,OLOUITT'S BRIGHT KNIFE
BRYANT, WADE AND DARNELL
SOON TO PERISH.

Gen. P. M. b. Young Recommended for
a Foreign AppOIntment-Nelms Selec-
tion Apt to be Announced To-day
Ravliss w. Hanna ExOnerated from the
charges Against Him and to Go to
Persia.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-Senator Col
7uitt will try to 90 home tomorrow. He
had another pleasant interview with the
President to-day. 1t is understood that
he recommended Gen. P. NJ. B. Young
very strongly for foreign appointment,
and that Mr.. Young is likely to get it.
MFR. Colauitt's main business here was to
secure the appointment of j. w. helms,
At Atlanta, for Marshal of the Northern
district in place of Marshal Bryant, who
has resigned rather than to be suspended.
The determination TO appoint Mr.. Nelms
will probsbly be announced tomorrow.
If ia expected that Marshal Wade and
District Attorney Darnell, Of the South
ON district, will shortly resign rather
than to be suspended
HANNA's HONOR UNTARNIsRED.
IT is stated by well informed Indiana
men that the President, after investlga-
n tiop. is satisfied that the charge made
4 against Bayliss W. Hanna, Minister to
q Persia, of receiving pay for using his in
i fuence in favor of an asprant for a post
n Office is baseless. Immediately upon the
q publication of the fact that such charge
q mad been made Democratic and Republi-
can politicians and Democratic and Re
n publican newspapers alike fastened to
pronounce it unwarrantable. The investi-
n cation which has been made has resulted,
ii is said, in establishing the fact that
the business transaction out of
which the charge grew was wholly regu-
N lar, Mr., Hanna has already filed his
bond and received his commission as
Minister to Persia. 1t is said tnat his re-
quest for an exchange to the Argentine
Republic has been denied, and that he will
soon be ordered TO Persia.
The following mail messenger service
change has been made in Florida: Ferry
Pass and Escambia, Escambia county,
N from the Pensacola and Atlantic Rail-
n road, curtail route to the end at Escam-
bia. The following star service has been
4 discontinued in Florida: Plant City to
Barlow, from July l, 1885.
The report is revived that on July 1
ex-COngressmAn George Post, of Pennsyl-
yania, who was the executive officer of
the Democratic Congressional Committee
last summer, is to be appointed to the
new position of Second Assistant Secre-
tary OF the Interior.
II The WHlIE HOOSE CONCEfSdSs
Considerable feeling is manifested that
the President has not yet given the order
for the concerts by the Marine Band in
the White House grounds which have long
n been the feature of Saturday afternoons in
summer. EVERYBODY goes to them and all
B classes mingle with the utmost freedom.
q The music does not begin till O'Clock
and lasts only an hour, and many are
found who threaten the dire Indignation
.eAl, II 4 N,,v, 10. Oh,
definite information on the sub
ject has yet beea given, but l
n hear it is probable the concerts will
begin on tomorrow. At the same
time, if the President has a feeling that
he would like greater seclusiOn for the
grounds he will discover much sympathy
Y Tor that view. Music, laughter and pry-
ing eyes do not always charm man tired
out with work, and though an organ may
delight my next door neighbor, l have
right to object to its activity before my
house.. The President happens to have a
band instead of an organ, but who shall
say he has not the right of any private
citizen to ''tell the music TO move avayP
Still he's an uncommonly good natured
citizen, and the concerts are sure to come.
PERSISTENT oFFICE-sEEKER.
One Of the quaintest ofiice-seekers who
has fOated down to Washington since
March is William H. Condor. Of Chi
cag0 who is here after the Italian mis-
sion, and who does not propose to leave
Without 1t. Condor is a character. His
papers, If spread out. would cover nearly
an acre of ground. When be arrived he
went over to see Secretary Bayard with n
immense book under his arm
Which resembled in size and ap-
pearance directory of the
city Of Chicago. 1t was filed with names.
and he told the Secretary that all of the
gentlemen represented in the book were
backing him for the place. Upon OBJ
serving what he thought was a look OF in-
eredulity upon Secretary Bayard's face,
be suggested that he should write to any
OF the addresses so as to prove his state
ment. The Secretary declined, as mat
YER OF course. saying that he had 100
much business TO attend to to waste
Time on that kind of work, and
Condon left him in a rather perpleXed
frame Of mind. His latest scheme is be-
ginning to bear fruit, judging by the re-
marks Of some of the State Department
cierNs who are obliged to handle his
papers. He has secured the services Of a
regular Board of CanvasseTs, and the en-
ure city Of Chicago is being ransacked
rom cellar to garret for letters and petit
ons In COndon's behalf. They have
JUST begun TO come in. Every mail
DIlngs scores OF letters and petitions,
"hlle Condor floats through the hotel
corridors here night and day, hoping to
pounce upon some unwary statesman and-
set bis support. he is the most persis-
%nt and methodical applicant for Office
,uat has yet appeared: but those who are
Unusually well informed upon such mat
sets say that he is more liable to be struck
