Brown, Lunt and Harper, the Louisiana
delegation who are here in the interest OF ex-
Collector Smith, had an interview to-day
with the President, and urged that the name
OF McMilen be withdrawn and Miles be sub
stituted for postmaster. They advanced va
rious reasons why the administration should
provide for Smith. The President listened
very kindly to all they had to say, and then
told them very frankly that he could not
comply with their request, and added that
Smith had not been removed from the Gus
tom-House for pol tical reasons, but in conse-
Quence OF the mismanagement of his office.
Messrs. Dumont and Murrell, who are
laboring in the interest of Badger, McMillen
and Wharton, afterwards saw the President
and received the assurance that under no cir
cumstances would the name of either Badger
or McMillen be withdrawn. These parties
subsequently, had interviews with Senators
Howe, Conkling, Matthews and Kellogg. and
other Republicans, relative to the contirma-
tion OF Badger ami McMillen and are salts
fled that there will be no serious opposition
nor unreasonable delay.

of pension agent at New Orleans, and Mr..
Dumont will be appointed to the position.
Mr.. Murrell Is to receive the appointment OF
surveyor general OF Louisiana. Antoine is to
be provided for, but in what way has not
been decided upon.
