AUGUSTA, Feb. 16.-A brief discussion took
place in the House on the election bill provi-
ding for the preservation of ballots Mr.. Yer
rill of Portland opposed the pending amend
ment stating that it was in the original bill and
had been rejected by the committee on the
ground that it was unconstitutional, or at
least its ,constutionality was doubtful. He
favored the bill although he did not believe
it added anything to the law, of which there
was enough already. The ballots should only
be evidence except so far as they are correct,
and then he would let them go for what they
are worth. Mr. Talbot Of East Machias thought
the bill was not called for, and believed there
was now sufficient security for the preservation
of the ballot. Mr.. Shaw of Lisbon thought
the weak point of the bill was in allowing the
ballots to remain in the hands of the town
clerks fos one year, and at his suggestion Mr..
Verrill offered an amendment to obviate this
by having the ballots returned to the Secretary
of State, and to be kept by him for one year
after the election. At Talbot's instance the
bill was recommitted when it will be amended

The Chattanooga Times, upon
the authority of Mr.. L. L. Sample,
who has recently returned from
Washington, gives the following
opinions as to the Federal appoint
ments in East Tennessee:
There is good prospect that D.
G. Thornburg, of New Market,
Tenn, will be appointed United
States Marshal for the Eastern Dis
trict of Tennessee, Uicc S. P. Evans,
whose term expires to-day. Mr.
Evans is not an applicant for reap
pointment, and is urging the claims
Of Mr.. Thornburg. The latter is 81
capable man for the position, and
will make a trustworthy and eff
cient officer.
James Maynard, son of Horace
Maynard, is making an effort to get
the appointment of Pension Agent,
Uice DR. Boynton, but will probably
fail, as some of his own friends are
opposing change. 1t is probable
that Woodcock, Internal Revenue
Collector for this district, will not
be retained. A strong fight is being
made for the Knoxville post-ofice !;
Capt. Rule will probably be reap
pointed he is being opposed by the
Houk faction. Gen. Wilder will be
retained as Postmaster at Chatta-
nooga, if he desires it. Stark Mills,
agent of the Cincinnati Southern
railway at Spring City, will be APP
pointed Postmaster of that town,
Uice Mr.. r. X Holloway. w. r.
Lad has been appointed Postmaster
at South Pittsburg, rice James Bean.
There will be many removals in the
minor postOfices in this district,
Democrats being replaced by Re
publicans.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

EXTRA SESSION AGITATIoN-sEEATE
oRGANIzATIoN-RTDD FOR
SERGEANT -ARMS-THK HAND OF
STANLEY MATTHEWS
PROSPECTS.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March IS.
To the Editor of The Morristewn Gazette:
The interest at this political cen
ter will probably be kept up till far
into the summer. The lower house,
it is now thought by many, will be
convened in extra session before the
middle of May. Interviews with a
number of leading men of both po-
litical parties develops the fact that
there is a wide difference of opinion
touching the probability of call for
an extra session of Congress, but the
right of opinion is on the side of
the extra session. Stalwart Repub-
icans generally think that it should
be called, and Democrats believe
that their opponents will improve
their opportunity. The date gen.
orally fixed upon for the extra SEES
sion is May LIST, though there are
many who favor a later date, and
think about the 18th of the same
month would suit all concerned bet
ter, and give ample time for the pas
sage of a funding bill, and the trans
action of all necessary business be-
fore the sultry days of the summer
solstice.
Quite a crowd was present to wit
ness the organization of the Senate
to-day, although no election for off
GERS of the body will take place I'M
til next Monday. Ex-Secretary Cor
ham is thus far the. only candidate
spoken of for his old position. For
Sergeant-at-Arms, Col. A. II. Rid
dlebarger, of Woodstock, in the
Shenandoah Valley, at present a
State Senator of Virginia will prob
ably be chosen. For Chief Clerk,
Mr.. Johnson, of Minnesota, who was
for eight years Secretary of the Sen
ate in that State, is mentioned. Jas.
R. Young, Of Philadelphia, will I'M
doubtedly assume his old place as
Financial Clerk. To-day the COM
mittees only will be organized
There has been no caucus held yet
to nominate officers.
The heads of Department are still
kept very busy with an immense
throng of ofice-seekers, and, in case
an extra session shall be called, this
throng will be increased. So far
but few changes in minor offices
have been made, but changes are
inevitable Places must be made
for the friends of the Cabinet, and
many an official head will bite the
dust.
A determined effort is being made
to defeat the confirmation of Stanley
Matthews for Associate Justice of |
the Supreme Court, by representa-
tives of the Seventh Judicial Circuit, |
who claim that that circuit, which |
has been represented on the Su-
preme bench since the retirement of |
Judge David Davis, is entitled to
recognition. A number of gentle
men have been mentioned for the
place, but probably all will be dis
for the position now
seems to be to confirm all Of the |
sent in and adjourn as
soon as possible. Judge Matthews |
friends are, however, not inclined to
AXE this for granted, but are using
all Of their powers of persuasion to |
MS support the Senators who in the
asst session are known to have OPP
posed Matthews confirmation.

The following statement will be found in teresting: The amount Of beef used at the San Carlos Indian Agency annually is $500 900 lbs The Colorado Agency uses 300, 900 lbs. By request of Colonel Tiffany the De- partment specify in their contracts that all of the cattle furnished shall be raised in this Territory. It insures better beef too. as when they are driven long distance they get foOtsore, thin and feverizh- No bulls or stags are received, while one-fourth of the whole number may be COWS. The object in taking SD many COWS Is, We presume, to give them ID lieu of rations to such of the Indians as desire tO raise stock. Quite large num- Der of them have good herds now. 1000, 900 lbs Of four ale used at San Carlos. all of which must be grown in places contiguous tothe places 0i delivery. lt must be straight, full stock, of good sound wheat, and each sixty pounds of wheat must be ground down to forty-three pounds of four 5,000 pounds of tobacco are used at San Carlos, all of which is of fine quality and put up in two oz. sacks. T. takes 5000 pounds of medium quality, granulatet sugar, to sweetsn the Apaches Il will De seen by the foregoing that Col tiffany, the San Carlos Indian Agent, has made such recommendations to the Department at Washington as must be of great advantage to our cattle men and farmers, and he Is entitled to great credit for 1t.
