War Among the Alabama RepubIi-
cans.
The war of the Republican factions
of Alabama has been transferred from
that State to this city. Senator Spencer,
the champion OF ex-Collector Miller,
who arrived here last night with a
squad OF Alabama politicians. expresses
himself bitterly regarding the manner
in which he has beep treated. 1t will
be remembered that just prior to the
of the extra session OF the
Senate the President decided to remove
Dr N;lIo- G~e,., tho Mobile Collector
ship, and even went so far as TO nomi-
nate Mr.. Warner for the position, but
was persuaded to Withdraw the nomina-
ton at the earnest solicitation of Sena-
tor Spencer and to oppose Warner.
II e was made Governor OF New Mexico,
which position he refused to accept; in
fact he refused to take any position eX
cept the collectorship OF Mobile. Mr..
Spencer asserts that at this juncture the
President promised him that DR.. Miller
should not be disturbed on any account,
he (the PresidenO being satisfied that
Miller was the right man in the right
place" Learning that Warner was here
making desperate efforts to oust Miller,
and that he was backed by influential
parties in the confidence of the admins
.ration, Spencer gathered few friends
and started post haste for Washington,
to reach here in time for the
rabiuet meeting to-day, but he was
disappointed when he arrived
last night to learn that the Cabinet
meeting was held yesterday, and that
Warner was appointed Collector OF
Mobile, and that the President had
departed for Long Branch. Other
parties are here from Alabama, who
declare that the appointment of War
ner will have the effect OF crushing the
Republican party in that State, while
On the other hand Warner and his
friends maintain that they will now be
able to concentrate the Republican
forces and manage to send Mr.. Warner
back to the United States Senate.
