to the President, Secretary Evarts and
Mr.. Kasson, Minister to- Spain, who
were present during the interview.
The delegates spoke of the necessity of
the President recognizing the colored
element, and wanted some practical
evidence of his friendship fortheir PEG
pie. The President replied that
he had heard of the Committee.
and wanted to see them before
acting. They presented the name
of Colonel Lewis for Naval Officer at
New Orleans, and General Chester for
Minister to Liberia, also the names of
other coiored men for several posi-
tons. The President said that be de-
sired to give a fair share of patronage
to the people whom they represented;

disturbed. MIR. Pitkin WAS urgently
pressed for a Marshalship. Senator
Dumont presented a long petition ask
ing for Pitkin's retention, and spoke
of his good qualities as a public officer.

The memorandum of Maricoe, the
Mexican Minister, Submitted to Secre
AIRY Evarts yesterday, is in the nature
IF a protest against the recent action Of
he Cabinet, instructing the military
of the southwest To pur-
marauders into Mexican territory.
It is similar in erins To the protest
presented by him four years ago, after
he invasion OF Mexican soil by Gen.
in pursuing the k!ckapoo
Indians. He expresses the hope that
no act similar I that will hereafter be
committed, and if auy measures shall
be- deemed necessary, i'll order to n
ady the evils on the frontier which it
may be necessary to carry out on Mex
can soil, such measures will be adopt
ed and carried out by both Govern
ments jointly, since an incursion of
troops into Mexican territory,
being at variance with the
which govern nations i'll
OF peace, il may, in his country,
bring the Administration into very
conflicts and materially dis
turo the peace OF the Republic. This
last consideration would, he says,
probably be sufficient for a friendly
Government, for it will not wish to
causing such terrible evils to its
when it relies upon the good
will of the latter to secure the just
ends which it sc. ks to attain.
