North Carolina upon the recommends
ton Of Senator Ransom, Representative
Cox. and ex-Representstive Davis. The

Carolinian OF color.
GENERAL xAURY.
The statement in the New York Star
bai General Dsbnsy II. Msury was
not confirmed because his disabilities
have not been removed is misleading.
The tue reasons were assigned in yes
terday's Dispa,eA. But, 70 make as
surance doubIy sure, called upon Mr..
Msu,y, Assistant Attorney-General,
who is . kinsman Of the General, and
Intercepted him as TO the report.
alt would be most imprudent act
for any man 20 commit, was his reply.
Il have no personal knowledge Of the
matter, bat / sm quite sure there is no
thing in the statement. General Maury
would not have overlooked . thing OF
that sort. sir, you may take for granted
snd say" The statement is other
wise discredi,ed by the empha.
tic remark already published in
the DispsteA that there are no
reasons, except the absurd story
about the flag, Why the Senate should
not confirm the appointment Of General
Msury Is Minister to Colombia IS soon
as il can reach the matter. Nobody
here seems to know anything OF the
existence Of political disabilities. tits
not believed that there are any.
The fact that the President is going
svsy on q months holiday next Mon
day is construed to mean, in the ab-
sepce Of definite information, that no
danger Of q rupture with Mexico is con-
sdeIed by the Administration.
IMPROVEMENTS.
The resppoiDtments and the m
VOWED question Of authority under the
snended tenure-of-office act constitute,
with the Mexican tangle, the chief
topics of the time. The President
seems TO have no doubt that be has full
power under section 1869 of the Re-
vised Statutes to appoint whom he will
IN vacation. The Republicans say
they will see about it next winter.
Meantime Matthews and the rest get
their salaries. The fact is, the whole
tenure-of-office law might Is well be
repealed, and leave no uncertainty as
to presidential power in anybody's
mind.
