Spectal Dlspatch to The (hicago Trivune. % ‘WasmiNeroN, D. C., Dec. S.-Cnmptmllcré Knox believes that there will be a two-thirds majority in the Seuate for the Silver bill, as re- vorted from the Finance .Commitiee. He thinks the Senate would pass that bill over a! veto. lu this opinion one of, the most pro- nounced hard-money men in the Senate to- night concurs. He is as well qualified to judge as any man in the Semate. This Sepator says that the bill certainly will pass by fully two-thirds majority, sod that, . contrary to general opinion, when the absentees; returned, it would be seen that the bill has® even greater strength. This expreasion of opin- . ion does not refer to the Bland bill, bat to the bili reported by the Finance Committee, with the free coinage section stricken out. Mr. Knox also thinks that there will be po doubt that the President would veto such a bill. RESCMPTION.

PENDING PIGHT. Svectar Dispatch to The Chicago Trivune. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 8.—Great interest is felt to ascertain the attitude of the Demo- cratic Senators with respect to the controversy in the Senate over appointments. The Demo- crats are numerically so strong that if these act unitedly they can defeat any policy hostile to the Administration. Careful inquiries of per- sons generally well-nformed as to the Demo-" cratfc policy shows that not more than three Senators have expressed an intention of op-. posing the President’s appointments. Of these, Deanis is s member of Conklingz’s Commerce Committec. He has been opposed to any change in New York Custom-House officers, and. acted with Conkling. Eaton, of Connecticut, is classed with Dennis. The general sentiments of the Democratsisthat. they will guin by the Republican division: Itis . tnerefore their policy to support the Adminis- ., tration as against the anti-Administration facs . tion of Republicans. CONSUL-GENERAL KREISMANY will remain here some ten days before returning, « to Berlin. Some of theTllinois delezation, particutarly noted for their fondness for Gt Service methods, are disposed to oppose con: tinuing Kreismann in that position. The state- ! ‘ment published that Krelsmann’s commission has expired is an error, as the commission of a Con- * sul is not limited. o i JOUSE OFFICES. s A caucus of House Republicans hasbeen called for Monday night. It fs understood that the | purpose of the caucus is to consider proposi- ' tlons which have been made by atout a_dozen Democrats relative 1o a change in the offices of the Honse. The New England Democratic members are very much umbraged at the re- moval of the only New England rcpresentative on the clerk’s force, French, the cfficient Tally Clerk. Six Democratg, including those fromn New England, and Glover, of Missourd, bave pledged themselves to cooperate with the Re- publicans to elect a new Clerk, who shali not be an ultrs Republican. The New York delega- tion in like manaer is displcased with the Door- Kkeeper, because New York nas been unable to sccure 4 SINGLE APPOINTMENT. The Tally Clerk, Gen. Lamar, who succeeds Freneh, i5 a relative of Senator Lamar, and was Secrecary of the Confederate Senate, of which Alexander Stephens, as Vice-President of the Confederacy, was the presiding officer, and Con- federate inflicnce alone sceurcd him this place and ousted another Democratic Union soldier. ASSISTANT-SECRETARY HAWLEY. John B. Hawley, of Ruck Island, has reason to be congratalated in thesc perilous times thau he was confirmed without even reference tou committee. RETIRES. Gov. McCormick retires from the office of Assistant-Secretary of the Treasury thisafter- noon, and Mr. Hawvley enters actively upon the dntics of that office on Monday. A BAD PRECEDENT. A REBEL CLADI-BILL STEALS THROUGH THB HoTsE. Bpectal Dispateh to The Chlcagn Tribune. WasnNGTOS, D. C., Dec. 8.—The Democratic raid upon the Treasary has begun. The House ‘as voted to pay the first distinctively Southern claim, and it is a discourazing and disgraceful fact that the Republicans left the House so thorouxhly unguarded that but thircy-three votes wererecorded against the bill. Theclaim, it it is not & fraud, at least i3 one of those arising dfrecily out of the Rebellion, which the North ‘has always insisted should not be pald. Itis one of the very clafms which the Republicaos during the campaizn maintained would be paid
