From the Capital.

THE postmaster-general issued an order
raising the following fourth class post,
Offices, to the grade of presidential offices,
| from and after the LIST of January next,
with increased salaries as stated; Muir
pheysboro, ILL.,, $1,000; Sullivan, ILL.,,
81 100; Piedmeet, w. Va, Sl.10O; Quir
nessee, Mich, 81, 800.
AN intimate friend of the president
elect says that Senator Blaine came to
Washington at the special request of Gen.
| Garfield, for confidential conference.
They breakfasted together at the latter's
house. There is little doubt that at this
interview Gen. Garfield rendered to Sen
ator Blaine first the position of secretary Of
state, and second that of secretary of the
treasury, both of which Mr.. Blaine de-
clined.
In the United States supreme court, on
the 4th inst, Mrs. Belva A Lockwood
made an argument in the case of Kaiser
vs.. The Freedmans bank. the question
in issue being upon note given by the
appellant, who is married woman, to Sc
cure a deed of trust for $4,000. Mrs.
Lockwood is the only female lawyer ever
admitted to practice in the United States
ksupreme court, and this was her first APP
pearance in the argument before that trib-
unal. She spoke for twenty minutes, and
commanded the earnest attention of the
! court.
| Mr. PETROFF, the census enumeration
who was sent last May to take the census
of Alaska, returned on the 4th inst. He
visited all portions ofthe territory that he
could reach. He reports a population of
q, 600 persons of which number $4,000 are
Indians, 1900 Alutes, and 1900 Creoles.
The Creoles are persons of mixed Russian
and Alute blood. There were 12S white
males and four white females. The en-
umeration Of the inhabitants of that part
of the territory which is south of Mount
Elias, a narrow strip of land ten leagues
in width, was to have been made by a
deputy from Sitka, but his report has not
been received. From what is known of
this portion it is estimated that the entire
population of the territory is about 10000;
of which number not more than 800 are
whites
IT is said, authoritatively that Levi F.
Morton, of New York, will no longer con-
sent to the use of his name in connection
with the secretaryship of the treasury
under General Garfield, and he has gone
back to New York to enter upon a canvass
for the senatorship. Under section 243 OF
the revised statutes, Mr.. Morton is in
eligible to appointment as secretary of the
treasury on account of his dealing in gov
eminent and state securities. He is a
member of banking house in London
and New York. The following is the pro
hibitory clause in the section alluded to:
| SECrIoN 243. No person appointed to
the Office of secretary of the treasury, or
first comptroller, or first auditor, or treas
urer, or register, shall directly or indirect

public property, or be concerned in the
