From all that could be learned from those
who conversed with him yesterday, 1t is evil
dent that, with Butler and one or two more,
they have induced the President to consent TO
stay In proceedings In any further appoint
ments for the present the President even per-
hitting ptkin to remain in undisturbed pos

resignation

intimidated the President trhe by refusing
to comply with the request, and Just about
that time Ben Butler paid his respects to
President Hayes, with another influential t?)
parsonage, and told him that Pitkin had in
times gone by stumped sixteen States for the
Republican party, and more than that, he had
been first and foremost in the last campaign
in this State, beginning that campaign year
before the election; and further, that he did
nearly all of the work in the country (mean-
ing the organization Of the councils Of free
dom) and for these and divers other reasons
he, the President, had better not remove
Pitkin.
HAYES TOOK THE HINT.
as he did not care to incur Buffers dis
pleasure and Gen Wharton's chances were
for the time being dashed to the ground, but
not until some OF those kho had interested
themselves in Pitkfn's behalf, Packard's
think Of against Gen. Wharton and had sent
it TO Washington, where it was laid before the
President OF course Gen. Wharton has not
been idle ell this time, and being somewhat
conservative In his ideas when matters OF
right are concerned, he at once advised his
friends of what was going on and they are
now arranging matters to give Pitkin
A NEW DEAL
which may not set 50 well before the hand is
played out. Kellogg, of course, is banking
on PitkinS continuance in Office. rs he fears
that with Wharton in possession 1t might not
tiers connected with his Custom House man
agement were brought to light.
As far as can be learned, tho Returning
Board influence don't caro- much about Pit
kns retention, one at least having expressed
much better suit the native Republicans than
Pitkin, and that may, with other influence,
have some. weight at Washington, though
there Is just now no possibility of a change
for some weeks
THE PENSION OFFICE,
that sweet little morsel that pays about s1O,-
900 year in greenbacks, has just now three
prominent Republicans fishing for it, to say
nothing of q few dozen lesser lights. The
chief Modocs in the war are Dibble, Burch
and an attorney named Hutchinson,
Dibble's support lies in Warmoth, Geo. A.
Sheridan, a certain prominent Missouri Re-
publican and the fact that he isa one-legged
soldier of the Federal army, and in docuInen-
tary pleadings he lays great stress upon the
last named support.
Bureh's principal support is his color and
what he claims to be a following OF cOlored
citizens, and the fact that he Was Hayes
elector, but says nothing
ABOUT BOUNTY JUMPING,
which has been referred to from another
source. Hutchinson, whose application is on
file at Washington, has support In the fact
that he is personal friend of Hayes, and the
triangular contest goes on between the three,
with the chances in favor of Burch being left
out of the race altogether.
The attack on the President for the position
of Naval Officer is now made by Nash, Kelso,
Joubert and dozen or two others, with no
prospects of a change for some time.
The United States Marshal has telegram.
announcing the arrival at Lake Charles Of
tho two companies OF troops, and from the
tenor of the dispatch it Is inferred that the
Dix conveyed them to their destination with
out difficulty at the bar.
that the Marshal's keepers would not act un-
less unless permitted to do so by the citizens.
The Singer is acknowledged by ali to be the
