It is understood that John Bishop, one of the candidates for the port collectorship at New London, has been offered the position of inspector under Mr. Tate, his successful connection in the race for the office. MT. Bishop, however, is too old to be eligible un- der Secretary Manning's order of June 25. It is also said that MT. Bishop has sent a strong protest to the President against MT. Tate's confirmation, as he claims to have had the pledges of Governors Waller and Eng fish to secure the collectorship to him.

MARCUS CURTIUS-JONES.

Last Saturday Roswell PettibOne Flower
caused frightful chnsm to open in the Demo-
cratic ticket. He did it with his little resigna-
ton. Ever since, the members of the State
Committee, Mr. Hill and the rest of the Demo-
cratic leaders have been flying about with
banched cheeks in search of victim to fill the
chasm. Now, taking one consideration with
another, the role of Marcus Curtlus is not
happy one. For, according to tho legend,
although by putting himself In the gap Curtus
did indeed effect its closing, the action was at
the expense of his own life. Just as the chasm
came to with bang, what was elegantly known
among the Romans as the vital spark OF
Curtius went out quite beyond relighting.
No wonder then, that the Democracy found
it so exceedingly difficult to obtain chasm-
closer. All Saturday evening, all Sunday, all
Monday and the greater part of yesterday the
chasm continued to yawn. The part of Curtius
is romantic, but the Democrats who were
franticalIy invited to accept it firmly declined
it by pointedly inquiring with the realistic Irish
philosopher, whats the whole world to man
when his wife's widow 7" The Syracuse wing
of the party limited that Major Davis would
make good Curtius. But the Majors rela-
tivcs and immediate friends explained that that
gallant soldiers favorite song began
90 would not die In Autumn"
Consequently the movement in his direction
was not pressed. Monday evening General
Slocum, n distinguished citizen of Brooklyn,
whose silver hair and whose valuable services
to the country ought to have saved him from
such an indgnity, was seized upon and well
nigh forced into the chasm. He succeeded,
however, IN beating of his assalants and for
the sake of tho party and by way of facilitating
his escape consented to think of it," He did
think of it, He walked around the edge of the
chasm all night and the longer he walked the
more he thought he wouldn't. Slocum's final
answer was: "Not any Curtius in mine"
Such was the situation at Q p. IN. yesterday.
The chasm still yawncd. Finally, just as the
Democratic State Committee was doubtless on
the point of advertising for robust Democrat
to play Curtius-and no questions asked" one
of the relief parties came in with drag-net en-
closing Jones-Jones of Binghamt0n. Jones was
asked if he was willing to leap into the chasin.
His precise reply has not been given out, but 1T
is understood that he substantially remarked:
Dulce ct decoIum est pro Tdmmdni mort"
His friends say that Jones has blown out the
gas and gone to bed. However, the chasm has
closed. Democracy has a candidate for Lieu
