In the House.

WASHINGTON, -. c., April h-tSpe-
cial)-Senator Hunton has been absent
from his post of duty since last Ihirs-
day on account Of an attack OF rh"uIha-
tism. which began to trouble him nearly
a month ago. The pain IS confined chiefly
TO his right leg. and it appears TO centre
at thu knee. When last at the senate
chamber he managed 20 walk only WITH
difficulty. lie is at his residence. IN
Warrenton The Senator Is so faithful
to his duties that he would certainly be
here If it were prudent for him TO leave
the house. lie l. said not to be danger
ously sick. and It Is better for him TO Re-
main indoors. and receive proper treat
III Mt. There IS nothing OF pressing I'M
portance requiring his presence here at
present, and it is hoped and believed mat
General Hunton will soon be able 10 ie-
sumo his duties. He IS reported as =
ting along nicely. and has improved with
in thu past few days report wa5 IN
circulation to-day that he WAS very ii.
and his absence from the chamber having
given rise to rumors regarding his physi-
cal condition, is the reason for making
these statements In the Dispatch.
SENATOR DANIEL.
Senator Daniel was asked to-day If he
proposed addressing the Senate on the
subject Of the tariff while the bill is pend
ing. lie said he did not expect to make
d regularly-prepared speech but during
the course Of the discussion he thought
1t more than likely he would take part,
as there were some matters he would
probably care % discuss.
Senator Daniel to-day, from the Commit
tee on Claims. reported a bin favOrabiy
for the payment Of nearly $4,000 To the
administrators Of the late Henry FitZ-
hugh, of Spotsylyauia county. Va. The
Court of Claims had already passed upon
/ the matter and recommended that u
sum approXimating $4,000 bee voted by
3 Congress. The original claim. which is
} for supplies taken ly the Union army
during tn war, was nearly $lop.oln.
Henry Fitzhush. as the report shows.
was loyal TO the Union.
SUCCESSION TO VANCE.
An impression prevails here among
! North Caiolnians that Governor Carr
/ will name the Successor 10 Senator Vance
/ Oh Friday or Saturday of this week,
/ and much quiet speculation is INDUCED
/ in regarding the ST. l.ction. Gue-ses are
. being made. Some think that it the Gov
| eru0r considers The geographical qUcs-
/ tl0n he viii bc most likely 10 appoint
! Judg- Avery. Of the Supreme Court OF
tn STATE. Should be- 10 this. the Gov
/ erulr. they argue. would not only honor
a close friend and warm supporter. but
would have chance % make still other
appointments. For instance, Judge Hoke.
OF tn Superior Court. or some other
equally Wsli-knoWu juriet. could be- pro-
NOTED T. the highest court IN the state.
That would create -tll another vacancy
ON the bench. II. on the other hand,
tn Governor should ignore geographical
lines and name Ex-Governor Jarvis. h.
would do rvce TO "A friend, but at
the same time cause clash hy up
setting some Of the political calcula-
! tiOns.
EN-Governor Jarvis lives in tho eastern
part Of the state. and Judge Avery is
from the western portion.
The greatest interest Is felt here II
tn outcome. and not few believe tha
come one not now pr0miu .Etly men
toned may Dee appointed.
