Washington, Jan. % Our people
at home, Judging from the heme papers
received here, are taking more interest in
the matter OF representation OF the state
IN the Cleveland cabinet than the MEM
bers and others who reside here tempora
rlly. At any rate there has been very
little disposition to talk on the subject.
To-dav, howeve~. the very slightest in
teiest was observable IN the suggestion to
have the legislative caucu nominate Gov.
jarvis. | heard no positive approval,
but 10 several quarters the proposition
was treated as ore likely to bring iidicule
upon the movers, if not upon the State
itself. A very distinguished citizen not
in politics went beyond the means pro-
posed to the man proposed, and observ-
should the choice fall upon Gov. Jarvis.
1t is my duty to chronicle things as | hear
them. These are matters of public in
terest and general discussion. One gen
tleman of the Congressional delegation
all the while been the fast friend Of
Gov. Jarvis, Hon. Thomas G.. Skinner.
| am inclined to think that Senator
Vance prefers to the present DO nothing
policy that the leading men of the State,
by any sort Of concert, should agree upon
son e gentleman to propose to Mr.. Cleve-
and for a cabinet Office. | am disposed to
regard Senator Ransom as not inimicalto
the appointment of any able aud suitab
North Carolinian. But these geptIeme,
have high positions whose duties require
heir full time, and they do not perhaps
Feel called upon to engineer any such
movement as has been suggested. Some
Carolians are candid enough To
that, with Ransom and Vance in
he Senate, Scales in the executive Office.
