WAsHINGroN, ID. c.. March 29.-Sen-
ator Faulkner came down from Mar
tinsburg to-day and expected 70 remain
here. but advices he received by tele-
graph from the bedside of his sister-in-
law, who has been lowering between
life and death for weeks, decided him
TO return home again this evening.
In conversation with the REGISTER
correspondent, just before taking the
train, the Senator spoke with some feel
ing Of the attempt Of q Wheeling Re-
publican paper 20 make political capital
. out of the fact that be has been absent
from the city, although the editor OF
the paper knew that his absence was
caused by his attendance at the bedside
OF member Of his family, who is In a
dying condition.
The Senator said be was panied and
surprised at these publications und er
the circumstances.
Senator Faulkner and Representative
Anderson went 20 the White House to-
day and saw the President in relation
10 the case Of General Watts, and the
Charleston pOStmasterShip. The Sens-
tor said be felt no doubt, from the Ut
terances OF the President, that General
Watts would be appointed 10 the Dis
trlct AttOrneyship. Ia was now simply
matter Of getting the papers into
shape, he thought, and this would be
done In a few days. Senator Camden
also said to-day that be now felt quite
confident OF Mr. Watts appointment.
The doubts regarding Col. Milier's
nomination 20 the Revenue Commission
ershiD also seem 20 have been dispelled
BY recent developments.
Gen Watts returned here to-day.
= Mr.. R. f. Kidd, Of Gilmer, also came
TO town, no doubt ready 70 again enter
the field for the District AttOrneyship
IL be should find General Watts not
likely To get it. Mr. Kidd was accom-
panied by Delegate French Hayes and
Mr.. =. A. Hayes, OF Gilmer, who came
along TO help him in his campaign IL it
was found exDedient TO make one.
Assessor Stump, Of Gilmer, was also
one OF the party.
Hon. William E. Chiffon got here
from Charleston this morning aud went
with Senator Faulkner and Represent
atlve Anderson TO see the President.
The nomination Of Mrs. Kenna for
DOstmistress at Charleston, is expected
10 be- sent % the Senate any day now.
Mrs. Kenna and her family will remove
TO Charleston in a few days, her house
here having been vacated.
Mr.. J. B. SOmmeryille, Of Wheeling,
candidate for District Attorney, came
back 20 Washington to-day. Repre-
sentative PendletOn will take Mr.. Som
merville, Mr.. Kidd and Captain Della
plain. who is a candidate for q French
consulship, % see the President tO-mOr-
row morning. The cOnSUlship TO Hayre
having been given out, Captain Della
plain now wants either Bordeaux, Ly-
ons or Marseilles.
Mr.. Pendleton arranged for an inter
view this afternoon between Prof Mar
cellus Marshall, OF Gilmer, candidate
for Commissioner Of Indian Affairs, and
Secretary HOke Smith. Prof. Marshall
had 3 satisfactory talk with the secre-
tary, and feels much encouraged.
AFATIGUING DAY.
This was the most fatigulng day the
President has had since his inaugura-
tion, aud he was completely tired out
after three hours and a half talk with
Senators, Representatives and office
seekers.
Ibid any Of them get away?" asked
the President, when Senator Palmer en-
tered his office az the head Of a group
OF about twenty.
II think not sir; there appears TO be
a quorum present" answered Senator
Palmer grayely, as he ran his eye over
the group.
Tn this delegation was Mr.. J. J.
O'Donael. Of Chicago, who is a promi-
nent candidate for the Office OF Public
Printer. He informed the President
that he desired the Office because be be-
lieved that his long experience as 3
practicel printer and binder fitted him
for 10. His supporters, he sale, were
largely among business men and polti-
clans. After he had explained bis mis-
sion to the President, the latter re-
marked 70 him: why, you are Just the
kind Of a man I am looking for.
The departments were thronged with
visitors to-day, mostly political, who
made up for the time they were COM
PEELED to lose yesterday. The Secre-
taries had scarcely a minute 70 them
selves and were practically unable g
attend 70 the regular departmental
business. The question has arisen
as to the expedieney OF spending
the Presidents order prohibiting the re-
ception of visitors az the departments
on cabinet days so as 70 include one or
two more days OF the week. 4 to-day's
experience is repeated thrcA AgbOut the
week the heads Of departIf hnts will
have to transact all their of4 4ial busi-
ness on Tuesdays and Fridays and sur
render the remaining four SECULAR days
OF the week TO the Office seek ker and mis-
friends.
