two stories high, has no pretensions to architec

business of the office.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
The New York Llcrald of yesterday has the fol
lowing ilenis:-r
CABINET MATTERS.
Cabinet matters besln to assume a new phase,
according to outside report, and thereiormation.
promised threatens not In be so complete as wa
at first supposed. The immediate friends of Mr.
Htansbury a-6ert that that gentleman predicated
his acccp'ance ot the Attorney-Generalship upon
the retention of Mr. Stanton in the Cabinet, in
which he was backed by very strong and In
fluential influences. Stanton, on being applied
to, promised, it retained, to come out
squarely and unequivocally In support of
the President's policy. His instructions to
General Thomas icfusing military inter
ference In the atl'airs of the Tennessee Legisla
ture, are cited as an evidence ot this arrange
ment. It is also positively promised that a letter
will shortly appear from Mr. Stanton in lcply
to Senafof Doolittle's circular, endorsing the
Philadelphia Convention and all the general
features of Mr. Johnson's administration. Sian
tou's enemies assert that this arrangement has
been brouarht abont tn response to tho piteous
appeals of the Secretary of War to be retaiued.
They alleM) that he is positively afraid to leave
the office yet. I give these statements, with the
assertion that they arc traceable directly to the
parties interested.
CABINET DINNER PARTY.
SeTCtary Seward gave a dinner party Saturday
evening to tho members and ex-members of the
Cabinet, Secretary Harlan only b-iug absent.
The gathering was a purely social one.
TUB TENNESSEE DELEGATION.
Since the Hon-e has passed a resolution de
claring Tenuessee entitled to representation in
Congress, some of the delesration ar? intending
to claim their seats to-morrow, and thus test ttie
sincerity of the maiority. As the House has
passed the resolution, and as each bodv is tho
sole .iudee concerning the admission of Its own
members, it is dillicult to conceive how any one
ould object,
c
How National Monky is Wanted. A Parlia
mentary exposure ot reckless extravaaancd is to
bo made. It appears that at Woolwich. Eng
land, two years ago, massive machine framings
and standards were cast in solid gun-metal, and
a large Quantity of iron pic. bouiiht some forty
or fifty years ago, and then paid for at the rate
of 5 Hs. per ton. is used at Shcerness yard for
such purposes as building the walls of clinker
bins aud sullaee houses. At Woolwich yard not
less than two thousand throe hundred and sixtv
three tons have been laid down lor paving some
three thousand four hundred and thirty two
vnrds ot the chmn-cable store and tcstintr house.
The expense per square yard ot labor in laying
down tne pi? nas oeen irom zs. to os. a. a.,
varvine according to local circumstances;" so
tbat the paving has in most instances cost i
per square yard.
