When Colorado was admitted as State

fair position in the Senate
Wm. J. Chandler, who is nominated
| to succeed VIM. Hunt as Secretary Of
the Navy, was born at Concord, n H..
Dec. %, 1885. He graduated at Harvard
Law School in 1855, and in 1859 was ap.
pointed law reporter of the Supreme

five volumes Of reports. In 1852 he was
elected member Of the New Hamp.
shire Legislature, being reelected in
1863 and 1864, and became Speaker of
the House during the latter years. IN
1864 lie was appointed special counsel TO
prosecute the Philadelphia Navy Yard
frauds, and in 1865 was made First AS
sistant Secretary cf the Treasury, hold
ing the position until 1867. Mr.. Cbnnd-
Ter has been one Of the most active pol.
iticans in the country, taking a promi.
nent part in the contest over the disputed
electoral votes in 1876, and in the famous
cipher dispatch inquiry in 1873 and
1879. He headed the Blaine delegation
from New Hampshire to the Republican
National Convention in 1880, and in
March, 1881, was appointed solicitor.
general by the President at Mr.. Blaine's
request, but WAS rejected by the Seuate.
Since then Mr.. Chandler has become
reconciled with the staiwart wing of his
party, and his present appointment to
the cabinet is supposed to have been
made with the intention Of securing his
powerful influence in New Hampshire
against his former chief, Mr.. Blaine.
Mr. Worthington, nominated for col
lector of the port Of Boston, is the prin-
cipal proprietor of The Boston Traveller
and stauncii personal friend Of Gen
Butler Mr.. Knox, the comptroller OF
the currency, vino has been in Office for
ten years, is renominated for another
term of five years. The nomination OF
Secretary Hunt for the ministry to
Russia, is not, ii is understood, very ac-
ceptable to him, but he will take the
place in lieu OF something better. He
preferred Iirst To stay where he is and
next to have some good thing here, but
the President thought he ought to be
satisfied to take whit he could get. The
difficulty Of providing ior him has de-
layed the sending in of cabinet nomna
tons. Mr.. Lincoln is now the only one
of President Garield's cabinet left, and
it is generally understood that he is to
remain. The nomination of Mr Chand
Ter for Secretary of the Navy was re.
turned to the committee on naval affairs
OF which Don Cameron is chairman
and through whose efforts Mr.. Chandler
when nominated last spring by President
Garfield for Solicitor General, was re-
jected. 1t is not believed that Don will
make any particular effort against Mr.
Chandler now, as it would antagonize
him with the administration, and his op.
position last spring was mainly to oblige
his brOther-in-law, Mr.. MacVeagh, the
then Attorney General There will un-
doubtedly be opposition to Mr.. Chand
Ter, but from the best information think
there is no reason to doubt his confirma.
tiOn. The solid Democratic vote was
cast against him for Solicitor General
but it is likely to be divided now, and
very few if any Republicans will vote
against him.
