the Dutch East Indies, the national
budget Of which has shown ali an

by it. An army of about 1900
men has had to be maintained.

Senator Gibson 8 Candidate.

morning seems to have been dc
signed as an official response to an
intimation IN the Timcs-Dcmocrat

first choice Of Senator Gibson Tor

question having been raised as 70 |
the position Of members OF TIE ,
Louisiana delegation il tie matte .
OF Mr.. Jonas candidacy, Il i
proper to state that at the first
general consultation ofthc Senators
and members Of the Louisiana del
cgation, which was held At the Ar
lington Hotel, in this city, IN March
last, Senator Gibson proposed the
name Of Hon. j.. +. Jonas for col
}cctor of customs at The pOrt of
New Orleans.
This nomination. was at once
strongly antagonized and objected
to by Senator Eustis. For tins
statement | have tic direct author
ity of Messrs. Gay, Blanchard,
Iron. King and Gibson il the cE-
act words employed by me.
We do not sec that this dcclara-
lion sheds any additional light
upon the question except to rc;icr-
ate the claim Of Senator Gibson TO
being considered an original sup
porter of Mr.. Jonas. Every public
mantn Washington, from the Pres
,ident down, knows That this claim
lis without foundation; that Il. +.
| Kernochan Was the frs. choice OF
Senator Gibson for that position.
The statement that Senator Gibson
presented the name Of ex-senator
Jonas for collector, at the first gen
cral meeting Of the delegation, can'
not mislcad any person familiar
with the facts.
Senator Eustis never claimed tC
be q supporter Of ex-senator Jonas
He presented The name OF Gen
Fred. \. Ogden at the genera
meeting referred TO, and thus an
tagonizcd Mr.. Jonas. The friend
| of Senator Eustis have only claim
cd that he has acted openly, kindIy
and fairly in his opposition,

lT would appear from the follow
ing, which we clip from the Wits
burg Chronicle, of the 2nd., that
the report circulated through the
press by Martin Mitchell HIMSELF 10
the effect that he had killed three
men near Wittsburg, must be re-
ceived with some degree of allow
ance:
"We have been informed that
Cumming and Bryson still have
their boots on. It seems that
Mitchclfs shots didn't have the ef-
feet he thought they had. Cum
mings was slightly wounded on the
back Of his left hand. Bryson re-
ceiyed bullet in the right side.
His condition is not thought to be
at all dangerous. The unknown
party, who it has since been learned,
was Jas. Erwin, was shot dead.
Cummings and Bryson lcaped into
the water and dived to some bushes
which hid them from the view of
Mitchell, and remained TIL all was
quiet, after which they made good
their escape"

Extract from our Washington
letter:
"What will the administration do
concerning official changes? is a
question that is being very earnestly
asked at this time. There are in
round unmbcrs about 100000 sal
AIRED office holders under the Fed.
eral Government. They are the
regular army of politics, for il means
their bread, Their discipline en-
abled the Republican party to keep
itself in power for halt a century.
Nine tenths Of these officials are
still in position. What is the Pres
ident going to do about IL? A gen
tleman who holds a very response
Bile and prominent appointment un-
der Mr.. Cleveland, and who comes
from powerful state occupying a
a most important political aud geo
graphical position, spoke very plain
ly and fully the other day respecting
the matter of changes. He said:
"No one better comprehends the
necessity for a complete change in
all commissioned officials than does
the President. He is perfectly
aware that the people, in making
the change in presidents last fall,
did not mean simply to put one
man out and another man in. They
meant that the entire system should
be altered aud renovated, and YOU
may depend upon it that is precise
" what the President means to do.
