Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-05-18
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,

WASHINGTON, May H.-This being
Cabinet day, and very hot Cabinet day,
the aggregation Of visitors at the White
House was small and mainly uninteresting.
The only Senator to appear on the scene was
Mr. Evarts, who is SO used to go to the
White House on Cabinet days that he can t
stay away, and is so spare in flesh that the
hottest weather makes him shiver. He
goes to see Mr. Harrison merely TO suggest
possibility that be has some influence, but
everybody here knows that Senator Hiscock
is recognized as the Quay of New York.
A very few Representatives strolled lazily
to the white mansion glaring in the sun
light. Among them was Judge Bound, ex-
Congressman of the Harrisburg District
who went to find ont if he couldn't get q
little comfort from headquarters in his pur-
suit of Treasury appointment. Mr.. Har-
rison received him kindly, but made no
promises
TWO OF THE REWARDED.
The two appointments which excite most
attention to-day are those Of L. W. Haber-
corn and John R. Lynch, of Wisconsin and
Mississippi, respectively, to the positions Of
Fifth and Fourth Auditors of the Treasury.
Mr.. Lynch is the colored ex-Congressman,
and Mr.. Habercorn is one of the ablest and
most popular correspondents on ''The Row."
He has for some years resided in this city as
correspondent of the Milwaukee Herald
and the St. Louis WeStliche Post. During
the campaign he was called to New York
by Senator Quay to handle the German end
of the work in New York, and so we'll did
he do his duty that he got exactly what he
asked-the Fifth Authorship, which is
worth s., 500 year, without hard work.
Now that the President has begun dis
pensing favors to the colored men, BY max
ing Lynch Fourth Auditor and Townsend
Recorder of the Land Office, Captain Robert
Smalls, of Beaufort, S. c., does not see why
some Of the droppings OF the sanctuary
should not fall upon him. He has had as
strong Endorsements for the Office of col
ector of the port as any Office hunter, white
colored, has had for any Office, and yet
appointment strangely hangs fire.
HARRISON NOT SENTIMENTAL.
neral Gof, of West Virginia, called on
President on Monday, and suggested
that was the anniversary of the day
5malls. when q common seaman, stole
vessel and delivered it to the Union
=. ~, it would be graceful act to appoint
the Captain on that day. But the Presi-
dent is not easily affected by sentimental
considerations, and he has not yet sent for
Smalls The Office is worth 1000 a year,
and fees up to the sum of $1,000. A few
days ago some South Carolinian telegraphed
the President that the business men of
Beaufort were opposed to Smalls So soon
as this became known every white business
man, with the exception of two, in Beaufort
and surrounding towns gave Captain Smalls
q hearty Endorsement.
AMONG THE PITTsBURGERs.
1t is stated at the Treasury Department
that Collector Warmcastle will assume the
duties of his Office on June l, as it will
require the intervening time for the approval
of his bon1 of 500, 900 and the other neces-
sary steps to quality him to take charge.
The rumor is that William Martin will be
the ne1t Pittsburger selected for a foreign
consulate and that his post will be Sheffield
or Manchester.
Mr.. james V. Long is in the city, on his
way home from the meeting of the Amer
ican Fisheries Association at Philadelphia.
He has many friends here who wish him
success In his candidacy for the Florence
consulate.
Senator Quay was reported on his way
here yesterday, and also to-day, but up to
this time be has not appeared. No message
OF his coming has been received at Cham
berlain's, where he will stop when he ar
riyes Some ofthe Pennsylvania politicians
are very anxious in regard to his where
abouts.
