Correspondence OF the Star
WASHINGTON, May %, 1877.
Governor Young, of Ohio, has graced
the Capital with his portly presence for
several days. but left US last night. The
Governor had considerable to say about
Ohio politics. He thinks ii the Southern
people will behave themselves and show
proper appreciation of Mr.. Hayes
kindness, etc, the Northern Republi-
cans, including Ohioans, will stand right
by the Presidents policy, which the
Governor thinks is the true policy. The
Governor had little axe or two TO grind,
and we understand he carried away
nice little commission in his belt for a
Cincinnati friend, though we couldn't
quite find out who 1t was. The Gov
ernor said it was ga bit av saycrit."
The whisky men of the West have a
hard row to hoe in trying to seduce Sec
retary Sherman to let up on them. Old
Jake Rehm, of Southern Illinois, is very
anxious to have the suit pending against
him in the United States District Court
dismissed, and his friends are trying
night and day to whip Sherman in; but
the honest Secretary OF the Treasury,
like his brother (the hero OF Atlanta ],
don't bull-doZe worth a cent. Conse-
quently there is waillng and gnashing
in the Sucker State among whisky men.
Another Onioan is coming to the front.
The President wants an A No. Super
vising A chitect of the Treasury Depart
ment, and of course he naturally turns
his eyes to the Buckeye State.
4. r. Tinsley, of Columbus, is talked
of. He is the architect OF the Grand
Central Ohio Hospital for the Insane at
| columbus. And royal arch-architect
Tom Tinsley is, too. He will fill the bill
| if selected. He has the most arcnitec-
tural signature" ever saw; it beats
| the Dutch all hollow, and ought Of itself
to have made him bank cashier long
ago. Then it is proposed to appoint two
General Superintendents Of Public
Buildings-one for the East, to have
charge Of buildings to be constructed in
Eastern cities, and one with similar du-
| ties In the West. We hear the name of
MIR. Jas. w. Mclaughlin, of Cincinnati,
mentioned as capital man for the POSI-
| tion OF Western Superintendent.
Mr.. Stem, the newly commissioned
| Treasurer at your city, has filed his
bond Tor the faithful discharge OF duty
to the satisfaction of the Department.
1t is Tor the piliiul sum Of $250,00U, ana
has six signatures.
House-cleaning goes on by degrees at
the White House. They took up the
elegant Brussels carpet in the East
Room yesterday, and found that the
moths hau made sad havoc with 1T. A
iurther examination revealed the un-
pleasant fact that the little rascals had
Durrowed in the beautiful rep furniture.
Here is pretty 60. Where is Don
Platt, with his patent, doublr-actlng.
selt-contracting moth exterminator
Let him again visit the White House in
the interest ot the moth eXLerminating
process.
Shall the United States be repre-
sented at the Paris Exposition of 1878
is what is bothering the heads Of Off
cials here. Congress made no appro
priation, and the extra session is put of
until October. Secretary Eyarts sug-
gests the appointment of an American
commission, with the understanding
that the Commissioners Shall not have
any compensation unless Congress shall
raliy their appointment. The estimated
expense is supposed to be about $500 600.
rhe Cabinet will discuss The matter al
It's next meeting. 1t would De pretty
70, il by the picayune economy OF The
last Democratic Congress the Unite,
States should go unrepresented at this
great worla's exposition.
