THE nomination of Stratham, Re-

of Wilson, a Republican, who has opposed
Malone, is taken as indicating that Presi-

ton, in accordance, it is understood, with
the clearly expressed wish of the President
and Postmaster General. He at the same
time furnished the press with a statement
declaring his innocence of any completely,
directly or indirectly, in the Star-route
frauds. He says his suppressed re-
port was read by both President
Garfield and Postmaster General James,
who concurred in the opinion it had
better not be male public; that it had been
kept from the files of the Department by
Keys order, and was private paper. Post

MI Mr.: Logan said that during the special ses-

dent that could be found, and called attention
10 the fact that at that time all the old officers
had been reelected, except one who had been
Mr.. Farley inquired of Mr.. Logan II he could
hDd any precedent where the dominant party
had refused to 60 into executive session TO con.
firm or act upon nominations made by its own

White House Callers To-day.
WEATHER LOGIC OF OFFICE SEEKERS.


There were very few people at the White
House to-day. The snow storm may have kept
some away this morning Usually, however,
the worse the weather the larger the number
OF visitors. They seem to think that the bad
weather viii keep others away and they Will
have the better chance of seeing the President.
Secretaries Window and Blaine were the only
two members OF the cabinet who called. They
came separately. Among those who saw the
President were Senators Dawes, Ingalls,, Slater
Walker and Sawyer, and Representatives VAL

Redemption of Maturing Bonds.

FH1s' "11'UoI 0 iNIENIIVNSs
From an examination of the various laws fn
reference to the national loans. it is believed
that there is sufficient authority under existing
law to enable the Treasury department. With
the available cash now on hand. to provide foI
at least three hundred millions of the maturing
bonds, without using the one hundred and five
millions still unissued OF the funding bonds
autnorIzed Dy the act of 1870. Under acts passed
tary OF the Treasury to accept deposits as
temporary loan from persons or banking asso-
cations to an amount not exceeding $3.50, 600 000
per annum. 1t Is believed that now that an
extra session OF Congress has been practically
decided against, the Secretary OF the Treasury
Will endeaVor to borrow money temporarily
under these acts to the full amount authorizes.
at 3 Or 81 Per cent per annum, and that the
amount thus borrowed Will be applied to the

SURGEON IN THE L. 8. NAVY TAKES TEN
GRAINS OF MORPHINE.
A most saddening sensation was created OF
Thursday last at the fremont House. 2i aad
Indiana avenue, by the attempted suicide of
DR.. Z. S. Matthews, q surgeon In the L. S.
navy, ranking as commodore, who, whilst SUI
fering under temporary alteration of mind,
Occasioned by the TOO free use OF strong drink
took ten grains OF morphine, and narrowly
escaped death 1t appears that the unfortuu ate
gentleman, who Is a man OF polished education,
marked refinement and recognized ability In
his profession, had become addicted to the use
OF opium. which led TO Indulgence in liquor as
wen, to degree which threatened to produce
disastrous results. short time SINCE 1t Is
stated, he was suspended from duty. and re-
duced to half pay. which 1nfiictIon produced a
rived In this ctty.-his place OF resld5nce-and
took up his quarters at the fremont House.
It was noticed that he was drinking
heavily, and that he was also sui
which was altogether unnatural to the man.
on Wednesday night last he evidenced symp-
tens .of insanity, but retired TO bed at a late
MoIntng. It was then noticed that he seemed
entirely free from liquor, but was laboring un-
DER great nervous excitement. at noon he en-
tered the diningroorn, took seat at one of the
tables, and attempted to partake Of food. he
had been at the table but few minutes, how
ever, when he was seen TO suddenly grow pale,
and fell headlong from his chair, apparently
DEAD. physician was hastily summoned, who
pronounced IL case OF poisoning. EmeticS
and other remedies were administered, The
unfortunate man continued In state of coma
up 10 yesterday morning, when he rallied from
the effects OF the drug, and was removed by
some OF his friends TO Providence Hospital He
Is supposed to be out OF danger, but is terribly
Frustrated by the fearful ordeal through which
he passed. The drug was obtained at a drug
store Dear the hotel, as was discovered on a
prescription written by DR.. Matthews himself.
Some surprise is expressed that such quan-
tity Of a deadly poison shonld have been sold to
man who was so plainly In state OF great
nervous prostradon as was DR.. M. when iC was
obtained.

The Raid of the Office Seekers,

SUNK UF Thk PkGULiAhITlES OF THE CROWD.
The office seekers complain that The Presiden.
moves exasperat1ngly slow In the matter OF
making changes In the various federal offices,
and as result they are compelled to hang
around Washington, pay heavy hotel bills and
In the end have no assurances that they will
get chance at government pap. 1t iS noted
that the raid upon the President to make
changes in some OF the more important offices
ts nearly as great as though there had been
change in the administration In q political
sense. 1t Is amusing, too, to note the grounds
upon which the Off1ce-hunters demand recOg-
milton. One applicant will urge preferment
because he was allied With the forces which
opposed Gen. Grants nomination at Chicago,
and another will found his claim on tue fact
that he was Grant man but accepted the Sit
uation.
For the offices vacated by designations, the
seekers are legion. There has been vacant
since the 4th of March, district attOrneyshlp
for the state Of Kentucky. For this place
there are dozen applicants, and each train
brings an additional one. From the manner
In which the candidates press their claims, one
would imagine ''Old Ka1ntuck" to be the ban
ner republican state. 1t seems strange too
that Tennessee and Lousflha should be repre-
sented here, next In point OF number with
Office seekers, but such Is the fact,
While the President doubtless contemplRtes
making number OF changes, they will be m ade
1E such gradual way that no shock Will be
felt Hence those VINO now stumble over the
White use6pitJoOnS In their eagerne5s TO get
at the Presidential ear would fare probably as
Wen II they remained at home and ceased to
narasa the good nature Of the President.
