Lspscial to the sentinel j

special from Washington says The House
Special Committee has discovered franking
privilege abuses Of sufficient gravity to
suggest the need Of important changes in
the law. Among the abuses it is mentioned
that in the recent political campaign the
National Committees of both parties sent
out vast numbers Of political documents
and franks. The number Of documents
sent from Washington last Summer has
been estimated at fifty million. Two
hundred clerks were employed for weeks
in writing the names of Congressman on
blank envelopes to be used for the purpose
mentioned.
Garfield and His Cabinet.
S~PRISeFIELD, Feb. 16.-Governor Gull
lom has returned from Mentor. He found

the best since Lincoln's time, unless the
present promises fail. Robert L. Lincoln
will be given the Interior portfolio, and
that Blaine and Allison are to go in is an
open secret. 1t is asserted also that the
visit of Conkling to Mentor is not upon
the invitation of the President-elect. 1t is
also understood that his branch of the
party is finding it necessary to make its
desires known.
