WASHINGTON. Dec. 15.-The cabinet
changes are still under discussion. There
is, however, no change in the situation as
described in these dispatches, few days
ago. 1t is pretty certain that Folger will
step out. His place is now demanded by
a Cameron man, and he may get it. Old
Simon left his vicar of Wakefield at home,
and is doing nothing but fixing things po-
litically. The latest rumor is that Lincoln
will get the British mission. Lincoln is
said to have refused tho position during
the last period of dissatisfaction. He has
since revised his decision. The hint has
been given him that ministers to the court
of st. James sometim3 become presi-
dents, and Arthur is perfectly willing to
further his aspirations BY sending him
abroad. Everything points to the recon-
struction of the cabinet on the plan in
tended in these dispatches some time ago.
The wire pullers are hard at work here,
and changes may occur at any moment.
THE CHINESE Law.
Secretary Folger to-day made decision
on a novel point, made respecting the op-
Grafton Of the Chinese law. Some months
ago a Chinaman, then living in Pitts
burgh, left for the home Of his birth, an
nouncing that he was ABOUT to be married,
and that he proposed Is return with his
bride to this country. Secretary Folger
says if Yee OFT, for such is the Celestlals
name, returns to this country with non
resident, she will not be allo we'd to remain,
even though she be the wifi of one who
would be if he returned alone.
THE OFFICES IN THE HOUSE.
Messrs Blackburn and Carlisle, of Ken
lucky, Hammond, of Georgia, Atkins, of
Tennessee, and several other aspirants for
the offices in the next house of representa-
tives, forget that Northern Democrats are
going to be in majority, and Southern
Democrats are not going to get all the
offices. If Mr.. Atkins, of Tennessee, is
elected clerk, neither one of the Kentuck-
ians nor Mr.. Hammond will be elected
speaker, and there is now very strong
probability that Mr.. Atkins will get the
clerkship of the Northwestern candidates.
Mr.. Randall has so much opposition that
few believe that he can get the speaker
ship. The result is that Mr.. Springer is
not only candidate, but he is candidate
with strong prospect of success. 1t is
not fact, however, that Mr.. Atkins is
runnina for the clerkship in the interest. o1
Mr.. Randall. He is running in his own in
terest, and is making no trades or combi
nations.
SCHEMING FOR HARMONY.
The political cauldron continues to boi
and bubble. Rumors are as plenty a
blackberries and concern almost everyon
from the president down. He was on tn
floor of the senate again to-day. His oh
jective point seemed to be Malone, an
the Virginia readjusters talked togethe
for an hour by the clock. 1t is said b

he has it not; that he placed before hir
, the pressing needs of the Republican part
and counseled a seeming compliance
: the will of the people as expressed by th
last elections. Malone has given asse1
