THE NLw YORK APPOINTMENTS In
executive session of the Senate yesterday
afternoon Stanley Matthews asked why the
New York appointments had net been re-
Iorled from the committee on commerce for
col firmation. Mr. Conkling replied that he
hoped the honorable gentleman from Ohio
would permit them to remain with the COM
nittee until an opportunity for their consid-
Grafton arose. He added, inimically, that
there was no necessity for undue haste, mas
much as The officers who now he Id the offices
were competent and experienced gentlemen.
ard that little delay would not antagoaize
tie public interests. Senator Coukling con
ferred with all the members of the com mites
this morning and Ii was decided not TO hold a
meeting before next week.
THE BANKING AND CURRENCY COMMIT
TEE this morning did not agree upon the
silver bin, as was expected. There was SO
much wIanglIng in the committee over the
reptai OF The resumption bill that the entire
Two hours were consumed in the discussion
OF that subject. Some of the western mem
ters who have been anxious for the repeal
have discovered that the Ewing repeal bill
absolutely abolishes free banking. This is
really the purpose of Ewing, who wishes TO
substitute greenbacks for national bank
inffationists are friends of the national bank
ing system. 1t seems possible, therefore, a.
The very outset that the inf ltionists are la
hle to be split into separate factions upon
this issue.
AN Injustice was dore Senator Ransom
in the statement that, in anticipation of Mr..
MoTton's death he had spoken for his seat on
he floor OF the Senate. 1t is the custom OF
Senators to apply for seats they think may
become vacant, and TO put down their names
ior the same sometimes two years Ia adj
vance. During the last session of the Forty
iourth Congress, Senator Ransom pleasantly
informed Senator Morton that he should
epply for his seat, as he expected that the
INDIANA Senator would be beaten in the next
senatorial election. Owing to the i'll health
OF MI. Morton at that time, Senator Ransom,
with characteristic delicacy, asked Mr.. Bas-
sett 70 reserve the choice OF the seat for hun,
put not to put down his name on the list.
since the unexpected severity OF Mr.. Nor
Morton's illness, within the past few days,
several other Senators applied for the seat,
and as no name was on the list, to prevent
any one from securing the seat which Sena-
tor Ransom had applied for last winter, his
name was put down for the same few days

making the footiDgs of the bill, this morn

needed was S26 500, 600. This is one million
dollars more than the democrats are dis, ed
TO allow the army. The dem ocratic mrm.
bers OF the comm ttee met alone excluding
the republicans, 10 consider some plan To re-
duce Ibis aggregate. There seems TO be
marked hostility to the staff of the army

THE Houston -dge learns from
a gentleman who has just re-
turned from New Orleans that
times are harder than ever
known Thousands OF men he
says are walking about the
streets doing nothing and are
willing to work for their board.
He had been North for a year
and reports more suffering and
bordering on starvation than
ever heard of before. As bad
as are times in Texas he says
this is now the most prosperous
State and people in the Union,
and that those who suppose our
