From the members of the Cabinet ; down to the disappointed applicants for official crumbs, everybody to-day seemed to be indulging in political speculations.

His information from the; South is that the Republicans will gain ' Congress men at " the coming election, and in cases where Republicans are not elect- j ed Democrats of a stnpe more ac ceptable to the administration than those now in Congress will be sent. He is sure that the Hayes leaven is working in the South, and anticipates good fruits in due lime.
