The Attorney General, having had hit
turn pacing Mr Harrison visit at Deer
Park, and having given the rumor of hit
appointment to the Supreme Court a fresh
start has returned, and Secretary Wlndom
hat gone up to talk business to tht Pies!,
dent, lie will remain several dart at hit
family are tpcnd.'ng the summer there.
The harmony among the Virginia re
publicans doc not seem to be so complete
as it did. Several of the antt-Mahone peo
ple have been here ''kicking" as hard as
ever and intimating that it will be neces
sary to give them something nice in the
shape of an oiVice in order to make them
as harmonious as Mr Brady who got a
$4.50-'.) pobiticn. It is also said that Lang,
ston, the negro who is now a contestant for
a seat In Congress from the Fourth Dis
trict, (''black belt ,")threatens to make trou
ble unless he is well taken cire of. On the
-whole the democrats here do not think
there will be much trouble in their carry
ing the state as usual.
This is a free country ,and yet every now
and then the law steps in, in some shape or
other as to give foreigners a somewhat
queer idea of freedom. One of those cases
has just been brought to light by a deci
sion of the Treasury department that a
book keeper brought from England by an
nglish firm with a branch house in New
York City must be sent back to England,
at his being brought over here under con
tract was a violation of the alien labor law.
It was Gen Grant, I believe, who said that
the quickest way to get an obnoxious law
repealed was to strictly enforce it.
W O Elain, who was editor of the Rich
mond; Virginia, Wkig, as long as General
Mahone put up the money to keep that pa
per going, has been appointed Chief of a
division in tiie Interior department.
A committee from St Joseph, Missouri,
brought Secretary Rusk a goigeous invi.
tation to attend the "New Era Exposition"
to be held in that city during a portion of
Soptember and October. As the exposi
tion is to be held in honorof the establish
ment of the department of Agriculture, the
secretary told the committee he would at
tend If possible.
All sorts of rumors are current in regard
to the startling discoveries being made by
the Commission now investigating the re
rating of pensions by the Pension oScc.
The most of these rumors are undoubted
ly based 011 the frightened talk of the Im
plicated employes of the Pension office.for
the members of the commission are not
likely to do any talking until their official
report has been handed in to Secretary
Noble. It is generally believed that there
has been a good deal of crookedness in this
business and that quite a large number of
the employes of the office have been en
gaged In it, but whether they can be pun
ished further than to be made to disgorge
the money illegally obtained it a question.
The report of the commission is anxiously
looked for here. The people want to know
whether the facts are to be shown up or
the white wash brush applied.
' John Wanamaker, merchant, does not
seem to have much influence with the of
ficials of the Treasury department, who
have just rejected an appeal that he took
from the decision of the collector of cus
toms at Philadelphia as to the rate ot duty
to be paid on certain imported merchan
dise. I
Commissiuner Ta iner now denies that
lie ever said he was opposed to the policy
of paying $2, $3 and $4 per month pen
sions,and has ordered a big pension turn
of New York arH Chicago to stop sending
out a circular which quotes a newspaper
Interview wherein tie commissioner it
made to express those sentiments. The
same thing was published here when Mr
Tanner first took office .
The Civil Service law Is getting some
very hard knocks around Washington just
now. Ex-Postmaster General Frank Wal
ton, who is now the editor of the Washing
ton Post, it leading the opposition, and the
state republican associations art doing all
they can to assist him. Ilatton charges
that the law al .vays hat been and it now
being juggled with by the appointing pow
Or. He wants the law repealed but pend
ing that he wrnild like to see It strictly en
forced. The administration Is having a lively
time with the patronage in the South.
Every appointment made raises a lot of
"k'ekers." The fight for the control of
the patronage, in Louisiana, is red hot be
tween ItCrescnlatlve-elcct Coleman and
Uerwig, the Louisiana lottery man. It is
to be settled at the convention v.iic'i is to
nominate a candidate for congress to run
In the district of the late Representative
Gay. llerwlg and Coleman both have
been candidates and the winner is to be
regarded by theadministiation asthrparty
bust In the ttate.
The papert have been signed awarding
the contract for tht construction of a coatt
defence vessel, to cost $700,000,10 the l"r

Hudson river pilots arc delighted at the
spread of electric light plants In towns
along the Hudson. The reflections from
towns and cities lighted by electricity can
be teen fully 16 miles, and the river it ra
pidly becoming a brightly illuminated
highway at night, making navigation
much eisltrr than before electric lights
came Into use.
