declined to have anything but England,
thus depriving Mr.. Pendleton of the
object of his ambition; and leaving him
to choose between Germany and Rus
sia. Ex-Gov. Jarvis. of North Carolina
did not want the Brazilian mission.
He said it was the same as banishment.
Then suddenly he appeared in Wasl =
ington and accepted it. Gen. Lawton
is trying to go to Russia with his disa-
bilities under the fourteenth amend
ment, and Andrew Johhson's pardon
in his pocket. The new secretary of
state tells hin at Andrew Johnson
pardoned him for his treason and therc-
fore the fourteenth amendment does
not affect him. Mr.. Bayard knows
that Andrew Johnson pardoned per-
haps 10000 just as he did Gen. Law
ton; and yet, unless they got their dis
abilities removed by congress, the par
don was not legally sufficient to cover
the offence. Tn President was much
encouraged by the support the re
publican senators gave him in making
appointments at the extra session.
How far this support was based on the
belief that his course would strengthen
the republican party, and that it was
the best way to build it up, is a ques-
tion about which opinions differ. 1t is
only fair to assume that the republi-
cans will work for their own party, and
that they will favor what will tend to
divide the democrats. The republi-
cans are watching Mr.. Cleveland and
the course of his administration with
intense interest, and on the whole they
are a pretty happy people.
There have been no important ap-
pointments made during the week, and
no incidents of note have occurred in
department matters. The special in
vestigation commission of the treasury
is hard at work day and night with its
heavy task, the outcome of which is
awaited with great interest. It is still
engaged with the internal revenue bu-
reau, which opens a particularlarly
broad field for inspection.
Secretary Marning has just returned
from an inv estigating tour to the en-
pire state. His ostensible business
there was of strictly private character
but his alleged business was to take
counsel of the wise men of his party,
and manipulate the popular pulse with
a view Of ascertaining how fast and how
far the administration can safely go in
the way of making places for democrats
who hunger for the flesh pots. Presi-

WASHINGTON LETTER.


Washington. April 10, 1855
Preparations had been made for the
first general reception at the White
House of the present administration,
but the announcement that Gen Grant
could not live through the night
brought preparations to a stand still.
When the death of Gen. Grant occur,
president Cleveland will issue an order
closing the executive departments and
directing that they be draped IN mourn
ing. 1t seems to be settled now that
Gen. Grant will be buried in the Dis
trict of Columbia. Various sites have
been spoken OF for, his final resting
place. Gen. Sheridan has the matter
in charge and he has been consulting
prominent army officers, The spot
known as the White Lot, which is be-
tween the White House and the Wash
ington Monument, has been suggested
as an appropriate one. Others favor
the Congressional Cemetery, and the
crypt of the Capitol, Arlington, or the
Soldiers Home, and it is probable one
of the commanding elevations in these
beautiful grounds will receive the dust
of the nations dead. The month of
April is thickly studded with Grant an
piversaries, and now his death is likely
to add another memorable one to the
list. 1t was on April Ist. that Gen.
Grant turned Lees right at Five Forks;
April 2nd he assisted and carried the
lines at Petersburg and Richmond;
April 9th the battle of Shiloh opened;
April 9TH he drove the rebels from the
field; April 9Th he had thrown his cav
airy across Lees line ofretreat, and on
April the 9th Lees army surrendered.
Now that most of President Cleve-
lands diplomatic appointments have
been settled, some curious stories come
out concerning the ambitions and dis
appointments of his appointees. Ex-
Senator Pendleton who served as the
manager for the civil service agitator
in the senate, and who fathered their
bill, set the example of spurning one of
the elementary principles of their creed.
He desired the English mission above
all others. He got the endorsement
of all the democratic senators and ap-
piled for the place. When minister
Phelps was offered foreign mission he

The latest way adopted of" getting
around the civil service reform profes
sions of president Cleveland is by dem
ocrats OF Oregon who represent to the
president that there ale seven federal
office holders of Portland who control
the republican politics. Of the state, and
are now laboring in behalf of the re-
publican party and that if such repub-
lican officials ,are removed and demo-
Gratis appointed in tlhelr stead the dem
.scrats can at the next election carry
the state. The representation that
seven or any other number of republi-
can office holders of Portland rule or
have ruled the republican party is
another democratic fabrication but it
viii furnish a good excuse for the
president to step over the bounds of
civil service reform with which he is
endeavoring to gull the country. Re
publicans never expected anything else
but what cleveland would turn out
republican office holders in order to
give place TO the ravenous, hungry and
buzzard-like throng, which formed a
large portion of his following, and if
he had went about it in straight for

been said against it, but when he de-

Secretary Manning has appointed
B. Frank Abbott of New Jersey, as
chief of division in the Office of audi
tor of the treasury for the post-office
department, instead of Widdicombe, of
Maryland, who resigned by request.
This appointment is rRade clearly in
violation of The rules of civil service
reform, by appointing Mr.. Abbott
from the outside, when by require
ments of civil service reform it should
have been made by promotion and ex-
animation. Civil service reformers
have already become alarmed at this
inovstion and have made efforts to get
the president to interfere and require
the chiefs of divisions to be filled by
examination and promotion, thus far
the president has not interfered as the
presidents interference to require such
places to be filled as the civil service
reformers desire world prevent some
of Mr.. Cleveland's favorite Democratic
friends from occupying such positions
therefore it is more than probable that
he will utterly fail to see any reasons
for his interference and instead will
place the responsibility upon the re-
spective members of his cabinet who
make the appointments.
