Special Dispatch to 1ae Tribune.
WAsH1NGToN, D. c.. Jan. At is probable
that the President has rendered the Berlin mis-
sion to Wayne MacVeagh, Of Pennsylvania.
MacVeagh was here yesterday, and had o. conf
dential interview with the President. His
friends say that he has returned to Philadel-
pha to prepare for the vorage.
The st. Louis attorneys who have been here for
the purpose Of endeavoring to induce the At
torney-General to take some action with refer
ence to the reported attempt to indict Capt.
Eals, Of jetty fame, on alleged completely in
irregular bank transactions in Missouri, start
for home tonight, having been entirely unsuc-
ccssful in their mission. The Attorney General
declines in any way to interfere with the opera
tions OF the Grand Jury. District-Attorpey
Bliss, who was also here, convinced the Attor-
ucy-Gcueral that be acted entirely within the
limits Of official duty in presenting Capt Eads
to the Grand Jury. It is expected here that
Ends will not be indicted.
The report in many Democratic papers that
a deficit of S750. 600 had been found in the &C.
counts Of the Government Printer is utterly
false. Nothing Of the Kind has been proved,
nor does anything Of the kind exist. The Pub
lie Printer has official evidence in his possession
to account for every dollar drawn from the
Treasury. The same is true Of ex-Goyernmcnt
Printer Clapp.
The Secretary Of War ia known to be earnest
in his opposition to many features OF the new
Army bill. Gen. Sherman is as earnest In favor
OF it, and is even said to have published the
views only OF those officers who approve the
bill. The Secretary OF War will probably
publish the views of any officer in opposition
to the bill which he may receive.
An official of the House of Representatives,
dav received letter from member Of the
Michigan Legislature, in which the statement is
made that the friends Of ex-Secretary Chandler
are circulating paper for signatures urging the
President to appoint Senator Christiancy to &
foreign mission or 4 Judgeship. The writer
adds: "Of course II there is 3 vacancy. the
Legislature would ELECT Chandler IN reeognitlon CO
of his services as Chairman OF the Michigan
State Republican Committee. If you can do
anything in Washington to checkmatc this
maneuver, for Gods sake do IT,
L man has been found who will decline q Fed
eraI Office. 1t Is Edward L. Pierce, Of Boston,
the biographer Of Charles Sumner, who refuses
to accent the position Of United States Treas
urcr at Boston.
Il is reported that Senator Thurman. in his
Forthcoming Ohio speech, contcmpates return
that trimming to catch ibflation votes is likely
to injure his national prospects.
There is rulnor that Dan Voorhees,, in view
OF the success OF resumption, is disposed to
modify his extreme Greenback opinions.
