WASHINGTON , April 1. A specia correspondent of a New York papo ; sends the following : "The report which makes Secretary Folgor a candidate for governor of Now York sets politicians to wondering what is coming next. " This talk revives the story current at the time of his appointment pointmont that it was in order to keep a desk for Conkling. This report , however , does not obtain ROToral ; credence. The gossip is that Folger f has been already sounded and found inclined to regard the project favora bly in case of an assurance of nom ination , with the approval of both faction ? . Those who know hiiu say it has long been his ambition to be governor , nnd it is said hero Cornell can exile himself in any ono of the several courts of Europe , if ho indi cat03 any desire in that direction to Arthur. THE OHINESE BILL. The probabilities regarding the Chinese bill is the principal topio of discussion here. There are all shades of opinions ; those in the best position to know insist that the bill will be signed. The Pacific coast members , while they hold out stoutly that this will bo the case , are really much ex orcised over the matter and watch every movement with great anxiety. They admit that the cabinet is against the bill , but insist that the president will sign it. Attorney General Brew- ster is said to bo at work on a docu ment relative to the bill ; if so , it may bo inferred that the document is a veto , for Mr. Brewstor is reported as personally and officially ad verso to ibo bill. bill.There There will bo no cabinet nomina tions until the Chinese bill is disposed of. The cabinet is equally divided on the qvestion , Itis ascertained to-day that Attorney General Browster's opinion is to bo presented at the special meeting to-morrow ; it will state clear ly that the bill is a direct abrogation of the treaty , and that the president will express the opinion that the treaty should bo modified , if at all , in a less summary manner. It in positive the president will not sign the bill , and it is thought to depend on the cabinet conference whether ho vetoes or al lows it to become a law without his signature. The California delegation still behevo it will bo signed. Any etlort to have the bill amended would bo bitterly opposed in the house , if such effort bo possible. THE POTOMAC FLITS. There scorns good ground to fear that notwithstanding the benefit of last summer's ' experience , the Potomac flats are to remain unimproved for the present , so much time is being taken up in congress providing for the Mis sissippi flood and its consequences , and yet the river delegations are annoyed - noyod by the failure of the bill to send a commission to the scene of the floods , and fears for the inadequacy of congressional treatment are enter tained. The District commissioners aecm to have neglected the flats too long , and it is now thought the ses sion is too far spent for the proper re sults , Meanwhile the river channel is becoming narrower and the scope of the work is increasing. THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT. Work on the Washington menu' mont will bo resumed this week. Enough stone and iron \vork is now on the ground to occupy * ho force till July 1st. 8TUIL. HOUNDS. Mr. Rounds arrived to-night and is conGdont of his confirmation ns gov ernment printer. He says his legal disqualifications of being a typo foun der is overcome by making the foun dry a joint stock concern. MISCELLANEOUS A special cabinet meeting will beheld held on Monday for final action on the Chinese bill. The postoffice at Broadway , Va. , will bo abolished , because the resi dents , not liking the politics of the postmaster , took their mail to the train instead of the postoflice , and as his salary depends upon the cancelled stamps , their treatment soon reduced the salary to nothing. Frelinghuysen has a cablegram from Lowell that out of deference to the request a respite of a fortnight has boon granted Lamson to give him time to furnish evidence from here on the question of insanity , but It is no feared from this that final commuta lion will follow.
