WASHINGTON, July 12.-The Attorney
General is still absent, and the place
vacated by General Golf remains untitled.
NJ. Flick and Mr. Caldwell still haunt the
corridors of the National Hotel, waiting
patiently for the return of Mr.. Brewster
to present to him in person their claims
and argument why they should be ap-
pointed. The other candidates have not
been here this week, Hutchinson having
left Saturday confident that he
would be the one selected. 1t was thought
last week that Senator Don Cameron, of
Pennsylvania, was doing what he could for
Mr.. Hutchinson, and although it is true
that he has received number of letters
from Western Pennsylvania, and one from
q prominent citizen of Bellaire, Ohio, urg-
ing Hutchison's appointment it is said
that the Pennsylvania Stalwart has declined
to take any part in the interest
of either one of the half dozen aspiring pa
triots. In fact it is known that the senator
has told at least two OF the applicants that
he would decline to recommend any OF
them, giving as his reason that he had
enough to do to administer to the wants OF
his own constituents. In the absence OF
other candidates it is asserted tonight
that Mr.. Flick's chances for the
appointment are fully as good
as any OF the others here
tofere named. He has strong backing,
and is said to be rs able a lawyer, if not
superior TO any of those now contesting
for the appointment. Mr.. Flick, at any
rate, is making a!great many warm friends,
who, it is said, are near the throne.

Special Dispatch 10 The Register.
WASHINGTON, July 12-The members Of
Congress have to-day divided their time
quite evenly between discussing the bom-
bardment OF Alexandria and debating the
possibility of adjournment before the lst
OF August. Many Representatives visited
the Senate Chamber and made variety Of
suggestions as to the possibility of avoiding
the impending tariff discussion.
The consideration of The internal revenue
bill was begun to-day. Great interest is felt
in the subject of he proposed reduction OF
tax on tobacco. An attempt will be
made by Senator Malone to abolish this
tax, and, failing in it, motion will be
made to reduce it to ten cents per pound.
If this reduction is made the bill will go
through the House under a suspension OF
the rules, as the Democrats generally favor
the reduction, and the Republicans will be
willing to vote for it in view OF the polite
al advantages which they expect from re-
duction of the duties on sugar and steel
rails. Ii, however, the Senate refuses to
reduce the tax on tobacco, long debate
will take place in the House before the fate
of the bill is settled.

there are parties who will not only I'LL

have their pockets filed with bottles con-

scenes alluded to in said article; showing
that prohibition does not prohibit"
The evidence you have recently given
the public in your valuable paper on this
subject, taken from the history Of the
Great PrShibitisn q Maine
fully confirms this statement. The same can
said of the State Of Connecticut, where over
twenty-five years ago prohibition laws were

II prohibition laws had been in force in
Ohio and West Virginia, would they have

There is no evidence in the history OF the
past for believing anything Of the kind.
Then where is the moral to which this &C.

IRON AND NAIL MEN.

Meeting ofthe Manufacturers nc Pitts.
burg. Yesterday Situation Dis
eussed = Another Firm signs the
Scale.
PITTsBURG, Pa, July 12.-There was a
meeting Of iron and nail manufacturers OF
the West here today. The attendance was
large. The nail manufacturers met first
and after brief discussion it was decided
to not interfere with card rates and to leave
matters just as they were until the next
meeting in October.
The newly formed Iron Association then
marshalled its members for the first time
since its organization, six weeks ago. The
meeting was taken up by discussing the
situation. 1t was found that not one who
had signed the constitution of the new
association had signed the scale and
that the members were as firm as
ever in their determination to resist the
demands of the strikers. The situation
has not changed for several days. Dilworth,
Porter & Co., of this city, signed the scale
to-day, but as they do no pudding their
signing has no significance and will in ne
wise affect the manufacturers side.

PARKERsBURG, July 11.-Rev. Weekly, of
the United Brethren Church, it is said, has
the largest attendance of the young men
and women OF Parkersburg, and the reason
is attributed to the fact that Mr.. Weekly's
sermons are short and interesting, and the
music is made quite an attractive feature
y of the services.
Prof +. w. Leavitt, of the New England
Normal School, gave his pupils quite a
pleasant excursion a few days ago. They
came to Parkersburg by the Sonorna, and
after taking in the sights and visit to that
historic spot, Fort Boreman, which over
looks our city, they again boarded the
steamer and repaired to Blennuhaussett's
Island, where they did ample justice to the
bounteous repast prepared for the occasion.
An hour or two was pleasantly spent on
the Island, after which the party embarked
for home, well pleased with the days en-
tertainment.
Bishop Dixon, of the United Brethren
Church, will

near this city, on next Sunday. The
Bishop will preach in the U. b. Church,

zens of Lubbock, a small village five miles
south of Parkersburg, are very much ex-
cited over the prospect Of liquor saloon,
which is to be opened by one johnson, OF
