cute the case to the end | will yindicate
myself from all charges Of treachery TO the

the result of a conspiracy to murder me,

The President Elect.
New YoEK, February Gth.-An interview
with leading member OF the Democratic
National Committee leads TO the view that
Cleveland will certainly ap-
point Senator Jonas Of Louisiana a mem
Der of his Cabinet in Difference TO the
wishes Of members of the committee and
the sentiment expressed in a monster petit
ton from all parts of the South. Among
those who called on the President this fore

Senator German, Mr. Warner of Ohio, Ros-
well 7. Flower, ex-Mayor Cooper, General
Sigel and Isaac H. Hunter The latter is u

members Of the Executive Committee of
the Transcontinental Association, who
have been in this city for two or three days
past, have gone home, but Mr. himbAll
the Chairman. still remains. A vacancy
III the Board of Arbitration was occasioned

filed, but the name of the appointee is
reserved al the approval Of Messrs. Stubs
and HannatUrd is obtained. w. q. Smith

The River and Harbor Bill
WASHINGTON, February 6th.-The greater
part OF the session Uf the House to-day was
occupied in the consideration of the river
and harbor bill This bill is fifty pages in
length, and as yet the House, in Committee
OF the " hole, has only considered six pages.
At every stage il has met serious opposi-
ton. and the delays have been so great IS
to cause some talk OF an extra session.
Randall, ss Chairman OF the Appropria-
uUns Committee, served notice on Willis,
Chairman Of The River and Harbor Com
mittee, who has the bill in charge, that after
tomorrow night the Committee on Appro-
pralions was Of the opinion that it should
have the night OF way 10 pass the regular APP
preparation bills. The pOSto1hCe, legislative
and executive and sundry civil apDropria-
ton bills viii be ready for presentation to
the House next week, and their cOnsidera-
tion VIII occupy At least SIX days The
Democratic leaders are altogether opposed
to an extra session, and there is no reason
why, il the House will waive the river and
hubor bill, ell the regular appropriations
cannot be passed by the 18th ot the month.
The river and harbor bill has now been
under consideration for week, and two
weeks more would be required 10 pass it if
progress Is not made at 4 better rate than
has thus far attended the measure.
