Albany New York; district in congress. he
has had service on the bench. He looks
more like farmer than a lawyer. He is
Jolly in his temperament. affable ia manner,
and unmerciful with a crooked witness.
Gov. Stewart the Republican member, has
served term as governor Of the green
mountain state. He is more reserved than
his colleagues. At first blush one would
judge him TO be austere. but this wears away
upon acquaintance. He is good lawyer.
LoGAN's SPLEEN.
Postmaster General Hatton told the GLOBE
correspondent to-day that he expected the
senate would regret the nomination Of VIM.
Z. Curtis as secretary of the South American
commission. Senator Logan has not ceased
in his opposition, and says he is not TO be
deferred from doing his duty by intimations
that the htter-Oceaa will oppose his reelection
to the senate unless be does so. It is said
that charges of corruption have been rsked
mp against Mr.. Curtis, dating back TO the
time when he was an officer in the senate as
clerk for Senator Dorsey's committee.
THE SENATORIAL CLOAK ROOM AFFEoNTED.
that Gov. Cleveland has rented house in
that city for the months OF January aud
February, win carry CONSERVATION TO clique
Of public men who had hoped be would come
to Washington in the middle of January.
Those who are constructing a cabinet in
Washington look with envy on those like
wise engaged in New York. The Washing
for Ia~- f,a ~ n
shorter distance TO the power soon TO rule,
the New York influence may eclipse the in
huence OF this end. However, Mr. Cleve-
land, up TO the day of his Inauguration, will
be expected to make obeisance 10 those who
do the gossiping in the senatorial cloak
room.
WANTS TO BE REISsTATED.
Maj. Reno, who has endured some pretty
hard knocks since be was court martialed
aud dismissed from the army, is back in
Washington. In the course of a converse
ton this evening at the Ebbit be said:''I can
tell you that am here to remain some time,
perhaps all winter. A bill for my restora-
tion is in the hands of my friends in the
house, and / have hopes that il will pass at
this session. Perhaps it is not best TO say
just at present who have the measure in
charge" After he was dropped from the army
Maj Reno was an instructor at the naval
academy teaching dancing, II your cores
podent's informant is not mistaken. Then
be tried other things. He felt keenly the re-
suit Of the trial, and for time It looked as II
his misfortunes would be his utter ruin.
More recently, however, he has been endeav-
oring to redeem himself. and now seems to
have sympathy and friendship in army cir
cles.
NOT FOR DAVIS.
Talking with Representative Gibson, OF
West Virginia, day or so ago, he expressed
Senator Davis, OF West Virginia, postmaster
general, did not have behind it the endorse
mcnt or sympathy of the people of the state.
Gibson feels that, while there Is no reason 70
believe that Davis can secure the place, be
thinks this very aspiration will hinder the
state from receiving rewards in another di-
rection TO which some Of her sons are enti-
tied. For this reason doth be protest.
HIS CHANCES sHADowY.
There is no probability that Mr.. Pierce, OF
Chicago, will secure a district judgeship here,
for which he is urged by Representative Davis
and Senator Logan 1t is current gossip
here that Davis and Logan have made a
truce, whereby the former will use his iuilu-
ense to secure Logan's reelection TO the SEN
ate in consideration OF the latter's influence
TO get the judgeship for Pierce. 1t is said al
the White house that there is no probability
Of either Of the three district judges availing
themselves of their rights TO go upon the re-
tired list and thus make vacancy for the
president to'6Il. The president does not in
tend to leave the city during the holidays.
MCULLocH's RECEPTION.
Secretary McCulloch has issued cards for q
public reception on the Bird of January.
ANYBODY But HILL.
Secretary Teller says he does not intend 10
90 to Colorado to look after the senatorship.
He has not withdrawn, but will be entirely
satisfied to have any person other than Sen
ator Hill elected.
THE LOUISIANA LOTTERY.
Another attempt is to be made by the gov
ernment to prevent the use OF the mails by
the Louisiana Lottery company, by legal pro-
ceedings in the United States court at New
Orleans. The postoficc department has
collected evidence in sixty or more specified
cases, which are taken as samples Of the
manner in which the company conducts its
business in contempt of law. The law ofIi-
GERS of'the department. have selected one OF
these as test case, to proceed with by in
formation, and If the government shall be
successful with that, the remaining cases will
be pressed. The representatives OF
the Lottery company here, where an
immense revenue is collected for
the concern each month, are not at all un-
easy about the proposed action Of the federal
authorities. They say this is simply another OF
those occasional spasms of virtuOus indigna-
ton which has seized the postal administra-
ton, bat in every instance passed off with
out harmful effect upon the lottery business
beyond the temporary annoyance TO its man
ayers aud agents. Tue statute itself is de-
fcctiye, anu the postal authorities have little
encouragement 10 attempt To prevent the use
of the mails by lottery companies, nor to have
the law amended, for some mysterious iunu-
ence exerted upon congress has invariably
defeated every effort to close the gaps by
which legalised lotteries escape.

north Atlantic squadron, who has been her,
