consolidation list discover that while the con-
solidation effects large saving, politics have
not been disregarded. In North Carolina
William Ell. Wheeler, one of the leading Grant
men who was deposed by John Sherman, has
been reinstated, while his successor, Everett,
appointed by John Sherman, has been tender
ed place in one of the Territories. The
North Carolina people say that this means
that the delegation to the National Convention
from that State will be for Arthur.
The Lottery Gases.
Postmaster General Gresham has ordered
the papers in the Louisiana and other lottery
cases to be furnished him. He will examine
and decide the case himself. He does that on
account of reiterated charges that favoritism
has been shown lottery people by persons con-
nected with the department.
Swindled Immigrants.
Four Irishmen of the assisted immigrants
who were landed by the steamer Spain were
found here last night. The place where they

furnished them with tickets here, stating this
was where they wished to go. They have
been taken in charge by the police.
