How to Sustain Government Credit

How TO Sustain Government Credit"
Mr.. EDITOR: Your leading editorial
Of the oath inst, under the caption
of " Hon 10 Sustain Government Credit

notice, containing, as it seems to me,
several plausible errors, which have

only the thought engendered by a news
paper article.

FROM WASHINGTON THIS AFTERNOON.
ESPECIAL DEePATCHEs TO EVENING TELEGRAPH. I
WASHINGTON, March q.
The PhiladeIphiR Offices,


The contest over the Federal offices in your
city still continues. Considerable wire pull
ing" is going on between the friends of Senator
Cameron and the Democrats, towards dividing
the 'spoils" between the two parties. The sue
cess Of this combination, however, is doubtful.
II is said that Cameron will favor the confirma-
tion of a Democrat for Collector of the Port, II
he can get Mr.. John Hiestand, radical Republi-
car, nominated for Naval officer.
No action has been taken upon the nominal
tions of Messrs. Crawford and Frazier, and 1t is
said they are laid up till Senator Cameron is
ready to act upon them. Senator Fessenden
favors the latter's confirmation, and Mr.. Fra
zier will no doubt be confirmed as he is the
least Objectionable.
The Republicans in the Fourth District of
your city are trying to make q compromise
with the Democrats. by giving them Thomas
McGrath, Democrat (of the firm of Sarmiento
& Grath), for Collector, and the Republicans to
have Mr.. Henry M. Lewis for Assessor, who
was formerly chief clerk under ex-Assessor
Southworth Of that district.
MIR. Lewis is here urging mis- claims.
The Rejection of George SandersOn.
The reported confirmation of Mr.. George San
derson. ex-Mayor OF Lancaster and editor of
Buchanan's home organ, was a mistake. His
reported confirmation in the papers yesterday
naturally caused some surprise, and IL was a
blunder made by the Associated Press here mix
ing the rejections with the combinations.
