1t looks very much as if the House
would refuse to pass the Edmunds bill,
the object OF which is to put Gen. Grant
on the retired list with the pay of Gen
eral. but would pass bill accomplishing
the same object, but which will name Gen.
Grant as the beneficiary. The House Is
in a rather bad temper with regard to
the Edmunds bill, because it is looked
upon as an attempt to evade the ground
ON which the President vetoed the Fiiz
John Porter bill. In the Fitz John Porter
bin Gen. Porter was named as the one to
be appointed. The House will probably
name Gen. Grant in the bill 1t passes
authorizing the President to place him ON
the retired list. The President said he
couldn't appoint Porter because he was
named in the bill. The House wants to
see If he will veto a bill for Gen. Grants
relief if Grant is named in the bill. a
gentleman who is we'll informed about
such matters says that Mr.. Arthur, in
raising constitutional objections to the
nppointment Of Fitz John Porter because
he was directed to do so by Congress, did
not follow precedents. Gen. Slocum says
IT has been the practice for at least 10
wears for Congress to create offices and
recommend the names of persons to NIL
them. There are three instances of ap-
pointments made upon such recOmmen-
dation by President Arthur.

1t Is said that the richest woman in
America is the largest creditor Of j. J.
Cisco X Son, the suspended New York
bankers. The woman in question is Mrs.
Z. II. Green, to whom. it is said, the firm
owes from 100000 to $1,5CO,0OO. 1t is
also said that, becoming alarmed at the
rdmOrs about the firm recently circulated,
she directed the transfer of $500, 600 Of her
funds to the Chemical National Bank.
The amount was larger than the firm
could command at once, and it was sug-
gested that she allow part OF her deposit
to offset loan made to her husband, who
has represented her interests in the
Louisville and Nashville company. 1t is
understood that tins loan is between $500,
600 and $500, 900. AS Mrs. Green did not
acquiesce in this suggestion the firm had
no alternative but to stop. 1t was re-
ported that Mrs. Green had in the vaults
of the firm about $26,O 900, 600 in securities,
kept there for safety.

1t has been admitted by Apostle Young
that hS-Latter Day Saints have back
slidden Nom the anti-tObacco portion Of

portion Of Slein have become addicted TO
the smoking Of cigarettes. This suggests
the idea that the cigarette may eyentu-

place only after he had been informed
that the President had concluded not to

the quarrel between Speer and Farrow as
in having the right sort Of man appointed

The appointment of Assistant Secretary
OF State John Davis to the vacant place
on the bench of the Court of Claims seems
to have aroused a great deal of opposition
at Washington. 1t is very doubtful
whether Mr.. Davis is qualified for the
place. He is old enough-being nearly
40-but he lacks knowledge of the law.
He is very young-looking man and very
polite. In fact, he does not appear to be
more than % years of age. Davis has had
very little experience in the practice Of
the law. He has held a government Office
about all the time since he became
member Of the bar. The nomination will
be acted uDon probably this week. Some
of the Senators seem to think that the
President is trying to pay his social debts
with the patronage at his disposal.

The Washington Brewery.

Last night the newly refitted Washington
Brewery, the establishment OF Col. H. H.
Horst, on East Park street was thrown
open to his friends and the public, and the
attendance proved the esteem in which the
popular proprietor is held in the city. The
improvements OF the hall have been duly
noticed in tbese columns, and the crowd
which filled the spacious rooms were loud
in praise OF the enterprise of Col. Horst.
The bar is stocked with finest brands OF
wines, liquors and cigars and is presided
over by Louie" one OF the best wet goods
artists in the west, who is ably seconded
by Charly Olsen. "Louie" was formerly
with Luke Murrin of Cheyenne. In order to
give proper eclat to the occasion the cele-
brated Alice band was in attendance and
discoursed some OF it's best selections. 1t is
the intention OF Col. Horst to keep on hand
the finest cold relishes in the shape OF
cheeses, caviare, herring, anchovies and
the like. This is an innovation that will
be appreciated by all who love genuine del
icacies.
