Holland, the Lunch Man.

Isaac F. Normen, of the Life-Saving
Service, Treasury Department, says: al beg leave
to publish my protest in addition to that of your
correspondent in this mornings paper against
the admission of Holland, the Farmers Lunch
man, to any privileges within the gift of the Gov
eminent. He not only is a rank Democrat, rebel,
and eX-conlederate soldier, but boor beside.
Some time since, accompanied by weary, travel
worn friend, l went into Hollands lunch room
We sat down at one of the tables and called for a
cup of tea and other refreshments In the rudest
manner Holland ordered US out, saying he did
not run his business for the accommoda-
ton of colored men, and we could not
get anything there. We demonstrated
but, in the most pcremptory manner, he again
ordered us to leave, and threatened personal
violence five did not move at once. We remained
a moment and left. We went in as any other
quiet, orderly citizens would have DONE and there
was nothing in our conduct during the whole in
terView that was in the least out of the way. I'm
mcdiately on seeing the notice in THE REPUBLICAN
l called on Secretary French and stated the facts
as above, and am pleased TO say that he agreed
with me in my view of Hollands con-
duct. l also called on Mr. Chief Clerk
Power and related the facts to him
Mr. Editor, is it too much to hope that in face Of
Hollands rebel record, the direct infraction of the
law above cited, and the fact that one class of
Treasury employees would be shut out from par
ticipation in the accommodation his lunch room
might Afford you will recommend the Department
to allow Mr.. Holland to continue his exclusive
system of business where he pleases outside of

THE BURKE-PAYNE DIFFICULTY.
What n Spectator of an Occurrence Has
to Say-Mrs. Payne's Card.

General E. W. Whitaker requests pub
LEGATION of the following: " regret exceedingly
that the letter of your Alexandria correspondent,
published in your issue of the 18th instant, i'm
poses upon me the necessity of correcting state
ments in that letter which do great injustice to
innocent lady. was in company with Mr.. Burke
on the night referred to- which was in October
last, not in February, stated by your correspond
ent and from my own personal knowledge now
state the facts as they occurred.
l. TOGETHER WITH MEssRs. PAYNE,
Burke, and Major Bayly, was actively engaged in
the political canvass of last fall and was very anx
ious to meet Major Bayly, who was expected to
return to the city that evening on the Midland
train with Mr. Payne, and, in company with Mr.
Burke, started in search of him. On our way Mr..
Burke Observed "This is Payne's residence. Let
us stop and inquire of him whether Major Bayly
has returned to the city" Mr.. Burke raped at
the door, and, after some delay, window of the
second story was raised, and while Mr.. Burke was
explaining the object of our call then a stranger
to Mrs. Payne) walked on down the street, and
was soon rejOined by Mr.. Burke, who informed me
that Mr.. Payne had arrived while he was inquir-
ing for him, and went back to Mr.. Paynes house
and asked him whether or not Major Bayly had
come in on the train with him.
MR.. PAYNE ANSWERED MY QUESTION,
when, with the remark that he must be wearied,
paue nlln goodnight ana, Win MI BURKE went 10
the hotel to meet Major Bayly. am positive that
it was not more than two minutes from the time
left Mr. Burke in front of the house to his rejoin
ing me again on the street. I was surprised some
time afterward when Mr.. Payne called upon me
for explanation of the call at his house and the
length of Mr.. Burke's stay there. 1 related the
circumstances as detailed above and he declared
that he was entirely satisfied.
Mr.. PAYNE CONTINUED TO LIVE
with his wife from that time until the month of
February last, when, as am informed, under the
influence of an unfounded suspicion of impro-
priety on her part the occasion referred TO, he
drove her from his house. 1 ask that you will
publish this plain statement of facts in vindica-
ton of lady grievously wronged by the publica
ton of the letter of your Alexandria correspond
ent. should feel called upon under any circum-
stances to do her this act of JUSTICE but the fact
that Mr.. Burke's presence at the house of Mr..
Payne on that occasion was on my behalf renders
it imperative upon me to make this statement, in
refutation of the slanderous misrepresentation
which have been made of what then and there
occurred

STATIONERY CONTRACTS.
Awards Made in the POst-Ofce Depart
nlent for the Next Fiscal Year

The awards for furnishing stationery
to the Post Office Department for the fiscal year
commencing July l next were made yesterday
afternoon. In determining the successful bidders
a consideration was given to the quality of the
samples submitted as well as the price asked, and
the lowest proposal was in great many instances
not accepted. In some cases even the highest bid
taken, it being believed that it would be
really cheaper for the Government in the end
to secure an article of frst-claSs quality rather
than accept inferior material at a low figure.
The appropriation for stationery for the next year
is $1,000 but it is not thought that over 900 will
be expended. The different items on the schedule
were awarded as follows: ]. J. Chapman,

From The Choeaaw Nation.

Secretary Kirkwood yesterday re-
ceived telegram from Fort Smith, Ark, embody-
ing resolutions adopted at mass meeting of citi-
zens of that place Thursday. The resolutions com
plain that the Indian authorities of the Choctaw
Nation have passed a law assessing a very high
tax upon all white persons without Indian rights
who carry on any trade or occupation within the
territorial limits of the nation and deploring the
action of the Choctaw Nation in attempting TO
enforce such law at a time when such enforce
ment would work great injury, hardship, and
suffering upon the white settlers. The Secretary
is earnestly implored to take such steps in behalf
of the people as in his judgment may be necessary
to postpone the enforcement of the law in ques-
ton until the present growing cronS are eathered

considerable portion of it is in the State of Vir-

The Eagle and His TaiI.Feafhers.

Those who have been hunting for silver
dollars of the first issue of 1878, which have an
eagle with eight tail feathers will be disappointed
to learn Officially" of the number that were
issued, and that they are no more valuable than
the later issues on which but seven tail feathers
appear, the position of the arrow which the eagle
holds in his talon being changed so as to conceal
the other feather. So much inquiry mas been made
in reference to the eight tailfeathered eagle that
the Director of the Mint has issued the following
circular letter:
