Getting too Common.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-The current of
leisurely debate in the Senate, which for
several days recently has been running so
low in point of interest as to induce a near
approach to stagnatiOn, took a sudden turn
this afternoon into a veritable pool of heated
discussion, with the effect of stirring up par
ty feeling and reviving personal luminosity to
an extent which once more makes it impos-
sible to forecast the duration of the present
contest. but which will tend only to increase
its stubbornness. The charges and counter
charges freely made by both sides eliminated
as might have been expected in another ex-
citing outbreak Of pesonal denunciation be-
tween Malone and Hill of Georgia, which is
fully described elsewhere. The prevalent
opinion is that in this encounter, the little
Virginian gained decidedly the advantage,
but 1t is also remarked on every hand that
scenes of this character are becoming alto
gether too common in the United States Sem
ate and that it strongly behooves both par
ties to put an end to them by some emphatic
assertion of that body's traditional dignity
and sense of decorum. A number of ap-
pointments TO important Federal positions
have been determined upon, which yet re-
main secret between the appointing power
and the parties chosen for the offices, because
The appointees have requested the President
not to send their names while the deadlock
continues. Among the nominations with
held for this reason, it is said there are those
of several ex-Senators, who will get foreign
missions.

ourgensen Protests.

WASHINGTON, April 1G.-The man Jour-
gensen, Of Virginia, makes an emphatic de-
NAL Of the report which was extensively cir
culated last night that during an interview
with the President yesterday he protested
against the recognition of Malone and ad-
yised Garfield to recognize only the straight
out Republicans of Virginia. He says he
consented to introduce several Of his constit-
uents who held these views, but took no part
whatever in their unexpected attack to in
fuence the President against the retention of
the Petersburg postmaster and collector of
internal revenue, who supported the coali-
ton movement. On the contrary he inter-
preted the report by saying that he had been
misinformed as TO the purpose Of their errand
and that he did not agree with them. This
authoritive statement Is of consequence as
Mr.. Jourgensen IS doubtless the most able
and PROFESSIONALLY the most influential Vir-
ginia representative known in Washington.

CABINET COMPLICATIONS.
Fears ola General Disruption Very Soon.

Fears ola General Disruption Very Soon.
WASHINGTON, April 16.-When one reali-
yes the situation in the Interior Department
it is hard to understand how Garfield could
have selected Kirkwood as member of his
Cabinet. The old gentleman never had any
executive ability He is one of the most
honest men in the world, and thought the
Interior Department would get away with his
reputation if he did not personally attend to
every detail. He will sign no document
without first reading it, and has determined
all, which makes the clerks powerless to
evade his orders. He never knew how to
protect himself from the swarms of office
seekers. The work of the department is be-
hind just as many weeks as have elapsed
since Kirkwood assumed his duties as Secre-
tary. Letters and documents are heaped on
his desk, while bales in the adjoining room
await his attention. Kirkwood's retirement
from the Cabinet of course means that he
will be cared for somewhere else as he gave
up his seat in the Senate and so cannot be
sent back to private life. Kirkwood's going
out, too, will make the first break and per-
haps give some excuse for general disrup-
ton of the Cabinet that everybody in Wash
ington now believes is not far distant. The
Blaine people are in favor of a reorganiza-
ton, but it is fact that within the last two
or three weeks, Garfield has become distrllst-
full of Blaine. One of Garfield's chums SAYS
that the President now suspects Blaine, and
Il, Il, l.,
enemy as Conkling. Blaine he credits with
the responsibility for his becoming so involv-
ed in New York. The chums whisper to
Garfield that Blaine really is as DESTROYS of
making him personally unpopular as is Con-
Killing; that when the climax is reached
Blaine intends to retire from the Cabinet
and make capital for himself. The real
truth is that Garfield is already looking fe-
vershy ahead to his reelection, and nearly
all his acts are shaped by hopes and fears for
his future. 1t is doubtful if Blaine himself
can remain long in the Cabinet unless he Sc
cures the entire control. The President now
distrustS him and he was taken into the Cab
met as his warm aud personal friend. If
Blaine is not really his friend then the Pres
ident is without single friend in the Cabi-
net. Not long ago Garfield sent for an I'M
official friend to come and see him. This
friend he addressed by his first name as he
said: - am in bad box" " Yes,
and | am glad of it, damn you," was the
frank reply. This blunt visitor then went on
to say that what the President needed more
than anything else was a few friends. His
present policy was alienatinSthe all. What
he advised him to do was to reorganize his
Cabinet and put none but Garfield men it.
This advice was respectfully considered, bnt
it is not expected that it will be followed.
Garfield at present is not worrying very
much. He is represented as in buoyant
humor and as one observer put it, is doubt
less up to some new Ohio surprise for the
country.

The Northern Pacific

NEW YORK, April l3.-COmplaint is filed

Henry Willard against the Northern Pacific
Railroad company and Frederick Billings,

of reorganization it was provided that hold

railroad each year should suffice to pay, and
before any dividend should be paid on COM

of such stock should only be entitled to a
dividend in each year at the discretion of
the Board of Directors, and when the net
earnings shall exceed an amount sufficient to

both alike per share to the number of shares
issued of each, so that preferred shares
would be entitled to their proportion of such
surplus, whether a dividend was declared
and paid to common stockholders out of
said surplus or not. The orator sets forth
that he purchased the shares of stock relying
on the plan and agreement, touching the
earnings of the company, and AYERS the fact
to be that the gross earnings paid said COM
pany for several years, ending October l.
1877, were as follows: For year ending Sep

THE war over the appointment Of Rob-
ertson still continues. Garfield Is asserting
his flrmness and Conkling endeavoring to
secure sufficient number Of Senator'S votes
10 defeat the appointment. A friend of
Conkling, who has been making a canvass Of
the Senate, expresses the opinion that the
following named Republican members of
that body can be depended upon to vote
against the confirmation Of Robertson An
thony, Cameron, Pennsylvania; Conkling,
Edwards, Jones, Nevada: kellogg, Mitchell,
Platt, New York; Rollins, Allison and Lo-
gan. This canvasser also thinks Malone
will vote against the confirmation. The
above list contains the names Of several
Senators who, their friends believe, will not
follow Conkllng In his opposition 10 the
Administration. A friend OF Logan said to-
day that he did not believe that gentleman
who Is on excellentte terms with the President,
would vote against Robertson for the sake of
obliging Conklins. Doubts are expressed
regarding Edmunds, but near friend of his
said to-day that lie believed Edmunds would
vote for Robctson's confirmation. Some
SURPRISE Is expressed that Allison and Nc
Din should be counted against Robertson.

Repubii cans Always Do IL.

New YORK, April 1.-THE Public says
The new Administration begins admirably
in financial matters. 1t deserves credit be-
cause it does not fuss, nor hurry, nor suffer
itself TO be pushed into ill-natured and has
ty action, because II keeps its own counsel
and waits until IL has decided before 1t en-
plains its intentions. 1t believes the new
plan will prove exceedingly successful and
popular. The Democratic Congress talked
for months and passed bill to make war on
the bar ks; drove the rate of interest up to
400 per cent; contracted the currency nearly
eighteen millions in week and demonstra-
ted the utter absurdity of taking capital by
the throat In order TO borrow money at low
rate of interest. A Republican adminiris-
tration without the aid Of any new law, by
the application Of common justice and COM
mon sense to the problem, will probably
succeed In very short time In reducing the
rate Of interest on $50, 000, 900 from six and
five to three and , half per cent. and making
loan terminabie Ut the pleasure Of the
Government.

Edison's Light.

NEW YORK, April 1j.-rhe first public
exhibition of Edson's electric light In this
city was given yesterday evening at the head
quarters of Edison's Electric Light Co., ON
Fifth Avenue. From the outside the house
appeared to be brilliantly illuminated with
gas, the blending rays naturally expected
from electric lamps being wanting. Several
rooms on different floors were supplied with
electric lamps, from which soft white light
was emitted. Edison and several of his as
sistants were present. When Edison was
ask ed if single light could be turned olr,he
went to single lamp in the hall and turned
the light ont with a thumb screw, and by
reverse motion he turned it on again. Prep
aratons are making for putting in the COM

sufierings of the communities in Dakota
which have been subjected to the overflow of
the Missouri river this spring were presented
by several gentlemen who knew the situa-
ton, and committee was appointed to raise

imously agreed to recommend that Nc
Geogh, of Milwaukee, who is manager of
the pork corner here, should send thousand
barrels of pork to the sufferers.

WASHINGTON, April 16.--There is general
expectation here of some development in
the Senate next week looking only to con-
firmations of men who have been nominated
and hanging up in the Senate. All feel
hopeful of early confirmation, but both Re-
publican and Democratic Senators still main
tain that they do not intend to yield one
inch on the question of electing officers.
The friends of Stanley Matthews intend
to make an effort to have him confirmed. He
is anxious to have the matter settled one
way or another and relieve him from further
annoyance.
