has AT the same time notified them that ii
they are not willing to unite on Rosecrans

to appoint ROsecrans, but he does not wish

but unless they do the Incumbent will serve
, out bis term Efforts are making to have
the Field men ind0rse Rosecrans. and il IS
thought that when they know that Carr

ther objection 10 R0secrans. Judge Field
had an interview with the President to-

that Field will not object to ROsaCrans ii
he can prevent Waliaces appointment
