The New York Press ON Gartield's
Nomination.
NEW foIK, March a3d.-The Times
Washington spe c;a says OF the New York
nominations sent to the Senate yesterday !:
Taken with that Of a. NJ. Jones tor Mar
shal Of Northern Illinois, they have been
the subject Of much comment here to-day,
because they are supposed emphaticaIly to
mark Il difference between the attitudes OF
the two administrations towards what was
once regarded as wing Of the Republican
party, and also 10 announce, by act rs we'll
AS by word, an intention to t,c guided by
the representatives Of States in which tn.
Offices are to he, filled.
The Tines Albany special says, thai the
announcement Of the nominations sent to
the Senate l,y the President created Il great
deal Of excitement there among the friends
of Conklin. The news was received with
every demonstration Of satisfaction, aside
from any question Of the character OF the
candidates. Among the so-called lndc.
pendent>, the disappointment was keen and
outspoken. Judge Robertson expressed
himself as surprised as we'll as chagrincd j;
he had not looked for 50 complete sur
lender to the dictation Of Conklin and
feared that the many promises to men who
had helped Garfield to BE- candidate would
not be fulfilled.
The Tines continues an editorial OF, the
subject, as follows: "On the whole. little.
us there is to be said for Conklingism, it is
infinitely better than the distribution OF
patronage by syndicate Of officers jobbing
out State Senators.
Says the zr;14nc: The President has
eva<led difficulty as to the New York APP
pointments for District Attorney and
United States Marshal, by renominatng
the old incumbents. 1t is not a brilliant
solution. neither is it very bad one. Gov
ernor Woodward's career has not peen
conspicuously successful in the courts, but
then he is said to have made fine figure
on the stump in Ohio.
Says the same paper: Pearson has been
confirmed as Postmaster. lIe states that
he intended to make no new appointments.
He will promote the members of the ex-
isting staff in the post. office and each OF the
successive vacancies will be filled by pro.
motion from the rank below.

NOycs, the American minister to France,
last Monday handed President Grcvy an
autograph letter from President Hayes, in.
viting the French government and people
to send representative to the centennial
celebration at Yorktown. Moves said he
fulfilled this message with satisfaction.
Americans cherished grateful rcn,em-
brance Of the participation by France in
the establishment Of American independ.
encc. The celebration Of the common vic.
tor, would lose much Of its interest and
lustcr If the sister Republic was not repre-.
sented. President Grevy, in reply, ex.
pressed qualification and thanked the
American government for its recognition
of the part the French took in tine work OF
American independence. The French
having shared the labor, would also share
in the rejoicing. lie dwelt on the marvel.
ous development Of the United States
during the century Of independence, and
concluded BY declaring that France would
be represented at the celebration. Moves
thanked the President, and said the repre-
sentatives OF France would be the guests of
the United States government. Noyes
will send Il special invitation to Oscar dc
Lafayette and member OF his family to at.
tend the centennial.
