THE ERA OF GOOD FEELING IN WARRINGTON
EVERYBODY CONTENT EXCEPT THE CARPET
BAGGERs-PROsPEcTs OF THE KELLOGG CASE.
There is q general impression in Washington this
evening that the devil il dead Indeed sanguine
people have even proposed to hold funeral service
over him. Nothing lovelier than tho coming
In Of the Cabinet MIR. Chandler made a little
complimentary GRAFTON TO Secretary Schurz on giving
up his portfolio Postmaster General Key having FIRST
'olcmnly resolved to remove postmasters except
Incompetent and dishonest ones, kindly of.
fered tho place Of assistant with charge OF
tho appointments, TO Mr.. Tyner. Senator Cameron,
as chairman Of the Committee on Foreign Relations,
mado his call Of ceremony Secretary Evars but tho
ngbt Of that 'iterary teller" evidently much
Tor tho old gentleman for he went homo aud resigned
bis seat in the Senatea great piece Of good luck for
Mr. Don Cameron, who, according to reports here,
falls heir to his place. Secretary of the Navy Thomp-
son has not yet arrived The Secretary War found
Mr. Don Cameron absent and took possession without
ceremony. Attorney General Devens also found cold
seat, Mr. TAFT having gone to Cincinnati some days
ago. Everybody, including Mr.. Blaine, has made up
with everybody else, unprecedented of
tue and good feeling appears to have set in General
Banks and General Butler. rumor says, alone stand
out and refuse to be comiorted. General Logan has
be booked tor q foreign mission
So lovely Is everything, indeed, that nothing APP
pears less probable than tho wild reports sent out
from here last week by injudcious newspaper OF
opposition In the party to either the Presidents policy
or his Cabinet. These reports now generally
laughed to scorn by the Senators who said to
have been belgerent, and there this evening The
best Of reason TO believe that the whole republican
party here has been for months past longing and i'm
patiently waiting for tho policy, has been
anxious for nothing much tho over
throw OF the carpet-bag governments
lore, Of tho civil service and just such
Cabinet the President has selected SO far from the
nomination Of Mr.. schurz having been unpopular, as
some malignant persons reported, he seems to DO thu
greatest favorite In the Cabinet; and as for Mr. Key
he could not DO better received heartily well
coined by tho republican politicians, H. like Scion
Shingle's "a. ar he had "nt into tho Revolution"
Mr. Kellogg and MIR. Corbn the only people who
remain unhappy this general time of rejoicing; but
even they are not without hope. There was no ses-
sion Of the Senate to-day, but the Committee on
Privileges and Elections met. and the majority agreed
10 report that Mr. Kellogg ought TO be admitted on
prma facic This decision, made tolcrably carly
In the day. has been followed by avery adroit intrigue
Friends OF Kellogg and Packard have gone around
privately to republican Senator'S with tho assurance
that the President extremely that Kellogg
and CoIbin shall be seated by the Senate They as.
serted positively that the President had them that
no wished all his friends 10 vote these two
without fail by this the Senate the only part
ofCongress here would recognize Chamberlain and
Packard, anu thus relieve the President from diff
cult aud embarrassing position, as ho could then be
able to tell Governors Nichols and Hampton that the
action OF the Senate had concluded tho and left
1t out OF his power to recognize them.
This false report OF the Presidents wishes has been
ndustrously and very secretly spread about among
hose republican Senators who supposed be hest
ntng about their vote but to be DESTROYS to please
rary is true Tho President means to deal with these
matters himself and has said TO his friends that he
hopes neither the Kellogg Corbn cases will come
mp at this session Of the Senate
The report giving Mr. Kellogg his seat will be made
10 the Senate tomorrow. 1t will, however not como
up tor discussion at once, bu. will 60 the printer
and there Is moro than chance that 1t will not
be heard from again this session At present three re.
publican Senators absent-Messrs. Ferry, Sharon
Edmunds-and Mr.. Sherman's seat is vacant, SO that
the friends of Mr. Kellogg would hardly venture to push
his case to a vote.
Meantime Mr. Kellogg Is getting desperate and
threatens that II the Senate does him in at once
he will go TO New Orleans, join the Nichols forces
ana help TO send up two democratic senators Ho adds
that Mr.. Corbn will do tho thing in South Caro-.
lima and that thus they add three democratic Sen.
ators TO body already nearly tied. He says hc will
have no Pinchback game played ON him.
