Mr.. MOrEaM's Explanation.

APPARENTLY SATISFACTORY TO THE PRESI-
DENT-PROBABILITY HE WILL BE COMMIS-
STONED.
The question Of commissioning Mr.. Morgan,
of South Carolina, as consul at Melbourne was
before the President again to-day. Several Of
Morgan's friends, prominent democrats, as
sured the President that the pamphlet conf
planned Of was written some time prior to the
political campaign of last fall: Morgan states
that he wrote a pamphlet treating of the con-
d1t1on, habits, etc., of the people of Mexico and
south America and that incidentally he as
serted that Secretary Blaine's vigorous foreign
policy ut was when MIR. Blaine was
Secretary Of State) had caused America
and Americans to be much more highly
respected among. those people, that dur
Blaine's friends seized upon the pamphlet and
held 1t up Justification of him and his
policy by a political opponent. Mr.. Morgen de-
clared TO his friends that in writing the pamph.
let he had not the remotest idea of it being used
politically. Morgan also denied the charge
Bedloes island on election day. and not being
qualified to vote there he did not go near the
polls. The President was advised of these de-
tails and Mr. Morgan's friends insisted that the
charges had been set afiOat by a rival aspirant
for the appointment to Melbourne. They stood
ready to vouch for Morgans democracy: The
impression Is that Morgan will be commissioned,
though there has undoubtedly been some
hesitation about it on the part Of the admins
tratiOn. Mr.. Morgan is quite well-known In
Washington. From 1879 to 1881 he was an en-
ploye OF the Senate as messenger of Senator
Buffers committee, and he was then recOg-
nized as q thorough-going democrat. He is to
York, who is quite prominent in the society of
that city.

The Presidents Horses.

Two fine looking seal brown horses for the
President arrived here last evening in q special
car from New York, and were at once taken to
the White House stables They came in charge
of Fl. ]. Mowry, of Syracuse, N. Y, the Presi-
dents agent, who purchased the animals from
A. B. Lewis, of Poughkeepsie. They are thor
9nghbred ,isl.a Haambetonians, grandsons of Rys-
They were born and raised in Onandaga
county, New York, and are half brothers,
five and six years old. They are over
sixteen hands high and weigh 2 300 pounds
They are pronounced by those who have seen
them as fine pair of coach horses as Washing
ton contains. Their tails, which nearly touch
the ground, will not be banged. The pair will
be driven to the landau which is being built for
the President.
Mr.. Arthur's big bays, which he placed at the
disposal OF President Cleveland, will shortly be
sent to New York

Fendall and $. Maddox, OF the committee Of
the Bar assOciation-Mr n. Wilson, the other

the President and Attorney General and pre-
sented to each the resolutions adopted by the
Bar association, requesting in the appointment
OF judges that preference be given citizens of
the District of Columbia. Mr.. Hine acted as
spokesman and presented the question in both

ton. Attorney General Garland said he recog-
nized the propriety of having District man

dent favored such one, all the qualifications

CHICAGO, April 23.-The Rdil,o1y Age to-day

been placed In the hands of receivers from Jan.
uary to March 81, 1855. The total capital
stock and bonds OF these corporations sggre-

core for 1854 gave the total number OF roads
placed In receivers hands as thirty-seven, em-
bracing i OBS miles Of line and 15,0O0,000
OF capital and debt. The first quarter Of this
roads, more than 81 per cent OF the mileage and
about 40 per cent OF the total amount Of capi-

Mr. Kelley Justifies Himsclc.

Gov. Cameron attended the banquet to Mr..
Anthony NJ. Kelley, at Richmond last night.
In acknowledging the compliment paid him,
Kelley referred to the position he took in a
speech in 1871 against Italian occupation of
Rome and said: THAT position was simply a
fundamental axiom of public law-that the in
vasion of the territory ofa peaceful neighbor
violation of the rights of that sovereign. In re-
gard to that position, have no qualification to
make. No honor could compensate me for its
abandonment; it is true and right now and
always. But another proposition OF public law
is equally fundamental, that the aequiescence
of the people OF an invaded state III the change
of sovereigns is, SO far as the world is con-
cerned, the conclusion of the public question. -
It is said that the cabinets decision TO accept
Mr.. Keiley's offer to resign was dispatched to
him from Washington yesterday, and that he
is expected here to-day.

gentleman of Charleston, s. c., gives an
explanation of the demand for confederate
bonds some time ago. He says that Judah p.
Benjamin was the originator of the plan which
created demand for bonds. His story is that
the state department of the confederacy had q
secret service fund which was principally de-
posted In London and Paris banks to the credit
of citizens Of England and France, who were
friendly to the south. The total balance due
the confederate government at the time OF its
fall amounted to $5,0SO, 900. It was finally
concluded that the holders of confederate bonds
were entitled to the money. The bonds were
advertised for and were readily obtained, and
all of the January QS65) coupons were paid
simply by the purchase OF the bonds for the
amount of these coupons and their subsequent
destruction. The remainder of the fund was
next due in order OF their presentation.
