More Colored Than White Ofice
Holders.

WASHINGTON, April ga day or
two ago a colored delegation fled
into Secretary Folger's Office and
modestly demanded the appoint
ment of a coiored man to n of the
most important positions in the de-
partment. The spokesman of the
party made the demand in a very
impudent manner. He did not fan
cy for a moment hat the Secretary
could refuse their request. He had
just commenced an eloquent speech
to the effect that the colored race
was the saviors of the Republican
party and should be recognized ac-
cordingly. when Mr.. Folger stopped
him and said bluntly, but politely,
"You ask me to remove one of my
most trusted officials and give his
place to n of your race. My an
swer is it shall not be DONE" The
entire party sprang to their feet and
uttered an exclamation of surprise.

arguments again but Mr.. Folger stop

g The Ben. Halliday Bill.

New York, 10 - Times Warrington
special: The vote taken on Tuesday
upon the amendment to the Ben, Hslls-
day bill shows the present Senate regards
the claim with more favor than it did
two years ago. The original bill called
for about 100000, aud the Senate cut it
down to 500, 600 and passed it. This re-
suit was very unsatisfactory to the claim
ant. The bill reported this year calls for
about $500, 600, but the Senate has re.
fused by 81 to TO cut the amount down
to $1,000 Halliday Is q familiar

brought before Congress. BE also de-
clared that senators had been pursued By

Good AIen Gone Wrong.

New York, I9.-The Stakeholder esvs

with having developed the first sign OF
weakness in yesterdays market The
street was IN possession of the fact before
the opening, that q joint resolution had
been introduced in the Kansas Legisla-
ture looking 10 the breaking up of the
consolidation Of the Union Pacific and.
Kansas Pacific roads, and the stock was
therefore regarded saspiciously. /. was
learned that the earnings for the first
half OF January showed q falling off Of
over S96, 600. and the report was also in
circulation that the report of the govern
ment directors would be unfsyorsble.
We can state on authority that its actual
nature is not yet known. The renort
will not be ready until about March Lat,
when it will be presented to the secretary
ofthe interior. Itseems that the govern
ment directors were not received at The
Boston Office of the company with that
cordially which should mark the meet
lngs Of body Of gentlemen holding so
nigh trust as the government directory
OF the Union Pacific railway. Their re-
quest for information was simnIv met
with refusal, and the data thew have
SA WOAO luI ulSuSU AL the NEW

declines at any time to exhibit its books
to part of its own board of directors,
representing the interest which gave il
birth, and furnished the money to build
Its line, must have something of import
ance to conceal.
