PARTY SECRETS.

A dispatch from Washington stated
that ex-State Controller Hobart, now
Senator from Eureka, was endeavoring
to secure, through Senator Jones, the
appointment. of Register and Receiver
of the Eureka Land Office, with both
offices and salaries consolidated, and
that James Il. Anderson, OF Louisiana
snotoriety, editor of the Eureka Leader,
had recently visited Washington and
personally appealed to Senator jones to
have the Offices consolidated aud APP
point Mr.. Hobart to fill them. The
dispatch further stated that the move
srnent was maie:in the interest ,of ex.
Congressman Wren, who is a candidate
ito succeed Senator Jones, and that the
latter did not feel disposed to 10 out of
his way to remove the officers of the
Eureka Land Office to accommodate
him. Mr.. Hobart, who is editing the
Leader during the absence of Mr..
Anderson in the East, in leading arti-
Gle in Tuesdays issue of that paper,
charges Senator Jones with first sug-
;gesting the consolidation OF the offices
.of Register and Receiver and appoint
ing him 4 Hobart) to the new place, and
chat he (Hobart) was averse to accept
ing it. as he desired ito leave the State,
but finally, at request of friends, con.
scented to accept the Senator's Offer
The dispatch evidently irritates Mr..
Hobart. and causes him to divulge some
party secrets. He says that a caucus
was held at Carson last Winter, in
which Kinkead, Warrington. Powning
and others participated, and an alliance,
offensive and defensive. was formed.
and programme for the coming elec-
fion mapped out. This programme in
scluded Kinkead for Governor, Powning
for Congress, Leonard for the Supreme
bench, and so on down, with the agree
snent that the combination should make
a square fight to return Jones to the
Senate. This programme was submit.
ted to Senator Jones. who was asked to
secure Daggett's appointment to the
Sandwich Islands to get him ont Of the
way. and to give Sabin of Eureka. who
was . candidate for Supreme Judge,
the place formerly fDed by Hhlyer.
The Leader says Senator Jones entered
heartily into this scheme, but it
was rumored that Judge Whitman
would be q candidate for Sem
.ator, and this report alarmed
Jones, who thought it more essen
tial to get rid of Whitman
than to provide for Ssbin. Whitman.
would not. however. accept the Judg
ship at its present salary, SO Senator
Jones set about having il increased.
in the meantime bill to appoint
eighteen additional judges as an inter
mediate court was before Congress. and
Jones saw way out Of the predlca-
ment, Ly securing Whitman one OF
these appointments and also providing
for Sahin. who was recently appointed
Judge, leaving only Whitman to be
cared Cor.
The article throughout is quite
interesting. as it shows a part Of the
the secret machinery Of the party, and
explains how it is worked with mi
nuteness OF detail which pxssss that
Mr. hobart thoroughly understands it.

TELEGRAPHIC ITEMS.

An astounding piece of rasealty ON
the part of George #. Doughty, Secre-
tary OF the New Orleans L Texas Pa.
cifc Railway Company, has been
brought to light. 1t was an over issue
OF $500, 900 of the stock of the road.
The over issue was promptly turned
into cash. but the stock has been ma.
nipulated in such way that it was not
detected at the time of the payment of
the January dividend, nor was it known
until the day after the death of
Doughty, which occurred several
months ago. Doughty invested the
proceeds in the Cincinnati, Selma &
Alabama Railroad. and this stock is in
the possession of Theodore Cook, as
administrator Of Doughty's estate.
Mr.. Cook is President of the Cincinnati,
New Orleans & Texas Pacific, and it is
claimed that this stock will very nearly
make good the loss. There 10 also re-
course on Doughty's bondsmen.
The -four mills Of Hecker & Co., New

escaped. The manager Of the Chicago
branch OF Hecker g. Co. says the loss
on the machinery and buildings alone
of the two mills thoth are destroyed)
will reach 81 100000. The stock is
estimated at 1925. 600; the insurance
will not cover the loss. At least fifteen
tenement houses opposite were de-
stroyed. and the occupants had to flee
for their lives, as the fire burned with
great rapidity and ferceness. The
walls of the -four mill fell in, killing
two 6remen. Four factory hands per-
ishsd in the faines. It is reported that
number Of those residing in tenement
houses across the street were unable to
escape and we're among the dead.
