The New York Sun prints the follow
ing remarkable despatch from Wash
iaRtOn
"WelL-informed politicians promise
interesting developments early in the
year. These men, who profess to bI
down deep in the well, say to those W {
they can trust, that early in January
Secretary Lincoln will be appointed
Minister TO Great Britain, that ex-Gov
HarEan.t OF Pennsylvania will he ap
pointed Secretary of War, and thai
Brewster will take Justice Bradley's
place on the Supreme bench, While O
strong but not factonal Republican
from the West will become Attorney
General. Such is reported to be the
present program
In it the finger of Simon Cameron il
suspected. The old gentleman is here
bot without his copy Of the vicar ol
Wakefield, The proposed nomination
Of Hartiantt for Secretary of War ID
his su4get tion. 1t has long been known
that Peunsy lvania Republicans have
been dissatisfied with the reprsS 3ntR.
tive Of that State in the Cabinet. Mac.
Veagh suited only the choice few,
while BrawsteT's local reputation as a
lawyer does not make amends for his
lack OF reputation as . politician.
Cameron has desired some other man
in the Cabinet from his State. IT il
undoubtedly true that he contemplated
urging his own appointment as 5eCre'
tary of the Treasury in case Judge Fol-
ger had been elected Governor of New
YORK.
"rhe President has not been wholly
pleased with the ridiculous attitude in
which Brewster has placed the admin
lstrGtiOu respecting some features OF
the Star Route trial.
Brewster himself has not relished
the task OF prosecuting, with all the
unpleasant incidents connected there
with, simon Cameron has insisted
that the first step toward union OF
Pennsylvania Il publicans was the
appointment of another Pennsylvania
man in the Cabinet and tae retirement
of Brewster.
A man who thoroughly understood
Pennsylvania politics was regarded as
necessary. But there was some diff.
cnlLieS III the way Of making the
change. These are reported to have
been cleared.
Congressmen who have returned to
Washington report u remarkably
strong feeling among the people in
their districts in favor of the nomina-
tion OF Secretary Lincoln for President
in 1884 This sentiment is said TO be
couhned to no section; in fact, it is less
strong i'll Illinois than elsew here.
In Michigan, in Iowa and
in some parts OF New England the re.
port is brought that the party not only
regards LlucOiu as an inevitable can
didat0 but also rs most available
ono,
at ia reported that President Arthur
has been tor some time of the opinion
that Mr.. Lincoln was the most avail
ahle candidate. Besides the nOmina-
zion of Lincoln would not be without
cretit to the present Administration,
especially az /: is pretty well understood
that General Arthur has no idea of
being Lis own successor. He is repor-
ted as being quite ready to help Lin
coin. jackson nominated Van Buren,
for Minister to the Court Of st. James,
though the Senate refused to confirm,
Mr.. Van Buren,, however, succeeded
jackson. Pierce sent Mr.. Buchanan to
England, it being we'll understood that
this was part of the plan which sub
S.quently carried Buchanan to the
v hite House, General Arthur, It is
said, has offered Mr.. Lincoln the En-
glish mission, and tie offer has been
accepted, to take effect in Jnauary."
