SPECIAL TO THE sESTIyEL.I


WASHINGTON, July 25.-The President
is said to have adopted a new rule, which
will soon result in placing only ~stalwarts
in office. When q stalwart's term expires
he will re-appoint him, and when a half
breeds term expires he will replace him
with a stslwart. The truth Of this is
apparent, from the fact that there are 1SG
Presidential offices in Pennsylvania, and
the President has already made appoint
ments for IS Of them, or about 40 per cent.
In New York there are 276 Presidential
Offices and the President has already made
nominations to 50. There have been 81
nominations TO Office in New York State,
but three were successive nominations to
one place. At the Weedsport office, of the
% Collectors President Arthur has APP
pointed 10, or 50 per cent. All have
either been known as pronounced stall
warts, or procured their appointments
through unmistakable stalwart influence.
A prominent New York Congressman says
it is entirely within bounds to say that 30
per cent Of all New Workers who have been
appointed to Office are stalwarts. An ex-
animation Of the list Of 81 nominations,
referred to above, shows that five Of them
are women. DeductnS these, an examIn-
alton of the list by political tests show
that of the II remaining not less than "a
are either known as stalwarts, or have
been appointed through s~talwart influence.

tain John 5. Wise, Readjuster candidate

near here with pistols. At the first round
both fired at the given word without
effect. At the second round Crockett's

loading the weapon both combatants We're
placed in position for another exchange
of shots. Wise's pistol missed fire, and
Crockett's fire was again harmless.
Crockett, the challenging party, expressed
himself satisfied, and the fight terminal
ed. The meeting had its origin i'll a
personal r~encUuuter, which took place on
Monday, the 18th instant, at Marion,
when Captain Wise met Crockett and ill.,
t~errogated him about certain language
which Crockett attributed to Wise.
Crockett acknowledged that he had
made the statement, and said it was
true. Wise denounced it as false, and
struck Crockett. Before the latter could
resent the blow outsiders interfered, and
both were arrested and fined for a
breach of the peace. This caused a sub-
sequent correspondence, which resulted
in the duel. No arrests.
