John 5. Wise called at the White House
to-day accompanied by forty or fifty people
from Virginia with sa chefs and grip sscks.
He secured them an introduction to the Pres-
dent and also permission TO walk through
the lower rooms of the house. 1t is under
stood that not q word was exchanged by the
President with MIR Wise nor any of his party
on the subjects ofpoltics or offices. When
Mr.. Wise appeared. it was rumored that
having seen the newspaper account OF Gen
eral Mshone's recent visit to MIR. Harrison,
he had come with q bigger delegation to
offset any favorable effect that visit might
have produced. II Mr.. Wise had any such
intention, he must have made the most OF his
time, for short as WAS General Mahone's
visit. his own was even shorter. Respecting
General Mahone's visit, Representative
Bowden of Virginia, who, with MIR. Hatton,
accompanied the Geaeral when it was made,
says Mr.. Harrison gave him a cordial recep-
ton and appointed day when they could
have longer talk.
