Important to Government Contractors.
Washington, August 24-Judge Law
renee, FIST comptroller of the treasury,
rendered decision in which he main
tains that if contract with the govern
ment is sold by the contracting party
the contract itself is annulled, and any
party or person selling such contract
runs the risk of obtaining no pay. The
opinion is based on the ground that the
original contractor in such an event does
not perform the services, and the pur.
chaser of the contract violates the ex.
listing law.

pIr. ConkIing's Visit.

The fact that Mr.. Conkling arrived in
this city Saturday morning and passed
some hours at the mansion occupied by
the President is sure to be the subject of
much comment and trepidation on the
part of some who fondly hoped that the
longtime friendship between those gem
tlemen could not 1.-Two in the midst of the
torrent of obloQuy which was divided
between them equally last summer, but has
later been concentrated upon the former
We see in it nothing more then evidence
that for some reason, the two friends de-
sired to meet and to converse on various
subjects, 1t may be very improper con-
duct on their part to withhold from the
public an authorized report of what was
said between them. 1t would be SO in
teresting. What if the President asked
Mr.. Conkling to give him in general his
opinions as TO weighty affairs of
State? Who doubts that in such a
case the responses would be wise,
prudent, and patriotic? Who in
the United States could make more
valuable suggestions? Or it might be
that the President desired to call Mr..
Conkling to participation in the Gov
ernment. If that could only be known,
and the answer, what n world of
discussion would follow? If such q
thing had occurred and Mr.. Conk-
ling had declined, what regret would
be felt by some and what q sigh OF
relief would be heard from others? II
such thing should have occurred and
he had accepted, how readily the great
army of place-hunters who make most OF
the din and commotion in American
politics would have sworn it was the very
thing for the President to do? But alas
we know nothing of what was said, Per
haps not a word Of public affairs. They
may only have met to enjoy few hour
of friendly conversation and to renew as
surances Of the mutual confidence anC
esteem which has survived all tn,
tempests and whirlwinds which hav,
swept over the land during the past fey
months.
