New ork, Dec. 7. The Tribunes Washington special says: John B. Haskea, of New York, John Hickman, of Pennsylvania, and John F. Reynolds, all prominent Democrats, have recently arrived in Washington. Haskeu ha3 been mounding President Johnson on the Presidential ques tion, and at a meeting at Mr. Black's to-night for the purpose of comparing note-, the chauces of JohQson, Seymour, Pendleton and others, were severally discussed, but none of them were accepted. The clique, to-night, will probably nominate Geo. Hancock for the next Presid&cy, and pledg"? theai-clves to his support. No one cuild be agreed upon for Vice President. Hasken and Hoffman were sp Ken of, but Hancock being a Pennsylvania mm, the West, it is suggested, would claim the Vice Presidency. Ilaskeus was promised the next Gubernatorial nomination in New Y.ir'k, should Hoffman be the candidate for Vice President, and either Sauford K. Church, Horatio Seymour or Samuel Tilden is to succeed Gov. Morgan in the Senate. Prominent gentlemen called to-day on General ll iwlings, chief of Grant's staff, to learn whether the recent order o!' General Hancock revoking General Mower s appointment met with General Grant's approval, and to elicit any information on the subject in possession of the Department. General llawlings stated that, when General Hancock took command, he received special instructions from General Grant in regard to military matters in Louisiana, but whether they covered Goneral Hancock's recent actiou or not he could not tell lie presumed the facts would te de veloped in a few days, as the subject bad been brought prominently before the Acting Secretary ot War and the President by persons who opposed General Hancock s administration. The Tribune, to-day, says Mr Greelev has neither publicly nor pri vately presumed to censure or distrust the Alabama Convention. He has written to several Southern friends, urging the Constitutions now beinc framed tor their respective States to be made broadly, generously Republican. He may have written to Senator Wilson, suggesting action in accordance with his well known and oft-repcated programme of Re construction, out he has never as turned that the Alabama or any other Convention needed to be restrained nor complained that it was bringing odium on the ilepublican party. The monument on Plymouth Rock has been completed. The last stone was placed upon the structure, Saturday, when the ashes of some pilgrim lathers were deposited in it. BUFFALO.
