that the reference was wholly mina:su
gary.

WASHINGTON TOPICS.
TILE DISOIitiANIZED CABINET.
Stewart is angry. He thought he had
fied matters all right when he had
made the generous and chaiitable propo
sition to retire froni business for four
years, or while he enjoyed the office, but
Grant informed him that a declinatiott
was the only thing in order. He._ the
President, had thought over the matter.
was worried and perplexed what to do.
and had arrived at the 'Conclusion that
the only way to •unravel the difficulties
by which surrounded was to appoint.an
other man .to • the place. Mr. Stewart
and his friend Judge _Hilton, who had
accompanied him to the White House for
the interview. could scarcely , reallie that
Grant meant business, and retired to
,make war on Bontwell and secure the
Treasury to some New Yorker. A strong
pressure to that end has' been brought,
but the . Massachusetts men are playing
their cards carefully and hard
ly be tricked. Mr. Wmhburne's
successor, has not vet been deter
mined upon. ' Gen. Schofield will sur
render the War Department .on Thurs
day or Friday and will probably be sue
ceededby Gezdtaitlings. - Grantlaxnucti

WASHINGTON . , D. C., March 10, 1869.
CALLERS ON THE PRESIDENT.I
A large number of visitors, including
many Senators and Representatives,
called on the President this morning.
THE DEPARTMENTS.
Secretary .Borie has actually commenc
ed. the duties 4:if his office. Vice Admi
ral 'Porter was with him at the depart
mentthe
.
greater portion of the day.
Postmaster General Cresswell and Sec
retary Cox were at their respective de
partments this morning, and received a
large number of visitors.
The State Department was literally be- •
seiged with visitonito-day. . 1 •
ATTORNEY GENERAL . SWORN IN.
Judge Hoar took the oath of office 'to
day as Attorney General, and Subse
quently, just previous to this
inadjourn
ment of the Supree'Court, Mr. Evarts
presented .him as hid successor, when.
the oath of office was administeied in
the usual form. - I
TOOK THE OAIIt OF OFFICE.
Commissioner oflnternai Reventie De
lano took the oath of office to-day, and
entered formally upon his duties.; The
retiring Commissioner, Mr. Rollins, was
to-day presented with a series of ;com
plimentary resolutions, and made it brief
but happy speech in response.
CABINET SPECULATIONS.
All the members of the Cabinet' thus
far have entered upon the performance
of their respective duties. As it:deem not
seem probable that the relations of l these
gentlemen will be changed,the preponde
rance of belief is that the Secretary'of the
Treasury will be taken from New York.
There is no certainty, however, as ;to the
locality of the members yet to be ap
pointed. No one doubts that Secretary
Washburne will very soon retire from
the Department of State. Yesterday,
after.he had received the Foreign Minis
ters, Mr. Thornton remained for the
purpose of having some conversation
with him on important business pending
between the United States and the Bri
tish Government, when Mr. Washburne
said be could not enter upon the Consid
eration of matters of moment, as he did
not expect long to remain as Secretary
of State.
CONGRESSIONAL CAUCUS,.
The Republican Senators hold a eancus.
Ablei , afternooni witb , reterenee tct what
public business shottld be - transacted
during the present session. A 'report
having been made through a fah-com
mittee for its rostriction, southern' Sena
tors insisted that their-section of: coun
try should not be ignored in the ; matter
of legislation. Among other matters re
quiring immediate attention_ were the
bills' introduced by Mr. Sumner to
prevent intimidation of voters and the
bill just introduCed by" Mr. Abbott .for
the settleMent of claims of loyal citizens.
This is substantially the bill introduced
by bim at the last session, bat I which
was not passed, and refers to the ap
pointment of a commission for-that pur
pose.. The Southern Senators also spoke
of the importance of not only prOfecting
loyal people, but by every means of
which Congress was capableof enctittiag
ing them in their efforts to recover
their tbrmer property. The ;caucus
agreed & consider the following meas
ures, but did not agree - upon the order of
business : Bill strengthening the"public
credit,which failed to receive President
Johnson's signature; the re... Organization
of 'the navy; the -Georgia case inyolving
the admiesion* of Senators; case,
Ye-distribution of national
currency giving twenty millionei to:the
t3outhatitr-West;" !the .re organization of

pointinefiriof.additional Associate "Jos ,tiees; the , bili,for.the removal of political
disabilities, and the ; bill for the enforce
ment of the XlVtlx amendment' to the
Constitution of the United States.
A" motion - to omit Georgia froin the
list, that Is not consider the politibal con
dition"of that State during the present
session, - received • only seven ; votes.
Wiltsrlf. Thayer, Ed mun ds,Carpenter and
Sumner spoke earnestly in favor oflict
mediate action on these measures: Some
Senators think, this will occupy at least
one month, and after that time the Senate
will remain some:time in Executlye ses
sion to act on appointments and treaties.
*The caucus ahlo agreed to elect Senator

Si'. Louis, March lb.—Gen. Sheridan,
accompanied ir3 Colonel Crosby, Aid-de-
Camp, arrived- here this morning, and
left for Washington this afternoon. Gen.
Sheridan considers the Indian problem
solved and the noble savage completely,
subjugated. Generals Emery, Sturgis,
Ewing and Palmer Came on the same
train. The former will shortly proceed
to Washington to take command of the
Department of Washington, to which he
was recently, assigned. The other gen
tlemen will probably go no further. If
Gen. A. J. Smith resigns the command of
the Seventh 'Cavalry, to take charge of
the St. Louis Postoffice, General Sturgis
will. probably assume command of that
regiment, he being next in rank to Smith:
Generals Myers and Barringer ' Chief
Quartermaster and , Commissary of the
Department of the Platte, who arrived
here . yesterday, came to consult Division
