CATION OF Congressman called upon the
President few weeks ago to urge the ap-
pointment of one Of theirsconstituents, for
the position of government printer, they
we're informed that no change would be

The statements in the circumstantial
interview with WinslOw Pierce. a near
relative of the late Vice President Hem
bricks, which appeared IN a New York

the White House. Mr.. Pierce called at
the White House yesterday, but he had
no conversation with the President on the
subject mentioned.
MANNING's RECOVERY.
Secretary Manning said to-day that un-
less some Unforeseen change occurred in
