Hayes friends conclusively reply that
no such thing would be secretly at
tempted by any honorable man like
| Kew, but that even if attempted it
| would inevitably be discovered and
prevented by HAYES for the manifest
| reasons, if there were no others. that he
has announced as a fundamental policy
of his Administration that no person
holding office shall he disturbed for
merely partisan or personal motives.
HAYES friends also reply to some 9th
er criticism on his Cabinet appoint
ments by citing Lincoln's appointment
| of Stanton as Secretary of War while
stanton was still a Democrat; and by
referring to Washington's appoint
menl of Hamilton as Secretary Of the
Treasury, and Jefferson's choice OF
Gallatin for the same position, as in.
stances where foreigners like Schur2
were given places in the presidential
Cabinets, the former being a native OF
the West Indies and the latter oil
Switzerland.
Much interest is manifested by West
ern people a. to what will be the In
dian policy OF The new Administration,
bpt the prevalent belief is that there
will be no important change from
Grants peace policy, either in gen
eral or in detail.
The nomination of Soloman as Reg
lister of the Humboldt Land Office re-
manned without action at the close OF
| the late session merely through mad
vertent delay of the Committee, and
Sargent will secure its renewal. SAr.
gent, shortly before the adjournment,
procured the appointment and CON
iirmalion of Psairner Cywood, of Cal
~ifornia. as Second Lieutenant of the
Twelfth Infantry. Among other mi
nor matters which finally got through
Congress in the closing hours of The
session were S%argent's bill granting
Louis Rose, of San Diego, a Govern
ment qui claim title for for his wharf
property, and Dawes bill removing
the political disabilities of ex Con-
gresham Scott, of California.

position of the President on that mat
ter. The interview was perfectly free
and the subject dealt with on both
sides with entire candor as to the
length of time that will elapse before

A Ti1bune's Washington special says:
1t is reported that one of the earliest
acts OF Hayes administration will be
to change some of the important Fed.
eral officers in Louisiana. Several OF
these are negroes who can neither read
nor write. Even the important posi-
ton of Naval Officer at New Orleans is
held by a negro whose accounts come
upto the auditing officers of the Treas
ury signed by ''his mark" This per-
son is VIGOROUSLY unable to read OF
write, and is reported to divide the
large emoluments of his Office with
outside persons.
A New York Worlds Washington
special says: 1t is again asserted in
Republican circles to night that Cham
berlain is to resign the Governorshir
and he provided elsewhere. If this Is
true, it will solve tile South Carolina
difficulty.

ocrats who voted against Key an(
Evarts in Executive session. EatOi

dollars to Hayes during the campaign
