Cabinet-meeting. Not
much of special interest. Harlan brought forward a little complication with a
Rhode Island editor, in which he was involved when chairman of the
electioneering committee in 1864. He was rather laughed down.
Dennison called for me
this A.M. to go to the President. We had over half an hour's conversation on
the graver questions before Congress, and the factious partisan intrigues that
are being carried on.
Dennison had three
or four important post-office appointments which he submitted, and said they
were recommended by Members of Congress. I asked if he knew their status on the
great questions pending. He said he had not made that inquiry. I asked if the
time had not arrived when we should know who was who, and what we were doing to
fortify or weaken ourselves and the cause of right. The President said he
thought it a duty.
