WAsHINdroN, Monday, Dec. q. 1874.


This city is barren of news as il is drearv from
the recent snow storm. The only thing ef iaterest
can communicate is, that John C. Calhoun will
tender his resignation to Mr.. Polk as soon as the
latter is fairly seated in the Presidential chair. and
if called to renew his duties as Secretary, will ac
cept. The same course will probably be pursued
by all the officers of the cabinets but SO far as Mr..
Calhoun in concerned, you may rely upon this as
correct.
