WASHINGTON, July. lS.-A further
trimming OF the presidents order al
lows members OF the national republi-
can committee to hold their places, on
the ground that they have no func-
tioDs until the spring of 1850.
An old personal Ohio friend of the
president Informed him yesterday that
the feeling against his southern policy
is very strong in some sections, and
that the outlook is not very favorable
for q republican victory Ia October
This gentleman, aliuding To the order
forbidding officials participating in
political campaigns, says this will
have disastrous effect Unless the
better class of citizens come forward
and take hand in political contests
aud direct the campaign the control of
the party machinery will pass into
the hands OF political bummers, who
will manipulate the elections in their
own interests. IL was the opinion OF
this gentleman that the president
would see the necessity of resembling
his order regarding federal officials af-
ter the first election is held.
Statistician Dodge will leave for the
White Sulphur tomorrow, To attend
the cotton convention.
1t is stated on excellent authority
that Colonel J. T. Morphis will be ap-
pointed marshal for North Mississippi.
The department of agriculture re-
ports the Improvement in cotton, since
the June report, as just two per cent,
ranging in the states from nothing in
Arkansas to six per cent. in North and
south Carolina. The region in which
the plant is small and healthy, with
clean culture, promises the most rapid
Improvement under favoring suns.
The commissioner of internal rev.
enue is OF the opinion that there will
be no changes in collectors of that SER
vice in North Carolina within two
months. The same feeling, though
unayoYed, pervades all departments,
and removal, except for cause so pal
pable as to assure senatorial sanction,
will be exceptional. Some patriots
may be persuaded to resign in the in
terest of the Presidents policy.
Judge Harris, of Mississippi, who
has been heie some time after the
Brazilian mission, left for home under
more than seini-oflieial assurances that
no further action would be taken in
foreign missions until October.
The dispatch published in the noon
report, concerning the application of
the civil service order to members of
the national republican committee.
was based upon free conversation
between Governor Mccormick, assist
ant secretary, and the president. 1t
was a true dispatch at noon, but a
. 70 binet to-day, with Governor McCor-
mick representing the treasury, it was
determined that the rules should ap-
ply to the national committee. Cow
ernor Mccormick, with one or two
Others, will Withdraw, leaving enough
to run the machine, unless hope of
| office induces them to resign from the
| committee.
1t is said that the postponement of
further changes in the federal offices
III the south is due to differences in
the cabinet. The president is strongly
backed BY Secretary Thompson, OF the
navy, who favors allowing some of
the offices to democrats. The rest of
the cabinet, except Key, are stubborn
| ia their oppositions.
