and of Uie President. He was
jug to reappoint Postmaster Pear
as a favor to the Independents
iev could disprove the charges made
inst Mr: Pearson. They succeeded in
rincing the President yesterday that
charges against Mr. Pearson were
)U n, led, thereupon he promised to re
jint him. His theory was that, the
'pendents were entitled to at least one
r, aad so he was willing to grant it.
dentally he was of the opinion that

isure the support of the independent

MAYOR GRACE’S HAND,
aycr Grace, of New York has done a
t deal for his Iriend Pearson, or rather
liis friend ex-l’ostinaster Genera!

lions are intimate. Mayor Grace has
■ this not on behalf o"i the County
ocracy or any other organization,
personally. Mr. James did a great
10 elect Mr. Grace by getting him the
ion of Republicans iu New York.
Grace has done a great deal to help
rearson’s reappointment by getting
the support of Democrats in New
li. However, Hubert 0- Thompson
the majority of the County Demoo
have not opposed Mr. Pearson’s re
ulntinent, believing that if the Mug
ups should be satisiied by the reap
tment of Postmaster Pearson the
ntv Democracy would stand a better
ice ol seeing Hubert O. Thompson
e Collector of New Y'ork. No such
ngement as this has been considered

tore have been reports about town all
evening that this, that and the othex
jocrstio Senator would oppose the
irmation of Postmaster Pearson, but
lemorfatic Senator can be found who
say for himself that he will oppose
tmieter Pearson’s confirmation.
ACTS AS AN EXONERATION,
gentleman very near the President,
undoubtedly speaking from actual
irltilge, reports t hat the reappointment
Ir. Pearson was made alter a most
ent examination of the facts con
ltd with the charges against him and
answer to the same, which was yester-
Bubmitted and read by the President.
I appointment therefore may be eon
pd a complete vindication of the
taster. Tt is further said that the
ipflinlment of Mr. Pearson will con-
Me a notable exception to the course
eh tlie President may be expected to
uc. The New York post olhce is the
lest and most important of the coun
t'd of interest to all people, and es
iilly to the vast business enterprises

Hm.iiit it to-day considered an iilus

to pay an indebtedness of his own to Mr.

WHAT A DISTRICT JUDGE SAYS.
An eminent Judge of the District, a Re
publican, by the way, hut a cordial ob
jector to Mr- Blaine, is credited with the
following remarks: In referring to the
bsguming made by President Cjevuiand,
and having commented favdtflbiy upon
the examples that had been set of greater
simplicity and economy by government
officers, ho said: “It is encouraging to
see that tais is to fee a eerlofis adminis
tration. The characteristic iff the last
administration Was frivolity. Its great
est efforts were put forth to maintain un
changed all the business habits of prece
ding administrations, and it only gjew in
the direction of social adornments and
conventional forms, the merest trUlas in
dress, deportment, precedence, etiquette,
and the lika being talked about with far
more carnestpess than the infrequent
suggestions tijat the party should find
some manly and desirable thing to do and
do it with all its might.”
CARLISLE AND RANDALL.
Mr. Randall's actions, since Mr. Cleve
land became President, have encouraged
boastfulness on the part of his noisy ad
herents and personal admirers. Go where
you may, into any of the departments,
day after day you will find Mj-. Randall,
accompanied by obscure persons from
different States, prowling into the rooms
of Secretaries in search of places. The
White House has few more frequent visft
ors. Mr. Carlisle, on the other hand, has
gone home. The opportunity offefafl to a
Speaker to use hih influence to gain pa
tronage has evidently been neglected, and
so the Randaii mefi, shouting the alleged
trumpets of their pet, through the streets,
sweay at Mr. Carlisle as a mao too “high
tonetj” to be a patronage hunter, and flat
ter Mr. Randall by telling him that he is
making capital with President and peo
ple, while Mr. Carlisle is losing both pa
tronage and friends. Thß mistake of
jumping to the conclusion, from the char
acter of any appointments that bate been
made, that the President is opposed to
revenue reform or is hostile to Mr. Car
lisle, or hopelessly enamored of Mr. Ran
dall, will appear iu time.
"WOKIt OF THE SENATE.
Sherman’s Resolution Withdrawn in
Favor of One by Mr. Allison.
Washington, March 3J.-r-At 12:55
o’clock to-dav, fitter the reading of the
journal, Mr. Cktueroa moved that the Sen
ate proceed to consideration of executive
business.
Mr. Yan Wyck asked Mr. Cameron to
withhold that motion for a few moments,
so that he ndfffot qufyfpit j-lio jejjiort of the
Committee on Mississippi Improvements.
Mr. Cameron insisted on his motion.
Mr. Yan Wybk desired to make a state
ment.
“Not debatable,” said Mr- Cameron.
Thereupon the mot jou to go into execu
tive session was carHed.
At 12:20 o’clock the doers were re
opened, and a rgsQlqtibh offered by Mr,
Allison was called up and agreed to as
folio ws:
Resntitd. That the following resolution,
adopted by the Senate July 5, 18S4. namely,
"Btunhed.' That the Sergeant-at-Arm* arid
Architect of tb eapitol Ue. aiul they are
hereby, authorized and directed to pent and
prepare Suitable rooms outside of the Capitol
for the use at the next session of Congfoss of
speh Satiate commute®* as have no rooms,
and that all expenses hereunder be paid out
of the fund for the contingent expenses of the
Senate, subject to the Approval of tho com
mittee to audit and Control the, contingent
expenses of the Senate,” be. afcd is hereby,
rescinded, to take effect on the adjournment
of the present session of the senate.
SAVIN'G THE CONTINGENT FUND.
Mr. Allison then called up his resolu
tion, providing for a committee of seven
Senatots to sit during the recess to take
measures to reduce the contingent ex
penses of the Senate.
Mr, Van Wyck how much would
be the probable expense of the committee.
Mr. All j sou said that it was not in
tended that any expense should be in
curred.
Mr. Sherman called attention to the fact
that he had introduced a resolution the
other day to rescind all authority for com
mittees to sit during the recess, but he
would not press it now fn the hope that
the committee proposed by Mr. Allison's
resolution Would reach the desired end.
He did not want the expenses of the
Senate reduced in a spirit of parsimony,
or. he would e.iv demagotism, but with
a view to the real necessities of the ser
vice.
After remarks by Senators Plumb and
Sherman, criticising the House of Repre
sentatives for alleged extravagant ex
penditures, the resolution of Mr. Allison
was adopted.
THE BOGUS REPORT.
Mr. Saulsbury then presented the re
port of the Committee on Post Offices
and Post Roads, setting lorth that that
committee was rot in anywise responsi
ble for the publication of the paper pur
porting to lie a further report on the pos
tal telegraph question, and which con
tained newspaper criticisms of the
Associated Press. Mr. Saulsbury also
submitted a resolution directing the Pub
lic Printer to exclude the alleged report
front the printed volume of reports made
alter the adjournment of each Congress.
After statements of the manner in
which the report came to be printed, the
resolution of Mr. Saulsbury was laid over
under objection by Mr. Van AVyck.
On motion of Mr. Van Wyek, the Sen
ate then took up the report, ramie by that
eontletuan from the Committee on the
Mississippi River Improvements, j>to
viding for a repeal of all resolutions
passed Since March :i authorizing com
mittees to sit during the recess of Con
gress.
The resolution led to general discus
sion of the whole subject or the expendi
tures of this Congresk compared with
former Congresses, and of the Senate ns
compared with the House. The resolu
tion was finally laid over until to-mor
row.
At 2:2so’clock the Senate went Into
executive session, and a few minutes
later adjourned.

AN IGNOMINIOUS FALL,
A Cabinet Minister’s fall was never
moro ignominious than that of Premier
Ferry. He was hooted and branded as a
liar and traitor. The President made no
attempt to stop tho use of these epithets.
Fsequent cries of “Turn him out!” were
directed against the Prime Minisflir, aud
the greatest uproar prevailed throughout
the sitting.

ENGLAND’S VICIOUS GI.KE.
London, March 3J. —The Times, in an
editorial, says that Wr the present France
Will probably bear the same relations to
England and Germany under Premier
ile Frevcinet as she did under Premier
Ferry.
The Paris correspondent of the Times
says that it is impossible for M. do Frey
cinet to think or a Freueh advance to
Pekin. The arsenals are empty, and the
state of the countr y is unfavorable for
such a resolution. He will only lie per
mitted to send 50,000 men to Toaquin.
He will thereby compromise the free
action of the array in France, and will
paralyze national life In Europe in order
to annex the arid soil or Tonquin.
Premier Kerry would have done the same
thing. The ouiv object was to overturn
the Ministry. The situation remains the
same, except for the removal of the ablest
Republican statesman it; France. It is
generally believed that Gen. Ncgrler’s
dispatch on Sunday cotcludt and with the
sentence: ‘*l am expecting most serious
events.” hut tli.it sentence was sup
