Bee, 27th: A republican who arrived
here from Indianapolis to-day, fresh
from the Harrison house, thus outlines
the latest plans relating to the cabinet.
Enough has been ascertalned from the
friends of Senator Sherman to warrant
General Harrison in depending upon that
statesmen as his secretary OF state.
Senator, ALLISON is to be rendered the
of the treasury, and il he
declines, 1t will be offered TO Warner
Miller OF New York, who, if the Iowan
accepts, will take sno her portfolio.
John Wannamaker ia to be rendered o
place, probably the postmaster general
ship. Ii, however, it is advisable give o
cabiaet position to Indiana this place
will be given to Colonel John @. New,
and the secretaryship Of the navy or war
will go to the Philadelphia merchant.
A place is to be rendered to the south,
and it 10 to go to North Carolina or
Tennessee. It is believed that Editor
Olafkson OF Des Moines was authorized
the other dey to tender the seoretaryshIp
OF the treasury to MIR. Allison.
II, by any hook or crook, the demo-
Gratis in the lower house should instruct
their clerk to enter majority OF demo-
cratic names on the roll of the fifsy-fir
congress, il is probable that there will
be very stormy scene when that body
convenes in extra session in December
of next year. 1t is not generally under-
stood, but the best parliamentsrians
10 Washington ~ say that q O.
single objection to the swearing
in OF member of the house will
stand him aside. subject to the decision
OF the contest; which must take the
regular course. The most candid and
better class of democrats in the house,
say it is better that their party should
not try to count in q majority of the next
house, and they are advising frankpess
and aa immediate acknowledgements
that the republicans will organize the
fifty fist congress. There are, however,
quite number OF democratic memb bers
who are determined to fight the question
| to she end, and they WILL resort to every
possible oisreputab!e move to secure the
| organization. The first move when O
new congress ia called tc order by the
old clerk 10 the election of the speaker
| When that officer takes his seat he
directs the old clerk to call the roll OF
members. The states are called in
alphabetical order. and blocks OF about
| twenty members take positions in front
of the speaker aud are by that officer
sworn in. Ii g member appears upon
ths call OF the clerk, whose right to the
seat is questioned, member whose title
is upq 1estioped may rise and object to
the oath being administered, and be
| must stand aside. Some of the shrewdest
| and oldest republican members in the
city, who were elected to the next con-
Rress, say that they propose to object to
the swearing in of the democrats, who
are claiming election, in one district in
each of the states OF Maryland, North
| Carolina, Louisiana, Tennessee, Vir.
ginia, and three in West VIrginia--in all
| elght-where the republicans have un-
doubtedly elected members. II the
governors IN these states should issue
! certificates to these democrats, they will,
| therefore, not be permitted 10 take
the oath. II may be claimed by demo-
Gratis that this objecting process can be
/ OodouobSb oh ooSh ciuCS VA VIC uOuS6
and that as fast as the republicans oh.
ject to democrat taking the oath the
democrats can object to q republican
which will have the effect OF making q
stand-off. There is pothiDg in this,
hewever, as every republican who will
| present himself for the administration oil
the oath wall have perfect right to re-
| ceive it, and it will amount to public
/ I,,k, &1S el1 L.. -
'.Ret eyen," objscting to the swearing In
OF men against whom there is not the
slightest real objection. II ali these
eight districts we're given over to the
democrats the democratic party would
have majority OF one IN the next house.
But there is not one chance In fifty that
all these districts can be stolen, not one
chance in hundred that all OF them
could be held, even il the democratic
governors issue certificates to their
candidates for congress. In the event
of wholesale challenge TO the swearing
in OF democratic who have no right tc
take the oath, it is possible that the
democratic side of the house will refuse
TO act with the republicans, and tina,
they will leaYe the hall OF the house O
representatives and establish IN an In.
dependent session. President Harrison
however, would undoubtedly recognize
the body that remained, and only it's act
could be made legal.
Rather an interesting piece ct diplo
matic gossip was heard here to-day.
gentleman who is very we'll informed ii

your correspondent:
perhaps you are not aware OF tn
fact, but it is nevertheless true, tha
Lord Sackville changed his plans an
gave up his trip to Canada on accoun
of orders from his home office. I hav
not seen any mention of tee fact in th

that his lordship has been ordered tt
