Special Dispatch 10 The Appeal
WASHINGTON, March lS.-As was fore
seen in these dispatches Of the llth instant,
the contest over the vacancy exist
ing in the Office OF Marshal for the North
ern District OF Mississippi has resulted in
the selection OF John S. Burton, OF Holly
Springs, for the place. Today his nomina-
---tion was sent to the Senate, and II is ex-
pected that it will be confirmed in short
time. There will be no opposition made
to this action on the part OF the two Mis-
sissippi Senator'S, both OF whom character
lied Burton as a clean, good man, likely to
make an able executive officer. DR.. Bur.
toms principal opponent was Col. J. l.,
Morphis, Of Pontotoc, a Congressman and
ex-Marshal. This appointment is sufli-
cient evidence Of the correctness OF the in
formation contained in these dispatches
with regard TO the plan to be followed by
this Administration in the distribution OF
patronage. DIR. Burton owes his selection
to the support of the gentlemen who are
contesting the Congressional seats in Mis-.
sissippi-Chalmers ct al.-who are being
recognized us the leaders Of the Republican
party in their respective districts.
Every appointment made today, outside
OF those from the State Department and
OF the heads OF bureaus, is to I'LL an exist
ing vacancy, and IL can be reiterated that
II will be some time before President Har-
rison begins 10 cancel commissions.
Col. ii. G. Powers, Of Starkville, Miss,
was one OF the several disappointed ones,
when he found today that Mr.. Mason, OF
West Virginia, had been appointed Com.
missioner OF Internal Revenue.
Capt. Geo. Buchanan, OF Holly Springs,
and Messrs. Alcorn, Mckee and Dowd, oi
Jackson, are all here expecting the light.

Ill they have been fully heard; but in the
meantime practices in the North that
have been Justly complained of, and
which have oil appeared to be uniustifia-
Bile, should not be continued. That should
be distinctly understood. | trust that
after saying so much we shall not two
weeks hence have complaints brought
to us that these practices have been going
on in the meantime. Parties must not
take the redress OF wrongs into their own
hands when the legalityof what they COM
plain OF is, to say the least, very doubtful.
They ought TO remember, too, that though
the hearing is suspended two weeks, the
law is not suspended; that remains in force,
and its penalties are in the meantime pro-
nounced against yiolatoH just as much as
though no such continuance had been
taken. l trust, after what has been said,
We shall not hear complaints like these we
have been hearing all along, while this in
vestigation remains over. ! trust, also,
that II there Is occasion because OF all that
has been dono TO make complaint, that
the parties will not take the remedy into
their own hands"
Mr.. Green circular was issued by
the commission week ago relating only
TO the case, rs | understood, where the
carrier had filed tariff in pursuance Of
the order Of March o. As understand Il,
one of the companies that has been rep
resented has filed no such tariff showing
what the export rate is. In other words,
showing by nomination or otherwise that
the export rate is the same on the inland
and the ocean rate. and the question,
which II seems 10 me Is quite an important
one, and will be during the interim, is
whether that practice Is In accordance
with the present views OF the commission,
or whether that company, like the others,
should file its tariff, showing its export
rate Us fixed rate, instead OF changing II
from day to day.
Chairman Cooley-I suppose all parties
understand that wo regard that order OF
March O, 1852, ~ in force, and we expect
Il to be complied with until we change IL.
That is the law, as we understand il. We
made IL because We supposed we had a
right ITO make IL, and there will be no
change made In that regard until after this
conference Is concluded.
Mr.. Hayden (oi the New York Contral)
AS ! understand II, that goes with the
addition TO II, that in case of an iDreaso
ten days notice shall be given OF the In
creased rate, and II reduced thp. days
notice shall be given OF the reduction.
Does my understanding agree with the
understanding of the commission2
Tho Chairnan-Yos, sir, that In tho
understanding.
Thoreupon, at go o'clock pm, the
commission adjourned
Tuesday, April ?, was fixed upon as the
day when the Southern carriers will be-
heard in the matter OF export rates, and
the methods OF computing them.
The commission will give n hearing 10
