HOMECOMING
'she Presidents West Indian policy is the excite
ment in political circles The Senator's friends in
the republican party have been advising him to
abandon his war upon the President and several OF
the most prominent OF them have warned him that
his course will meet with the disapprova OF
large majority OF the party. Sumner, however, Is
inexorable. He will have sblood, and already
ne talks OF impeachng the President. The
result OF his speech viii probably be
his removal from the craftsmanship or
the Committee on Foreign Relations. The
republican Senators argue that 1t Is alike unjust to
the administration and to the majority IN Congress
who support the administration TO nave at the head
OF the leading committee Of the Senate q senator as
hostile 20 the President as any on the democratic
side. Mr.. Sumner is not sick as he has been
represented In some Of the newspapers. He expects
to be out tomorrow. and Tuesday he will proba.
bly, make his speech in the Senate.

District Politicians After the Spoiis.
The Executive Mansion was crowded on Saturday
with visitors. The President, in addition TO busi-
interviews with the heads OF departments, also
saw ten Senator's and fifteen Representatives, all Of
whom called to discuss personal matters A delega-
ton OF citizens OF the district was also favored
with interview in regard to the appoint
ment Of Matthew G. Emery, the Mayor OF Washing
ton, as Governor OF the Territory. The President
as has already been stated in these dispatches is
perplexed as TO who should receive the appoint
ment The respective candidates are men OF inru-
ence, dividing the favors OF members OF Congress,
and, as would be presumed, the President is not
only compelled 10 listen to the claims OF the delega.

The Georgia senatorship-Blodgett Again.
On the 4th of March the term Of Mr.. Miller, one OF
the Georgia Senators recently admitted expires.
Foster Blodgett, who elected by the Legisla-
ture preceding that chosen last December, clams
the seat as Senator Miller's successor. Bodgett
holds the certificate Of Governor Bullock showing
that he elected Senator OF the United States
due form for SIX years from the 4th OF March next
The legal point is raised against his admission that
constitution OF the State Of Georgia provides
that United States Senators shall be by the
Legislature elected preceding the expiration of
the term OF their predecessors. On this
ground 1t is held that the successor of Miller
should be chosen by the Legislature elected
last December. The previous Legislature, IL
appears, passed law providing that the one just
elected should not meet until November, 1871 or
it could not elect the senator who is to take
his seat the 4Ia OF March Blodgett being already
elected it is held 10y some OF the best lawyers the
