nation for the appointment Of Stanley
Mattllews: Zone or two things ought to lv
said in relation to Stanley Matthew'S an
pontment, i'll fairness to the Administra-
ton. Which have not been said in the ,,ews-
papers. President Garfield, as all ,uen who
Know Ohio politics are aware, has no sort f,f
admiration for Matthews as 4 politician. He
has more than once autagonizetl him sharntv
on the currency question and the silver mrs
tioD, and might, it lie were man to cherish
resentments, feel agerieved at Matthew's,
pushing him aside, by the help of NIr. i1avrs
IN the Senatorial election Of 1877. But lie has
great respect for Matthews as 4 lurist ha.
Geves that lie has

WASHINGTON, D. C.. March ,19.-At the
| White Hnusc the rain seemed to have de-
pressing effect upon the of1ieeseekers. at all
! events, there were many less there than
usual, although the building was by no
| means deserted. The President, however,
I was kept well occupied during the business
hours. The duties pertaining to the Pres-
dental Office Mt present are very lstasteful
to Gen. Garfield. lie remarked to a friend
yesterday that, while he had been
fond of discussion all his life, and
took pleasure in deciding between lifferen
arguments and theories, it was not pleasant
to him to be obliged to be the arbitrator in
personal quarrels, and to decide which of
two equally good men should be appointed
Postmaster at any particular place. Work
OF this sort, however, is only just beginning
with the President, as he has made but few
nominations, and if he intends to pursue Il
general policy of change, there remain some
40,U0 PRESIDENTIAL OFFICES
to be filled directly by the appointment Of
the President himself. 4 member of the
Cabiuet to-day, speaking Of the great rush
and crush OF 0ftlceseekers. said that he had
been in office now two weeks, altd that, in
that time, he had been able to devote not

fifty millions Of people whose interests are
represented by the General Government.
Tie remainder Of his official and personal
time had been occupied by some one Of the
thousands Of men in Washington who are
seeking places.
AT THE WHITE HOUSE
there were many who could not be seen BY
the PRESIDENT, nUtWthSlald ng The co,upara-
lively small number OIL hand. One man cu,l-
tded to the dOorkeeper that he just wanted

There were present two delegations.
4 CROWD OF SMALL. Doys

AN EXTRA SESSION
THE 11Tu OF APRIL

141E 1tI11 VF AIHtL
Special Dispatch to Tx Chicago Tribune.
WASHINGTON, u. C., March Ex-senator
to-day quite generally express the opinion
that The, President has decided to conven
the next Congress in extra session, aud tia
the call for that purpose will be issued in :
few days, probably before the Adjournment
Of the present session Ut the Senate. The
l7th Of April is suggested as the day. AL
Ohin man who has had 4 conference with tht
President gives the following as his opinion
as to the prospects: II think it may be re
garded as certain that the session
will be called if the way looks pretty
clear to the prompt passage o1
a fair, judicious Funding bill, wholly freed
FROM any open or covert assault upon the
banks. The Republicans
WHO HAVE CAMPAIGNS TO MAKE NEXT FALL
are anxious to have the refund!ng question
settled. They fear that it the high rate OF
due, until they c-..l be taken up by some
will use the loss OF $4,000, 600 OF ST.. 900. 600
OF interest as their staple stump argument,
charging the Republican party with
session. and then refusing to call
Congress together to pass new one. In the
absence of any clear issue in the canvass, d
great deal might be made by hue and cry
about wasting the public money, and paying
big bonus to the bondholders who hold the
maturing high-interest securities.
THE OHIO MEN,
who will have the brunt of the first impor-
tant political fight to make in defense Of the
new Administration, are particularly inter-
