Butler's last epistle 10 the ex-menber Of the
High Joint Louisiana Commission was The feature
Oh comment in Custom House circles, and that,
with the removal OF Pitkins business Office and
anxious speculations as TO who would get into
the fat Offices, was about all that was talked
about.
Wells bureau was filled, as usual, during the
day with candidates, and during the morning
TONI ANDERSON WAS THERE
in his his shirt Sleeves assisting Wells in his in
terviews with the applicants. Casanave dropping
in during the afternoon to make some inquiries
about that little item OF s1100, which Wells says
was an appropriation for the Howe Committee.
The Returning Board chief seems to think that
McMillen will not secure much in the way of
Federal pap, bat others have o different idea.
Rard ia happy to think that there are only
dozen of his color that are trying to secure his
place, and. although he thinks Joubert. Jim
Lewis and Kelso are the strongest candidates. he
doesn't fear any change until October, even il it
comes then.
Pitkn feels perfectly serene now that his
hacker, Ben Butler, has got in one
UNDER M'vEIaus BELT
and declares he won't bulge until he Ia forced to
do 30 by tho President, and he don't seem to
think that the President will ins st on his being
(og) rolled out OF office TO make place for Jack
Wharton lie relies, too, upon pro ninent men,
other than Butler, to champion his use, and in
snuates TO bis friends that o dozen or more of
the Northern political leaders have even now
come to his rescue.
He doesn't seem to think that Jack Wharton
has much chance to occupy thai fine Office. as he
doesn't attach much importance to the influence
with the President Of tho Warmoth- Sheridan
faction.
JoUBERT RETURNED YESTERDAY
from Philadelphia. but did not, as was reported
during bis absence, request secure any
Quaker" influence to secure the Naval Office,
He doesn't think there will be any change in
the Naval Office at present, though, he says, II
ANYBODY gets 1t he will.
His version of the contest for the United States
Marshalship conveys the impression that the row
Will end in compromise man securing the posi-
ton, and mentions in connection herewith Al
bert Leonard, Of Caddo. As to the Pension
Office he don't think Burch,
or ANY OF THAT nK,
viii get it, and he might have added because
they conid not furnish The 1884, 4G2 security
which is required. il our reporter understood
him correctly, he was positive that Flanders
would have to step down and out from
THE SUB TREAsURYsHIP,
and he didn't know exactly who the fortunate
successor would be, though it must be somebody
who could furnish undonbted property security
to The amount Of s300,0OD, and just now there
are but few even including Packard, who could
furnish that bond.
Mr.. Joubert cav the President, being intro
drced by the Hon. r. L. Gibson, and had some
conversation with him, though the President
did not commits himself 10 any way to Mr..
Jeuberf, nor did he indicate his policy as to
future appointments in this state. In the
opinion OF Mr. Joubert, VIM. II. Hunt could be
made the United States District Attorney if he
desired the appointment, but as yet he has not
signifed desire to fill that position.
The Louisiana delegations now in Washington,
BOTH WHITE AND BLACK,
were, at the latest accounts, having gay time
in doing the city, but had not accomplished much
in the way Of influencing the President in their
behalf; nor is it expected that they will effect
any marked changes in the matter Of appoint
ments.
Kellogg will, it is said, in few days start for
Washington, where he will commence to lay the
ropes for his coming contest for seat in the
Senate, and IL what he says be true the President
desires TO see him occupy that seat. Kellogg
himself is the authority for the statement; con-
sequently it must be true.
