Artbur if tbetr twelve votes will secure

Blaine through seven ballots iu 1870, is
tiow divided. Kentucky, tiotwitlndaiid

probably vote -olldly for Arthur on tbe
first ballot, whilo Louisiana is certain to
do so. Maine is of course unbroken f r
lier favorite sou, who also getsn bubtan-

First Assistant Postmaster-General
Ilatton is still absent from bis post iu
Washington. It has boeu many weeks
since bo wns last soeu bero. He left on
n tour of duly, nud bus since beeu frc
qucnlly beard of at State and other Con
ventions of bis parly iu tbe West. It
should not be too hastily inferred, bow
ever, tbat Mr. llulton Isengaged In what
is uot deservl g of praise.
lie Is simply enforcing tbe civil ser
vice rules ns bo understands them, aud
as Ibey have been cxpouuded by Mr.
Evton, tbo august bead of tbe Civil Ser
vice Cointuisiiou. That official holds
that tiuder the law officials may act ns
Jelegites lu Couveuliou, Ilatton, reas
oning therefrom, holds that what a man
may do be should do, nnd that what be
cauuot do himself bo should assist others
to da. Iu this way ha works it out tbnt
it is uot only tbe right, but tbe duly, of
otUcials to eugago in the delegate busi
ness, aud to this eud lor nearly six
weeks be bas been ou a tour of duty.
His return is not expected iu a consider
able time. He may tako Chicago iu bis
homeward way early iu Juno.
That Mr. Eaton lias so nblo nu assis
tant ns Ilatton in enforcing the civil ser
vice rules, all reformers have reasou tu
rejoice. A number of Government of
ficials uro similarly employed. Some of
them, availing themselves of Patriarch
Eaton's license, have got themselves
eltclod delegates to Chicago. Iu this
llattou failed, tbo Republicans of Iowa
not having woikod themselves up to tbe
mora ndvanced ideas of reform iu tbe
civil strvico of wbicb bo and Eaton are
tbo apostles.
DESIrCIUTIC CANDIDATES.
There is begluning to be tome more
talk about the Democratic situation.
Mr. Stetliug Morton, a member of tbe
National Committee nnd a probable dele
j(ato to tbo Chicago Couventiou from
Nebraska, who is now in Washington,
In a general convertalion to-elay upon
tho snbjectof Democratic possibilities
was asked :
"Who dojon think will bo tbe nom
i'-iee of tho Democratic Convention ut

'Deyard, Poudletou, McDonald

"That is a wide shot. What are yonr
reasons for such selections?''
'Bayard is a fuinu of high cbaraoter,

Peudlotou is certain to be couslder.d

methods workiug in barmouy with the,
Protection Democrats of Ohio. Pendle

Democrats in tbo minority States from
which it will bo bard to recover. Mc

nomto questions, nnd Morrison at least
Ins the courage of bis convictions.
Perhaps some other man tbu tbeso may
be selected, some men who is the very
Incarnation of tbo idea of tariff reduc

'What will he the insne this year?''
"the only jssno npou which the
Dcmocri-ts can win is a square declira
liou agalu.st tbe protective system. The

"As a Democrat, which one of tbe
loading It-puhlicuu candidates would
you prefer to see nominated?''
' Blaine; because I think he best rep
resents tbe methods and morals of the

IC Hogg as uu untried candidate should
not be overlooked, and Doray lor bis

Washington, May 10, 1881
A plan Is on foot to pnts a bill during the
present session of Consress, directing the
Secretary of the Interior to place upon tho
pension rolls the names of all tho fiddlers
nr sailors or matines who served two
months or longer continuously In any Con
federate prison, nrnylding they nre noev
suffering from disability, cither general or
specific. Besides beim; placed nn the pen
slon rolls tliey ere also to receive two dol
lara lor encn itay ol imprisonment, ns a
gratuity. The list is further augmented by
placing tip-in it the names of the evl.lowj of
soldiers ami sailors evhn served two inoutbs
iu prison nnd hnvo sioco dial.
Tho Ihlnl ami last new class of pensions
c.-)n.ift3 of all soldiers, sjllors or marines
evho have served six months In any war in
which tho United States haye been engaged
and who are fount), upon examination nv a
hoard of pension surgeons, to lie so disabled
3 to interfere with the performance of
manual labor. It la further provided
that all who have served in any war ami
nave readied tne ago or sixty two years
shall be placed on the roll, provided they
are compelled to earn n living by manual
labor. This bill has just been reported
tavorably from tho House Cominillee on
Pension, with every probability that it
will pass.
The bill for placing General Grant on the
retired ll't, which Mr. Edmunds introduced
iu the Senate on Wednesday, was aecoin
panled with tbe request that tho Committee
on Millitnry Affairs take action noon
with the least jHifsihla delay, for reasons
which the Sonutor suggested everybody
would understand, relerring of course, to
lha recent failure of the stockhrnking firm
of Grant and Ward in New York, by which
the General 13 said to have lost about $300,
000. But General Grunt's financial con
tlitinn notwithstaudinrtkia failure, is by no
means bad.
He Is tho beneficiary of a munificent
trust fund, the interest, on which at no
moro than four per cent, would amount to
i'J.OOO per annum a quiet sufficient sum
to keep the evnlf nway from tho door and
this Is secure from impairment, as it is ex
ampt from nsslgnnient.
As an illustrious soldier who served his
country well, Gen. Graut deserves well of
tho Government ami has certainly been
treated with most distinguished considera
tion ly the pontile. But neither the Gov
eminent nor the counliy lias anything t
do with his private affairs as the senior
parineroin nroiicr 8 linn evincli nas corns
to crief through bad mancgement.
Tho talk now is that the House will
probably adjourn on tho 23d or 30th of
June. The appropriation bills are nearly
all ready to bo reported to the House, ami
with them out of the way It is thought that
nothing can interfere with ad'ourument.
Her Von Eisendeckor, tho German niin
liter, has received a dispatch from tho
homo government informing him of hit
transfer to Baden, nnd tho appointment of
Herr Von Alyensieben, at present minister
at the Hajrue, to succeed him here. The
date of the change was not given and Min
ister Von Eisendesker will await further
particulars by mail.
As I wrole the prediction last weok that
tho Kellogg trial would bu a farce, I write
the fulfillment of the prediction now, only
Io say that the farce ia a great deal broader
oiiu than I bad any right to predict. That
there whs a preconcerted arrangement to
let Kellngg go scot free, is amply demon
straled by the fact that Ker who drew the
indictment purpoaclv left breaches in It
large enough to drivo through a coach and
four. With the dralls before him that hat)
been paid to Kellogg for bis official In
fluence, he chargrd in each ol the sovcral
counts that Kellogg hail been paid anil hail
received "lawlul money of tho United
Suites." Of cnurre Ibe testimony did not
bear out the allegation, nod of course nu
acquittal followed. Having thus been
thoroughly vindicated by lo.-hiiicalitles in
the legil proceedings, a tlerply concerned
public will be anxious to know tvhat sort
of a vindication is awaiting Kellogg at tho
hands of the Springer committee..

Borne Interesting Facts Concerning tho
Men who Stand Cloiott t) the Chief Exe
cutive. Visitors who, from curiosity nr business,
have called at the White House, must havo
been impressed by the courteous yet systo
miitio manner with which they were re
ceived nnd escorted through the mansion.
The gentlemen whose duty It la la receive
ail persona coming to tbo White House sro
Colonel E. S. Denmoro, Mr. John T. Kick
ard and Mr. T. F. Pentlol, and they have
occupied their present positions through the
various administrations since and even
during the war. Mr. Pendel was President
Lincoln's boily-guardi saw him to his car
nage the fatai nlclit on which bo visited
Ford's thaeter, nud he now has In his s
itession the blood-stained coat which Mr.
Linaoln wore em that memorable occasion.
There is not a public man in America to
tlav who ttoea not know, anil who Is not
known by, these gentlemen, ami Ilia re
miniscences of public nnt social lilo which
they can recount would fill n congressional
volume. During tho wearv vet exciting
years ol tne war; tnroiigii I lie moro peaceful

Hayes held the reins of government, und
when Garfield was shot, it was these men
who stood iu the executive mansion, wel
coming the advent nfrach now administra
tion, bowing ot ils departure, nnd receiving
both martyrs through its jtortals.
During that long, hot and neyer to bo
forgotten summer when President Garfield

all through that period these three men

in conversation with tno writer, (Jolouel
Densmore said:
"It ia impo-sible to describe the tortures
I have undertone. To bo compelled in
smile and treat the thousands ol visitors
who como hero daily with courlcslv when
one is in tho greatest agrny requires n tre
mendous cllort. All that summer I had
terrible headaches, heart-burn und a stilling
sensation uiai sometimes look away mv

fell severe pains in the Finnll of my bjok.

Instructions mt to go out ol the house but 1
remained on duly iieverlhele'P. You
would be surprised to know the union lit of
qiilinuei Iihik; on aoiita ttuys II wus us
iiiiicii as sixteen grains."
"Ami was Mr. Bickard badly off, too?"
"I should think he was. Wliv, time and
again we have picked him up and laid lilui
on the mantel, here iu the vestibule,lio was
eo necl up."
"Yes," exclaimed Mr. Ilicknnl, "I was ao

without help, and could only walk will

condition hert, all of us."
"And vet you lire all the embodiment of
health," Paul the writer, as he limited at the
three bright and vigorous men before him.
"un, yes," sant JUr. iucuarri, "wo have
not known what sickue-ss wua fur more
than n year."
"Have you some secret way of overcom
ing malaria and lu attend tut horror.?"
"I think we haye a most certain way,'
replied vuonel uenmnre, "but II la no
secret. You see, about two years Bgj my
wife began to grow blind, and I was alarm

of her lady tiiends advised her to trv

"I weigh ICO pounds today" said Mr.
Bickard, "and when my phvslciiius told
me over a year ago I could uol hopo to re

fiillin-uces you canuol wonder that I con
