to preach. The examination and the ser.

WASHINGTON, April A-When Hayes went
to make out the nomination for Collector Of
the Port OF New Orleans this morning he
was in the midst of series of lightning
changes Of mind, and when he came to fill In
the name he happened to be for Smith, OF
course 1t Is regarded here as the worst and
weakest OF the four names between which he
has been hesitatmg for some time, to wit:
Packard, Leonard, Anderson and Smith. It
Is understood that the principal influence in
Smiths favor was that of Wells, who
preferred him next to Anderson; and
said that if Hayes was determined
not to appoint Anderson, he would
be satisfied with Smith. AS to his
prospects OF confirmation, of course nothing
definite can be learned, but in my judgment
Smith hasn't ghost of chance to get
through. l saw Eustis few minutes ago,
and asked what he thought about the chances
Of confirmation. He said that he hadn't
thought about 1t. He did not know what rea-
sons might exist either for or against con-
firmation. 1 then asked him how the nom-
ination was generally received by the Sena-
tors, to which he replied that it was received
with the general inquiry of who the h-ll is
Smith ?" m
Kellogg expresses surprlse at Hayes sud-
den return to Smith after definitely abandon
ing him yesterday, and says he can't account
for it, except on the theory OF Wells influence
mentioned above. Kellogg does not think
Smith will be confirmed. Packard leaves for
home tonight
The Florida confessions create considera-
BILE stir here. They have been in hand for
some time and the original intention was not
to use them until during the debate on the
Blair bill, but the apathy Of the Judiciary
Committee and the House generally on the
subject rendered it necessary to bring out
something new.
These confessions, however, form but
small part Of the general train of evidence to
which 1 referred in my dispatches last week.
and which will be spread on the record as
soon as the Blair bill is reported. 1t is possi-
BILE that the original intention of reserving the
main evidence to use In debate will be modi-
fed 80 as to include it in the report of the Ju-
dietary Committee. There need be no doubt
that the case will be re-opened. Bill Chand-
Ter is quietly working In accord with our peo-
pie, and Conkling Blaine and Zach Chandler
are not discouraging the proceedings any.

OF the officers and most Of the SOL

the horses, the Kalmuck faces of the Co.'S
sacks, and the general uncleanliness and un-
tidiness. The Russian soldier has good
qualities. The best Of them are his amena-
bility to discipline, his imperturbability 9n-
der the vicissitudes of war, and his loyalty
to the Gar aud his faith. His worst are his
love OF vadki and his filthy habits. In my
intercourse with the Russian officers I have
not perceived any expectation on their part OF
soon leaving the neighborhood OF COnstan-
tinople. The impress ion, on the contrary,
seems to be that they will eventually be
obliged to enter and occupy it, and to possess
themselves of the fortified points on both the

THE C0NkLsNG INTERVIEW.
It Encourages the President to Begin n
War ON the Senator from New Yerk.

WAsH1NaToN, April 21.-Hayes intends to
take advantage Of the destruction Of Conk-
ling's influence In the Senate by sending In
new nominations for the New York offices
this week. Ex-senator Fenton will be nomi-
mated for collector in place of Arthur and
pl obably old John A. Dix In place OF Conk-
lings man Cornell. The nominations will
probably be decided on In the Cabinet on
Tuesday and perhaps sent in on that day.
Conking's capacity to annoy or defeat Hayes
is completely destroyed by the pubfca-
ton OF tho Interview In the World. The
Senator's whom he abused were gen
orally hostile to him before, but had
no palpable excuse for opposing him. Now
they are anxious to hit him return blow
The effect OF the publication is Of course OF
great help to the administration. Conkling
was the nucleus OF the anti Hayes clique ID
the Senate, and the effect of the interview has
been to separate him from most of his fellow
Senator's and destroy his influence. Even
Blaine, who pretends to have made up with
Conkling, is overjoyed at this publication, and
thinks 1t will put an end to CoDkling's pre-
tentions. He will not now oppose the Presi-
dents nominations. Conkling continues to
declare that he will not make any explana-
tion OF the interview in the Senate, but he
may be compelled to do so, as there is every
prospect now that his promise to the Demo-
Gratis which he did not carry out, to vote
against giving the electoral vote of Louisiana
to Hayes, may be exposed.

How the Russian Soldiers Are Enjoying

CoNsTANTINoPLE, March 2O.-Although the
Russians have not entered ConstantiLople in
armed array, they come and go between the
city and San Stefano unchallenged, and in
the most free-and-easy manner Hundreds
Of them in demi-pniform may be seen daily
promenading the streets. Passes are asked
to traverse the Turkish lines, but there is no
restriction on the movement by the steamers
that run between Constantinople and San
Stefano. The addition of such a large num-
Der OF souls to the population of the environs,
as is occasioned by the Russian occupation
from the Sec, OF Marmora to the Black
Sea, has had the effect to augment
the price OF meat and breadstuffs very
seriously A chicken which, prior to the
coming of the Russians, cost seven piastres,
Isl now sold for forty piastres. Vegetables
have quintupled in price; fruits all go to San
StefanO, and bread has not only tripled in
price, but of late it has become positively
scarce. The best of everything goes to the
Russian camp at San Stefano, for there are
ready purchasers and plenty Of cash. Pera

Proposed Changes in Business Methods.
IN. Y. Bulletin1

The Eastern Journals, more particularly
those In the interest of the boot and
shoe manufacturers, we notice, are strenu-
ously advocating three reforms in the method
OF doing business the coming season: First,
q shortening Of terms Of credit; second, that
the practice OF dating bills ahead be dlscon-
tinued; third, that drummers should not
be sent West so early and in such large num-
bers." We are told, with regard to Che first
OF these, as summarized by the Boston Jour
nal Of Commerce, the feeling in it's favor is so
strong and SO widespread that It will un-
doubtedly culminate In a trade meeting at the
Exchange in which some concerted action
will be taken; AS to the practice OF dating
large houses avow their Intention Of refusing
tosubmit to 1t the coming season, even IL their
refusal necessitates giving up business.

Requests a Consultation with

On Wednesday morning the DEMOCRAT
contained information that ship from the
yellow fever zone had arrived outside the
South Pass awaiting orders and with yellow
fever on board, and that she had been COM
municated with from the shore by towboat.
This having been investigated by the Board
of FL ealth, its president resolved at once to
put stop to such communication, IL it were
in his power 50 to do, and to obtain the views
Of the various towboat managers upon the
subject. He on yesterday addressed to them
the following letter;

New Orleans. April d. 1878.
To the Members of the Towboat Association of
Gentlemen-I am desirous of comforting with
representatives OF your as ociation in regard to

:: That from the first OF May to the first of No.

The section of the law referred to exempts
from all restrictions tOwboatS plying between
the city and the Quarantine grounds, but Is
explicit in its provisions referring to those
which go beyond the quarantine ground or to
the mouth OF the river.
1t is frequently the case that some Of these
boats go some distance outside to board the
ships in order to secure their towage up, and
instances are reported where passengers have
been taken off which is contrary to law, as is
shown by the following extract from section
19 Of the act alluded to.
SEC. 49,. Be 1t further enacted, etc, That the
captain of any tOwboat or 81 steamboat who shall
receive on board Of his boat freight, goods or
passengers from a vessel liable to Inspection or

falaya river shall be tried by the District Court
OF the parish Of st. Mary.
Other provisions of the act give the Board
OF Health power to make the necessary regu-
lations to govern the Outside boarding" and
it is with a view, doubtless, of securing such
action as will guard against the introduction
OF any contagious disease and at the same
time protect, as far as possible the interests
OF the towboats, that the consultation is re-
queSted by DR.. Chopin.
