HENDRICKS AND FIELD.

tor Mcdonald are for Judge Field fer Pre-
cifaut Sanafor Mcnona1d cavc 70 dov no,
there is not a word of truth in it. He is for
Hendricks first, last, and all the time. lie
does not think Field an available candidate,
and gives strong reasons why be ought not
to be nominated.
TILDEN's CHOICE FOR THE PRESIDENCY.
When you see it stated that Mr. Tiden
is for Payne Of Ohio as his successor, re-
member that :" the old man" never shows
bis hand in advance. / know Of three or
four statesmen who believe they have bet
ter chance of securing Tilden's support at
Cincinnati than any western aspirant.
have met a half.dozen men to-day OF great
political sagacty who say that Governor
Randolph, of New Jersey, is the coming
man. The party could not select better
candidate.
GRANT TO BE THE NOMINEE-OTHER ITEMS.
Senator Blaine says he expected Illinois
to go for Grant, and therefore he will not
be disappointed. asked a German to-day
why bis countrymen were against Grant,
and he replied: "We left the old country
to get rid OF monarchy, and we believe
that a third term means monarchy" 1t
looks as if Sherman may be nominated for
Vice President. You will say that will not
do because he comes from Ohio, and Ohio is
too near Illinois, but you forget that Ohio
Is against Grant, and the nomination OF
Sherman would greatly strengthen the
ticket in the "Buckeye State" By the
way, it would be well TO nominate Senator
Thurman, with Seymour or somebody else
as an offset to this Sherman boom.
THE QUESTION OF ADJOURNMENT.
The opinion OF senators and representa-
tiyes is not Of character to enable me TO
decide on the question of adjournment.
The passage OF the Bayard deputy-marshals
bill and the rapid progress made in adj
vancing the appropriation bills to-day
looked as II the Senate really wanted to adj
iourn by the 1st of June. Everybody
seems to be anxious to get away, and the
action OF the Senate in letting the Kellogg
matter 90 over indicates that that body is
as anxious for an adjournment as the
House. While correspondents think that
there are a great many measures that ought
to be disposed Of, they incline to the opin-
ion that Congress will adjourn in June.
IMPORTANT MEASURES DISPOSED OF.
Both houses did a good deal to-day to
pave the way for adiournment-Mr. Bay
ards marshal bill and the legislative-appro-
priation bill having passed the Senate, and
the sundry civll-appropriation bill having
been reported to the House. Mr.. Morgan's
eIectoral-count resolutions, now before the
Senate, will be speedily passed unless the
Republicans interpose obstacles and try to
filibuster. IL Mr.. Morgan's resolutions 60
through without unnecessary delay Con.
gress can adjourn by June 1st. but leading
Democrats declare their intention to stay
here all the summer rather than run any
such risks as allowing fraudulent Vice.
President 10 assume the right to make the
count.
