OF fresidont pro tenlPoTeo OF tne oenate'
was made unanimous, but the honor
was declined by him, and the caucus
was adjourned until this afternoon,
when Senator John Sherman, Of Ohio,
was nominated.
Many Representatives assembled in
the hall OF the House yesterday, and
much interest was manifested in the
question Of who would be the repub-
lican nominee for Speaker. The New
York members were strong in thor
support Of Hisoock, and he was thought
likely to secure the nomination. The
other prominent candidates for the
honor were Messrs. Reed, Long and
Mckinley. Mr.. Reed through, it is
aurmised, the assistance Of Hon. James
G. Blaine secured the nomination. and
will now be looked upon as the leader
Of the minority. The session is likely
to be one Of sensations. It is reported
upon good authority that prominent
Senator will introduce q resolution as
soon as the Senate lie organized, to in
vsstigate the affairs Of the Pan. Flee.
trio Telephone Company, with the
purpose Of developing evidence to im.
peach the Attorney General.
The election to the Speaksrship Of
Mr., Carlisle by the democrats was a
foregone conclusion and occasioned no
surprise. The caucus Of both Senate
and House democrats was remarkable
in that for the first time in many years
not breath Of diacord was visible.
As predicted in my letter Of last
week, the President on Wednesday
last appointed Mr.. Albert A. Wilson
az Marshall OF the District of Column
bia. The selection Of Mr.. Wilson gives
general satisfaction. He has for many
years been identified with the District
democracy, and the citizens consider
his selection as an indication that the
President fully recognizes the evils
and injustice which have heretofore
ensued from alien rule. and that II Il
his intention to appoint Oitissns Of tbs
District to gil the offices within the
District.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5, 1885.
Msssrs. Editors: Washington has
assumed all the hustle and activity
characteristic Of the National Capital
at the commencement Of an important
session Of Congress. The hotels are
filed with strangers. It is generally
believed that the coming session will
be The most interesting since the war.
Most Of the Members and Senators are
in town, and will be present at the
opening Of the session, though q ma
jority have arrived during the past
two or three days, and offer as an ex-
cuse for their dilatoriness the fact that
as they believed that a very long cam
paign was before them they desired to
devote as much time as possible TO
home affairs before leaving. There
are but few who think that the session
will be finished before next August.
Members appear, generally, to be re-
luctant to commit themselves with re-
gard to any Of the important matters
that will demand their attention dur
irg the session, though it is generally
thought that the Senate can be de-
pended upon 10 take conservative
action upon most of the important
questions. There seems to be hest
fancy among the members about touch
ing the financial questions. There are
nearly as many different theories

THE attempt to prevent the importa-
ton of a German band under contract as
a violation of the new law against the
importation of labor, seems to be stretch
Ing the thing a little too much. Whether
the law can be made to cover such cases
Is extremely doubtful. If such Is really
the intention of the law, no opera troupe,
theatrical company, circus, or any SINH
lar organization, with whom a contract il
made abroad, can enter the United States.
This certainly would be absurd, as snch
troupes are not laborers within the COM
mon acceptatlon Of the term. Such a
law, however, could easily be evaded by
the p~ostponement of the contract-makine
until after landing In this country.

Some weeks ago, in q cut on the Cascade

THE POLICE COURT CLERK.

It Is very fashionable whether the
proposed change in the ordinance intro
duced at the last meeting of the
council with regard to the clerk of the
police court should be made. In the
first place the Office of clerk was created
not merely for ths purpose of relieving
the police judge from the %drudgsry of
writing up hls docket. but as a check up
on the two officers. 1t Was intended
that the Judge should handle no funds,
ana that the fines and costs collected in
the court should pass through the hands
of the clerk, who should keep the
records, and that the records should be
subject to the supervision of the judge.
In this way each would check the other.
This system does not necessarily cast any
reflection upon the present In
cumbents, nor does 1t imply
any lack of confidence in thei.- honesty
but there may a time come when a dis
honest man will be elected to the Judge
ship. In such an event this system
would prevent him from appropriating
any of the city funds, and to guard
against such contingency it Is important
that this plan be strictly carried out
Formerly the Judges of the court de-
rived their Income from the costs OBJ
tanned from the various offenders, bu'
this was found to be a source of corrup'
practices and impositions. 1t was not al
unusual thing to remit fines and collec
the costs alone, which, of course, wen
into the judges pocket, while the cit.
got nothing. The offender might b.
able to pay one or the other, blu
not both, and in such a case tn
Judge naturally looked out for his owl
interests and collected the costs. II
some instances judges Of the police cour
have actually made no record of any sor
with regard to parties arrested for sari'
GUS offsnses, who were let off upon psyini
the so.called costs.
1t Is now proposed to take the appoint
ment of the police court clerk from tn
mayor and confer the power upon tn
police Judge. 1t is a serious question
whether the appointing power can be 81
transferred legally. If, however, Their
is to be any change in the present ordi
nance we should regard 1t as much NOR
%proper for the appointment to be made a

Hundreds of men, women, and evsu

of the court should be held accountable

easily do the work and have plenty
of time to spare. We say, with all due
respect to the present judge, that for his
own interest 1t will be better for him to
have nothing to do with the appointment
of the clerk. We might name judges OF

but who have not by any means added

in which they have exercised the priv

THE friends of General Rosecrans, who
have been looking around for a fat office
for him, think that the collectorship Of
the port OF San Francisco will suit him.
This is the best California office In the
gift of the president, and it Is said that
the general will receive the support of the
Grand Army Of that state. He was the
former Grand Army commander In Cali
fornia, and this backing will probably
overcome any opposition from politicians.
1t is very likely that he will succeed in
securing this appointment, as he Is also
warmly endorsed by prominent republi'
cans and newspapers. The San Fran
cisoo Cal says ''there is nothing really
that can be said against General Rose
GRAMS, except that he has no technical
knowledge of the duties of the office hi
aspires to, but he is a man of high honor
and certainly Of sufficient intelligence tt

that an Indian Is not eligible on the
ground that while a member of a tribe

In legal contemplation competent to lake

duties, and besides there is strong doubt
as to the competency of an Indian In the

a new and inviting field for the democratic

that Is that ne republican ofice'seekel

Anecdotes of Grant.

Ex-Staf Officer in the Boston Traveller.
Grant had no fear of responsibility, no
fear of Secretary Stanton. never knew
him to chow fear Of anything. In Sep.

returning from a visit to Sheridan. he
learned that Wade Hampton had slipped
in In the rear of the left flank of the
Army of ths Potomac and carried eff our
entire beef herd, 1900 head. When
Secretary Stanton heard of the loss Of the
cattle he wanted somebody's scalp, and
telegraphed: "Who ia responsible for the
loss of the cattle herd2' To which Grant
replied, 81 am" There was no chair
raised" that time. For several days
afterward the 'rebs," with much "moo-
ing" and Glowing" frequently called out:
"Hello, Yanks, don't you want some
beef" While this was going on the sold
man would jokingly say: 81 have the
best commissary In the army; he not
only feeds my, army, but that Of

months after this that he directed the

ACCORDING to his confidential circular
the postmaster. general requires no more
proof of offensive craftsmanship than the
affirmation on the part of a senator or
representative that the postmaster has
been the active editor or proprietor of a
republican newspaper, printing offensive
articles, easily shown by slips, or has
been a stump speaker, member of a po-
lItical committee, etc. How fortunate II
Is that Postmaster Coutant has not been
an editor or a stump speaker, and that
there are no democratic senators or rep
re~sentatlves In Nebraska to patch up evi.
dence against him. But how about the
new postmaster at Kearney? Mr.. Villas
In appointing a democratic editor al
postmaster, has made an offensive par
tisan out of him, and has done what hi
virtually denounced In his confidential
circular. That Is consistency, indeed.
