POLITICAL POINTS.

One of the flying rumors of the day
is to the effect that President Arthur has ten
dered Cabinet position to Judge Lapham, of
New York. giving Gov. Cornell chance to call
special session of the Legislature to elect
Conkling to the Senate.
1t is stated, with considerable posi-
tiveness that President Arthur has informed
Postmaster General James and Secretary Hunt
that he wishes them to retain their present po-
sitions, and has assured them that they may
stay as long as they desire. Both gentlemen
have consented to remain.
Hon. Nelson w. Aldrich has been
elected United States Senator from Rhode
Island in place of Gen. Burnside. He is q
member of the present House Of Representa-
Eves.
1t is stated that ex-senator Conkling
has been offered Cabinet position by the Pres
ident, but has declined in the interest of peace
and harmony.
Several public men who called on
President Arthur left with the inference that
Secretary Lincoln is the only member of the
Cabinet to be retained. There is no reason TO
expect that Gen. Grant or Roscoe Coulding
will be among the new ministers. SO says a
Washington correspondent.
