CAPITAL CITY CHAT.
Turning the Rnacaii Out—R«ndnll’»
Tact lea— Patent Proflta.
Washington, March 24.—One of
the President’s nominations to day
created much surprise. It was that
of Daniel McConville, of Ohio, pri
vate secretary ot Gov. Iloadly, and
Treasurer of the Democratic State
Committee, to be Sixth Auditor of
Treasury. It marked a commend
able change in the administration
of that important oilice. Mr.
Crowell, the present Sixth Auditor,
was the most surprised man in
Washington. He has been accus
tomed to regard himself as impreg-
nably entrenched in his place. lie
is a Minnesota man, brought here
by Senator Ramsay us his clerk.
Jlr. Ramsay put him in the Audi-
tor’sohice. lie arose to be Deputy
Auditor. He is a weak man, who
has devoted himself most assiduous-
• ly to the cultivation of personal
popularity among public m<n. He
is not an cllicient oflicial. He is
not aggressively honest. The best
that can be said for him, in view
of the proper method of adminis
tration in his oflicc, is that he is
negligent. The oflicc has been in
the hands of either feeble or wicked
men for years. Auditing all the
accounts‘of the Post Olllce Depart
ment, its managers have at times
maintained compromising relations
with postal contractors of the star
route and other varieties. The
business of the oilice has always
been conducted in a loose if not a
dishonest way. At the present
time, for example, it is c-harged
that certain officials in this office
have formed a combination with
McGrew,the former Sixth Auditor,
removed for complicity in the stnr
route robbery, now a claim agent
here, under which they furnish him
information from the books of the
office respecting balances due Post
masters, which euablcs him to get
through numerous claims at a large
profit to himself. The President
and Postmaster General desire a
vigorous reform in this office by a
positively honest roan. McCon
ville is said to be such a man. He
was recommended,by Gov. Hoadly
and Senator Payne.
RANDALL NOT A POWER.
Encouraged, as usual, by Repub
lican newspapers. Congressman
Randall’s friends are reviving the
talk of bringing him out as a can
didate for Speaker of the next
House, in opposition to Carlisle.
They profess to see in certain
prominent appointments made re
cently the hand of Randall. They
profess to think that Randall’s ad
vice has peculiar potency with tue
new administraMon, and ns evi
dence of this they claim that
the new Commissioner of Internal
Ravenuc, the new Commissioner if
Indian Affairs and '.he new First
Assistant Postmaster General, offi
cers having much influence over a
very large amount of patronage, are
■11 Randall men. There are indica
tions that this claim aud similar
claims are beiug used by Randall’s
friends in their efforts to start for
him a Speakership boom. They
■re aware that without the advant
age which these assumptions and
these claims might give him Ran-
dull would be much weaker limn
be was two years ago in his contest
with Carlisle.
UNFOUNDED CLAIMS.
But Randall’s officious friends,
and especially bis Republican news
paper supporters, are, as usual, far
too liberal in their large assump
tions. There is no ground tor the
claim that either Commissioner of
Indian Affairs Atkins, or Commis
sioner of Internal Revenue Miller
•r First Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Hay are likely to aid Randall
by their official inflnence in the
contest for the Speakership. There
is much more ground for the asser
tion that they are Cleveland men
or Tilden men than they arc all
Randall men, Furthermore, there
is no room for doubt that as to
questions of iuternal revenue tax
ation and customs duties the Presi
dent and his Cabinet are much
more nearly in accord with the
views ef Randall, and inasmuch as
the friends of the latter are endeav
oring to magnify bis influence with
the administration, it is not too
-arlv to predict that the adminis
tration will not permit itself tn
be involved in the Speakership
contest, or to influence the result
of that contest, further than the
views of the Prcsidentanda decided
majority of bis Cabinet advises in
fkvor of customs revenue reform,
and their opposition to the aboli
tion of Internal revenue taxes may.
m ■ general way, affect the result
of that contest. There is not the
■lightest reason to doubt that Jno.
O. Carlisle will be Speaker of the
next House.
PBOHT8 OF TI1E rATENT OFFICE.
The Patent Office is the only
Apartment of the government that
fbself-sustaining. Regularly every
year it turns into the Treasury
ftom $30,000 to $50,000, and in this
way has paid In over $3,000,000,
counting the interest. The post-
•Bce did one year make a profit,
t»„ kite rmiiiution in postage rales
u-eil ii. II11 and there is now an
aninisl deficiency. Patent lawyers
a*.if other disinterested parties here
assert that the present force in the
Patent Office is inadequate to the
necessities ot the times. It is said
that Mr. Dyrenforth, who is the
acting Patent Commissioner, is
now overworking the clerks in or
der to make an exceptionally good
report at the end of the fiscal year,
with a view to being appointed to
the vacant commissionersbip or at
and rate securing his retention in
office. It takes from three to five
years for a clerk in this office to
become an expert patent examiner,
and no spoilsman has yet had the
courage to assert that inexpe
rienced Democrats should be put
in these places. The salaries are
altogether too low, as whenever an
examiner knows enough to make
him valuable to the bureau he
leaves aud sets himself as an in
dependent patent attorney.' All of
the patent attorneys in Washing
ton graduated in this way. Tne
office is now greatly behind in its
work for want of more clerks.
Cleveland's receptions.
The public receptions still con
tinue to take up a good portions of
the President’s time, and they are
of such a free and easy nature that
they are even becoming popular
among the Washingtonians. It is
a common thing for two men walk
ing by the White House seeing the
crowd and having nothing to do to
drop in and seethe President‘Just
to pass away the time.” tbougli
they may have seen him many
times before. This view of the case
was presented to the President over
a cigar a day or two ago by a gen
tleman licre, who advised him to
make himself more secluded. Said
Mr. Cleveland: "The fact is, my
bours are so long that I have plenty
of time in which to transact my
business and share an hour or so
with the public. I want the peo
ple to know that they can walk
right in in their working clothes
without ringing the bell. My time
belongs to them except on Sunday,
which I am determined shall be a
day of rest to me, as it should be
to every other workingman. Then
I am Grover Cleveland. On week
days I am the President.”
Tiio White House grounds are
as public as any street and children
often go in there to play. A guard
at the gates would be a curiosity to
the Washingtonians.
The back of the White House
commands a magnificent view of a
long reach of the Potomac river
and the Heights of Arlington, and
a perpetual haze seems to hang
over these. Mr. Cleveland likes to
look at this panorama out of his
window, and he says the peculiar a-
mosphere reminds him of Indian
summer among the highlands of the
Hudson. He deelares his inten
tion at an early day of making
a pilgrimage to the tomb of Wash
ingtou, which hi has never visited,
aud manifests great interest in
Mount Vernon. It is said that the
little steamer which runs there will
take Mr. Cleveland and a party of
friends down during the latter part
ot this month.

“The Ty-Ty Route.”
Ty-Ty. a little village on the
Brunswick and Western railroad
between Albany and Waycroes, has
leaped into prominence as giving
the name to one of the most impor
fant sleeping ear lines leading from
the west into Florida.
Some weeks ago when tbe through
line was opened from St. Lous to
Jacksonville via the Western and
Atlantic to Atlanta, the Central
railroad to Albany, the Brunswick
and Western railroad to Wavcross,
and the Savannah, Florida and
Western to Jacksonville, some of
the parties at interest were usking
what distinctive name they should
give the route.
It was suggested that inasmuch
as the sleeping car over each of the
roads to Albany had other mines,
it would be best to call this by
some name local to the Brunswick
and Western.
“Why not call it Ty-Ty, then,”
said Mr. Joseph M. Brown, general i
passenger agent of the Western
and Atlanta railroad.
“Too odd,” said another gentle
man.
“But its being too odd is what
will call it into notice,” was tbe
reply.
After a little humorous passage
of words, the name “Ty-Ty” was
agreed upon and consequently the
“Ty-Ty route” is now known to
every ticket agent from Kansas
City and Detroit to Jacksonville,
A Pittsburg loafer who spoke
disrespectfully of Gen. Grant on
Monday evening was dragged into
a stable by tbe crowd, a rope put
round his neck, the end drawn over
a beam and the man lifted off hie
feet twice. He was soon out of
breath and blue in the face and was
at length released and sent home
in a carriage.
