EXECUTIVE MANSION,

For Nearly eight months II large share
OF the time Of the President has been de-
voted to the hearing Of applications for
office and the determination OF appoint
ments. Much OF the time thus spent has
undoubtedly subserved to the public
good some OF it has been sacrificed 70 the
Indulgence Of people in their natural in
sistence upon useless int-ryiews, and some
OF it has been unjustiiGbly wasted.
The public welfare and due regard for
the claims OF those whose interest in the
government are entirely disconnected with
Office holding itnperatively demand that
in the future the time Of the President
should be differently occupied, and he
confidently expects that all good citizens
will acQ1iesce in the propriety and reas-
onableness Of the following plea: After
November the President will decline to
grant interviews to those seeking
public places or their advocates.
On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri
days during that month from 10 to IL
o'clock in the morning he will receivs
such persons as call on strictly public
business, and on the same days at 1880 in
the afternoon he will meet those who
merely desire to pay their respects. 0a
altother days and times OF that month he
will receive only Cabinet officers and heads
Of Departments.

BIRNIxGuAM, ALA, Oct. 27.--Birmiug-
ham has borne the bruut OF many false
reports about her peoples morals, but
nothing hes so panied her citizens as the
unfortunate shooting Of two young men
last night, at I O'Clock,
Walter Orr, q handsome young Missis-
sippiau who has been here for the past
four years in the livery business, and
Phil GiVsn, 3 clerk in q furnishing goods

lady. Tonight Orr had an engagement
TO carry this young lady to the great re-

Orr at once recognized Phil. Gtvan, his
rival, and at once prepared to defend
himself, as he had previously been warned
that Giyan would ahont him II he ever
caught him with this young lady. Before
the lady realized the impending trouble
Giyan drew his pistol and hogan firing on
his rival, while fhe still held On's arm.
At the A1t discharge she screamed and
ran across the street. Orr drew his pistol,
returning the FIRE. Each had q thirty

that every CHAMBER Of both pistols were

think the other ball penetrated the blad

ball from his pistol he ran into the house
OF friend near by and borrowed another

white crush hat with BLACK band and
in an otherwise extraordinary livery,
and then for three weeks she paraded
Broadway with the short negro on one
arm and her tall white maid on the other.
Then she suddenly dismissed the coiored
attendant, but retained the maid. During
the warm nights OF SUMMER Mrs. Jen.
nings seldom went to bed. She spent the
silent houls in roaming about the hotel

and drive about the city. Daring these
nocturnal excursions she frequently visit

Gonld's dance hall. There she spent
considerable money in wine, AMI for sew.
