WASHINGTON, May 19.-The White House
was thronged with visitors this morning,
though few were so fortunate as to reach the
President with their papers. Several Senator's
called and found the President busy in prepara-
tion of his final list of nominations to be sent
to the Senate. Among those which there is
good authority to believe will be sent in is that
of ex-Representative Geo. B. Loring, of Massa
chusetts, to be commissioner of agriculture,
the resignation of Commissioner LIE Due hav-
ing been accepted by the President, and Col. J.

On April 4, several days before Secretary
Blaine's letter, accepting the resignation, had
reached Mr.. Fish, the secretary having receiv-

remain in the diplomatic service, offered him
the mission to Denmark, which is
of the same grade as Switzerland.
Blaine made the offer by cable
in these words: "Would it be agreeable for
you to 60 to Denmark? Fish answered the
the same day by cable as follows "No, thank

New YORK, May 19.-The following letter
from ex-President Grant to Senator Jones, of
Nevada, is published here:
CITY Of MEXICO April o. My Dear Sena-
tor: | see by the latest dispatches received
here from the capital of our country, that the
deadlock in organizing the Senate is not yet
broken, and that nothing has been done by the
President to allay the bitterness which must
be engendered by his most recent appoint
ments. When the first batch of nominations
for New York Twas was sent sent ~
President had determined to recognize
the Republican party, without affectation; but
his nomination of to-day convinces me that
tn first act was but a squirt of a
DEEP LAID SCHEME
by somebody to punish prominent leaders for
being openly friendly TO me. cannot believe
that Gen. Garfield is the author of this policy.
| gave him credit for being too big man to
descend to such means for the punishment of
men who gave him hearty support in his
election, and who are disposed to give him the
same support now, for the offense of having
had former preference for some one else for the
office which he now holds. But Garfield Is
President, and is responsible for all the acts of
the administration. Conkling and Platt are cho-
sen Senators from the great State of New York,
and that, too, against the administration,
created by the same party that elected them.
This should give them all the stronger claim
to be consulted in the matter of appointments
in their State. When it came to filling the
most influential office in their State without
consulting these Senator's, it was great mis-
take. When he selects the
MOST OFFENSIVE MAN
TO be found, it becomes an insult, and ought
to he resented to the bitter end. sincerely
hope the President will see this and correct
his mistake himself, and restore harmony to
the party. He owes this to himself and to
those without whom he could not have been
elected. Nobody believes that he could have
carried the State of New York without the
active support of her Senator's. Their
passive support would not have answered.
With out the State of New York, Gen. Gar
field would not now be President. His re-
warding Robertson is not only offensive to
the New York Senator's, but it is offensive to
New York Republicans. The change of Ba-
dean and Cramer, the two appointments in
which | feel strong personal interest, was
very distasteful TO me. The first, because of
our personal relations, and my wish that he
should be kept where he is. The office would
support him until he finished some work he is
engaged upon, and which he conld do with
out interfering with his public duties. The
second, because it was at the expense of re-
moving a son of my old Secretary of State,
who probably never had superior, certainly
not for moral worth, in that department. 1t
is true Fish resigned, but he did this from a
true sense of honor, supposing it to be the
duty of representatives abroad to give new
administration an opportunity of saying
whether they were wanted or not. Very truly
yours, I. S. GRANT.

IN THE DARK.
An Albany dispatch to the Telegram says
One thing is evident Conkling has certainly
left his friends utterly in igorance of his desire
or purpose. The stalwart leaders here had no
notice that the designations were to be made
| and have no intimations from the eX-Senators
since. There is no man in Albany authorized
to say they are candidates for reelection and
no effort is in progress to
secure that result. Up to
the present there is certainly every Indication
they do not propose to ask a return. A
prominent stalwart official said to-day he was
well convinced both Senators had no eXpecta-
ton or wish to be returned. Stalwart leaders
while conceding that at present it does not ap-
pear the eX-Senators could be elected, assert
their ability to fill the vacancies with two
stalwarts, and they mention Gen. Grant, Con-
gresham Richard Cowley, Gov Cornell,
Judge Fo!ger, Congressman E. G. Lapham
and Gen. Sharpe as possible candidates It is
conceded about forty names, the estimates
| varying from thirty-fve to forty-five, have
/ been obtained to the
| ADMINISTRATION PLEDGE
which binds the signers to vote for admins
tration men for the vacancies. At the same
time the stalwarts argue that if ey-Senators
Conkling and Platt, and Vice President Arthur
and the State administration should appear on
the ground and enter actively into the cam
paign, the pledges would go for little, and the
situation would change. The want of some
defensive plan, however, is serving to sap
their strength and they appreciate this fact.
The administration forces are extremely secret
but at the same time admit they are not yet
ready to claim sufficient strength to control a
caucus. Hustled, of the Assembly caucus CON-
mittee, Woodburn, McCarty, Rockwell and
| Foster, of the Senate caucus committee, op-
pose a caucus, inasmuch as twenty seven Re-
publicans Joining the fifty-four Democrats
can produce deadlock. Such state of af-
| fairs seems inevitable.

less the Democrats go with the other side; but

strongly in favor of going into the election as
soon as possible, and say that COnkling is ont

The Democrats are opposed to an election,

The Elmira Gazette tells a little
story concerning an innocent young
lady who had for friend one Sam
Harrison. The young lady and
some other girls were talking of
their disliaes. One said she liked
the smell of tobacco so much :
another said the same, and the
whole crowd echoed the sentiment.
Then Sans girl said: "Yes, the
smell of fresh smoke is delightful,
but [ don't like the taste of it when
it's stale"

does, all the time. and it gets into

this time the girls had recovered
and looked at each other, and the
speaker began to blush, and the
pressure was only relieved by some
one asking if the church fair was an
assured success.
