WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, June 10, 1885,
Harrison will give anti-Mahone Vir-
giniarepublicans hearing tomorrow.
A delegation of Virginia negroes call
ed at the White House Saturday.
They say that Harrison told them
he did not propose to recognize Ma
hone. But as e.of this delegation
expressed it: "It's mighty queer if
Malone isn't recognized by the APP
pointing power, that every man APP
pointed to federal Office in or from
that State happens to be a shouting
MahOnite," While this crowd is
quarrelling over the spoils, demo-
Gratis here are looking forward to car
tying the State by much larger ma
jority than Cleveland and Thurman
did.
Disappointment at not receiving an
Office is having bad effect on James
Jackson, of Alabama, who was a can
dldate for the District Attorney-ship
given to Parsons the engineer of the
"white mans party" fiasco. He is
in such a bad way that his family
has been telegraphed to come on.
He is crazy.
Among the appointments by Har-
| rison last week were a democrat and
negro. The negro was made re-
ceiver of public moneys at Hunts
vile, Ala, and the democrat, Mar
shall of the western district of Louisi-
ana.
Two hours a day is the time given
by the members of Harrison'S cabi-
net to seing the public. Quite eX-
elusive these gentlemen are growing.
Col. j. C. Kelton has been appoint
ed Adiutant General of the Army, to
succeed General r. G. Drum, recent
ly retired. He has been General
Drums assistant for several years.
Ex-senator Riddleberger is max
ing himself the laughing stock at
Washington by his antics. If he is
not sent to an inebriate asylum soon
it will be too late.
There is a rumor here that Patrick
Eagan, recently appointed Minister
to Chill, had been recalled on account
of the revelations in the murder case
of DR.. Cronin at Chicago. The ru-
NOR is denied at the State depart
ment.
p. NJ. G. Wanamaker is anxious to
stop the handling of the mails on
Sundays. The business men of the
country would be likely to vigorous
ly protest against such a move. The
Western Union Telegraph Company
would probably pay Wanamaker
more than he paid for his position il
he could stop all mails on Sunday. 1,
would be worth at least one million
dollars per year to that concern.
Julius Caesar Burrows, the Michi
gan Congressman, whose principal
J distinction is the possession of a voice
, that is pretty good imitation of q
fog-horn, and who hopes to beSpeak'
: err of the next House of Representa-
tives, is very much troubled for feal
that the wicked Democrats will give
the Republicans trouble when thu
time comes to organize the House
J 1t is a pretty commentary on thu
rules governing that body for Bur
, rows to say that with the assistance
, of one experienced member hi
! could keep the House in a dead
! lock for the two years its existence
Secretary Window has, in defer
l ence to a wide expression of condem
nation, refused to accept the opinion
of the Solicitor of the Treasury, tina
: it would be unlawful for the Catholi,
University of America, that is to b.
established in this city, to bring from
Europe corps Of instructors. TIL
matter has been referred to the Gen
eral and if he decides the opinion o
the Solicitor to be good law the off
GERS of the University will go to Con
gress in order to get an amendmen
=, to such an absurd law.
