Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1881-11-16

The latest addition is that OF John Daw-
son, OF California, for Sergeant-at-Arm
He was Librarian of the Senate prior to
the Democratic organization OF that
body.
The Clerkship.
Edward NJ. Johnson, OF New York,
late Clerk OF the State Senate, Edward
Mcpherson and ex-Congressman Rainey
are among the candidates for Chief
Clerk. 1t is quite probable, however,
that the election OF the Speaker will
largely influence the disposition OF this
place. If the Speakership goes West,
then an Eastern man will be made CLERK,
and rice rerS0.
More Cabinet Gossip.
There is report that President
Arthur has determined upon his cabinet
slate. That Lincoln will retire by his
own request, and Emory Storrs be made
Attorney-General thate Howe
will be Secretary of the Interior, q. j..
Filley, of Missouri, Postmaster-Genera!,
General Longstreet, or some other
Southern man, Secretary OF the Navy,
and the rumOr does not fill the State and
War Departments. The name OF FrellnG-
huysen has been dropped from among
those mentioned for cabinet positions,
since it was ascertained he was offered
and declined the Attorney-Generalshlp.
The Latest Slate.
Some who profess to be well posted,
say that Howe is no longer considered
by the President, and that ex-senator
Cnatfee. OF Colorado, will be the next
Secretary OF the Interior. There is rea'
son 10 believe, too, that ex-senator Sar-
gent is no longer thought OF. The Pacl-
fic coast has only four Republican votes
in Congress. California and Nevada
went Democratic last year, and oregon
is very close. Hence, it is said. the
claims of that section for Cabinet repre-
sentation have been passed by. 1t Is
the almost universal opinion here that
Filley is booked for Postmaster General
upon James retirement, and it is quite
certain that James will not tarry long in
the Cabinet alter Congress meets.
