CUST0M-HOUSE NOTES.
PUBLICAN CIRCLEs-THE FAC
TONS STILL FIGHTING.

| WGrm0ths Programme as Mapped Ou
by One Of His Admirers.
| After the issue Of the extra DEMOCRAT yester
day the Custom. House hibitues. as well as en-
ployes were all agog, 80 to speak, to hear tn,
latest from Washington; as they thought, and
some OF them said, the result anticipated in thu
special would surely seat Eustis, and for tina
reason they
WERE CONSIDERABLY WORRIED,
| as It would have anything but . healthy effec
upon Kellogg's chances. Some were uncharit.
able enough to charge that Patterson, Of South
Carolina, had resolved to vote with the Demo-
Gratis to save some OF his friends from . pena
| servitude and denounced him as traitor to the
| Republican party should he pursue the course
indicated.
Some of Packard's friends seemed highly
elated over the prospect, for the reason perhaps.
as one Of them stated. that lit would make il
mighty interesting for Hayes" and that seems to
be about the only solsce the faction has. since
nothing in the way Of official pap has been tend
cred to their chief.
The relationship middle has not yet been
settled to the satisfaction Of "outs" or "ns," and
neither side know just exactly where they stand
The Warmoth. Lawrence faction are securing
THE INFLUENCE
they can in the way OF petitions, in dorsements,
etc., to forward to the Senate committee and to
the Senators personally, and on the other hand
the Packard faction are doing everything they
can to oppose the confirmation Of Lawrence by
raking up and forwarding old records. The Re-
turning Board wing are anxious that matters
shall rest in status quo, as it gives them at least
q new lease of month, and for that reason are
helping both sides to gouge each other.
Some Of the anti Warmoth- Lawrence faction
have 1t that there was one OF the Louisiana con-
gressionsl delegation in the city when Lawrence's
nomination was made public here, who had not
EXPRESSED HIS CHOICE
up to that time, but who, like come of those who
wanted to be on the winning side with Hayes
when Packard fell wanted to be on the win
ming side, and who straightway made for the tel
egraph office and dashed off q dispatch, announc-
ing his Endorsement of the new candidate and
exceedingly anxious that the other factions
should not know that he did So as 1t Ia not def
nitely settled yet that that Lawrence will be the
Collector.
In connection with what the DEMOCRAT has
already said relative to the probable programme
of Warmoth, should he obtain control of the Gus
TOM House, 1t was stated yesterday by one of his
admirers that the DEMOCRATS conjectures were
correct, and that should he succeed, he would
soon
ORGANIZE A THIRD PARTY,
and, placing himself at it's head, would, with his
patronage and heads from the two parties,
make an effort to elect enough to secure ma
iorlty in the General Assembly of 1879, and, that
secured, his way to the United STATES Senate
would be secured.
Wells, it ia said, has written that he will return
from Washington this week, and Anderson will
soon follow.
Rumor has it that Henry Street. Kellogg's adj
iutant general, has been appointed rs store
keeper, but Collector King has stated for several
days that no new appointments have been made.
1t s stated also that Henry @. Dibble is On the
slate QLawrence's) for Special Deputy Collector,
vice Gen. Anderson, providing, Of course, that
Lawrence's nomination is confirmed.
