Observation-Disclosures of Leading
tioVerBment Officers.

WASHINGTON, D. c., September a.
Now that it is definitely known that
Senator Williams will not return to the
Senate, it Isl said that the President will
tender him the position Of Solicitor Gen
eral Of the United States. This office,
with salary of $1,000 year, was created
during the last session of Congress, but
has never been filled.
A very formidable effort is being made
to have the President revoke the appoint
ment of Vice Admiral Rowan, numerous
charges having been made against him,
which tend to show that his promotion
was not within the spirit of the law. If
the President fails to recognize the
charges, they will be made to the Senate
with view TO Rowan's rejection.
A letter was received here to-day from
Judge Orth saying that there is no truth
in the report that he was rendered the
English mission. .gsg..i q d.
A report eomes from Georgia that At
torney General Akerman is in very poor

THE FRENCH PASSENGERS By THE La
FAYETTE.
NEW YORK, September 22.-DevslOp-
ments in the case of the detention of the
one hundred and twenty passengers who
were TO have sailed in the steamer Lafay-
cite, for France, Tuesday, presents very
singular state of affairs. The French res
identsOf New York are highly indignant
at the action Of the governments officers.
The passengers who we're taken from the
steamer were discharged on the dock
without examination and their baggage
was carried of by the Lafayette. They are
said to be without means and free passes
have been offered them for the next
steamer, which will not leave, however,
until October. -
Yesterday, NJ. ConderU, attorney for the
French consul, called on Commissioner
Belts. Marshal Sharpe and the District
Attorney, but all of them refused to take
any action in the matter, and so the case
stands.

that he can do nothing whatever in the
name Of this government TO relieve the
suffering of the German residents who

appoitment prevails in official circles
at Berlin in consequences of this decision
Of the American government.

TATING.
NKw YORK, September "a special
from Berlin to the Herald says:
The Republicans of Germany continue
the agitation in favor of the annexation
of Alsace and Lorraine with increased
determination, in all their journals and
all public gatherings, and into the mill
tsry and executive circles of Germany,
caused by the success of the Prussi an
arms; and has led them to demand, with
out reflection Of consequences, thst AL
SAGE, Lorraine, Metz, Toul and YerdIln,
be given up by the French and annexed
to Germany.
They also urge, with equal disregard to
diplomatic consequences, the Prussian Oc-
cupstion of Luxemburg, the giving of
French Flanders to Belgium, Savoy to
SWltZ9riAnd, ana Nice and corsica 10
Italy. They will not consent in any way
TO the Interference of neutrsls.
Another psrty oppose this Wholesale
dismemberment OF France, but ask that
sufficient guarantees be given Germany
against the future aggression of France.
They indicate that this guarantee should
take the shape of the incorporation oi
Alssce and Lorraine, and the destruction
of the forts Of Metz and StrssbOurg.
