The Presidents Callers.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The President again
held open house day, and received large
number of visitors, including congressional dele
cations from several States In order to devote
attention to official matters requiring action dur
ing the present especial session of the Senate
it is probable the President will have to deny
himself to visitors for few days Among those
who saw him to-day were Senators Miller,
Maxey, Coke, Cullom, Van Wyck, Voorhees,,
Jones of Arkansas, George, jackson, German,
ex-senator Lapham, Representatives Henderson,
Lamb, Beach, Cullen, Robertson, Morse, Turn

pressed the conviction, at a recent conference,
that it would be found impossible to harmonic
the opinions held by Secretary Bayard as to the
administration policy with those of Secretary
Manning. Mr. Bayard goes into the Cabinet ex-
pectlng to be premier both in name and in fact
and to lead the other members, by reason of his
long party service and familiarity with the af-
fairs of the government, and when his advice is
not followed in the main he will, undoubtedly.
manifest his displeasure in a way that will lead
to trouble. In other words. it is believed there
are elements in the Cabinet which will not as

The intention of all Republicans of the Sena to
is to throw no impediments in President Cleye-
lands way, but to wait and see whether he can
hold his party by him in the policy which he will
pursue, and there is an expectation that he can
not do this in which event the Republicans will
take the benefit to be derived from such a condi-
ton of affairs.
Speaking of the objection to confirmation
raised by Mr.. Riddleberger when President
Cleveland's Cabinet nominations were presented,
leading Republican senator said to-day that, as
lar as his party associates were concerned, they
intend to put obstacles in the Presidents
way, thus letting him assume all the RESPONSE
bility for the character of his appointments. If
he wishes to make removals, the Republicans
will confirm his new appointments witho ut max
ing any fight.

Brufrs Collection of Curios.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-Republican members
of the Forty ninth Congress come principally to
look after pension cases and other routine mat
ters pertaining to the life of congressman.
One of these, who looks very much like Mr. Reed,
OF Maine, in his physical proportions, halls from
Rochester, N. Y. Ex-State Senator Bakeris the
man. He was here only few hours but.when
he left he took with him relic that every man
who wears the symbol Of the M. K. T. will envy
him. In the Treasury Department, under the
supervising architect, is an old gentleman now in
his eighty second year, who has been in the
service OF the government upwards of fifty seven
years. He has filled several important positions
among which was that of draughtsman and
designer. Samples of his handwork are COM
mon at the capital, and many artistic bits of
brlc-a -brac designed by his brain adorn the
homes of others throughout the country. The
immense gold medal voted by Congress to Cyrus
W. Field, on the completion of the Atlantic
cable, was prepared by the old gentleman. His
name is Captain j. G. Brutf, and his home is a
perfect curiosity tits small, old-fashioned
two story brick house, near the dividing line be-
tween Washington and Georgetown. and it is
literally filed with curios. It's greatest attrac
ton, however, carried off by Congressman
Baker yesterday. Mr. Baker is a relative of
Captain Bruff, and is frequent visitor at mis-
home. A few Years ago the Captain exhibited a
treasure which had just been added to his collec.
ton, and which he promised to bequeath to Mr..
Baker. 1t was 60 less than real Toledo sword
blade which had been carried by a
knight Templar against the Saracens, seven
or eight centuries ago. 1t was a rough-looking
specimen of cutlery when first received, as full
Of nicks as the celebrated weapon of Falstaff
and as rusty as the religion of Tom Bradford
Ochiltree. The hilt was battered and the scab-
bard gone, but the blade was there still. Can't.
Bruif sent it to Ames, the celebrated armorer,
and it was returned to him as white
as silver, and as flexible as whalebone.
The owner designed a handle, and
wore his sword at the laying
of the cornerstone of the Washington monu-
ment which he attended as Knight Templar
Up to that time there was no regulation handle
for the Knight Templar sword all that was re-
quired was that it must be black and straight
The design Of Captain Bruff was adopted by the
grand commandery, and every member Of the
organization unconsciously carries a copy of the
blade which was first to bear the handle,
and which is now owned by Congressman
Baker, of Rochester, N. Y, having been
given to him on Sunday.

THE NEW YORK POsTOFFICE.

The MuSwumps Want Pearson Retained,
and the Democrats Want Him Dismissed.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-There are the best of
prospects for frst-class row for President
Cleveland over the New York postofice. Post
master Pearson's term expires on the 2lst inst.
The mugwumps of New York City demand that
he be retained, while tho ultra and genuine
Democrats say he must 60. One of Secretary
Mannings intimate friends, who has just seen
the President on the subject, said this after
noon; IF Pearson is retained in Office by the
President, there will be big howl from the
Democrats; if he is not retained the independ
ents viii kick up row. Certainly, the Presi
dent is in dilemma If he does, he will be
censured; if he does not, he will be cursed. If
occupied his position would tell the mugwumps
to take it out in kicking"
It seems to be the impression that the mug
wumps are to be rewarded. Pearson will be re-
tanned in Office. There's gore On the surface
of the moon.

DiscOrd in the Democratic Ranks Over Dis
tribution of Patronage.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-The distribution of
the minor patronage is already creating great
deal of discord in Democratic ranks The
various Democratic congressman from the
different States have held several conferences
among themselves to agree upon some
system of spoils distribution if possible. Thus
far there have been few results. In such State
as New York, where the politics are divided
about equally, there will be little difficulty It
is probable that the Republican system in vogue
there will govern the new administration. That
is to say, the chairman of the county and con-
gressonal committees will virtually dictate the
appointments of postmasters collectors and
minor officials. 1t is in such States as
Kansas and Minnesota that the diff

Sketch Of the Career Of the Man who Sue
ceeds Senator Lamar.
Washington Special.
General Walthall is man of note in every
capacity in which he has been tried. He first
became known in the South as Colonel of the
Twenty ninth Mississippi Infantry. Early in 1862
he was brigadier general, commanding the eel
ebrated "Diehards," (. Mississippi brigade which
had something of the reputation in the Tennes-
see army under General Johnston that the
old ''Stonewalr brigade attained in the army of
northern Virginia. In 1864 General Walthall
was made major general ''for distinguished
ability and gallantry," and at once took rank as
one Of the most brilliant and plucky division
fighters Of the war. AT one time he was serious
ly considered as commander of the army of the
Tennessee, and at the time Mr.. Davis
was very much inclined to give him that
responsible position, but other counsels
prevailed, and graduate of West Point was
chosen instead. At the close of the war Mr..
Lamar and General Walthall entered into law
partnership, in which the latter owing to the Sc
rious illness for year of Mr. Lamar did all the
work, but shared all the profits with his sick
friend and partner. At present General Walt
hall is the attorney for the New Orleans, jack
son d Great Northern, and Mississippi Central
Railroad Companies. These corporations are
owned and operated by the Illinois Central and
furnish it a connection to the gulf. Besides this
important and valuable position, General Walt
hall has very large practice at the bar-per
haps the most lucrative in the State. He is
man of fine personal appearance Six feet two
in stature, he has a figure almost like West
Point cadet, and is as straight as one of the Mis-
sissippi pines. He possesses voice of wonder
full compass and training while in exactness of
statement and felicity of diction, with just
enough glow and fervor in his oratory to hold
his audience, there are few men his equal AS a
practical worker he will probably be a better
senator than Lamar.

was liable to be called upon for a supper always
an extensive one, at any time of night, while
there was no regularity about the daily meals;
breakfast was served to whomsoever was ready
for it at any time of the morning. Chef Fortin
anticipates little more regularity now, as
