DELAWARE AFFAIRS
MORE TODD TALK FROM THE
BUSY LITTLE STATE.
Political ENHANCEMENT on Account OF
Discharged Postmistress Will
Affect Many.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
WILMINGTON, Del. September 10.-As
result of the resignation of VIM. Michael
Byrne the United States district attor-
ney for Delaware, President Roosevelt will
be called upon to decide between the reg
ular republicans and the Addcks republic
cans in appointing his successor.
AS it will be impossible for the leaders Of
the factions to decide upon a man. because
of the strained relations that exist. the re-
cent ousting of Miss Huldah B. Todd a.
postmistress at Greenwood by Postmaster
General Payne, at the request of Senator
Alice. having made the breach wider than
ever, the appointment will be defeat for
one of the elements.
Plum for Ball
Both Senator Bail. regular republican,
and Senator Alice, union republican. will
insist that the President name his selection,
but in view of the fact that the district at
torney has his office in Wilmington, Senator
Ball stands a better show Of being given
the plum. In the verbal understanding be-
tween them Senator Ball was given con-
troll of federal appointments in Newcastle
county, of which Wilmington is the county
seat, and Alice was allowed those in Kent
and Sussex counties.
1t Is generally understood that John P.
Nields of this city is Senator Balls choice
as Byrne's successor. Mr.. Nields. who is a
prominent regular republican, was given
the temporary appointment as district at
torney by Federal Judge Bradford when
Byrne resigned in order to run for Con-
gress last year as the Addicks nominee.
Senator Alice, it is stated, favors John l..
Cahill Of Georgetown, Sussex county for
the place. Senator Ball stated today that
the question will probably not be submitted
to the President until after his return to
Washington.
The resignation of Byrne will be decidedly
felt by the Addicks element because his
personal following declare that he did not
receive the full union republican support
volt and strengthen the ranks Of the reg
ular republicans.
Look to the President
The most interesting part OF the whole at
fair however. is the anticipation of the
President showing his hand as between the
two factions. The Office Of federal district
attorney embraces the entire state. and the
appointment will be a definite recognition
Of the faction that shall receive it This
outcome, even more than the removal of
Postmistress Todd. will have direct bear
ing on the complexion Of the regular re-
publican and the union republican separate
delegation to the next republican national
convention.
1t Is conceded that the faction which Sc
cures the appointment of Byrnes successor
will be favorable to Roosevelt, and it is
generally believed that the other side will
have a grievance, which will be demon
strated in opposing his denomination. The
national convention, however, will decide
which of the delegations will be seated.
There are six delegates from this state.
AS Byrne will remove to New York, where
he will practice law, he will be absolutely
out of the Delaware politics.

FOODS, which committee would in

BY making the investigation man

House.
Senator German led the Demo-
serats ID his first important speech
Since his return to the Senate.
Senator Lodge and others opposed
him
Mr. German said, in part, "Sir,
the country is not satisfied with

satisfied with the course of this

have been as to few individuals.

Senator Lodge replied by saying
that congressional investigation
was the most clumsy one possible,
and cited as preof Of this assertion,
that the department had been in
vestigated by two congressional
committees which had been unable
to find anything wrong. Senator
Nelson added that the facts which
would be made public through
suckan investigation would help
those who arc now accused. The
Democrats will no doubt point out
to Mr.. Nelson thatitis more impor-
tant that the public know the true
condition of affairs in the depart
ment, than that few individuals
be convicted.
a ship subsidy bill, calling for
discrimination in tonnage taxes
and in duties on goods carried by

issues upon which the life of the Confed- eracy revolved, was extremely partial to him in his confidence. Campbell had left his place on the United States Supreme court bench. and had left his residence in Washington. when prejudice against Southern born men had destroyed his in- fiuence there. He came South with a f1x- ed purpose to do nothing for the Con- federacy and the purpose never left his mind. (Campbelrs letter to Associate Justice Curtis, Century Magazine, Sep tember, 1SS9.) With or without foundation. there was wide apprehension that Camp bell would be immediately nominated for Chief Justice If the court 6hould be creat- ed. Hill was and ever had been of Campbeirs mind on the Southern situa- ton. Yancey became the focus of ob- struction to the President, Hill and tn- cidentally to Campbell. It was a powerful combination to meet. a combination to delight Yancey and to force him to rise to his opportunity.
 The remarkable and. on general princi- pie, the inexplicable relations of Presi- dent Davis to Hill and to Yancey, respec- lively, if not decisive of controlling events in the career of the Confectionery, assur- edly take rank among the influences that exerted a most powerful and baneful ef- rect upon ltS CIVIL anu ttiAiediJ pAOS- pects When we come to consider the suddenly discovered and boundless afrec- ton that the Chief demonstrated toward one, and the unsuitable and lately found anImoafty he visited on the other, the wonder grows.
 Up to the entrance of Yancey into the Senate, the President, since the two men met first in the Congress of the United States. in 1S46-46, had been fast political and personal friends. On the contrary, the President had watched Hills career through all the crucial tests of the intervening events with distrust and rejection
 In order to show that MT. Davis and MT.

The orator said then, "The hour and the man have met" He heartily approved MT. Davis for President. Some years be- fore, the Mount Vernon Association, la dies,, had presented to Mir. Yancey the field glass carried by General Washing ton in the Revolutionary War. To ex- press his personal esteem, MT. Yancey presented the valued relic to the Presi- dent-elect of the Confederacy. The pic- lures of the scene yet show the proximity of MT. Yancey to MT. Davis when the latter stood on the spot now marked by the brass star on the porch floor at the Capitol of Alabama. As soon as Presi- dent Davis returned from the inaugura- ton ceremony. he sent for MT. Yancey to say, that whatever position in the Gov ernment he might select, if of the execu- tive right of bestowal, was open to him. Yancey replied at once and frankly that he desired not to hold office, but he was Nsolicitious that his friend, Leroy Pope Walker, should be appointed Secretary of War. Mir Walker was appointed, and if the demonstrated sagacity and ad- ministrative capacity of the appointee be Justly appreciated by history, Yam ceys judgment in the premises must be applauded.
 The President. having been directed by Congress. to despatch commission to Europe. again sent for MT. Yancey, re- questing him to go as President of the commission of three. The urgency of the President was not to be lightly treated. Mir. Yancey dispatched to his brother, who lived in Atlanta, Hon. B. c. Yancey. to come immediately to Montgomery to give him advice. While this appointment was pending, Mir Robert Barnwell Rhett. deputy in Congress then sitting from South Carolina, met W. L. Yancey on the stairs leading down from the Presidents apartments in the hotel. "As you value your reputation" said Rhett. "I admon- ish you not to go to Europe" This ad- monition was given because Rhett had insisted, as Yancey knew. that a commits sion sent abroad to talk to royal heads on the right of secession would do more harm than good and because Rhett had insisted. in which course Yancey heartily concurred, that England aV France should be offered certain exclusive profit able privileges in our ports. in cHmpen- sation of their risks in acknowedning our independence and because both Rhett and Yancey knew the commission
 would not be instructed to make offers of compensatIon sufficient to arrest the
 attention of England and France in our | behalf.

 When President Roosevelt wants to be partly civil to visitor in Washington he invites him to lunch. When he de- sires to be particularly polite to him he asks him to dinner. When he wants to be real chummy and chatty with him he asks him to breakfast.
