About ibrty members of the National Re publican Committee were present at the meeting held at the Arling ton yesterday, including the sub scriber, the member from Oregon. -yc regard it as a very high and noble position to be classed as a member of the Parliament of such a grand party as the republican narfcv of the United States of America. Two delegates, Bowen and Purvis, appeared from the District of Columbia and after some discussion Purvis admitted. The committee then proceeded to the consideration of the question of representation in the next Na tional convention, and the sub committee, having the matter in charge, submitted two reports, the majority report being as follews: The Republican National conven tion of lSSi shall consist of four delegates at large, from each state, and two delegates from each con gressional district, an additional delegate at large for each republi can senator in the then existing -or next preceding congress, and an additional district delegate for each republican representative in such congress; all to be chosen at popular conventions, in such man ner as the republicans of each state may determine; provided the deleirates from each congressional district shall be the choice of the republicans of that district in a convention held within the district for that purpose. The conventions within the states for the election of delegates to the National con vention, shall be held at least one month before the time for the meeting of the National conven tion. Notices of contests may be mven to the National committee accompanied by full printed state ments of the grounds of contest, which shall also be made public, and preference in the order of Learinjr and determining contests shall be given lv the convention according to the dates of the re ception of such notices and state ments by the National committee. Mr. Gorham presented a minor ity report embracing, substantially, rules under which delegates have heretofore been elected. Several amendments to the majority re port were read and laid on the table for further consideration, and the discussion of the two re ports developed the fact that no agreement could be reached with out a severe struggle. As many of the members believe the question of too much impor tance to be decided, except bj the full committee, Mr. Chandler dis posed of the question for the present by the following resolu tion, which was adepted: Resolv ed, That in accordance with the order of the republican national convention of 1SS0, the call for the convention of 1SS4 shall pro vide for securing to the several congressional districts the right to elect their own delegates to such convention; that the details of the methods or rules to be included in such case shall be determined at a future meeting of the cemmittee to be held within one year from this date, and that the whole sub ject be now referred to a commit tee of five, who shall make report at such meeting. In accordance with the above resolution, the chair appointed the following as said cemmittee: Messrs. Chandler, PJatt, Forbes, Martin and Filley. Mr. Chandler gave notice that he would offer the .following resolution at the next meeting of the cemmittee: Re solved, That all proxies must be residents of the state, territory or district, and no person shall cast more than one rote. After some further unimportant business, the committee adjourned "without date. i. c. I. Secretary Winilom. UDlTOniAL COKKRSl'OXDKXCK. Washington-, March 7. As it isweli-nigli certain that the rela tion in value between gold and silver is speedily to be settled bj an international agreement, to which the United States will be a party, it seems most idle for a few bigoted- and inflnmmatorv writers to go all over tln silver debate again, especial! wlien no conclu sion can be readied beyond the reiteration of individual opinions. The shafts aimed at Secretary "Wimlom in this connection have not wounded very deeply, and the journals which' sent them at him are now prodigal in the space they arc devoting to extracts from his speeches in the senate to convince their readers that they have been attacking him unjustly. Flow would it do for some of our great journals to abandon their oracular and Padsnappian habit? They would be less amusing, but more respectable. There is something so supremely ludicrous in their airy orders issued and rebukes ad ministered to Presidents, Cabinets, and congresses. As the leader of a great orchestra by a wave of his baton stops this piccolo or subdues that trombone or stirs up the big bass-drum, so some great editor fancies he can by a wave of his hand or a stroke of his pen bring the unfortunate Cabinet Minister he did not help to make to a diminuendo between which and silence nothing is, while vigorously signaling his favorites in the gov ernment, he hopes to induce from them a crescendo, ending in one long fortissimo, which the world will regard as his own performance. n. c. I. The accounts of Thomas L. .lames, late postmaster of New York city, was rendered to Sixth Auditor McGrew on the morning after Mr. .lames assumed the duties of postmaster-general. They were audited and adjusted within twent3T-four hours after their re ceipt, and found to be correct toa cent. Mr. James ceased to be postmaster on the Gth, and became postmaster-general on the 7th. So he goes, up higher now, with a clean record and no balances against him. This not only speaks woll of his integrity and business ability, but the prompt settlement is highly creditable to the auditor. Hon. J. M. McGrew, the only bureau officer now in service, and it is said the only one ever in ser vice; who has held all the grades from first class clerk to chief of the bureau. He has now been in the harness some twenty odd years, and has always been recog nized as one of the most efficient and urbane of officials. There is no doubt of his retention in his present position, unless he is call ed up higher. On the Uth of April hist Carl Sehurz, the then secretary of the interior, disbarred from practice before the department, Gen. Charles D. Giimore, of the firm of Gilmore & Co., patent and claim attorneys. General Gilmore has now commenced suit ajrainst Mr. Sehurz for $200,000 damages re suiting from this disbarment. It appears from the exhibits to be filed in this case that Gilmore & Co., at the time represented nearly fort3'-ievcn thousand claimants, over twenty-five thousand of whom were applicants for pensions, in crease of pensions, or arrears of pensions. The fees due the firm are shown to be 2,7G-ir,0SG, and this amount is claimed as damages by Gen. Gilmore. He claims that his clients have suffered in like proportion as himself, because of the fact that their business has been unnecessarily delayc-d bv his unjust debarment, without cause, and because of prejudice. This suit will be pressed to a judgment, and-ainonr the issues to be decided will be the question whether an executive officer has the right to disbar an attorne, and whether, if the right exists, one is liable in damages for its improper exercise. The question as to the liability of the government for the acts of one of the heads of an executive de partment will also be probably raised. Gen. Gilmorc claims that several hundred thousand dollars of his property has been virtually confiscated by the act of Mr. Sclmr in his official capacity as secretary of the Interior, and that there must exist a remedy some where; that the disbarment was witliout cause he proposes to es tablish in the civil suit already coinmeuced, and probably in a criminal action in the future. Maine lias exactly a dozen ex governors living. Chamberlain, tlie Morriils, Washburn, and Hamlin are the most noted; Garcelon is the most notorious.
