New Yosk baa a Hebrew population of fifty thousand, one hundred of whom have mtatm valued at one million of dol lars or npwards. It is said that Gen. Gordon and Ur. Lamar are working to secure the appoint, ment of United States Marshal of Georgia for Col. B. A. Alston. A ooaaaspoNDaitT says Urs. Hayes' en. tire outfit did not east $600; end that she will bring none of the vices of fashion into the Republican oonrt. SaNATon Tbcbhan says: “Anybody who expects to pull Hayes around will mistake the man. He is not quarrelsome, but has a mind of bis own." Taxis wants it distinotly understood that no more lawyers need enter the State nnless it be to kill off the doctors, of which the supply seems inexhaustable. Cot. H. O. Corbin, 24th infantry, will be detailed for duty at the White House, in similar relation to the President as Gen. Babcock had to President Grant. Aaron Mitobru, of Abbeville, South Carolina, has recovered from the U. S., Treasury $128,692 for eotton seised dur- the war. He will invest the most of it in Abbeville. Bob Inurbsoll is to lecture next week at Cooper Institute, New York. He has taken as his theme “The Political Situa tion," and announoes that he will attaok the Administration policy toward the Bouth. Tax Sun refuses to be comforted. It sums np the latest act in the political drama thns: “Exit Grant. Enter Ilayes. Exit Foroe. Enter Fraud. Exit Whiskey, Enter Lollipop. Exit Closer. Enter Ohadbaod. Twioo, the proprietor of the pool rooms on Bowdoin square, Boston, has decamped with $70,000 belonging to par ties wbo held pool tiokets on the result of the Presidential eleotlon. This ia an im provement on Morrissey's plan. Tax second trial of Alexander Sullivan, In Chicago, for the murder of Franois Hanford,some months ago, terminated to day, and the jury at 11 o’clock to-night, after brief deliberation, brought in a ver dict of acquittal, and Sullivan was dis charged from custody. Gsn. Bannino's view of Hayes: “Well, he is respeotable to every thing, but rath er oold. I never heard of his giving any money to any thing. I never heard of any body who had got very iutimate with him. Many people like him, but very few want to die for him.’ 1 It was reported in Washington, upon good authority that the President telo graphed to Paokard offering him the colleotorship of the port provided he would “step down and out.” Paokard replied that he “would be Governor or nothing.” It has sinoe been denied, Must Havb Brin Sun.—Judging from the Western dispatches the Senate must have been very slim when the Cabi net officers were confirmed. The highest vote given is forty six, of which two were in the negative. There are in attendance on the Senate seventy-two members, so only a little over half balloted. Tax London World announces that yel low is to be applied to that noblest of objects, the decoration of the female form divine. The fashionable oolor, which is neither orange nor lemon, primrose nor aprioot, buff nor brimstone, but a downright brilliant yellow, is to be nam ed, out of compliment to the Chinese Ambassador, now in England. Thx New York Time* says: “In these selections the President has given the country the first distinot indication that he intends to go baok on the damnable polioy of the Grant regime, relegating the Mortons, Blaines, Ohandlera and Camer ons, to the rear, and bringing forward the liberal, Independentelcment. This means music. It means a smash up of old par ty combinations that will benefit the eonntiy.’’ Mr. Hat**' first appointment to offlee does not promise well for eivil service re- form. Mr. Stone, a carpet-bagger, late Attorney General of South Caroline, was a member of the Board of Canvassers of that State. He was nominated by Grant for Distriot Attorney of South Carolina, but failed of confirmation through the efforts of Senator Robertson. His name has again been sent to the Senate by Mr. Hayes. Hon. Andbiw Humphries, of Indians, has stated to Gen. Manaon, of Indianap olis, that he has knowledge that the story of an agreement between Hayes, Stanley Matthews, and Garfield, and the Southern leaders, for the recognition of the Nich- olls and Hampton governments is true, Hsyee himself, on Wednesday, disclaimed nay knowledge of such an “agreement," nnd the organs persist in the aaeertion that the President has left the “ Southern question" for “future consideration. rBillDIILUCVV APPOINTMENT*, Telegrams announce that Bradley’i man, Returning Board Hayes, has stated that be will not remove holders of offloes, at least for the present, unless^for cause. This is extremely doubtful. He will be a man of stronger determination than be has ever been given credit for if he can stand the pressure. He may be very firm at first, but as soon as ha recovers from the fright of his own acceptance of fraud he will make the holders see changes that were never dreamed of in their phil osopby. He has already nominated a carpet bagger, Stone, to be Distriot Attorney of South Carolina, and a “com promise” to be postmaster at Petersburg, Va. In the attempt to disintegrate the Demooralio party in the South we expeot to hear of many of these half and half offlee holders. It is stated by the North ern and Western Badioal correspondents with great glee that Washington is full of Democrats hungry for office, and letters from applicants are constantly arriving. We really hope all will fail, for be they pure os snow, they must feel some grati tude to the power that gave them plooe. Suppose the bast of Democrat was given the Columbus postmastersbip from Hayes. Could he consistently aid Democracy to fight the man who gave the salary, and would he do it, when he knew the mo ment he attempted such an act, his bead would be chopped? It may be part of true manhood to stand by one's convio- tions, but it is not human nature. Then the “poor negro” for whom Mr. Hayes was so sorry when he thought Til- den was elected must come in for his share. He must get some offloes. Aooord* ing to the vote Mr. Hayes reoeived, the “poor negro,” as His Fraudulently terms him, ought to have a representative in the Cabinet. Coffee was dearly entitled to it, for had it not been for him even the Re turning Boards oould not have put Bradley's man where he is. Gratitude to Lize Pinkston should have put corn-field Ned or Joe among the Republicans that visit the White House that Bberman might wipe off he bleeding wounds and shed the tear of sympathy. Lize should not be forgotten, neither should the “Am I a vassal or a peer ?” Hayes would not be in the White Honse but for them. The thirst and greed for office is abun dant in the ranks of every party and it originates in the desire of getting the largest possible salary with the least work. We fear that the principles of many will not deter them from taking the large or small salaries. There is no danger, however, of the Democratic party in the Bouth be* ing won over by any such giving. There are too few Federal offloes for the purpose and any Democrat who takes position un. der Hayes will be quickly suspected and lose influence. The idea of gaining any following of consequence by such a course is preposterous. Thore is no danger really of Hayes giv ing positions of any importance to a dyed, in-the-wool Domoorat, but he may to the mixed class—those who are perohed on the fenoes. Henoe the appointments will be of the “ring, streaked and striped” varieties, a conglomeration that is satis factory to no one. Gen. Gordon, Mr. Lamar and others of our trno representatives have stated they will aocept no offioe themselves and will advise their friendB not to apply, bnt if they do so they will usewbat influeaoe they have to seoure the aooomplisbment of the desire. MU. HEWITT'S LETTER. We give his letter resigning the Chair manship of the National Democratic Ex ecutive Committoe in full in this paper. Wo think in the last campaign ho demon strated himself as one of the ablest and best of men. He expended one hundred thousand dollars of bis own money tosses oure the triumph of Democracy. His management evinoed marked capaci ty and skill, and that the victory won at the polls was not consummated, was no more his fault then any of the many Democratic leaders in Congress. We are glad that only a few of the Bouthern papers and correspond ents have joined in the malignant attacks that have been made npon an honest and worthy gentleman, who has devoted time, talents and means withont stint to the triumph of the only national party in this oountry. Bradley’s board was not the off spring of Mr. Hewitt’s brain, nor was ha more responsible for its passage than any other man wbo voted for it. Nearly every Democrat in Congress voted for the measure and most of the Republican* were opposed. He could no mors see into the middle of next month than others. Let all who voted for that bill, whioh was regard ed as a Democratic measure, if blame is to be attoohed, share the odium equally with himself. If Tilden had won, Hewitt would have reoeived the wildest plaudits. He has done nothing to deserve censure, and we are pleased to know that few in the Bouth and not many in the North have bestowed censure where it has been so illy deserved. BI.AINX Arran What ? — Jim Blaine dined with the Cabinet Saturday and he and they laughed at the idea that he was opposed to their confirmation. ’Twaa very funny when viewed in the light of a brimming champagne class, but in the sober view of truth it had the air of a very gram,and singularly obsoure joke. If Blaine’s dramatic effort was not a direct thrust at the Cabinet, he was playing the initiative of the desperate game to be come the leader of the extremists and adopted as their candidate for the Pres idency in 1880. He has already over* shadowed Morton in the Senate in oham pioning the cause of those worthies, Chamberlain and Paokard, and is now en deavoring to sot a dual role—friend to the administration after a failure to bulldoze it, or rather eeeming defeat. Time will shew whether he end hie doss or the moderates will rule His Fraudulency. Blaine aspires.to the Presidency and he has brains. The oonseivativae will find in him a dangerous antagonist.

CONCERNING HIS FBAI7DUI.RNCT. A gentleman yesterday requested us to stop using the terms His Fraudulenoy, end similar terms in regard to usurper Hayes, wbo obtained his seat through the State and National Returning Boards, and against the will of the people. He gave as a reason that the act had been consum mated and oomplalnts did no good. Our purpose is to continually present the sub ject before the people, so that they may never forget the enormous criminality by whioh Mr. Hayes was inducted into pow er. They should never forget that Mr. Hayes is not the choioe of the voters of the United States but of the Returning Boards. On the subject the following from the Sun exactly expresses our senti ments : NO MOURNUta TOR UR. TILDEN. That respeotable and respected journal, the Boston Evening Transcript, fails to apprehend the essence of the situation. It thinks Mr. Hayes will make a decent ad ministration, and that the possibility of his doing so blots out all the legal and moral enormities of his oflloial origin: “Nor is there less of desolation or be wilderment among the Democratic chief tains. At this rate where will their griev ance be by the next eleotion ? Neither the people nor they themselves have ever been so infatuated with Mr. Tilden per sonally that they will persist in mourning for him, if they obtain all and more of the snbetanoe of his promised reforms than be could ever have compassed.” The grievanoe oannot be removed by any good oonduot on the part of Mr. Hayes. A thief may make a benevolent uae of stolen property, but he is a thief nevertheless. Mr. Tilden was eleoted President. He and the people have been cheated out of the eleotion. To all hon est men this is an intolerable grievanoe, not only beoause they believe Mr. Tilden would really have reformed the Federal Government, but still more beoause the inauguration of a President through fraud, bribery and the violation of the Constitution is a oalamity that threatens to produce the most pernicious conse quences hereafter. We do not mourn for Mr. Tilden; be needs nobody to mourn for him. Being cheated out of the eleotion does not hurt him. All the lies and the malignity that have been poured out upon him have not left a spot upon his character. Wbat he has done for the State of New York in the reformation of its government forma his enduring monument; and the foot that ont of the intelligent white citizens of .the United States a majority ofone mill ion have voted to make him President, ia something whioh ought to silenee every liar and slanderer in the land. For him, then, no regret is necessary. What we mourn for is the incompara ble, the inoredible disaster and disgrace whioh have been broaght npon our ooun try in the inauguration of a President who woe not elected. Tarora to Puuxa Evxax G»—Post- XMtCer-OeMtnlXey is attempting this roll. Be asked Tyner tohe hie Assistant and make the Northern appointments. Tyner refused to serve as second where he had been chief. Key then requested his Fraudulenoy to appoint a straight-out Republican as Assistant. We presume from this Key proposes to take the South ern appoint menu in his own hands. He has remarked where the Demooralio applicant was of superior ability to the Republican be would give the offioe to the former. Perhaps he will and perhaps he will not Nxw Hantshiri Eduction.—It ooonrs to-day. A Governor, Legislature and three Congressmen are to be chosen. The Legislature sleets a Senator to snoeeed Gragin, Republican. The congressmen now stand twoDemooraUand one Repub lican. It will be Demoeratio lnok if they are defeated. In the Senate debate, Mr. Blaine ex plained his remarks in regard to the Sen ator from Delaware (Mr. Bayard) having in nearly every instance voted against la majority of the Judges, and said the reo- ord showed he was oorrect. In the same connection be quoted from the remarks of Mr. Key while he was in the Benale, in regard to the oase of the Oregon elec tor, to the effect that he regarded the no tion of the Governor of Oregon ax wrong, but it was not mote reprehensible than the notion of the Returning Boards in Louisiana and Florida; and resuming bis remarks, Mr. Blaine said Mr. Key then went ao to say he supported Tilden and Hendricks, and believed them to have been honestly elected. [Sensation. J Civil Service.—Blaine is ohsirman of the Senate Committee In this department. We expeot extraordinary reforms from this brilliant apeciman who when Speaker so ruled that he oould get a share of the “spoils.” His Boston friends ought to make application for office. It might give Blaine another sun-stroke—that very olever dodge he affeotad to escape Con gressional inquiry. 1.EAKN TO WAIT. His Fraudulenoy appears to be in no hurry. We are now told that three weeks will witness the solution of the South Carolina and Louisiana embroglio. Gen. Gordon and Mr. Lamar seem to be eonfi dent that all will turn out right, The surest sign of hope we see in the future is in the oonrse of the New York Time*. That journal only a short time sinoe oonld find no word too bitter, no epithet too vile, no oharge too gross for application to the Southern poople. Now it is as soft and mild as the cooiug of a dove. It alludes to “our Southern friends and neighbors.” It even shows bow Paokard is mistaken in his assertion that his oase is as strong as that of Hayes’. Read what the editor ssye: There are in Louisiana two well-defined and irreconcilable interests. Eaoh asserts its olaim to Federal recognition. Eaoh may truthfully urge certain suggestive facts in its behalf. Paokard professes to be d* jure Governor; Nioholls insists that be is Governor de facto. Both are in a cer tain sense right. The authority whioh decided that the true count of the vote in the State gave it electorally to Hayes also de cided that the majority on the question of the Governorship was on the side of Paokard. At the first glance this seems to be a conclusive faot. Mr. Blaine obooses to consider it so conclusive that it leaves no room for further argument. His assumption, however, goes a little too far. The power of the Returning Board, absolute in regard to the Presiden tial Electors, is subject to supervision in regard to the Executive of the State. It is not final, certainly, when seats in the local Legislature are oonoerned, and there may be room for difference of opin ion as to the oonolusivoness of its author ity, when the votes whioh deoide the Governorship are at stake. Mr. Blaine’s argument, therefore, breaks down at the start. The title of Mr. Hayes to the Electoral vote of Louisiana is not indisso lubly connected with the title of Mr. Paokard to the Governorship. He then goes on and approves what is supposed to be Hayes' Bouthern oonoilia tory polioy. In the meantime the majority of the Senate oommittee has reported that Kel log has a prime facie ease and should be sworn in. If this should be adopted it will be a virtual recognition by the Sen ate of Paokard end his Legislature os the legal authorities of Louisiana. Then what will His Fraudulenoy do about it ? It is exoeeding doubtful whether this re port can pass, for the Republicans right now have only one majority in the Sen ate, and it is believed several ltepublioans will oppose such a measure. Its defeat wiil pat off Mr. Kellogg's olaims to the winter season. The South has been well tutored to patience. Bhe demands only that troops be withdrawn. Radicalism has stolen the Presidency, end now the extremists are trying to rob two Btstes of their liberties. Hayes, satisfied with the fruits of the robbery thus far, ie said to be opposed to more, because it will not benefit, bat in jure his own position. Will he or the ex tremists rule ? We oan only wait and see. Bound the Trumpet!—Old Simon Cam eron baa resigned bis plaoe as United States Senator from Pennsylvania. Thia will be hailed with rejoioiugs throughout the lend. He has been one of the bitter* est, most implacable enemies of the Booth, and endeavored to the best of hie ability to enoompaaa our destruction. It is said that he resinged in favor of his son Don, the late Secretary of War; but it is by no means oertain that Don can get the succession, though the Legislature is Republican and now in session. There ia a goodly sprinkling of Democrats in that body and they are keen to effect combinations by whioh to defeat the Cam erons. Out they go—Logan, Bberman and Cameron. Let shouts of joy ascend for the release. _y**^*** ***•* ***• Humphries may be j That was be made the employees pay up Momenta to boy op Returning Boards.

THX PRESIDENT AND “ALL OX U«" AGREE THAT WITHDRAWAL IS “VOX THX PUBLIC GOOD. ” Special Dispatch to th* Philadelphia Times. Washington, March 7.—The bistoiy of the Metthews-Evarls letter to Xlhamber- lain, which created sack a sensation un- der Blaine’s handling in the Senate to day, is this: On last Saturday Senator Gordon went to President. Grant,beaeech- ed him to write a letter in an unofficial oapaoity to Chamberlain advising him to withdraw from the contest in Booth Caro lina and disembarrass bis party and relieve the country. President Grant heartily endorsed the suggestion of Chamberlain s withdrawal, and for awhile was about to consent to writing the letter. He feared, however, that for him to take such leading ground in the matter would be disooarts- ous to the incoming administration. He did not relinquish the idea presented by Senator Gordon, but authorized the Senator to go to Mr. Matthews and say that he thought suoh a letter should be written by one of Mr. Hayes’. friends. Mr. Matthews eagerly took the sugges tion and promised to have the letter ready in an hour, suggesting that Mr. Evarta’ indorsement might be readily ob tained. The letter was written saying to Chamberlain that his withdrawal from the contest would be appreciated by the ad ministration and the Republican party. Mr. Evarta indorsed it. Haskell, Demo cratic ohairman of Bouth Carolina, who was waiting for it, hied off to Chamber lain with it. The plan was that the rival claimants should have a conference, after whioh Chamberlain would withdraw. the explanation porthooming, Upon the matter becoming publio through Chamberlain’s dispatch to Corbin Mr. Matthews oalled upon Senator Gor don and authorized him to telegraph for a copy of the letter that he might read it in the Senate to-morrow and let the oountry understand precisely what the views of the administration upon thia question are. He stated openly that Mr. Hayes indorsed the Bentiment of the letter, and said, “I pledge my life that he will adhere steadily to the policy be has mapped out.” From this it would seem that Mr. Blaine’s fran- tio appeal for sponsors to the Chamber lain letter will not waste itself in echo, but that the old as well as the new ad ministration indorse its suggestion, and it looks as if Mr. Hayes, having deliber ately put his foot down, is not to wabble at the oommand of a few partisans.

There are stories from Washington that Robeson leaves the naval department heavily in debt, one aooount says $2,000,- 000. The course of his friends in Con gress on the appropriations indicates that there is some truth in these suspicions. When the deficiency appropriation bill was passed, though it had heavy items for the navy in it Benator Sargent said it was still not enough by half a million; and in the regular appropriation bill for next year, while the House proposed but $12,- 500,000, the Republican Benate raised the sum to $17,000,000, and got, finally, by compromise with the House, $13,500,000.
