ELECT hXPECIED AT TUE CAPITAL TO-
NIGHT PROSPECTS OF TIE FUNDING BILL
PERSONAL NOTES, SC.
From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, February ga virginia
Republican who talked with President
Hayes to-day informs me that his Excel
lency saws there is no reason why there
should be any hurry in conyenIng the
Senate to confirm General GlrGeld'S ap-
poinimenls. He thinks that it is a matter
which the incoming President and not him
self should decide. He added that there Is
no reason why snap-iudgment should be
taken i'm regard to the Reorganization OF
the senate. Nv Republican informant, who
i prominent in your state, was surprised
at the alacrity with which Mr.. Hayes has
yielded apparently TO the suggestion that the
Senate shall not he called together in eX-
TIA session until after WiscOn>iOn shall
elect successor to Senator Carpenter.
There are onl" four instances in which
the senate has not been called together I'M
mcdiateiy after the expiration Of The short
session when a President was TO he inau@u-
rated, aud they occurred ia 1905, 1913, 1921,
and 1888. In each instance il will be seen
that President succeeded himself and re-
tanned his Cabinet The Presidents referred
to were jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and
Jackson. Mr.. HAYES remarked that his own
Cabinet was not confirmed until after the
middle Of March but he ought 10 remember
a
b. Mr.. COnkling among other Republican
senators. and that this caused the delay.
Tonight a leading West Nirgini1n informs
me that be has information most reliable
that Mr.. Hayes will leave It to General Gar
field to call the extra meeting of the Senate.
THE TALK q AN EXTRA SESSION.
There was more talk Of an extra seS-
sion today than / have heard for week,
and it grew on, OF the fact that there was
doubt about the final passage OF the funding
bill and the river and harbOr bill. At so
late stage OF the session bill that has any
formidable opposition is in danger.
COALlNG-STArIONS on THE ISTHMCS.
Mr.. GOode', amendment establishing coal
ing stations on the Central American 18th
mus passed to-day. While the apprOpria.
ton is ouly S2OO.0O0, naval people Of prom
inence say that it will save the United
States a quarter OF a million Of dollars Il
wear. Mr.. Goode was very earnest and en-
ergetic in its support.
SOUTHERN SOLDIERS AND THE INAUGURAL
PROCESSION.
As soon as it was known that few super
loyalst> had made objection to the appoint
mrnf OF General Field by General Sherman
as one OF the commanders OF the inaugural
procession many prominent Federal officer :
| sent him word that they would be glad to
rebuke such a spirit by serving on bis staff.
He has appointed several of these, among
them Colonel Albert Ordway and officers OF
the regular army. Colonel Ordway will
see, he assures me, that any company OF the
First Virginia regiment is properly and
aereeably placed in line. Your cone>pon'
dent had a talk to-day with General Field,
who j. anxious that the southern volunteer
military should be properly represented
here on inauguratiOn.day.
TIE MOVEMENTS OF THE PRESGDENT-ELECT, &C
Presidentelect Garfield will arrive here
tomorrow night or Wednesday morning
and Cabinet-mlkers cOncede that no one i
certain to be among his constitutional adj
yi>ers except Mr.. Blaine. Some OF Mr.
Conkling's friends tonight declare that
Levi p. Morton will be in the Cabinet, but
il is only c)nieclure. Mr.. Blaine will not
resign his place in the Senate until after his
oppointment as Cabinet officer. There
seems to be no doubt but that Judge FOlger
his been laid on the shelf. The western
Deonle continue to claim more positions
than there are in the Cabinet, and at least 0
score OF their statesmen are mentioned 4,
probable Cabinet appolntees.
THE PROSPECTS OF THE FUNDING BILL.
| The river and harbOr bill to-day had pre-
eedence, with the amendments Of the Sen
ate. in the House, aud next in order caInC
the legislative appropriation bin, with SEN
ate amendments. Then Mr.. Tucker can,
after moving to pass by eleven bills on The
Speakers table, reach the funding bill a.
amended by the Senate and afterwards by
the Ways and Means Committee. Now,
while Mr.. Frye and other Republic
cans OF the committee are report
| cd TO be favorable TO fair vote
ON the hill, hear that there are
certainly twenty-five Republicans who have
signed paper pedging themselves to fill
| buster to the bitter end against it. These
fact. raise grave apprehensions as to rs lina
passage. 1t has enough supporters in both
houses, however, TO pass 1t ii time Is allow
ed. | had talk tonight with one Of Tho
most practicable Democratic members OF The
House from Pennsylvania, aud he Informed
me that he thought the bill would pass. He
bad received good many kilograms during
the day in regard to il.
