"Washington. March G. 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.
