Special to the Globe.


Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, June 11.-CalifOrnia ap-
plicants for positions are in great flutter
of expectancy because of the fact that the
president last night sent to the treasury de-
partment for all the applications Oh file
there for the various positions in the Golden
state. These were duly sent up, and to-
dag we've returned to Mfr. Higgins custody,
though with no intimation of the result Of
their examination. They include two ap-
plications for collector OF customs, several
for surveyor OF the port, two for the sub
treasury, one for superintendent of the
mint, several for appraisers, and others for
minor treasury offices. The custom house
is sought by William d. English, chairman
Of the Democratic state committee, and
Jessie D. Carr, president of the
State Agricultural society, and a
regent of the State university. EX-
Senator Hendricks, cousin of the
vice president wants to be superintendent
of the mint, and is backed by Thomas A.
He has no competitor. Israel Lawton,
formerly of Albany, and friend of Secre-
tary Manning, is talked of for sub-treasurer
against Sam Brooks. The latter's chief
backer is JEFF Davis, who wrote personal
letter in his behalf to Mr.. Garland. The
fight for these positions, and all others in
that state, is very bitter between the radical
wing of the party, who now control the Or
ganization, and the conservatives, or the
element opposed to the proscriptive action
of the notorious Stockton convention, to
which is attributed the defeat encountered
at the polls last fall. Barclay Henley, the
only Democratic congressman in the next
congress from California, backs the radi-
Gals.

Plan to Circumvent Defaulters.

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Amonga a num-
Der Of suggestions made to the secretary OF
the treasury, designed to prevent any repiti-
ton of the recent defalcation at the New
Orleans sub-treasury, is one which proposes
to reduce the amount of government money
at that point to from about SIG, ,000,000 to
$1,000, 900, and to distribute it among
the various national and state
banks Of New Orleans as de-
posits, upon their giving appropriate
security iii government bonds, to be depos-
tied in the United States treasury at Wash
ington. This plan, as submitted to the sec
retary, refers to New Orleans, although evi-
IDENTIFY the purpose of irs originators seems
to contemplate it's extension to other sub
treasures if it should be accepted and prove
satisfactory at New Orleans. No action
has as yet been taken on the proposition or
upon any of the other suggestions above re-
ferred to, but they are all under cOnsidera-

Fraudulent Land Grant Claims.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, June 11.-Commissioner
Sparks has made full report to Secretary
Lamar upon the celebrated Maxwell land
grant claim. The amount of land in the
tract to which the company lays claim is
1,700,0 900 acres. The commissioner de-
clared his conclusion that the claim is
fraudulent for all over 100000 acres. He
even goes to the extent of declaring that
the patent covering the land claimed was
obtained by frauds, and asks that the attOr-
nes general be requested to enter suit to re-
cover the land. Many capitalists of this
country and Europe hold the claim upon the
TRACT. There are some 1900 settlers upon
thedisputed land, and the company has
suns pending against many of them.

Sam II. Dixon and his Book.

We feel some compunctions of con-
science that we have not said more OF
MIR. Dixon's book, "Poets and Poetry
of Texas, with an early copy of which
he was 80 kind as to favor us. Our
failure to do so has been through no
lack of interest or respect, but from
sheer want of time from multifarious
and engrossing business engage,
ments. As this state of things con-
tinues to prevail with us, we will
make such amends as we can by copy
ing the following notice from tho last
number of the Texas Review:
The Poets and Poetry of Texas
is just issued from the press. 1t is
thought that the work will fully fill
the expectations of the subscribers.
This book is a Texas work, and is
something more than poetical scrap
book. The author, Mr.. Dixon, has
labored through the awful drudgery
as biographer of fifty men and wo-
men, and then as an ending, endured
tho roar of printing office, and saw
his book through the press. 1t is
proper to announce that Mr.. Dixon
survived all those troubles. He
should be encouraged, and the work,
on which he has spent years of re-
search and labored on with tho dill
gence of the scholar and the fine APP
probation of the poet, should BIO n
keepsake in every household. Meri-
torious works by Texas men should
be encouraged by all Texans.
We heartily concur with the close
ing remark above, and hence must
condemn the sweeping critique of
the Galveston News of the book I'M
der notice. The News will allow no
merit in the work, and so stultifes
itself, for various contributions of the
authors included firstappeared in the
News, and the writer's have received
its praise
Poets and Poetry" Of Texas is
out Just in time for use as a holiday
present, and is well adapted to that
purpose.

Tho Wandering Washington.

Our regular readers will reeolleci
that IA our ISSUE OF September 18th,
We gave q pretty full account Of Sam
uel T. Washington. a granddaughter
Of General George Washington. who
visited Texas and sojourned for some
time in this county some fifteen years
sinca We also gave somoInteresting
historical records OF this gentleman,
tho proceedings Of Congress upon the
occasion Of his presenting 10 that body
the sword OF George Washington
and the staff OF Benjamin Franklin.
Also a certified copy OF a resolution
OF thanks from Congress which he
boro with him here, and in still to
TO DO seen in this place. Tho resolu'
ton was moved by John Quincy
Adams, after u most eloquent speech
on tho occasion, which wo also pub
lished in tho samo connection. The
singular circumstance OF tho said
Samuel r. Washington having tramp
cd 10 Texas in tho humble guiso OF q
mattress-makor, his sudden death in
this coanty, and tho fact that his rela-
tives, though written TO, never made
any inquiry TO his fate, all conspired
to throw a shadow Of mystery over his
case which We sought to penetrate by
giving wide publicity to the facts,
which wo did through tho medium OF
that issue of the FREE Press. Agen-
tleman of this town, who knew the
address Of some members Of the
Washington family in Virginia, also
sent some marked copies Of the paper
to them. But up to this time, moth
ing has been heard in regard to tie
subject, and it remains involved in i'm
penetrable mystery. What offense
the poor man could have been guilty
OF to DO thus tabooed by his aristo-
cratic relatives, we can only conjec-
ture; most likely it was merely that
of being poor and improvident, than
which, it is well known, there is no
more objectionable sin in tho eyes OF
tho world.
In leaving the subject VIC repeat
what we said in our former article,
that it would in our opinion DO very
proper and graceful thing for thepeo.
pie of Hays county, who in common
with the American people generally
have been taught to reverence the name
of WASHINGTON, to erect to simple head
stone at the grave of this unfortunate
member of tho family, in Kyle Come
tory, bearing his name and place md
date OF death. It need not cost moro
than $25 or $50. We believe it
would only require subscription to
be started by some old citizen of the
county to raise the amount in short
time. Or-inasmuch as tho reputa-
ton of the entire county is involved
as the case at present stands-we
think it would be entirely proper for
the Commissioners to mako suitable
appropriation for that purpose. We
feel sure that the act would DO heart
lily sustained by the patriotic people
of the county.
