POSTMASTER PEARSON.
Charges Against the Man Backed by ths
New York Independents

Charges Against the Man Backed by the
New York Independents
WAsHINGToN, March I5-The effort that is
being made by the independent Republicans of
New York to retain Postmaster Pearson in his
present position has received rude shock. 1t
will be remembered that, about two years ago,
a lucrative business was carried on in New York
city by private firms and corporations engaged
in the delivery of city letters. In the course of
time these outside interests affected the reve-
nues OF the Office to such an extent that the
Postmaster general had them stopped for violat-
ing the postal laws. A copy of letter has been
unearthed at the Department of Justice, written
by Attorney general Brewster to the President
on this subject March % 1883. In this letter
General Brewster charges Postmaster Pearson
with being an incorporation stakeholder and
director in the Manhattan District Telegraph
Company" one of the corporations engaged in
this unlawful traffic
fully established by the report of the special
agent who investigated the matter, shows Mr..
Pearson to have been guilty of gross violation
or law. First in advising them how to evade it,
and second, when called upon in an official
manner to give the names of all companies yio-
lating the law in this respect he reported them
all except the one he was connected with"
General Brewster concludes his letter by say
ing that Mr.. PearSons conduct merits immediate
and prompt punishment, and recommends his
dismissal 1t is understood that the original
letter is now in the hands of President Cleve-
land. and that the strongest possible influence
will be brought to bear upon him not to reap

THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE.

Names Suggested for the Principal Foreign
Missions-State Department Places.
Washington Special
In all of the talk about the leading foreign
missions there are comparatively few names
mentioned for the four leading missions of Lon
don, Paris, Berlin and st. Petersburg. The fol-
lowing are the only men who have been urged
upon the attention of the State Department.:
Ex-Senators Pendleton and Thurman, Governor
Curtin, Charles Gibson, of ST Louis, and Gen.
Mcclellan. OF these gentlemen two are consid-
cred as out of the question account of their
own disinclination An intimate friend OF Mr.
Mcdonald, who is here says the latter would
not accept any foreign mission. Mcdonald has
other ambitions. He can como to the Senate

Some Minor Treaties To BE Considered, but
Very Little Else.
WAsHISGToS, March 15.-The Senate is likely
to devote its spare time the present week to the
consideration of foreign affairs. 1t is expected
two or three treaties Of minor Importance, and
in respect to which there can be little difference
of opinion, will be reported from the committee
on foreign relations and taken up by the Senate
in executive session. Among them will probably
be the treaty relating to the boundary lines be-
tween this country and Mexico, and the treaty
providing for the rehabilitation of the
We'll and La Abra claim. Mr.. Man
derson's resolution calling for information
in regard to Central American affairs may also
be reported and discussed.
The more important of the pending treaties
have been withdrawn, and the Hawaiian reci-
procity treaty, and that relating to an interna-
tional patent rights system win be held back I'M
til the regular session. The Backbone resolu-
ton viii doubtless be fully discussed tomorrow.
1t is probable that all public business which the
Senate has in hand will be disposed of within
three or four days, andfhe body will then only
await the pleasure of the executive, and will ad-
journ as soon as his important nominations have
been received and acted upon.

An Old Proyero,

Pouting, my darling, because it rains.
And flowers droop and the rain is falling,
And drops are blurring the window panes
And moaning wind through the lane is calling
Crying. and wishing the sky was clear,
And roses again on the lattice twining,
All, WELL remember, my foolish dear,
g IT'S easy to laugh when the sun is shining!"
When the world is bright and fair. and gay,
And glad birds sing in the fair June weather,
And summer is gathering, NIGHT and day.
Her golden chalice of sweets together
When blue seas answer the sky above.
And bright stars follow the days declining,
Why, then, tbs merit to smile my love;
9 'Tis easy to laugh when the sun is shining!"
But this is the time the heart to test
When winter is near and storms are bowling,
And the earth from under her frozen vest
Looks uu at the sad sky mute and scowling;
The brave little spirit should rise to meet
The seasons gloom and the days repining;
And this is the time to be glad, for, sweet,
" tbs easy to laugh when the sun is shiuing"
Wide Awake.

THE SENATE COMMITTEES.
Complaints Over the Geographical Distribu-
ton of the Charnanships.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-The Senate COM
mittees, when they came in, gave pretty general
satisfaction. There is some feeling in the West
because Senator Cullom was not given General
Logan's place on the appropriations committee,
but that it went. to Malone, giving the South
five out of nine, and leaving only two Northern
Republicans on it outside of New England. In
other words, the purse strings are given to Mis-
souri,, Kentucky, Maryland, Virginia and Flor
ida, an inequality that is likely to make trouble,
and to compel a reconstruction of the committee.
The great middle States and largest Western
States are without any representation at all, and
considering that the important legislation is now
nearly all done on appropriation bills, it is a
serious loss to them General Sewell becomes
chairman of the military committee and Conger

important eharmanships in which any change

Another Photograph in Later Years.

Hartford fConn.) Courant.
There is in existence photograph of Gen.
Grant which is of pathetic interest at this
moment. It was taken during the last winter of
the war, while the headquarters of the Army of
the Potomac were at City Point The photo
graph may have been instantaneous, for there is
no appearance of posing for it. Grant appears
in the door of his tent, with one arm raised
grasping the tent pole. He is in the simplest
field uniform, the coat Is unbottoned, and he
wears the soft hat with the twisted cord of the
service. The face is thin and heavy with care,
and the whole figure denotes self forgetfulneSs,
if not detection. The utter absence of parade,
the entire simplicity of the attitude the rude
ness Of surroundings, would advise no spectator
that this was the iron commander of great
armies, the man upon whom the hopes of the
Nation at that moment centered. Upon his skill,
GOODNESS, tenacity, unsuitable faith, millions re-
posed implicit trust 1t was weary waiting;
wealth was wasted in streams, debt was accumu
lating foreign powers were threatening, treason
was brewing precious life was poured out like
water and the land was full of mourning This
General, silent, infexible, stands there at his
tent door, apparently unconscious of observa-
tion not so much looking abroad as communng
with himself, bearing in every line of face and
figure the impress of the heaviest responsibility
and of vicarious suffering. No note of com
plant, no sign of relenting, no consciousness of
the show of power, but just az that moment
patient endurance in his own wasted person of
the woes of an anxious nation. Upon him, at
that instant rested greater responsibility than
upon any other living man; upon him centered
hopes, entreaties, prayers, curses, bitter criti-
cism, brutal disparagement He is in the atti-
tude of bearing it all with the capacity Of suffer
ing and of carrying the burdens of others with
out complaint. which is the mark of greatness
Perhaps if he had failed, perhaps if he had lost
his cause and disappointed the hopes set upon
him. this picture might today have been more
utterly pathetic taan !. U.s. put remembering t.n
suffer before the final triumph of the people
through him, this simple figure is not wanting
in any of the heroic elements that touch the
hearts of men.

Then Why Not Write 1t with Capitale

Atlanta Constitution
Dr. Atticus G. Haygood, in his address at the
dedication Of the Elizabeth Rust Industrial In
stitute for young colored women, at Holly
Springs, Miss said that no colored man or
woman should object to being called negro any
more than German Frenchman should OBJ
ject to being designated by the namo of his
race. Negro, he said, was better term than
the word colored, because it had definite
meaning, signifying the race, but it should be
written with capital IN, like the names Of
other races.
