THE NEW YORK CoLLECToRsHIP.
CHICAGO, March 25th.-The Journals
Washington special says: Friends of Blaine
are boldly claiming that be brought about
the nomination OF Judge Robertson as Col
lector of New York as 8 reward for his SER
vices at Chicago. 1t is definitely known that
both Conkling and Platt intend to fight to
secure Robertson's rejection by the Senate or
withdrawal of his name by the President.
CAVALIER TREATMENT OF GRANTS FRIENDS.
NEW York. March 25th.-The TriJune's
Washington special says: A prominent Grant
man, referring to the recent nominations,
says that while the Administration appears
to have given General Grant consideration, it
really has denied him the only two requests
he asked. These requests, this gentleman
said, were that General Badeau should be
retained as Consul General to London, and
that John Russell Young should be sent as
Minister to Mexico. General Badeau has
not been retained at London, where his salary
and fees from auxiliary Consulstes and unof-
fetal fees aggregate an income of S12, 1000 per
year, and he has been sent to Denmark, where
he has fixed salary of 5000, and is in a
much more expensive city, where also he will
be denied the facilities which he desired for
the completion of his book. John Russell
Young, too. is not to be sent as Minister TO
Mexico, and it does not now appear that any
personal friend of General Grant will 60
there General Hurlbut of Illinois expects
that he is booked for that position.
STANLEY MATTHEWS AND JUDGE FIELD.
New YORK, March 25th. The Suns
Washington correspondent says: Certain
facts notorious here in Washington ought to
be universally understood in all parts of the
country. One of the most persistent and
active advocates of Stanley Matthews is
Judge Field of California. Field has made
it his business to go among Democratic Sena-
tors and urge the confirmation of Matthews,
offering his own pledges and assurances that
Matthews would be conservative ON the
Bench, and that he would be in full sympathy
with his (Field's) views on the Southern ques-
ton and on questions Of Government gener-
ally. This interference has become indecent.
Field himself is a most pronounced partisan
of corporations in the Courts, and has gone
SO far in that direction as to provoke COM
ment from public men who are worthy of the
highest consideration. 1t has been well un-
derstood, and indeed Field himself has de-
clared, that if he had been nominated for
PRESIDENT ne would nave nad the party sup
port of the great Pacific Railroad and all
their combination.
no PURCHASES.
WASHINGTON, March 25th-No silver
bullion was purchased by the Treasury De-
partment this week. All bids offered were
in excess of what the Department would pay.
THE EXTRA SESSION QUESTION.
WASHINGTON, March 25th.-It is ascer-
tanned on trustworthy authority that the ex-
ira session was not included among the topics
at the Cabinet meeting to-day. This fact is
generally accepted as conclusive evidence
that the President has concluded not to call
a special session unless something unlocked
for happens. The delay in setting the matter
at rest is ascribed by one of his advisers to
the Presidents usual custom of listening to
every argument that can possibly be adj.
vanced pro and con. before taking final action
on any important matter.
INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.
WASHINGTON, March 25sh-The Consul of
the United States at Hamburg informs the
Department of State that the International
Exhibition of the power and work of
machinery will take place at Altoona from
August 18th to October 18th.
