Own CbrrfjponrfCT.
Washington, Deo. 12, 1808.
The Concrennlonal Hecm.
Cengrewi waa In session bat four days this
yreek. Very little practical legislation was ac
complished, but enough work to consume
much of the session was mapped out. I have
already Indicated In this correspondence what
will, In all probability, constitute the leading
features of the action of Congress durlnn the
present session. In addition to these there will,
Ol oonrse, be the usual nnmber of private bills
and schemes, whose success depends, to a great
extent, npon the manipulation and perseve
ranoe of the lobby. Very little, however, will
be done until aflor the holiday recess. This
you will perceive Is unusually long, consider
ing the shortness of the session.
The I.en1erNlii or the House.
The death of Iho Honorable TiiaJUo'us Ste
vens, who was confessedly the leader of the
Houko up to the adjournment last July, has
given rise to considerable rivalry in a quiet way
for the honors of that position. While the
"old man" lived, and ecpeolully during the
last two sessions ol Concress, two or three mem
bers attempted to wrest the sceptre from hi
bands, ttut bo powerful w8 bis Influence that
Ihls opposition never assumed a more danger
ous shape than peisouul Jealousy. Now, how
ever, thai be Is g- ne the way is comparatively
clear, and tho aspirants are left to contend
with each other lor the mastery. While Mr.
Btevens lived the man who was most ambitious
to fill his place was John A. Ulugham, of Ohio
Kvcn In his feeblest days the member from
the Lancaster district bandied Bingham
debate ps a strong man would
a child. It was bo with all
the other members that attorapted to measure
ewords with the Ureal Commoner. The Chair
man of the Ways and Means Committee should
be the leader of the House. But It dopeuds very
much upon tho character of the man whether
be Is able to assume the position given him by
custom and parliamentary usage. When the
jate Mr. Stevens was placed at the bead of that
committee, soon after the beginning of the war,
he became at once the leador of the House.
Afterwards, when the Ways and Means Com
mittee was divided and the Committee on Ap
propriations was carved out of It, Mr. Stevens,
as chairman of the latter committee, was as
much the leader of the House as he was when
at the bead of the Ways and Means. HN sue
cessor, General Scuenck, of Ohio, although
a man of conceded ability, can hardly
be said practically to be the leader
of the House. He lacus thoso rare qualities so
essential to such a position. Though a hard
worker, a good debater, and eminently practi
cal, he has none of the manugement, the adroit
ness, and, above all, tho sarcasm and quiet good
bumor of Mr. Stevons. He can stir up all the
elements of opposition, but he does not seem t0
understand the secret of quieting them at plea
sure and making them subserve the success of
bis own plans. Judge Bingham would like to
be leader, but, like Sohenck, he lucks the quali
fications. Though a good speaker and a ready
debater, be loses bis temper too easily, and
Instead of conciliating those whom be can
neither win nor destroy, he only stimulates
them to more determined hostility. The House.
Indeed, may be said to be without any leader at
present, j.6I1I,,,yVRnn NcnnforsliIi.
It may seem somewhat strange that you
Bhould receive Intelligence on this subject from
Washington. Just now, however, the cam
paign seems to be transferred here. The Hon.
O'a usha A. Grow, who contends that be has
the Inside track, has been here for some days
earnestly at work with tho Pennsylvania dele
gation. Whatever other qualities he may pos
Bess, he certainly deserves the credit of being a
Bhrewd politician. Like everybody ele, he dis
trusts the promises and professions of the
Pennsylvania Legislature made In advance of
tbelr caucus lor the nomination of Senator.
Recognising the fact that the members of Con"
gress from the several districts of the State
bave more or less Influence over the members
of the Legislature from their districts, he is
quietly at work trying to get the superior
power to move the Inferior In his behalf
Hot being in his confidence, I cannot say with
What success be has met. It is sate to assume,
however, that It is hardly so greut as he de
Sires, from the fact that the delegation Is pretty
veil divided among the several tactions of tue
Blate. None of the other candidates have made
their appearance here, at least upon the
game errand as Grow. General Cameron's son,
Don," was here for a day or two, but he
Bbowed no disposition to work among mem
bers for the Senatorshlp. Indeed, tho peculiar
relations of bis father render such an eiTjrt
hopelessly futile.
l'fiiiisylvaMlu In tlio Cabinet.'
Ever since the election of General Grant a
Quiet contost bas been going on between the
different aspirants and their friends for a place
In the Cabinet to be awarded 1'ennsylvanla.
There Is no scarcity of candidates. Not less
than half a dozen bave managed to get their
names mentioned In connection with the posi
tion. Two or three, however, have been se
riously spoken of. Among these I may mention
ex-Governor Curtln, Governor Geary, and
Colonel John W. Forney. Curtln is backed
Wholly by State Influence, his chief fugleman
being A. K. McU.uio. The latter has baeu
here lor some days try Ins the strength of his
friend, not only with the Pennsylvania delega
tion in Congress, but with tne prominent men
outHldo the State. He has discovered, wuat
most men of ordinary intelligence knew
before, that CurMn's reputation is strictly looul,
and tti at even at home he Is by no means us
mron g as his friends suppose. Besides, he has
a powerful and determined opponent in Sena
tor Cameron, who will exercise whatever
power he may posse s to keep Curtln
out of the Cabinet as well as out
of the Senate. There are few who
believe that Governor Geary will be invited to
n seat In Hie Cubluel, and fewer still who think
In it be would accept it. It is quietly whispered
ju usuiilly well-Informed circles, loo, thai Col.
Forney's chances are better than any of the
others. Forney is personally Intimate with
General Grant. He was among the first Jour
nalists In the Republican party to hoist the
nimenf Grant for the Presidency. Ills advo
cacy cf the General's election, both on
the stump end in bis newspapers, has
been unremitting. Unlike either Cur
tln or Geary, Forney has a national reputa
tion, and he Is slrouKly urged by some of tho
ablest and most prominent radical Senators
and members. What Influence be can bilng to
brar from his own State 1 do not know. He
will, of course, be opposed by Cameron, But
General Grant Is unlike all Presidents who
bave gone before him, and while be may pay
a decent respect to the recommendations of
Sromlnent men In the party that elected him,
e will to a large extent use bis own discretion
In the choice of his Cabinet. Josupuus.
