Political Gossip About the Presi- dent’s Visit to Phila- " - delphia. ‘What the Oabinet-Makers Say About Boutwell's Successor. Frank J. Herron on the Con- dition of Affairs in Louisiana. The President Interviewed by a New York Reporter, Proccedings in the Senate Yes- terday. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Trivune, THE PRESIDENT OUT OF TOWN. WasavaToN, D. 0., Merch 13.—The depart- ure of the Preaident this morning for Philadel- phia has been made the occasion of considerablo goasip here to-day. Among other things, it was rumored that ho had gone to the Quaker City to consult with leading Republicans thero, as to tho appointment of a uccessor to Seeretary Robeson, the name of which official tho samo rumor coupled with the Berlin mission. It may be authoritatively stated that the visit of the President has no political significance, but that it is entiroly of a social nature, ‘made in purstance of o promiss to prominent Re- publicans of the Union Leaguo of that city, to accept thelr hoagmflitlea eomotime during the ‘present month, and in this connection, it may be positively stafed that Secrotary Robeson will not leave the Navy Department. He said to- day, that tho only forelgn country he desired 1o visit was Now Jersey, and that he would not fi:" up his present place for any other at the isposal of the Government. THE TREASURY BENCI. Becratary Boutwell informed & _Senator to-dsy, that he had no lmowledge whatever as to who would be his successor, ana that in frequent conversation with the President on the subject, the Iatter had never intimated whom he wonl select. He admitted, howaver, that he had con- siderablereason to beliove that Judge Richardson was the coming man. The best tnformed cir- cles here assort that Judge Richardson’s sssign- mont will bo merely temporary, and that the financial head of tho Administration for the next four years will be Columbus Dolano. The Becretary expecta to take his seat in the Senata on Monday next. His credentials arrived here to-night. "Bo far a8 Judge Richardson is con- cerned, his friends claim that he will not_accapt 2 mere temporary appointment, offered through ‘mero compliment. THE OALDWELL CASE made but little progress to-day, and it now looks as if & vote would be postponed till next week. A mubetitute to e resolution re- g:rd.\n% his seat vacant was offered to- y by BSonator _Alcorn, & member of the Committeee on Priviloges and Eloctions, swhich provides simply for Caldwell's expulsion. This substitute was propared with Senator Mor- ton's consent, in order to obviate the Fechnical objections which have bean made to_tha resolu- tion &8 originally reported. This substitute will ; be to Caldwell's sdvantagoe to the extent that it will require a two-thirds vote to succeed,a result whicw is Dot anticipated in any quarter. Tho feature af to-morrow's seesion will be a spoech from Sepator Schurz, lé)pehling to the Senato to maintain its dignity aud_reputation, by exclnd- ing from membersl Sonators whoso elec- ;iu%:l‘:\m objectionable or tainted with bribery or ra POSTAL MATTERS. _ The country has beon generally misinformed in relation to Con gard to the postal laws thisseseion. 0 Faroe worth bill, rodueing-lettor postage o 2 cents, and providing for the é)mpnyment of postage on all mail matter, passed tho House, but failed in tho Senate. Thero was an amendment to the Post-Offico Appropriation bill, which repeals all existing ncts with regard to frec mail matter. his, of course, includes exchanges botweon newepapersand froe postage on papers circulated in the counties where they are published. This law takes effect on the 1st of July. BROTHER NEWMAN. The Right Rev. Dr. Newman, recently re- elected to the chaplainship of the-Bonate, pro- poses to take a trip around the world at the ‘Government's espense. To accomplish this end, the President hus tendered him the sppointment of Inspector of Consulates, & position which pays both a salary and traveling oxpenses. LOUISIANA AFFAIRS, Gen. Herron, of New Orleans, who arrived hore last night, reports that affairs in Louisiana, aro quiet, and that the Kellogg Government ig condueting its administration without matorial opposition from the McEnery faction. He de- nouhices tho press dispatches regarding: the mectings that are alleged to gmvo been held in the county parishes, at which resolutions were passod declaring allegiance to the McEnery Government, as pure fabrications, or having been related g0 aato make them appear as recent occurrences. Thbey are the proceedings of meetings held before the settlement of the contest by the Judicial anthori- tios. Ho sadmits that there was great dunger of & fearful riot, when the recent disturbances occurred, but says the civil authorities were fully prepared for it. He thinks that tho knowledge that this preparation had been mado alone prevented s repetition of the bloody scones of Juno 20, 1866, He says tho people, with rate exceptions, have submitted to the netw order of things, and, although many of them do not accopt the situation as S:e result of legal or rightful meuns, no disposition_to resort to. forcible opposition is discoverable, except among those dasses which in eve: 0 city are known 28 tarbulent rowdies. He intimates that the commreial classes and property-hold- ers have watched with a critical interest the ‘proceedings, ot only in Congress, but also the influences exeited by the Administration, and that they hate conclusion that there is no use in attenpting to resist o government which: apparextly has these tremendous infiu- ences to beck ind support them.

PRESIDENT GRANT INTERVIEWED. New Yonu, March 13.~In nu interview with a Heralil reporter at Washington, yesterday, Presi- dent Graut is reported na gaying that no changes are to tako place in the Cabinet boyond that which Bacretary Bontwell's resignation will oc- casion. Novertheless, the financial policy of the Administration will not be changed. Ho hopes to see the Ropublic’ of Spain well- established, and thinks that by the end of the year the independence of Cuba will be secured, No trouble is expected with Hayti, and tho President thinks that the Samans Bay scheme will resalt in the developmant of that conntry so that our Government will ultimately annox it for somothing like $10,000,000 or 815,000,000, The people of Utal, he says, obey the laws. He is satisfied with his Louitiana policy. Tho Indian peaco policy succeds so well that he haa the greatest faith in it. A visit to 8t. Louia will bo made when the first opportunity in his business will parmit. THE PRESIDENT AT PHILADELPIIA Poraperriua, March 18.—President Grant arrived here this afternoon.

'This evening & ban- amat wan oivan. _in his - - Tidon “Leaghe™ B¥isoy ™ b The ~* Bl Wayne DMcVeigh, at tho conclusion of which the President took tho train for Washington. The universal impression here among the knowing opes is, that notwithstand- ing the announcement that the visit was of a purely social and private nature, it means tho {g}ection of & Pennsylvanian for Secretary of the Navy. e g s SENATE—~EXTRA SESSION. EXCUSED. Mr. McCroory, at his own " request, was_ex- cused from eerving on the Committces on Pub- lic Buildings and Agriculture. THE LOUISIANA BENATORS. Mr. WEST offered a resolution to pay Ray and McMillan, respactively, applying for seats from Louisiana, compensation for the unexpirod term " ending March 4, 1673, Referred. THE REPORTERS. . Ar. ANTHONY offered o resolution, which waa referred, restricting from the reporters’ gallery those not entitled to seat therein. PETITIONS REFUSED. The Serate, by a vote of 20 to 31, decided not to receive petitions, us the present was a session for execative purposes. j CONTINGENT EXPENSES. On motion of Mr. HOWE, tho Committeo to andit and control tho contingent expenses was ordered to be continued, and authorized to sit during the recess of the Senate. THE CALDWELL CASE. The Sonate resumed the consideration of the Caldwell case. r. ALCORN, a member of the Committes on Privileges and Elections, offered a rosolation; that Alexander Caldwoll bé expelled from his seat in the Senate. He said he introduced the resolu- tion with a view of saving_time, a8 the rules ro- quired it to go over one day. But in introduc- ing it, he did not abandon the report of the Com- mittoe ou the resolution now pending, which de- clared that Afr. Caldwell was not duly and logally elected to the seat he now occupios. AMr. LOGAN said there was a desire on the part of some Senators to inflict & vital blow on the Senator before the argument is concluded. i msl Sonn; flx;iaan ) bigh & egree of puri at it wes neccessary to g{x‘mnd M.rp. Caldwell as a scoundrel and villin? No one would deny that his conduct here had been as proper as that of any other Senator. Mr. Logan furthor examuned the tes- timony, ehowing that as sgainst Caldwell it was unworthy of belief. o Inrecponse to Mr. Stewart, Mr. Logan said there w28 no testimony that Mr. Caldwell ever offered a dollar to cay man to voto for him, ex- cept hearsay statement, which was shown to be unworthy of beliéf. The charge of bribery was but & more inferenco. i IMr. ALCORN aeserted that the testimony against Caldwell was incontrovertible, and that the Senato was insulted by the sending hero of a Senstor chosen under such_influences. Ho of- fored a resolution to the effect that the Senato Das power under ti:c Constitution to reject sny Senator-elect, provided it be ehown to its satis- faction that the election is tainted with fraud, and asked that it lie over. REVISION OF THE LAWS. ) On motion of kIr, CONKLING, the Commit- tee on Rovision of the Laws was given leave to sit during vacation. CALDWELL. 3fr. BUCKINGHAX contendod that the means used by Caldwell were corrupt and against pub- lic policy, and should make his clection void. Tho payment of money to Carney, which waa sdmitted by Caldwell, was a8 much a wrong as it been directly nsed to bribe a vote. He, Buck- ingham, would vote for tho resolution because of a sense of public daty.

GALEzSBURG, T1L, March 18.—The execution of Osborn, to-morrow, at Enoxville, is the lesding topic of conversation. A grest many reporters of the press from abroad have “arrived to take a description of the scene. Large crowds are as8 ombling around the jail where Osborn is con- fined. He spendsthe greater past of his tima in prayer, and is rapidly giving way botl in'body and mind. Osborn atill declares his innocenca of the crime, and expresses much feeling for his wife in the disgrace which he will inflict npop her. There isno probability of his confessiort. : From Another Correspondent. Garespuno, 111, March 18.—Enox County is much excited in regard to the execution of Os- ‘born, which will occur to-morrow. The town Tas been filled with péople sll day, most of whom came with the expectation of seeing the prisoner tranaferred from the town calaboose to the jail at Knoxville, where the hanging will ke place. It was not, however, thought by tho_suthorities that the tranafer should be o to-day. Publio foeling among the peoplo of Yates City, where rs. Mathows was murdered, is still t00 sensi- tive. Tho prisoner has seen_ and parted with many persons, and has endured much ghostly counsel. The Baptist cl has spent most of the dsy with him, and Throo diviacs are wrestling with him to-night. He will b taken to Enoxville by tho officers before sunrise. All necessary p:l:Fmfiona have been mads at tho Knoxvillo Juil for 3 privato - execution, bot trouble is feared from the un- disciplined herds who live in tho lower end of the county. It is not expected that the Yates City men will try to do the hanging, but there is a fear they will insist upon seoing with their own eyes that full justico is meted out, and a riot may bo the result. All possible influences bave been brought to bear on Osborn to 1nduce him to confess, but so far withont suc- cess. Hehas propared statement coutaining his own defense and thoory of the crime, which e will read upon tho gallows, or whicl some one will read for him if ho falters. It will con- tain all the points made iu his bebsif by his counsel, and it is farther thought will reflect seriously upon the character of the murdered woman. A The manner of the condemned, thus far, is caurso and jocnlar, with cccasional fits of weep- ing. It is thought that his wife cannct long survive the shock of his death. POLITICAL.
