THE PRESIDENT AND MR.. MACTEAGH.
REPORTED REASONS WHY AN ATToRNEY-GENERAL
WAS NOT NOMINATED.
TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRBUNE.l

WAS NOT NOMINATED.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON, Oct 24-A hundred rumors have
obtained currency to-day of changed intentions on
the part of the President regarding the selection OF
Mr. MacVeagh's successor. all growing out of the
fact that in defiance of universal expectation OK
Senator Howe's nomination not sent TO the SEN
ate today Those supposed to be best informed re-
carding the Presidents intentions were as much
surprised by the omission as the public gen
orally.
The first rumor which assumed TO account for it
came from member of the Cabinet, Who although
he had not cOnvcrscd with the President about the
matter believed he correctly informed. Ii was
to the effect that while Mr.. Howes friends had as
snred the President he would accept the position,
that gentleman's acceptance had not been re-
ceived. second report was in effect
that Acknowledgement MacVeagh had reconsidered
his determination to leave the Cabinet at once, and
had concluded to remain until the other members
retired in December Again it was said that ex-
Secretary Boutwell, had come TO the front, and was
likely to get the place after all. Late at night the
opinions of those whose intimate rclatonsas friends
and advisers of the President best entitled their
opinions to respect assumed a more positive tone,
and became confmatOry of each other They were
in effect as follows
The President determined to try once more 20 in
duce MacYeagh to remain in the Cabinet until some
disposition was made Of the Star Route cases.
The President therefore requested the At or1ey-
General 10 call upon him to-day, and during the
interview the request was IorInaliV Ila1s Dy me
IN his position, with which request Mr. MacNeagh
refused compliance. IL is probable that this was
mere formality inasmuch as tue Attouey,Gcnerai
had previously made known his positive detelinlfa-
tiOD to leave the Cabinet.
