norm PARTIES IN CAUCCS.
The Republicans and Democrats were
,.,h IN session this morning, and many
yer, the speculaiions IN regard to what
,,sr were doing. The Republicans,
,.,r, talked over the proposition to elect
,,5~e Davis in place Of Mr.. Payard, but
1l ,ot reach n conclusion before adjourn
inc Il was stated that some Of them said
rey preferred pronounced opponent,
me- vg. Bayard, to one Of uncertain politi-
al opinions. After caucus, the fact that
Mr. Dawes. Of Massachusetts,, and Judge
n,yi. had long conversation led eorre-
.r,,dcnt, 10 fresh SpeculationS on the
.nbicci. The Democrats, report says,
,.-i, discussed the committees and the
,errctuy-h'p, or rather the admissibility Of
mixing contest for the secretaryship at
tie called session. II is urged 10y many
t5,t an excited contest at this time would
No m-ecmly. and that Chie.-C Jerk Shober
can run the Office until December. The
iurression prevailed that the election will
oot take place at This session. The Rcpub-
rc,n, have Cseic divisions on this point,
and would likely Irefer this plan to be
adopied. Very few committees will be
needed IL this session, and in December
the law requires them to he again elected.
When thi, is done the Democrats hope to
have more liberal share than at present.
rup PRESIDENT AND GENERAL. MALONE.
The report at the Capitol to-day was that
General Malone and the President were
together several hours last night, and hear
inc this. those favorable TO the cause OF the
former concluded that it is arranged that
be I, 10 have the control Of the patronage OF
Virginia. II strikes Democrats, however,
that Mr.. Arthur may soon need Democratic
support in the Senate TO keep ailoat his
Administration. only Republican sena-
Tor or two have to become rcbelliOus to
compel him to call on Democratic sen1tors
Tor help. lie gets on peacefully now be-
cause be has not formed his Cabinet or
made any appointments calculated to excite
TIE hostility Of the IIali-Breeds. This peace
nh term will soon end. It does not look,
therefore. as if he is prepared etake avery
aeiye part i'm the Virginia camgaign.
srEcuLAnONs ABOUT THE CABINET.
/ asked a most prominent Republican
i0-dsy who has superior sources OF infor-
nation what he knew I'll ont the Cabinet.
lie replied, "You may say that Howe, OF
Wisconsin, will most likely get the Trea-
Wry Department; that Frelinghuysen is
pretty certain of being Secretary OF State
that Brewster's chances for Attomey-Gene-
nl ere first-raie; that Sargent, of Cali
iomi1. is quite certain Of either the Post
Office or Navy Department; that General
LOngstreet will most likely represent the
South in the Cabinet. Postnaster-Gene-
~ James. - he said, "will probably remain
awhile in The Post-Oflice Department and
Lincoln remain permanently in the Cabi-
na.v as stated last night, because Grant
nd Logan request it. Judge Folger, OF
New York, hear, has declined the Urea
sury Department, preferring to remain on
the bench. Before / send my last dis

making Cabinets for new Presidents, and
