts and voted
against Schurz. Blaine supported all the
nominations except that of Key. The only
democrats who voted against Key were
Thurman and Herman.
SOUTHERN JUDGE.
1t is understood that Ben Hill and other
southern leaders are urging upon the presl-
dent the selection of some prominent jurist
from the south for the vacant seat on the
supreme bench. They claim the south Is
not represented at present and is entitled
to the position. The president is dis.
posed, if a proper person can be found, to
accept the suggestion.
NOT FAoTIoUs OPPOSITION.
President Hayes said yesterday he was
not disposed to regard the opposition to his
new policy es factious. He considered
that every senator had right to his own
opinion, and was not disposed to look upon
the opposition in the senate as arising from
personal antagonism. So long as the
Louisiana and South Carolina seats In the
senate remain vacant, Senators Booth,
Christiancy and Davis an throw the re-
publicans into minor. j whenever they
may choose to vote with the democracy.
Simon Cameron's friends intend to attempt
to force decision In his case at this -
sion. If 80 the session would undoubtedly
be continued TWO or three weeks. Presi-
dent Hayes told friend yesterday that he
could not yield to the pressure upon him
to change his policy, and that he was de-
termlned to be amisbly stubborn about it.
HOW EyARTs WAS CONFIRMED.
The senate foreign committee on Satur-
day, attended by all except Conkling, de-
cided to report in favor of the confirmation
of Evarts as secretary of state. At 1880
o'clock the doors reopened and the senate
adjourned until Tuesday.
BONDS CALLED IN.
The treasurer on Saturday afternoon is
sued the forty-second call for the redemp-
| ton of ten millions in bonds for the syn
| dictate.
KELLoGG's CASE IN COMMITTEE.
At q meeting of the senate committee on
elections the case of Kellogg was taken up.
The republican members took the ground
that the credentials presented by Kellogg
were regular and he has prima facie title
to seat in the senate; and that he should
be sworn in and allowed to take his seat at
once according to precedents established
by long usuage, and any investigation az
to which of the Two rival governors In
Louisiana is the legal one should be defer
red until kellogg has taken his seat. The
democratic members held that while the
credentials on which Kellogg claims his
seat appear to be regular they may not be
so in fact, as the committee have knowl.
edge that there are two rival governments
in Louisiana and therefore there should be
an investigation to determine which is the
legal one before any one is sworn in as
senator from Louisiana. The committee
adjourned to Monday morning when this
case again comes up and some action will
be taken upon the reports to be made to
the senate. There are majority and min
GRITTY report, the former signed by the re-
publicans and the latter by the democratic
members of the committee.
THE KELLOGG CASE.
Senator Morton will make an effort to
have the case of Kellogg as senator from
Louisiana acted on at this session Of the
senate, and the impression prevails that q
favorable report will be made by the ma
jority of the committee OF privileges and
elections on Tuesday next. 1t is not GER
tain, however, that the senate will agree tc
act on the case now as number of repub'
lican senators prefer to let the matter resi-
for the present rather than take any action
upon the vexed Louisiana question, which
might be embarrassing to the administrs'
ton, when by permitting the Kellogg case
to go over until next session 1t can be de.
termined with much less discussion thar
II the attempt is made to do % Low, and
besides the matter may be virtually settled
by the executive department before thai
time. The same may be said of the Soutl
Carolina contest. Should these cases gs
over the special session of the senate will
probably close before the end of the pres
ent week. The executive business can b.
disposed OF In few { IS. The matter Of
appointments Is regai d as subordinate Il
the questions of state or national import
ance which will first engage the attention
of tho new administration and of this .,ol
icy office seekers are aware, none Of then
having received any assurance whatever t.
strengthen their hopes. According to tn
private utterances of immediate friends o
