THE DISTRICT OFFICES.

There is no office in the District of Co
lumbia, coming within the category of
Presidential appointment which good
men, residents of the District cannot be
found to fill. The material at hand is of
the best quality, There is no doubt about
that.
There are men here capable of filling
with honor any position in the gift of the
Adminstration--men of high standing in
all the professions, men of progressive and
enlightened views on public affairs, men
who have lived here long, and not only
reflected credit on the National Capital by
their genius, but aided largely by their
liberal and well-directed enterprise in
making Washington the beautiful and
prosperous city that IL is. No one can
question for n amoment the practicability of
finding in such a list of worthy citizens
the men to hold all places of trust under
the District government.
The principle, too, is a correct one that
those who are most closely and honor
ably identified with the progress of WASH
ington, who have invested their capital
here, who have borne the brunt of the
great battle of improvement, and who ex-
pect to end their days and leave their
property here should be given preference
in the distribution of the local patronage
at the disposal of the President.
But how is the President TO determine
his choice in the matter? He is, no doubt,
desirous of pleasing the people of the Dis
tlict, if for no other reason because he is
one of their fellow-citizens and expects to
remain here four years at least, and, pos
sibly four years more. But where there
is u general scramble for place it is mat
ter of extreme difficulty to make selections
that will not displease more people than
they please, and where there are so many
factious interests involved, each clamor-
ously protesting its claims to recognition,
how shall he harmonize the discord?
We confess our inability to answer our
own interrogatory; but if THE CRITIC were
n candidate for any Office it would consent
to go into q caucus with the rest of the
candidates, pool its issues for the common
good, make any concession that pointed to
peace, agree to any compromise that would
simplify the situation, withdraw our own
aspirations if called upon to do so, vote for
anything and everything that was decent
to keep the local offices in the hands of
local men, and abide by the action Of the
caucus as though we had sworn to it on q
stack of both versions of the Bible
We do not say that this is the thing to
do, hut it suggests at least the spirit that
ought to prevail and unless our District
friends can come to some amicable conclu-
sion among themselves, it may be that the
President viii find himself compelled, as
the readiest way to solve the conundrum,
to go outside for his appointments and fill
the offices with importations.

GEN. GRANTS SUMMER HOME.

How He VIII he Removed From New
York to Mount MacGregor.
Should the weather be propitious Gen
eral Grant ana his family will probably
set out for Mr. Drexel's summer residence
at Mount MacGregor, eleven miles from
Saratoga, between June % and July 1.
The manner in which the patient will be
removed is thus described by the
Commercial Adr0tiscr:
A close carriage will take him from his
residence to the entrance TO the tracks of
the New York Central Railroad at Forty
sixth street. President Ruttor's private
car will be standing there under the sheds.
The carriage will be driven closely up to
the car and the General assisted on board.
The car Is fitted up in the most comforta-
bic way and, II IS said, affords as easy
quarters as the sick room in his own home.
Mrs. Grant, Colonel Fred Grant and wife,
Mrs. Sartoris, DR. Douglas, and the Gen
erals servants, Henry and Harrison, will
accompany the invalid. Mr.. Drexel will
be ready to receive them ut the MacGregor
cottage.
The start from New York will be made
at q. m. The General will remain
undisturbed until Saratoga is reached.
Here it will be necessary to change cars,
on account of the different gauge of the
Mount MacGregor Railroad and to leave
the palace car for the ordinary passenger
car of the little mountain railroad. The
distance which the General will have to
walk from car to car is about twenty feet
Although the ride from Saratoga to the
mountain is short, if il is found that the
General is exhausted, everything will be
in readiness to transform the ordinary car
intoas luxurious saloon rs it is possible to
make of it. Some of the seats will be taken
out and bed put up. The whole trip
will consume only seven or eight hours
General Grant will remain at Mount Mac
Gregor through the month of July-per-
haps longer. DR.. Douglas and family will
accompany the party and the physician
will be in constant attendance on his pa
tient. DIR. Sands will always be in readi-
ness for n sudden call. DR.. Shrady and
family will go to their country place on
the Hudson, near Kingston, and be within
call in case of emergency. During the
latter part of the summer the Grant family
will go to the Hotel Kaaterskill, and eX-
pect TO return about September /.

One is to the effect that he is secretly
blooming Governor Hill in this State,
through correspondence with political
friends the other represents him as being
dissatisfied with his present salary and
laboring to secure its increase. We speak
OF these statements as falsehoods, because
both are unequivocally denied by the
secretary himself. We desire TO state au-
thoritatively that Colonel Lamont is con-
tent with the salary he now receives; he
went to Washington knowing perfectly
well what it was TO be; he has made no

such an advance. In the second place,
