At the Cabinet meeting tomorrow Mr..
Sherman will tender to the President his
resignation as Secretary of the Treasury to
take effect at the close of business on Thurs
day March 8, at which hour he will formal
Iy transfer the department to the control of
Assistant Secretary French, who, according
to law, can only act in such case for a period
not exceeding ten days. At meeting of the
heads of the bureaus of the Treasury depart
ment this afternoon for the purpose of max
ing arrangements to take leave of the Secre-
tafy on Thursday committee was appoint
ed to prepare brief address for the occa-
sion.
General Sherman desires an emphatic con-
tradiction made of the report circulated from
here to the effect that military companies
from the South will be Disseminated against
in the parade on March 4. He says military
companies from the South will receive ex-
actly the same consideration as those from
any other portion of the country.
The refunding bill is now further from be-
coming law than ever before. There is
but a very short time in which to pass the
bill and the Republicans seem determined
to continue flibustering against taking it
from the Speakers table. great deal of
business can be done within the next three
days, and the bill may possibly get through.
provided a compromise is agreed to. The
Republicans have not yet agreed upon pro-
gramme for to morrow, but the indications
are that they Will continue to obstruct the
passage of the bill and probably force an all
night session
The total amount of national bank notes
redeemed during the present month is So
437, $50. The total amount redeemed during
eight months ending to-day is $3, 22O, 400.
The deficiency appropriation bill will be
reported tomorrow, making the last of the
regular appropriation bills to be reported to
the House It will not be called up for con-
sideration until Wednesday. The action of
the House in promptly agreeing to the con-
ference reports on the legislative, Indian and
postoffice bills leaves six bills to be disposed
of, viz: the sundry civil, agricultural, forti-
fication, District of Columbia river and har-
Dor and deficiency. The action of the
House in agreeing to Mr.. Reagan's motion to
send the river and harbor bill to a confer
ence was surprise to its opponents, who did
not think it could command SO much
strength. By the summary proceeding of
suspending the rules they were deprived of
an opportunity of fighting the Senate amend
ments sa1Gtim, as they expected to do.
Representative Frank Hurd says the free
trade organization intends to push ahead and
organize all through Ohio this summer to
make fight for the election of State officers
upon that issue by the Democrats. He feels
satisfied that the aggressive policy of the ma
tional banks in regard to the funding bill will
afford the Democrats another issue that will
aid them materially in Ohio.
