AS the result OF a conversation to-
day with Senator Sargent, on the sub
ject OF the coming Senatorial election
in California, your correspondent is
enabled to state upon the authority of
Sargent that he will be a candidate for
re election. He said in relation to his
letter of 1875 to Judge Mcfarland, in
which he stated positively that he
would not accept a re election, that his
personal feeling on the subject had un-
dergone no change whatever, but he
had however received numerous letters
and had many strong appeals made to
him not to forbid the use of his name
it being urged among other reasons
that the State needed his experience in
the Senate and would suffer by a
change which would place a new man
in i'm porlant positions on commit.

the advantages which other States find
in continuing in their service Senators
who have acquired position and inhu-
ence in the Senate. 1t is also urged in
letters he has read from many Pacific
Coast Republicans and Independents
and by numerous friends in Washing
ton, that the California supporters Of
President Hayes administration ac-
guessed very generally in Sargent's
re. election, while any effort to elect a
new man might render the election Of
an opposition Senator possible. Sar-
gent says he has tried to persuade him
self hat he could retire without doing
injustice to or embarrassing The inter-
ests OF the State which has So gener-
ously supported him heretofore, but he
now feels obliged to yield to the extent
of making no further opposition to the
wishes OF those who desire 10 support
him for reelection. He earnestly
adds, however, that he will not enter
into a struggle for the place-that it
must come, 1t at all, as the real wish of
the majority of the people unintlu.

correspondent has Sargent's permis-
sion to make this statement. 1t is the
opinion of Calitornians in Washington
that there will he no conlest within the
Republican ranks against Sargent's re-
election.
New YORK, March Is.
A 7'ibune's Washington special re-
ports that Morton feels disposed 10 &C

is entitled upon Cameron's resignation.
In doing this he will of course be
Obliged to resifn tho Guardianship of
the Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tons. With the settlement of the
Southern question the Importance of
this committee will probably pass
away, and the Committee on Foreign
Relations, with ar able Chairman at
its head, would become the most i'm
porlant in the Senate. Morton seeing
This, will probably improve the oppor
tunity to secure the position which
will make him nominally the leader
of the senate.
The President to day told a delegs-
ton of colOred men that 1t was his IN
tentiOn to appoint both Fred. Douglass
and Professor Langston to important
and responsible positions ut an early
day. He should probably appoint
Douglass first on account of his greater
age and his having formerly been a
slave, considering him to be of the two
the more prominent representative Of
the colored race.

A Herald'S Washington special says:
1t is understood that no changes of
C~onsulates has been fixed in Missions
or Consulates at this time. In fact, no
appointments will be made at all ex-
cept to fill vacancies.
A two hours Cabinet meeting was
held to night at the Executive Man
The principal topic given at
tention to was a general plan for reg
ulation of appointments to office. This
was very generally discussed but there
has not yet been a definite determine
ton. Schurz and Evarts, who had I'M
der advisement the subject, have not
yet conn ieted their preparations of the
Civil Service rules. The conditions of
the States of Louisiana and South Car
DINA did not form a part of the pro-
ceedings. Some consideration was
given to the subject of calling an ex-
ira session of Congress. but That is
still q matter for future determination
by the President. 1t vas settled that
no necessity existed for an extended
session Of the Senate.
