Washington, July 1.-THE recent ar
rival of Marshal Maratta, in this city,
means business. In the first place,
Maratta has been abused and slandered
in the huuse OF his friends. He has
been traduced and maligned, behind his
back, by those who had professed friend
ship and who had promised to bury the
hatchet. Marntta trusted to the honor
| of those who had no honor. During his
absence from Washington. while he has
| been attending to the duties of his high
Office, he has been villlfied and injured.
| He Is tired of it all, and has come on
| here to settle little dish of hash which
needed attending to. While he does not
feel dependent upon the office which
| came to him almost unsolicited, he has
had natural pride and political hope
| that the senate would confirm the noui-
nation which the president had made.
But he has been singled out as the only
man of all the presidents appointments
for the territory whose confirmation has
been withheld.
| The last Dakota edition OF the Saint
Paul Globe tells the full story of the
| matter IN ve3y succinct manner. The
correspondent shows the falsity of the
statement that Senator Cameron OF
Pennsylvania is opposing Maratta. He
| shows that it is true that the Camerons

reasons for their dislike; but it appears

can say this much: II Maratta is
net eenfrmed by the time the senate
adjourns, he will not be laid aside
