WASHINGTON NOTES.
No Political Significance.

WAsHINGToN, November 2g.--The
commission of WedeD O'Neil as Mar
shal of Kentucky, was signed o-day.
The movement of troops, so far a.
regards their concentration here, has
no political Significance. Three mem-
bers of the cabinet. including the See
retary OF War, had no knowledge that
they were coming.
william Mckee, the whisky Fraad
Convict, Is Pardoned-FuII Cabinet
Meeting.
WAsHINGroS, November 1.-THE
cabinet meeting to-day WAS attended
by all the members, and appears TO
have been an interesting session.
There was considerable talk about the
condition of affairs growing out of the
election and of the complications that
have received public attention, though
il is not known that any action was
taken by the cabinet of a character
that might be remarked OF very special
importance.
After the adjournment the mem bers
of the cabinet repaired to the Office OF
the attorney general, somew hat ia ad-
vance of Judge Taft, who remained al
the executive ma1siou in order to per-
form the necessary business attending
the pardon of Mr.. Mckee.
While it is not yet known what the
object of the conference at the depart.
ment of justice meant, 1t is safe to be.
lieve that it Ia for the purpose OF COZ.
sulting important legal authorities in
the library of that department upon
Imatters that received consideration al
the cabiist meeting.
WAsHISoToN, November l7.-Tws
members of the Cauinet are quoted "a
the effect that there was question be.
fore them Of political character upor
which to base action. No action wa,
taken or Recommendation made. The,
simply had free and somewhat ex
cited talk over the situation. Thei
opinions are much divided as 10 wha

widely prevalent distrust of the &C
tion Of this board, and that such dis
4 trust, has this foundation at least, tina
the constitution OF the board has no
been changed since its re
turns We're set aside by
a Congressional committee Of which
the Republican candidate for the Vice
i Presidency was member, and this
distrust is not unnatural, in view oi
the fact that, AS We understand, one oi
the members OF the Reiurnil Board
" a candidate voted for at the recent
election, another the holder OF an office
Of profit aud trust by appointment of
The present executive of the national
government, while all the members of
the board are believed 10 be in affili.
Sticn with but one of the parties 10
the present political contest. In view
OF alt tiiis il is hardly necessary to add
that the terms Of sur letter were not
designed to prejudice the question
whether the functions Of the Return
ing Board were Judicial or
ministerial. or both, but simply to in
vite you to see with US that what
ever may be the character of these
fnn etions they are openly. fsirly aud
honestly discharged, and while we
thus reirained from any attempt a,
stating or construing the laws of
Loulsians, we deemed it equally irrev-
aleat 10 the subject of our correspond
ence with you TO aiiude to the duties
deyoiying upon officers other than the
constituents of the Louisiana Return
ing Board, under the Constitution and
laws of tie United States, whereas
you observe, by way of illustration,
that under the Constitution the Presi-
dent of the Senate both counts and de- |
ciaTes the votes of the electors of the |
several States, his duty being purely |
ministerial, aud not subject to |
the control of Congress, or whether,
as has been the practice for |
more than eighty years--a practice
by Ahth Spttr vi W
had been AMONG the trainers of the |
votes are TO be |
counted under direction and control |
of the Senate and House OF Repi esent- |
atives, Is question upon the discus. |
sion of which We deem it no part of |
our dnty to enter.
In conclusion, permit us to say that,
your refusal to CO.
operate with Us, we still cherish the /
hope that the Returning Board, warned |
by the history of the past and con
served by the whole nation, will dis-
charge its delicate duties with such
fairness and impar> |
tiality, as will give entire satis> |
faction to the American people, |
and 10 this end we VIII continue to Ia |
bor. Should different result follow |
the action of the board, we shall have
the satisfaction OF knowing that, while
you have taken the responsibility OF
declining to act with US, we have done
all i'll our power tn avert the cunse-
quences which may follow. Very re-
