The Worlds Washington special says the
southern senators, with one or two excep-
tions favor confirming Evarts, but the op-
position Is very strong, and gives indica-
tions OF assuming a phase which may put
him out of the field altogether.
SHERMAN ENTERS THE CABINET.
Mr.. Sherman Friday forwarded his resg-
nation as senator to the governor of Ohio
He will pay attention first to the internal
affairs of his department.
HAYES PLANS FOR SOUTH CAROLINA AND
LOUISIANA.
The Worlds special says it is stated in
the highest republican quarters that the
president has decided to give Chamberlain
and Packard an opportunity to voluntarily
retire from the positions which they can
not possibly maintain, and il after reason
able time they are determined to hold out,
rders for the Withdrawal OF the military
from the south will be issued.
THE KELLOGG CASE.

privileges and elections will take I'D Kel-
logg's credentials. 1t is not understood
that the president opposes Kelogg's ad-
mission.
BLAINRls POSITION.

vors placing the postoffice patronage under

WHY scHURz WAS APPOINTED.
The Tri6une's special says it 10 reported
that Schurz was given the interior depart
ment because he had no entangling alliances
with republican politicians, and was under
no personal or political objections which
might induce him to deal tenderly with the
manifold abuses which have worked their
way into the very structure of that depart
ment. As reformer 1t is predicted that
Schurz will be fearless and merciless.
THE APPLICATION OF REFORM TO THE OWL
SERVICE.
The Worlds special says: 1t is reported
that the president contemplates no changes
in the personnel of minor offices, except to
secure increased efficiency. There will be
numerous changes in foreign missions, and
a few In the consular service. In the de-
partment of justice, the marshals in the
south will be overhauled. Schurz will be
requested to make full investigation of
the interior department, especially of the
Indian bureau and postoffice rings. Sew
eral New York republicans have been try
ing to change the offices filled by Conk-
ling. These appointments will not be
distributed at present. An effort Ia max
ing to find some candidate of the negative
and unobjectionable sort, to whom Conk-
ling will not object, to succeed Collector
Arthur. 1t is palmer every day that the
game is still in Conklings hands so far as
New York Is concerned.
A SCARCITY OF OFFICE SEEKERS.
The Tribune special says 1t is remark
able and creditable fact that with the in
coming of the new administration, having
control Of from 10000 to $4,000 public
| offices, the number Of persons seeking gov
eminent employment is actually less than
that of those who came here In December,
1875, to compete for 100 or 200 appoint
ments to be made by the democratic house.
NO RxTRA SESSION.
The Tribune special says the belief 10
gaining ground that an extra session of
congress will not be necessary. The re-
vised statutes authorize the secretary of
war after July LIST to make contracts, but
not for the pay of the army or for ordln-
| ance stores.
