WASHINGTON. March 3O.-The Senate
met as usual to-day, and, as usual. half a
dozen members listened to the doleful sup
plication Of the preacher. whose salary is
about to be confiscated. There are no new
developments in the Roach case, although
Senator Roach himself was on deck soon
after prayers, and looked as if he suspected
that some of the opposition people were GO
ing to give him vigorous Sioux shampoo.
Senator Mitchell Of Oregon, who is dread
fully sore over the appointments Of three
senators by as many governors, obtained the
floor early and spoke the balance of the day,
as If he entertained the idea that he could
liquidste all of his political scores with the
democrats by making them enjoy tired
feeling.
About O'Clock some yellow bulletins
we're posted on the press gallery and some.
body suggested that Georgia was still in
it, AS matter Of fact the President had
sent in a lot Of nominations, among them
that Of Gen. P. M. p Young as minister to
Honduras and Guatemala, sort of hyphen-
ated honor worth $4,000 per annum. OF
course the general is happy tonight and
has key box full of congratulations. tele-
grams and notes. He is going TO marry
Georgia lady before he goes to his mission,
and ia ok Cohen of the Atlanta Journal,
who speaks Spanish like don, may be his
secretary of legation.
JUDGE HALLS GOOD LUCK.
There are exactly four Assistant Attor-
ney Generals, all of when are entitled to
be addressed as general. Hereafter it will
be Gen. John /. Hall of Griffin at a salary
of $1,000 per annum. This nomination
caught the visiting Georgia colonels in the
way OF surprise to-day, for Judge Hall
was really not an applicant, and he will
doubtless feel tickled tonight that he is a
bigger man than be imagined himself to
be. He will be assigned to the interior
department work if he accepts. This Rp-
pointment was likewise a surprise to SEQ
retary Hoke Smith, and it may be inter
essing to know that not one Georgian who
has been given a place in the interior
department. has been chosen from the list
OF applicants in that department, but the
selections have been made from the secre-
tary's knowledge Of the person and his
Judgment as 10 who are entitled and who
are best qualified.
BAYARD'S SELECTION.
Ex-Secretary Bsyard's nomination to the
St James mission with the title of ambas-
sador rather caught the correspondents un-
AWars. t3t course no Biography OF Thomas
F. Bsyard is ia order. He was begobten of
old federalist stock and his family and kin
have dominated the little bailiwick of
Delaware for very many years.
The nomination Of ex-Gov. Porter OF
Tennessee to the Chilean mission is a happy
change from Minister Egan. EK-Gov. Por-
ter is southern gentleman and man Of
ability. 1t is thought that Senator Harris
seconded this honor for the ex-governor,
fearing that he might fall against him in
the senatorial race two years hence.
GEORGIA MATTERS.
The situation 30 far as Georgia matters
are concerned remains in statu quo.
Col. RenfrOe, backed by Hon Frank
Flynt Of Griffin, is still nammerinR away
at the marshalship, but Col Dismuke COM
tinues to hold the inside of course, and has
the backing of both senator's. If he fails to
win he can lay no blame at the doors of the
upper house.
To-day Representative Mattox and Hon.
Steve Clay visited several departments and
put In a peg here and there for their
friends. Speaker Clay has a big boom
for governor among the boys and they are
all banking on his making the connection.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Maxwell, the new executioner of the post
office department., worked off 800 heads to-
day aud played the races all the afternoon
besides. He is a regular lord high exc
cutioner. Georgia drew three prizes in this
game, one at Lulu, another at Homer
Banks county, and still another at Chicka-
mauga.
Samuel Dunlap of Gainesville is here to-
day, and so is the society editor of the At
lanta Journal, Miss Stock, mighty sweet
little woman, who wants to help her dear
old papa to some humble place in Depart
ment
Not single South Carolina or Florida
appointment, not even a fourth-cIass post
master, was made to-day.
