The report is revived to-day that General Cowan, Assistant Secretary of the Intertor, will resign before the reassembling of Congress, and that he will be suc- coeded by E, W. Barber, Third Assistant Postmaster General, This will in return revive the stories of dis- agreentent between the President and Sccretary Bris- tow, for it was understood at the time of tho appoint- ment of Secretary Chandler to the Interior Department that the removal of Genera! Cowan would be the signal for General Bristow's resignation: The gossip-mongera who have been asserting so positively all along the ex- istence of bad feeling. between General Grant and Sec- retary Bristow, are delighted at the fresh circulation of the rumor about General Cowan’s removal to make place for Mr. Barber, and the story of disagreement in the Cabinet will doubtless get a new lease of life.

The democrats were willing to believe the third term conspiracy capable of using the most nefarious means to forward its designs, but the repub- licans were more or less incredulous as to the extent and influence of the organization, So far as ascertained no lodge of the Order of the American Union has yet’ been instituted in Washington, but there are four lodges now in existence of a fraternity known as the Brotherhood of the Union, not to speak of one lodge of the Order of United American Mechan_ ies and three lodges of Independent Mechanics. Within a year tho American Protestant Association has been revived and one lodge instituted under the title of Washington No. 1, A third term society has been agitated, and the lead- ing manin the movement was the famous Colonel Mosby, the moss trooper of the rebellion, but tts pro- gress has not been conspicuous of late.

MORRISON ON THE FINANCIAL QUESTION, ‘There is still some grumbling about the committees, some Northern men complaining that the Southern States monopolize the greater number of places on the list, while others say that New England democrats ave not much encouragement from the Speaker to work for the party. It is asserted aiso to-day that Mr, Morrison, the chairman of Ways and Means, 60 far from being a bard money man, favors the extinction of the national banks and the replacing of national bank notes by greenbacks. The majority of the committee, however, is undoubtedly hard money andthe Committee on Banking and Currency Is of the same mind, Mr. Morrison’s appointment excites gon- eral remark. He is not a ready debater, and it is prob- able that the management on the floor will be left by him to Mr. Wood, who would thus become practically the leader of the House, having Mr. Blaine on the same committee as his opponent on the republican side, REMOVALS AND APPOINTMENTS BY THE CLERK OF THE HOUSE. z The following {s the list of removals and appointments thus far made by the Clerk of the House of Representa- tives:—Greon Adams, of Kentucky, chief clerk, in place of Clinton Lloyd; J.
