VIZ GAVE YESTERDAY, in our "News and
Gossip, the purport Of a statement. telegraphed

Hom beIe PREVIOUSLY oy washington cores
Pondsnt, concerning an interview between the
Missouri delegation, headed by Senator Schurz,
and President Grant in regard to Missouri ap-
pointments, in which il was stated that Gen
Schurz had expressed dissatisfaction with the
llst of apr ointments shown them by the Presi-
dent and asked that they be changed; and that
the President declined TO change them, saying
that he knew the people of Missouri better than
the Senator. We have the authority of Gen
Schurz for saying that the reported converse.
ton is apocryphal; that he was aware who the
appointees were some days ago, and that one
of them was gentleman who would have been
suggested by him, had his name not appeared
tee Presidents list.
