president is known not yet to have settled
upon his counseors himself, it is generally

his resignation being accepted, to take effect
at an early day. Mr.. Window is not salts
fed with his present position, and desires to
get back to the senate. He is laying his
wires for this object. Hon. Il. d. Morgan of
