william Il. Chandler.

The rumors from Washington indicate
that Hon. William E Chambers nomination as
Solicitor General gives such umbragc to Attorney
General MacVeagh that the latter gentleman con-
templates reSigning his seat in the Cabinet in
MI Chandler is confirmed. 1t is to be hoped this
will not prevent Mt. Chambers confirmation and
President Garfield certainly need not be greatly
dismayed if Mr.. MaeVeagh should carry out his
threat of retirement. There would be an easy and
very generally acceptable way out of the difficulty
by the appointment of Mr.. Chandler to the Attor-
Generalship, and the tender Of the subordinate
post to some other well qualified gentleman. Mr.
Chandler would certainly be in all respects equally
and in some respects better fitted for the post of
Attorney General than Mr.. MacVeagh. As a law
yer his reputation is high among lawyers, and
deservedly So Naturally a keen, penetrating,
and far-seeing man, his legal acumen has made
him the trusted conferee of many of the foremost
lawyers of the day in cases of the most grave and
delicate nature. He is not a forensic lawyer, and
as his triumphs have not been as an advocate,
they have no doubt, attracted less attention from
the general public than those of the brilliant
orators of the bar. But in consultations in cham
bers and at the side of the ablest advocates there
are few faces more familiar, few minds more clear,
and few judgments more reliable and relied upon
than those of William E. Chandler, of New Hamp-
shire With him Attorney-General, in
case Mr.. MacVeagh feels bound to retire, the
sturdy Republican sentiment of the North
might safely rest assured that the full length
and strength of the arm Of Federal law
would be exerted in 1882 to protect the right of
suffrage in every Southern State His stalwartisni
is, indeed, the whole i" head and front of his
offending" Personally there is not more up
right, scrupulously faithful, and entirely honest
man in American politics His public abilities are
conceded to be of the first order and his private
character is above reproach. dangerous, be-
cause skillful political opponent, he neverthe-
less enjoys the personal respect of foes and friends
alike. Mr.. MacVeagh viii not increase the public
regard for himself by opposing himself to so excel
lent a nomination for Solicitor General. And the
President will neither weaken his Cabinet nor
offend any section of public opinion worthy of
Difference if he should insist on retaining Mr.
Chambers services either in the second or the
first place.-BoStoa Trdreler.

prominent representatives from other religious
CARNATIONS in the city, gathered last night at the
E-Street Baptist Church to bid farewell to Rev. A.
F. Mason, their whilom pastor The meeting was
held in the spacious school room, and was a
pleasant farewell occasion. There was much
emotion exhibited, and the conduct of parishioners
and friends showed plainly that the retiring pas
tor was man of force earnestnesS. and capacity
to inspire affection. Mr.. Mcrrick, of the EStreet
Church, presided, and eloquent farewell addresses
were madeby Rev. DR.. Domer, of st. Pauls English
Lutheran Church: Rev. DR.. Butler, ofthe Memorial
English Lutheran Church; Rev. DR.. Kelly, Of the
Fourth Presbyterian, and Rev. DR.. Rankin, of the
Congregational. Mr.. Mason concluded the speak
ing with q tender and touching valedictory,
in which he said that in all his long experience he
had never been at a church for which he felt so
profound and devoted an affection he did for
the one to which he then babe farewell A hand

eises, and the company then separated. Mr. Mason

office Of AIR. wv. Pratt, secretary of the associa-
ton, yesterday afternoon for the purpose OF hold
ing conference with the officers of the National
Capital Bell Telephone Company to adjust the ex-

cided to give the company one more opportunity

the situation, representative of THE REPUBLICAN
last night went carefully over the ground and in
terviewed number of gentlemen who have been
prominently identified the supporters of the two
aspirants for this position. An impartial deduc-
ton of these various expressions of opinion places
the situation about follows: Marshal Douglass
has in his several interviews with the President
uniformly declined to waive his claims for the
marshalship, even upon intimation that another
appointment would be open to him. 1t is the ear
nest desire of the President to besow this appoint
ment upon his friend, Captain E. W. Henry, and
he has not hesitated to state much to all those
who came TO the front as aSpirants for the mar
shalship. This expression of the wishes of the
Executive had the effect to clear the
field Of all the applicants for the posi-
ton except Marshal Douglass, who has
persisted under all circumstances in pressing his
claims. Mr.. Douglass is strongly backed for the
position by a number of prominent gentlemen,
and the strong showing made for him has induced
the President to delay deciding up to the present
time whom he will appoint to the place. Thus
the question may be regarded as still an open One
with the odds in favor of the selection Of Captain
Henry to be marshal of the District.

WAR DEPARTMENT CLERKS,
Those Who Are to be Dropped-JudEe
Noah and His Commi ssion.

The statement that under the revision
of the appointments in the War Department made
during the past year the effect would be to vir-
tually discharge all clerks appointed from June
80, 1880. to March 3, 1881, created quite breeze
yesterday among those who would be affected by
such action. 1t can be stated however, that the
number of clerks to be dropped will probably not
exceed fifteen in both the Adjutant- Generals and
the Surgeon Generals Offices. This number will
be made up entirely from those who have been
found inefficient and whose records indicate their
unfitneSs for clerical duty The main effect of this
revision will be to abrogate the grading for the
pay of these clerks established by Judge Noah and
to fix their pay at the rate prescribed in the appro
priation bill. The discontinuance of the commits
sion headed by Judge Noah and the relegation of
the matter of appointments to the supervision of
the chiefclerk is another change to be made under
this decision

"PubIIc Opinion. :;

TO the EdHOT o. The RcpnottcCn:
The Tribune quotes from the st. Paul
Pioneer Press as follows: "All thoughtful American
citizens will rejoice at the appointment of Judge
Robertson, not because he is diStasteful to Mr..
Conkling," &c. Now. venture to affirm that that
is the precise reason why the Pioneer Press reoces.
This paper has for years, for reasons unknown to
me, pursued Senator Conkling with a venomous
hostility only matched by that of the New York
Sun toward General Grant. One could scarcely
take up a copy of the paper without finding some
gratuitOus slur some far fetched fling at the Sena
tor Let this be borne in mind when the Pioneer
Press is quoted with the Utica Herald as public
opinion respecting Senator Conkling.
