IN OLD QUARTERS AGAIN.-On Monday
H. E. Cary opened to the public his old
quarters, with an entirely new stock of
goods. Although Mr.. Cary is back in his
old quarters, one cannot recognize in the
newly finished and furnished room the
place of before the fire. The room has been
remodeled throughout, and now presents
a pleasing and inviting appearance, favor
ably comparing with any similar estab-
lishment in this part ofthe State, either in
arrangements or stock. "The oldest gro
Gerry house in Napoleon" has indeed raised
out of it's ashes PhGnix.like, and as it al
ways has been, it is still entitled to be
classed among the institutions of our sub
stantal little city.

WASHINGTON.

The house committee on commerce has
fixed the figures for the improvement of
the Mississippi river at 100000 from
Cairo to the gulf and $500, 900 from Cailo
to the head waters.
THE contest for speaker of the next
house of representatives, at Washington,
grows very interesting. Under the new
rules the position has gained greatly in
personal power. Hiscock and Reed, who
are among the leading aspirants. are best
known as Conkling's and Blaine's candid
ates. Mr.. Kasson, with a national fame
as a polished debater, returns to the house
almost a stranger.
Or all the cabinet positions the treasury
is now the most absorbing topic of specu-
lation. The western men, Allison and
Wilson, of Iowa; Morton, of New York
and Senator Window, of Minnesota, are
the most frequently mentioned. The visit
of Allison to Mentor was announced yes
terday by Mr.. Wilson's friends to be in
his behalf. but it is quite as confidently
stated in other quarters to-day that
General Garfield sent for him to confer
with him personally as TO his wishes in re-
gard to the matters of his own appoint
ment. Mr.. Allison has, however, said to
his intimate friends that he would like to
have Wilson appointed. As to Window
it is known that this name has been very
favOrably considered by the president-elect,
and urged by mutual friends who would
like to see him in the cabinet.
IT is very doubtful if any of the New
York nominations recently sent to the
senate are TO be confirmed. The commits
sion of the Postmaster at Albany does not
expire until the 4th of March. 1t is held
by many senator's that President HAYES
has no authority to make an appointment
for any office whose commission expires
upon the same dav as his own. This OBJ
lection is said TO be enough to cause the
rejection Of Haskell. The other appoint
ments are properly made. Some senators,
however, hold that there is question OF
propricty involved, and that these appoint
ments should be left to the next admins
tration. If General Garfield would or
could signify in any way that he would
like to have these appointments confirmed,
it would undoubtedly be done: but he
makes no sign. Senator Blaine is report
ed by several senators to have said that he
was not in favor of confirming these APP
pointments. Presuming this to be correct,
there is no doubt of their rejection.
