WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

WAsBINGToS, December a, 1872.
The President received large crowd
OF callers to-day.
The House was in Committee OF the
Whole to-day, for debate. Mr.. Snapp
(Illinoisl made speech denouncing the
civil service system. E
John G. Nicolay, of Illinois, Presi-
dent Lincoln's private secretary, has
been chosen by the Judges of the SD
preme Court as Marshal, in place Of
Parsons, resigned.
Dispatches were received at the War
Department to-day from General En-
ory, commanding the United States
forces at New Orleans, saying that on
demand being made for the surrender
of the arsenal and dispersion of armed
forces, the arsenal was promptly turned
over to the State athorities, and every
thing is now quiet.
A dispatch from Nantes reports the
river Loire overfiowed and the adjacent
country flooded. Gusys, tower, and
Quarleas of Nantes entirely, present.
ing a fearful spectacle. The Custom
house and all business houses in the
flooded section are closed. Great destruc-
tionof property sapprehended. The rail-
road is covered with water and travel is
Interrupted. es
By direction OF the President, the
Board to Retire Disabled Officers, which
convened in Philadelphia on May 23d,
is dissolved, and the Board to Retire
Disabled Officers is ordered to convene
in New York 3n the twentieth instant
The following Is detail for the Board !:
General Hancock, Rufus Ingalls,, Assist
ant Quartermaster-Ge General; Colonel
George w. Getty, Third Artillery Sur
geons John NJ. Cuyler and John Moore.
Attorney General Ogden, eof Louisi-
ana, appeared before Attorney General
Williams yesterday, in the interest
of the Warmoth faction in written
argument, and asked if the government
would suspend further action in Louisi-
ana until thoroughly c0nversant with
the circumstances. AttOrney-General
Williams courteously but firmly in
formed Ogden that all further argument
would be useless, that the President had
had made up his mind to sustain the
United States Courts, and that it was
not likely he would change his opinion.
The President has received by tele-
zens' Committee of New Orleans, setting
forth their grievances. This memorial
was soon after given to the Attorney
General Information that the commit
tee viii start for Washington, probably
to-day, was also received, but, Judging
from what was said this morning by the
Attorney General, their mission will be
futile, as the government will infiexibly
support Pinchbaek. The Department Of
Justice has closely investigated the facts,
and is satisfied with the course of the
administration. General Emory last
night telegraphed to the President that
danger of a collision existed between the
police aud the militia, and asked for in-
struetiOns He was instructed, In effect,
not to take sides with either party, but
to be In readiness to preserve the peace,
and to interfere only for that purpose.

Dealers and RfbeFa

NASHVILLE, December 1.-THE Ten
nessee Code prohibits the sale of spiritu-
Gus liquors on Sunday. Under this law
many Nashville beer-sellers have been
indicted and fined by the Criminal Court
of this county. A test case, Weitmul-
Ter us. State, was argued on appeal in the
Supreme Court several days ago, by
John Rhum and John Lawrence, OF
Nashville, for plaintiffs, and Attorney
General Heiskel for the State. The court,
Judge Nicholson, rendered decision
to-day, stating there is a difference be-
tween spirituous and femented liquors,
and declaring that the statute did not
prohibit the sale of wine and beer, they
being fermented liquors. This decision
gives great satisfaction to the German
citizens. - -

CONCERNING sCHUYLER.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The press gossipers have started him
again. We refer to Mr.. COlfax. They
now say that he is to edit the New York
Tribune. When, soon after Mr.. Colfax's
first farewell to the public, it was buile-
tined that he would proceed to Chicago
and assume the Presidency of the Pat
ent Self-adjusting Pad-attachment Cor
set Company, we saw nothing unusual
in the circumstance. and did not give il
a second thought Mr. COlfax had been
long IN political life, and having played
out, what more natural than that he
should desire 10 embark in another line
of business?p 1t was more remarkable,
however, that the corresponds IT or a
New York Journal should soon after give
Schuyler a new nOtOriety as the canvass
ing agent Of a gigantic stock corporation
for the manufacture of an excelsior
stem-winding washboard. Soon the cor
respondents got Mr.. COlfaX fairly outside
of the Senate Chamber into the practical
stir of business pursuits, and the number
and variety of the occupations they
have put him to is perfectly bewildeTing.
According TO the gentlemen Of the gull,
Mr.. COlfax, within thirty-six hours of
the fourth of March next, will assume
the financial and personal control of a
thoroughbred stock horse Of pFOpagative
tendencies, headquarters at South Bend,
sell prize candy with Dan Rice's circus,
edit the Chicago Inter Ocean and all the
other papers, 60 into the wholesale
manufacfure Of automatic lung-test-
eFs, take the control Of an estab-
lishment for making cologne water
for the Arizona Indians, give his
name and grin for a controlling inter-
est in the rubber-tipped manure fork
company, be drummer for the silent but
industrious blood pill, canvass for sub
scTibers for the great moral tale, "The
Libertines Last Leap, or the Serofnlous
Maiden sell tooth-paste ia the park,
90 into partnership with the immortal
j. N, and assume" half the pres
sure, . be end man in the San Francisco
MinstTels, financial secretary % the
patent piniOn hernetically sealed hustle,
chaplain and governess to the seamless
night-shirt corporation, paying teller to
the anti-dandruf scalp-scrapeT, and oc-
cupy the chair Of theology in the
spring bottom, cow-peTsuading milk
stool association.
The slightly clashing efforts Of the
gentlemen Of the press to permanently

thrown a mystery about the immediate
future of our Niee-President which is
very confusing. We can hardly believe
that he viii do ali OF these things, and
yet we must conclude that he viii, or
else 20 back on our beloved profession.
At any rate these statements Of the cor
respondents are a compliment 70 the
versatility and practical ability Of Mr..
COlfax. For instance, how can we eulO-
gize too highly the manifold genius OF
man who can edit the New York tfi-
batne, and, with equal ability and ease
canvass the merits Of steIn-Windlng
washboard? Success to Schuyler in
whatever he undertakes.
