AT LEAST TWO MEMBERS OP TUB CABINET bad done their best to strip the Republican party of Its powers and prestige. Tbcro was a dispo sition to resurrect some old or to form some now party. This disposition was Ilt-conccalcd Id the precincts of tho White House. When Congress met the President desired Indorse ment. Neither the Republicans nor Democrats would give It. The reorganization of thu Re publican parly was contemplated, but tho leaders determined to wait. They waited. Rec onciliation la not yet complete. Tho Cabinet Is Incongruous, and ran hardly bo said to be Republican. Everts la not personally objection able, but his party, tics aro loose, and bo baa Presidential aspirations Scburz U opposed by nearly every member of the Republican party of both Houses, not because ho Is a German, for Alfred Gallatin was not hated. He Is consid ered oa a doctrinaire. AS AN OUTLAW to the Republican party, and as one who would welcome that party's downfall. He has touched politics only to disorganize them. He has made his Department a caravansary of Smelling Com mittees. He has endeavored to exercise juris diction over tho most trßrfal matters of thu Ad ministration, and has fulled. If a resolution asking his expulsion from the Cabinet was of fered by unanimous consent, It Is doubtful if soy man of any party would object. Nothing has Injured the President with strong men of his party more than TUB INFLUENCE OF SCHUIIZ OVBU TUB ADMINIS- TRATION. The caucus met under ttmso conditions. There was no subserviency. There was a hope, but no certainty, os to tbo President's course. Tbo dealro was not to raise an Issue which might separate the party and the President more widely. It was felt that tho people would uot justify a schism If it could bo avoided without sacrificing parly principle. Tbo effort for har mony,” said this Committeeman, “will be made temperately, and In such a manner that, If It is s failure, the President will alone bo responsi ble. Thu spirit of tho caucus, and of the new Committee, is that the Republican party repre sents Issues ss broad and vital as ever; that, if President Hayes will kindly accept Ila leader ship.

The Bureau of Construction Is exceedingly important, and In times past Its Chief has sometimes wielded a greater Initueuce than the Secretary of the Nary him self. There Is avast deal of patronage In It, and many things are left to Ibo discretion of the Bureau. Easly was reported unfavorably by the Senate Naya! Committee. Do Is a Repub lican, yet the Democratic Senators will almost unanimously vote for him. while the Republic ans will generally role against him.

In consequence of this, he issued a proclamation that everything taken from citizens for armp use would be paid for. In most Instances he Issued receipts. Holders ol these receipts claim that they have never re ceived compensation. They Insist, too, that, when tho Confederates made their Northern raids, they always paid for property taken from non-combatants. They wilt, at the next session, ask Congress to pay the claims from Savannah, which aggregate over $1,000,000.
