New YORK, March 5.-The Post says:
Speculative markets at the stock exchange
were buoyant this evening on dispatches from
offered and accepted the position of secretary
of the treasury. Senator Window is regarded
as, to put it mildly, an expansiUnist, and the
theory on which Wall street is acting is that
he will turn adrift good part of the coin in
the treasury by means of bond purchases. 1t
may be that his views when he has the respon-
sibilites of office on him will be more con-
servative than his record on the currency
question leads spectators to expect
The Commercial says: If the appointment
of Window to the treasury is confirmed by
later news it may be taken for granted that the
Western policy on currency, gold and silver
coin and debt paying to the last available
dollar in the treasury, will rule in the new
cabinet. Blaine, who is to be the premier, is
as much in favor of this policy as Window
! himself, nor is the President any other than
gold and silver man, and will soon prove a
| debt paying In place of q debt-refunding eXecrl-
tive. After the cabinet was announced so far
as the treasury is concerned there was bound

A S,rap,p Land Decision.

WASHINGTON, March 5,-The attorney gen.
eral has rendered an opinion in the matter of
the claim of the State of Illinois to indemnity
for swamp lands sold by the United States
within six miles of the Illinois railroad, con-
sisting of sections reserved by the United
States and required by the act of September,
1850, to be sold for not less than $3.50 per
acre. In June, 1855, McClelland, then secre-
tary of the interior, decided that the swamp
grant did not take effect on these reserved
lands, and his decision has since been followed
by the interior department. Last June Secretary
Schurz declined to disturb the accepted decision
and held that the revision of the statutes in
1874 made no change in the existing laws such
as would authorize new construction to be
placed on swamp grants. Secretary Schurz
also held that the decision of McClelland must
be treated as res judicata. Attorney General
Devens in his opinion endorses Secretary
Schurzs conclusions and also adopts his sug-
gestion that If Illinois has been deprived of
any rightful benefit ample opportunity has
been and still is afforded for application to
Congress for relief.

On reassembling, the galleries which, during
the day, had been visited by numerous sight
seers, were densely crowded, and upon the eu-
trance of Senator Blaine, the visitors gave vent
to their exuberance by way of compliment to
that Senator, in loud applause, and the demon
stratioh was repeated upon the appearance of
Vice President Arthur As soon as the chair
called the Senate to order Senator Anthony

that the occupants of the galleries
were strangers, and unacquainted with
the rules. They should be made to understand
that any manifestation of appreciation or dis
appreciation was an insult to the body and
would lead Immediately to the galleries being
cleared The Vice President instructed the
sergeant-at-arms to see that order was main

A message was received from the President
of the United States, when Senator Cameron,
of Pennsylvania, moved that the Senate pro-
ceed to the consideration OF executive business.
The motion prevailed without objection, and
the galleries were cleared and the doors closed.
When the doors were reopened the Senate ad-
iourned until Monday.

request of national banks, recently received
at the treasury department, that they be al
lowed to redeposit bonds withdrawn, and take
ont of the treasury legal tender deposited for
retirement of circulation. The subject was
discussed to some extent, without conclusion.
Acting Secretary French said it was not at
all probable any decision would be made by
him which would change the regulations of
the department regarding the withdrawal of
legal-tenders by national banks. That ques-
tion would require thorough consideration be-
fore it was determined, which would not be

In making the announcement the President
spoke very feelingly, assuring the gentlemen

been rendered, the President hoped each one
would do him the service of remaining in

reason has made but few enemies. His
familiarity with the postal service will render
him invaluable to the administration. His
fitness for the place cannot be doubted.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Wayne MacVeagh, of Philadelphia, is
lawyer of considerable prominence. This
prominence is due more to his wealth, which
was inherited, than to his ability. He has
dabbled in politics of late years,and was onelof
the visiting statesmen who fixed up the cleo
toral fraud in Louisiana by which the vote of
that State was cast for Hayes. During the
late contest for the SenatOrship IN Pennsyl-
vania he was occasionally mentioned as a pos
sible compromise candidate, but at no time
did he receive more than four or five votes.

President Gaa5ield's Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The cabinet as
sent to the Senate is: James. G. Blaine, secre-
tary of state; VIM. Window, secretary of the
treasury; Robert Lincoln, secretary of war;
VIM. Il. Hunt, secretary of the navy; Thos. L.
James, postmaster general; Wayne McVeagh,
attorney general; and S. J. Kirkwood, secre-
tary of the interior.
The Senate in executive session voted to con-
firm the cabinet unanimously.
Senator Window, when first offered the
treasury portfolio, declined. Then when
Allison declined Window was again urged to
accept and did so. Window said to several
Senator's this morning that his only regret was
at leaving the Senate.
Senator Blaine said to-day that strange as it
might sound the great difficulty in the for
nation of the cabinet was in finding men
adapted to the positions who would accept, land
that there had been number of declinations

Plaisted his resignation as United States Sen
ator, to take effect this day. He also mailed
a notification of his resignation to the speaker
of the Maine House of Representatives. Both
communications should be received next Mon
day, which will enable the legislative to elect
his successor on the second Tuesday follow
ing.
Senator Window will delay signing his resig-
nation till Monday next, as the Minnesota
legislature adjourns to-day, and the governor
will then have unquestionable power to ap-
point his successor Immediately; whereas a
resignation dated on day when the legisla-
ture was in session, although not received
until after the adjournment, might give rise to
doubts as to the governors power to appoint.

which were polished in Philadelphia
and one in Knoxville These specimens
show that quarry to possess as fine and
as rich marble as any yet opened in

knowing that the Messrs. Chestnut are

ties OF this splendid variegated stone
for manufacture in the Eastern and

marble is being looked to from all parts

kins county heads the list. When a

that $242, 913 will open a channel 90 to
so feet wide and Is inches deep at ex'
IRENE lew water, for steamboat naviga'
tiop, as far up as Kingsport or the mouth
of the North Fork, and to remsve all
distractions down to low-wateT mark
above that point, to facilitate the de-
scent Of RATS or fiatbOGts, On the Nsrth
Fork as high up as Saltville, Va. He
| says Longs Shoals and the Poor Valley
shoals are the most troublesome places
IN the Holston river and estimates the
cost of making a channel.through them,
each, at, for Longs upper shoals, $17,-
600; Longs lever shoals, $1,000; Poer
Valley shoals, $22, 200. Some of the
smaller shoals are as follows: Chris
tian's, 81, 800; Surgoinsville, 81, 800; Mil
ler's, So, 500; Burem's, $4,000; Big
Creek, 50, 500; Clouds, So, 900; Moneys
So, TIC; Anderson's, $1,000, and various
others for less. The full amount re-
quired to clean out Holsten from the
mouth of North Fork to Stroud's Spring
Run in Granger is 1927, 765. 1t will
probably require $50, 900 more to COM
plete the work TO the city of Knoxville.
Maj. SanbOrn reports that the naviga-
ton of the HOlston with light draft
steamboats, is entirely feasible, He
closes his report by saying: "There is
large area of country tributary to the
Holston river, and much of it is well
settled and we'll improved, and part of
the products of the farms, mills, mines
and quarries of this large section even
now find their way to market by river.
If these improvements should be exc
cuted they would add greatly to the
value of all the lands near the river and
would afford all the people cheap, easy !
and reliable access to their best markets
at all seasons of the year, and |
have duly considered the expense of |
overcoming the obstacles to the safe |
navigation of the Holston, and l am
fully convinced that this river should
be improved as soon as possible to the
extent provided for in thrSr estimates"
according 70 the cSLliI1NcS HlduC ny
this officer 1t will require $207, 675 to
make the HOlston river navigable fer
steamboats,. This matter is certainly of
sufficient Importance to engage the at
tention of our people, The amount of
money required is small-much smaller
than we had supposed-and if the prop
err representations were made and the
proper influences brought to bear upon
the Congress of the Uuited States there
would be little or no difficulty in secur-
ing the appropriation. tits to be hoped
gentlemen of influence in all this upper
country will go to work this summer
and fall, so that next winter the matter
can be brought before Congress in its
true light
