A writer in the West Chester Republican
has the following wooing words to Wayne
MacVeagh "Will you kindly allow me to
ask in your columns what Office Wayne
MacVeagh is running for =? A little while
ago some of his admirers tried to make
him United States Senator. Next some OF
the papers want him to be nominated for
governor to keep him in the Republican
clined to remain in President Arthur's
Cabinet for fear it would jeopardize his
chances for the Presidency. Don't you
think he had better come back to West.
Chester and try his chances again for Con
gross He was defeated once but that
ought not to discourage him.

Macvcagh's Pussy Opinion.

The peculiar powers Of the First Comp
troller of the Treasury are just now at.
tracing unusual attention. Attorney
General-or, as he prefers TO be called, ex-
Acknowledgement : MacVeagh's last oili-
cial act was the delivery of an opinion to
the effect that the First Comptroller is not,
under the present state of the law, the auto
crat that he has always assumed himself ia
be, and that his conscience must be bound
by that of the Secretary of the Treasury
The invariable practice, however, has been
to regard tho decision of tho First Comp
troller as final, both as to the law and tho
facts, and in the past when that official has
refused to countersign warrant or approve
an account the money has remained in the
Treasury Philadelphia Telegraph.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sut says:
President Arthur, who in all probability
is thoroughly convcsant with the devious
ways of politicians and their methods of
working up apparent public sentiment, has
been considering in the matter of receiving
applications for appointment to office, the
propriety Of breaking up the unmixed evil
of the delegation business. This custom
of delegations" waiting on the President
in the interest of rival aspirants for office
first attained to considerable proportions in
the time of Gen. Grant, and has since
steadily increased and grown until II has
become an almost insuileablc nuisance.
Gen. Grant, with his remarkable imper-
durability, stood It very we'll, although
he said just before he went out of office
that If he was to remain he would have no
more Of It.. Mr. Hayes, who let nothing
else worry him, used to express his disgust
every time after he had given audience to
IN office-sceking delegation, and the in
tense WEAKNESS and loathing which GEN.
Garfield exhibited during his brief expert
cnce in this matter cannot be forgotten b.
those who were close to him. President
Arthur Is Of such q temperament that no
most probably could stand the afiliction
nearly IL not quito as well as Gen. Grant,
and f he concludes to dispense with the
custom of promiscuous receiving of office
seeking delegations, it will be as much with
n view to the faciltation Of the public bust
ness as with reference to his own per-
sonal convenience. He said the other dry
that the Executive could derive rs much
information with regard to the fitness and
capability Of applicants for Office, and in
more satisfactory way, If everything was
put in writing. If the President should
adopt such rule as this, sound public SEN
timent would unhcsitatingly approve Of it,
1t might be hard on Maryland delegations
particularly, but it would be great relief
for the President. 1t seems to be thought
here that In n short time the march of
Maryland delegations, which the bullet of
Guiteau put u stop to, will shortly be re-
sumed, and when once begun, If the Presi-
dent docs not refuse to put up with the
infliction, the steady tramp, tramp of the
boys from the railway station to the Ex-
ccutivc residence will go ON without inter
mission.

The Confederate Bond Bubble.

The Pail Nal Gazette yesterday says
"There Is no truth whatever in the state
ment that there is a large amount of money
in the Bank Of England which was de-
posted to the credit of tho Confederate
government and is available for the pay
ment of Confederate bonds. We believe it
does not hold single penny, and doubt
whether there is any such money in any
bank in this country. The whole story is
gross fabrication, and the fitting product
of speculation that has no substantial
foundation" In Chicago n New York
firm prints an advertisement offering $3.50
per thousand for from 81 900 to Sl,000,000
Confederate bonds maturing in 1865. Con-
federato bonds are still in demand in
Augusta Ga. Large amounts were pur.
chased at from $40 to 81 per 81 900
The London Times in its financial article
yesterday morning, says; ave are able to
state that the Bank of England does not
hold penny available for the payment Of
Confederate bonds"

The Rnces Yesterday.

The races run yesterday were very fine
Us far rs exertion of speed went, but as TO
time they were not n success. Tho track
was too heavy, tina. is to say, the mud was
too deep no horse can lift its fetlock out of
nine inches Of mud at each lope and do
justice to its record or its pedigree. This
was evidenced by the fact on the books that
the best mile dash was made by Blue Lodge
and the time 1:57, which is little better
than scrub time.
Valparaiso won the mile and one-eighth
race winning unexpected. His hackers
were very much disappointed by the defeat
of Col. Spraguc. This horse, under
ordinary circumstances and with q
reasonable track, would not have been q
favorite, but being very powerful and
lusty animal 1t was presumed that on soft
track, when brute strength and endurance
shows up better than delicate swiftncss oil
motion, he was favored over those who were
backed by bcttcr records. lie was left all
the same.
The stceple-chase was tho most interest.
ing race of the day. 1t was holly contested
and won by Kenney. There was some
error in placing the flags marking the
course in this race, otherwise, il Is said
Coryster would have been the winning
horse.
The largest feature of the occasion Is said
to be the defeat in the mile dash of Ferida
by Blue Lodge. the former horse being re-
garded rs much superior to its conquerer.
The races have been postponed unit
Wednesday next, on account of the ugly
condition of the track.
