Ex-Governor WarmOth, of Louisiana. at
the request of the President, has submitted
to him statement Of his views as to the
proper method Of AL justment of the difficult
ties in Louisiana. of this, the Washington
correspondent gives the following as the
main points: Under the Constitution
Of Louisiana, the Legislature is made the
sole Judge Of the qualifications of its own
members. 1t is grayely doubted by the best
LAWYERS in Louisiana Of both parties whether
the Returning Board, which is specifically
invested with jurisdiction over tie Electoral
vote, has authority to pass upon the creden-
tials Of members of the Legislature. The
Warmoth plan admits the right of the Re
turning Board to do this as to unrontrsted
seats, but not "A TO the seats in contest
WarmOth proposes that the members of both
branches OF the Legislature whose seats are
uncontestcd shall meet and pass upon the
three contested places, irrespective of the
action Of the Returning Board. That then
the two houses shall meet in Joint conven-
ton, canvass the returns, count and declare
the vote for Governor
On this arrangement, irrespective of the
contested seats, the Senate would be about
twenty Democrats TO sixteen Republicans,
and the House fhy-~ix Republicans to forty
eight Democrats, with an approximate Re
publican majority OF II on point ballot. Ot
these II there are more than more than
enough to turn the Observation-Disclosures

Washington Notes.

President Hayes is reported as beginning
to gel tired of the ofice-begging of Congress
men. A Western Senator called at the
White House, and expressed hope that an
ex-Representatiye from his State might be
appointed Commissioner Of Agriculture.
YES" replied the President, Il know him;
he came here on the day of my Inaugural
ton. lie has been here every day since,
and not day has passed that he has not
sent half-dOzen of his old Congressional
associates, more or less: to urge his appoint
ment. That he understands begging for an
office is very certain, but | begin to doubt
whether he can be good for anything else. "
The Senator said nothing more.
An incident connected with the appoint
ment of the Marshal of the Northern Dis
trict of Illinois is mentioned. as showing
that the Hayes administration will not be
one of nepotism. Mr.. Stillwell, of Living
ton county, was one of the candidates for
this Office. lie was admitted to private
audience with the President, and presented
his papers. The President looked them all
through, and then said: I" Your papers are
unexceptionable. There is nothing in your
record which does not seem to show that you
are fully qualified for the position; but there
is one in.uperable objection to your appoint
ment to any Federal Office, that is, that your
wife is favOrite cousin of Mrs. Hayes "
Stillwell left, convinced that the fact which
many thought would insure his appointment
had rendered his defeat inevitable
The Boston Herald says: 1t will be
remembered that we published a re-
port Of an interview between President
Hayes and Alessrs. Blaine, Hamlin and
Hale, of Maine, in which the Maine gentle
men spoke of Governor Rice, Senator Ed
mund,, John NJ Forbes and several others
rather disparagirgly. Some Of the organs
have denied that any such interview ever
took place. Our correspondent says that
the report in question WIS as faithful an one
as could be made of conversation with one
OF the three Maine gentlemen referred to
above, and that they talked freely about the
interview to others.

POLITICAL.

The Republicans carried New Hampshire
on Tuesday, by larger majority than that
at the Presidential election, last Fall. 1t
was then 5000. 1t is now likely to reach
$500. This looks like an endorsement OF
the decision of the Electoral commission and
of President IIayes's course so far. The
Republican majority in the house also Is
double that Of last year.
Gov. Robinson, of New York, nominated
Gen George B. Mcclellan for Superlntend-
ent Of Public Works and it has created 4
great stir in the Democratic camp.
There appears to be some friction among
the Maine politicians. Congressman Frye
who has been supposed to he great friend
of Mr.. Blaine, in a published letter to a
friend. claims that he first suggested to the
President the propricty OF appointing MI
Morrill, to the Portland CO.lectorshlp, while
Mr.. Blaine and the rest of the Maine dele
cation wanted Mr. Marble TO have the
placc. And now Mr.. Reed, the Representa-
tive Of the Portland district, prints letter
in which he says he requested Mr.. Morrill,
