Heis n speclal friend of Oglesby, and a gzood officer, Ed Hill, who has been for ten years Deputy Marshal for Southiern 1llinots, is a candidate for the Marshalship, He fs a brother-in-law of Oglesby, and is also related to Logan.

Spectal Dispateh to The Tribune, ¢ ‘Wasnixeroy, D, C., March 15.—8ecretary-of- State Evarte, In an Informal converaation to-day with Lorenz Brentono, made a declaration which will be recefved with great satisfaction by the . entire German-American populstion, He stated that it would not be the policy of the State De- partment hereafter to refuse to appoint natural- {2ed-German citizens, or foreign-born citizens of - any kind as diplomaticand consular officers to the country of their birth, Buchs policy was adopted by Becretary Fish in 1873, and has given - immessurable diseatisfaction to naturalized < - citizens, The story flrst was that Bismarck, a8 Chancellor of the North German Confederation, did not want to see German-Americans sclected ns- United Btates Consuls for Germany, for the reason that many of them took an active part in the revolution of 1849, and beeausa they were often too active i CREATING DISCONTENT ' among the Germans In fatherland, and encour- aging emigration to America. This particular fact was declared by the Btate Department at the time to be untrue, but Carl Foerstor, then oneof tha cditors of the IWaechier American newspaper at Cleveland, said that he had becu refused an fappointment on that very ground. Whatever the cause, It ‘s quite certaln that Sec- | retary Flsh, whenever It was possible, avoided sendfng o German-American as’ Consul to Ger- many, and the several German-Americans who were aopointed Consuls fn Grant's adminfatra- ;Iln;, ;n‘r:clve"‘l’ thflr .ppomménmn for tlhes xg'u: hen Washburno was Secretary of e This fact occasloned g AN ARTAGONISM between the (German-American populstion and Becretary Flab, which was never ofercome.

He replied that e shoyld not follow a ?ollcy such s was edopted by Mr. Fish, but should treat all Amcrican citlzens allke, frreapective af the place of their birth, Mr. Evarts added that a different onllcy would scarcely receive the ap provul of his colleague, Carl Schurz, THE SOUTHERN POLICY.

Wasmineton, D, C, March 15.~The extra- sesslon question .wears a new look to-dsy. Becrelary Sherman is understood to have come to the conclusion that it will not be provident to get along tiil December without approprin- tious for the army, snd his opinion as tho chief iinaucial oflicer of the Government will natural- Iy havo great welght, The army officora appear to be almost unanimous in deprecating svy makeshifs policy, Of course the political con- sllerations connected with the question luve no welght with them, They do not want to bo embarrassed for wunt of funds, and sre scarcely willing to aid In devising means for tiding over a period of flve or six months without thelr regu- lar appropriations. There appears to be no doubt that the lsw authorizes contracts to be ade after the end of the present fiscal year for clothing, subsistenco, stores, forage, and trans- portation, but the contractors would layve to wait for tucir money till an sporopristion should be made, The pay of the officers and soldiers would seem st first sight to be the only thing that could not be provided for, but there are many necessities of the Quarter- master’s and Subslstenco Departments which could not be provided for by coniracts, and which require cush for immedlate use, Tha (iuelllun as to the extra sesston is not, however, devided, and will notbe until Attorney-Gencral Devens subnnite a report on tho legal points fn- volyed, and o further cousideration to thy sub- fect by tho Cybluet, Tho President is still, as lorinerly, very dealrous to avold calling Con- gress together if it can be helped in any way that is clearly lawful, and will not embarraia the operations of the anwy, At the Cupitol to. duy the prevalent oplnion among Benaturs was that s cxtra sussion was Inevitable.
