The President and Ex-senator War.
ner.
1t is understood that the President
is displeased at the conduct Of ex-senator
Warner in declining the Governorship
of New Mexico, and that Mr.. Warner
feels especially hurt because Of his fai!-
nre to receive appointment Of Collector
of Customs at Mobile. In order to make
a place for Mr.. Warner, the President
transferred Minister Partridge from
Venezuela to Rio Janeiro, and Governor
Pile from New Mexico to Venezuela,
thus paving the price OF two foreign mis-
sions to provide place for Mr.. Warner,
which lie declined. There is quite a
scramble for the vacant Governorship.
Among the aspirants is a gentleman
from New York, a friend OF Senator
Conkling, and Ex-Governor Miller, Of
Minnesota, who is now residing at Santa
Fe. The appointment will, doubtless,
be accorded to Alabama in lien OF the
Governoship Of Utah, and the Secretary
ship of New Mexico, which positions
were once filled from that State, but
which were subsequently given to ap-
pointments from elsewhere.
The most prominent candidate from
Alabama is General D. f. Coon, OF
Selma.
