Mr.. Cleveland Hard at Work.

ALBANY, y. y, Feb. 19.-No visitors
called upon Mr. Cleveland to-day, and it is
understood he is at work on his inaugural
address, and will devote his attention to it
exclusively until finished. 1t is the impress
sion OF leading Democrats here acquainted
With Cleveland and Manning, that while the
latter has not been formally rendered an ap-
pointment as secretary of the treasury, at
the present moment there is little doubt that
his name will be found in the list on
March for the treasury portfolio. Man
ming, according 70 his friends, felt more of
aversion than inclination to take any cabi-
net position, preferring less prominent and
less responsible position in life, but. as
Cleveland has in degree insisted that Man
ming shall be one Of his advisors the latter
consents to accept the post.

the result would be, he said that there
could be but one result if our men only

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The first import -
ant measure under consideration in the SEN
ate was the Des Moines river lands bill
Senator Lapham resumed his remarks and
offered several amendments, which were de-
feated.
Senator Mcpherson said the morning of
six DAYS had been wasted in talking about
this bill, and he moved its indefinite post
ponement. Senator Allison said that all he
wanted was that the senate should vote on
the bill. 1t was bill involving the interests
Of thousands Of people, who believed they
had the right, and asked the privilege Of

tablishing their rights. That was a poor priv
fege he knew, but he asked that the senate

pone was rcjected-yess, %; nays, 80. Sen
ator Morgan addressed the senate on the bill
and then it went over.
Senator Van Wyck called up the Texas
Pacific forfeiture hill, and it was read. Sem
atOr Hale then asked unanimous consent to
take up the agricultural appropriation bill.
Senator Cullom objected, saying be
did not think the agricultural
bill would take up much time.
The consideration Of the forfeiture bill was
then entered upon and the committee amend
ments agreed TO. Senator Morgan offered
an amendment similar to that offered by
him iu the case Of the Atlantic 81 Pacific
bill, providing for reference 20 the United
States courts

concerning the rights and equities claimed
by the United States or by pirate parties in
lands forfeited. Senator Morgan addressed
the senate in support Of his amendment. In
order that be might not be misunderstood he
desired at once EN- phsticsliy to announce bis
conviction that this Texas Pacific grant
should be forfeited, and his determination to
vote for the bill whether the senate adopted
his amendment or not The company never
earned foot Of the land, and Morgan did
not believe any valid transfer Of it could have
been made without the express sanction Of
congress. Having said this much as to his
personal position be addressed himself 70 the

New YORK. Feb. 19.-The latest informe-
ton from Albany, aud 1t came from high
Democratic authority, is that Senator Garland
has been determined upon for attorney gen
eral. He will be again summoned to Albany
soon for consultation. The same authority
states that President-eect Cleveland is
strongly disposed toward Mr.. Lamar and will
probably place him in his cabinet. 1t appears
that Mr.. Lamar, when he talked with Mr..
Cleveland recently in New York, made q
wonderful impression on the latter,a who pro-
nounced him one of the ablest and proadest-
minded men he had ever seen. When az.
vised that the postofice department would
require an active, industrious man, always
on the alert to foil the numerous rings and
cliques of contractors seeking 10 get advant-
age of the government, Mr.. Cleveland began
to think of Lamar in connection with the in

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The interest in
cabinet speculation has very materially
abated for the reason that it is now accepted
as conclusive that Bayard, Lamar, Garland
and Villas, are sure to be members of it.
There is still the assertion that Daniel Man
ming will be at the head of the treasury de-
partment, but the fact in his favor
does not grow stronger with time.
1t is believed that the filing of
the treasury department is giving Mr.. Cleve-
land the most concern. The opposition to
tanning is that he is pronounced protec-
tioDist, an anti-slave man, and what is worse
than all this to
THE MUGwUMP ELEMENT,
he is machine or practical politician.
With the decided assurance that Mr.. Bay
ard is to be at the head of the state depart
ment, causes some very pertinent objections.
First it is alleged that his appointment win
not be hailed with favor by the
Irish-American element, which has
been arrayed against him openly,
since the introduction of his dynamite reso-
luton in the senate. 1t is urged that with
the divisions already existing among the
Irish Democrats, it is better TO conciliate
rather than exasperate this class. The talk
of putting Lamar at the head of the interior
department instead of the postoftice depart
ment, for which he was originally slated,
raised the chance to
MAKE THE CRY
that the department of government, which
has the pension bureau in charge, is to be
presided over bv q confederate While
there can be nothing to the detriment
of pensioners by reason Of such an appoint
ment it gives the old bloody shirt shickers
