sole offense, and this is condoned. Mr..
Rounds stated to-day that it was entirely
untrue that other members of the Critic
crowd than Helm were in the printing
Office, and he denounces as an infamous lie
the story that A. C. Buell., editor of the
Critic, was carried on the printing Office
rolls as laborer. By the way, the young
man Donephan, lately employed in the
printing Office, is appearing before the
public in singular and duplex capacity.
His father was one of the star route jurors
and voted to convict. Counsel for the de-
Tense have been remarking significantly
that, Immediately after old Donephan voted
to convict, young Donephan was promoted
from the temporary to the permanent roll.
Now the government counsel observe bit
terly that Donephan, ST., having voted for
conviction, Donephan, Jr., is discharged,
whereupon they demand the removal of
Mr.. Helm, and allude to Mr.. Rounds in az.

NEPOTISM
The new postmaster Mr.. Tullock, has
made good beginning. He has appointed
his son to be assistant postmaster. Post
master General Howe made his son chief
clerk of the department, Attorney General
Brewster has provided his step-son, who
has adopted his name, with a
place in the department. of Justice.
In the language of st. Paul, the
man who does not provide for his own
household is here regarded as having de-
MED the party faith, and as being worse
than an il dependent.
FOLGER STICKS
Concerning the very recent sensational
rumors of his resignation, Secretary Fol
ger said there was not shadow of founda
| ton in fact for the report. He has re-
| signed. he said, to his defeat in the recent
election, butsas to the resignation of his
office, he had never contemplated such a
measure. ''To show you how absurd such
report isl said Secretary Folger, II have
leased my house in Washington for another
year from Dec. Is next, the very day on
which they have me assigned to duty in
New York.
gentleman is reported to have heard
the president say to-day that he was en-
barrassed by the holding on of Folger
after his nomination. He kept on think
ing he would resign until after the cleo
ton, but now he had about given up the
hope. He said he at one time offered him
the English mission, which was declined.
and the worst of it was that he couldn't

he took him from life place. Taking
one consideration with another, it seems
to be most uncomfortable thing for Mr..
Folger to stay, and more uncomfortable
one for the president to have him.
1t does worry the old Judge more
than he will admit. A Southern gentle
man was out riding with him few days
ago, and on returning he asked friend
what allied Folger. Said he: "He acted
like man in dream, he seems to have
lost his mental grip" However that may
be, he has not lost his grip on the office of
secretary of the treasury.
PARDON.
Gov. Foster, of Ohio, who is here to-day,
announced that On Thanksgiving day he
would pardon Fred Grilloh, who twenty
two years ago, was sentenced to twenty
years imprisonment for murder. During
the term of his Imprisonment he became
insane and was sent to an asy-
lum, where he remained four years,
and was then sent back to prison
cured, to serve out his term, the four years
he was in the asylum not counting under
the law.
THE APPROPRIATIONS.
Representatives Ryan. Caswell and Lee
fevre, the subcommittee having charge of
the Indian appropriation bill, are here,
working night and day perfecting the bill,
and expect to have it ready to report to
the house on the first day of the coming
session of congress.
The board of audit in the matter of the
bills presented for the illness of the late
President Garfield have no trouble save
with the doctors. The claims of the doc
tors largely exceed the $4,000 appropri-
ated, but of the remainder, which is $22,-
500, there is sufficient to meet all other
claims.
