appointments with him. such as Vice

administration, Ben Butler. After he had
shaken several hundred hands and had his
lunch. the President settled down to an
afternoon of steady work on some OF the
more important pending appointments in
preparation for to-morrows cabinet meet
ing Later in the day he went out for his
regular airing. He gets to bed
usually great deal earlier than
his predecessor. He is trying
to take good care of himself. but he al
ready shows the wear and tear of his place
Mrs. Harrison was temporarily lnals-
posed this afternoon, so Mrs. Mckee, Mrs.
and Russell Harrison received those ladies
who were admitted to the red parlor.
Seventy-six office-seekers who Went to
the departments to see the nomlnatlons
come in, after vainly trying to see the
President, were disappointed with the four
marshals who we're sent in il the first patcn
but the second batch, bringing the appoint
ments up to fifteen cheered their hearts
even though their names were not on the
list. Fifteen a day would not'be so bad

A FIRM CLOSE ON THE BOURsE.
M 3ney to Be Advanced to Help Out
the Compton d'Escompte.

PARIS, March 1S.-At the close of the
bourSe to-day Compton d'Escompte shares
were 100 francs, Societe des Metaux So
francs 25 centimss and Rio Tinto 800 francs
% confines The bourse was generally
firm, especially for rentes and foreign secu-
rites.
1t is expected that negotiations will he
concluded this evening for an advance to
the Compton d'Escompte of 10000, 900
francs. of which sum the Bank of France
will advance 100000 francs without hav-
ing prior claims as in the case of
the first loan; the Rothschilds and
the syndicate chamber 5000, 900 francs
each, and other financial houses the bal
ance, A total: of 100000 francs
will be advanced on the condition of the
transference of tho entire patd-up capital
OF the Compton d'Escomte, The Bank of
France will have priority to tae extent of
$4,000, 900 fra4cS. 1t Is considered doubt
full if the remaining 60,000,000 francs will
be covered by the assets from the lquida-
tion of the Compton d'Escompte, but the
contributors to the advance will have prior
IT, in the reconstruction of the bank.
M. Michau, formerly president of the
chamber Of commerce, has been ap-
pointed hquidator of the Compton
d'Escompte. A commission composed
Andre. NJ. Sabreyan and N. Boch, has been
nominated TO compile the statutes OF the
new Compton National d'Escompte, the
president of which will be either NJ. de
Normandie, III. Hottinguer or NJ. Gorminy.
Nothing is said about the privilege of pri-
ority in subscribing being extended to
shareholders of the original concern.
LoNDON'S CLOSE.
LONDON, March 1S-The stock exchange
opened firm to-day, but prices became
irregular this afternoon, owing to various
rumors respecting the Societe des Metaux
and Compton d'Escompte. Rumors of a
run on the Bank of France were quickly de-
MED, and all the markets showe1 a better
tendency at the close Copper closed at 93S.
The failure of the London agents of the
Societe des Metaux to meet its engagement
compelled the forced sale of $50 tons Of
copper. The idea spread that the whole of
the Societe des Metaux's metal would be
thrown on the market Immediately. Such
a thing cannot happen, however, because
banks hold it as security against advances,
and will only realize on it on opportune
occasions.
NO SIGNS OF A PANIC.
New YORK, March 18-In answer TO a
telegram of Inquiry, the Paris correspond
ent Of the Associated Press replies. There
is no sign of panic here On the contrary,
prices are firmer, and both the bourse and
petit bourse closed very calm.n

The Lawyer for the Appellants not
Ready 80 Argue.
WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The case Of
Crossand White, the defaulting bank officers
of Raleigh, N. c., was to have been argued
in the supreme court of the United States
to-day, but w. r. Henry, counsel for Cross
and White, appeared before the court
shortly before the time set for tire argu-
ment, and made motion to have the order
set aside by which the case was
advanced and assigned for hearing to-day.
AS Mr.. Henry had not advised the counsel
for the state OF North Carolina Of his inten-
ton to make the motion, the court an
nounced that the case would be passed over
for the present, and that it would reserve
its decision on Mr.. Henry's motion until the
counsel on the opposite side could he heard
thereon. 1t is probable that the case will
be postponed until the term Of court in Oc-
tober next.

FREMONT, ONO March 15 1882.
MY DEAR SRI thank you for the privilege
of uniting with the New York citizens commit
tee in their patriotic and charitable work in
behalf of the disabled and destitute soldiers of
the late confederacy. The time is plainly draw
ing near-if it has not already come-when JUS
tice to its defenders will require the national
government to expend much larger sums than
have heretofore been appropriated for the sup
port Of the men who saved it. The sacred
obligation to the union soldiers must
not will not be forgotten nor neg
lected, especially by those who have shared
in the fullest measure the prosperity which has
come from the services, and sacrifices of those
who stood by the government when it was
imperied. But those who fought against the
nation cannot, and do not, look to, It Tor relief
Their disabled and destitute comrades are left
to the generosity and bsnefactions of their more
fortunate fellow citizens who wisely forecast
the inspiring future OF our country. The con-
federate soldiers and their descendants
are to share with us and onr
descendants the destiny Of America. What
ever therefore, we. their fellow citizens can
do to remove burdens from their shoulders and
to brighten their lives, is surely in the pathway
of both humanity and patriotism. With my
contribution to the enterprise. l beg you to ac-
cept also my best wishes for its success l re-
main sincerely yours,
