Pearson to be Postmaster of Ndw York city. This be 'does after a careful consideration of tbe whole case. We are bound to believe that bis motives were conscientious, and tbat he thought it to bo right to prefer this Republican over any Democrat who might bo found. In our judgment tbis appointment will produce a considerable shock in tbe Democratic party of New York : yet perhaps ws are mistaken. It will certainly please tbe Independent Republicans ; in fact, it is tbe one thing that tbev have asked for and insisted on. Considering that without them Mr. Cleveland could not have been elected, their recompense is not very large. Onr Damocratio friends may console them elves with the reflection tbat, while tbey bavo a Republican for a Postmaster, Le will make aa good a Postmaster as any Rep iblicin could ba expected to make.

The VBOOaXTW Maoaiivk. IIbooeltk, N. Y. FROM WASHINGTON Bpaclsl to the Uaasox Adtocati. Wasuinotok, March 28, 1885. Ex President Arthur will remain here, it Is said, until the close of next week. He has been entertained at dinner by his friends almost every night since ha left the While House. Nearly all of the leading members of the diploiustie rorps will have dined him before he leaves. Ther take this mrans nf returning courtesies whiah he extended to them during tha time be was President he could not enter tbe residence f any foreign Minister or accept thehos- Vitalities of snv character frnm them Secretary Bayard, it is rporlen. Is sp minting Caesuts and Consuls General abroad. He will ecleot, where. It Is possible to do so, either American citlseps residing at foreign points where rcprtsenlslires art required, or gentlemen who have had ex-1 rwrlenco In dlnlnmaev. Hia deal ta In obtain tho services of pernins who know aomelhiog of tba countries to which they are sccrelltet, such knuwledge, In hia esti mation being prerequisite. Mr. John W, A. Shaw, colored, of Flushing, Long Island, formerly editor of the Suflraglsl," a Damo cratio paper, devoted tn the Interests of the colored people nf New York, applied tn-.Ur to the President tn t appointed United Slates Consul at Antigua, In the West Indies. Mr, Bhsw is loilorfd by Mayor Grace and a large, number ol New York and Queens county (L. I.) leading Democrats. Us is a native of Antigua and received a cdlegiate education there. Some nf the Democratic politicians a foot to day to take no interest in the nomina tions tb President may send in, saying that he iacertiln to nsms for evety plaee soma one ther have never heard f, snd the sensation of surprise has ceased to bo. a novelty. The hotel lobbies are practically deserted. Many of the politicians have gone home disgusted, and a faw have be gun to affect modesty. A downright office seeker is hardly to ba found. The latest methad for an ex member of Congress who ia alter an appointment is to get his friends to circulste the statement that they have been trying to get him to make a break for something, but tbat he is too modest to do it. This is rxpeeled to be effective. The Indiana and Kentucky delegations are thor oughly diegustrd with the wsy things are going, Even Mr. Hendricks Is said to be vary much disaatitded with what he deems sentimental civil service. The number of malcontents is increasing everyday. The Eastern Democrats stsnd by tha President, however, and that makes It look very much as if there might before long bo a split in the party on those lines. An Eastern member, a Democrat, said to your corres pondent to day tbat tbe people ytho were doing all tbe grumbling wete those only who were disappointed about getting the offices. Tbe appointments tbat have been made, be said, were tbe best possible, and no one disputed it. Tbe same grumbling would be beard anyhow, and Cleveland showed bis wisdom by disregarding Con gressional influence fur as a general rule it was exerted in a bad cause, This is the genersl feeling smong the Eastern idea is likely to prevail in Cleveland' policy Tbey say that Mr. Claveland will do what he thinks ba ought to, and that the com bined efforts of all tha Democrats cannot make him go against bis judgment. One of the peculiar chsracteristics of our new President Gnds opportunity for display every day in the week, aud about every hour in the day. This is to find nut what people naturally expect tbe administration is going to do, and then do as ncarlr th opposite ol that expectation as possible. It has beou known here for a good while tbat the President snd his family were inclined to a belief in that good old Presbyterian doctrine that embraced infant damnation, and which was such a comfort to the old lady who congratulated herself upon th mighly small number that would comprise tho elect The New York Ave. Presbyter ian church, being the mnrt fashionable of those governed by deacons, naturally ex peeled that the President would choce that house as tho one best suited to administer his Sunday's spiritual food, aifd so the church on each Sunday since the inaugura linn lias been crowded as It never was crowded before, by an expectant throng anxious to tee Groyer under fire of a Wash ington preacher charged with a brimstone sermon. The President, however, disap pointed everybody, not only by not going to churi'h at all but by sending his family household to Dr. Sunderland's chuich, which fur some time has been steadily de dining tnwsrd final dissolution, ufaourse the presence of the Presidential family here will reyiye matters there materially. just as the Christian Church was put upon ils legs by the accession of Mr. Garfield four years ago, The nomination and immediate and unanimous confirmation ol Mr. George II Peudlaton as Miulster to Germany, ia the administering of a must gratetul and sooth ing balm for the soreness that Gentleman George experienced In his late defeat for the Senate by the Standard Oil Company. A the successor to Mr Karaon it is hard to say fioi." this standpoint whefber Mr. Pendle ton will please tbat large portion ol the American people who have no love for any rort ol aristocracy, and who will expect him to keep aloof from the Berlin courtiers. I believe, however, that I may hazard tbe o inion that Minister Pendleton will acquit himself to tbe ealislactitm ol Mr. Bayard. and that is more than can be raid of soma of his predecessors, In the general cleaning out of the official rubbish that bss gathered in tbe saversl departments of the Govercmant, we felicl taled upon the abolition of tha laudaulette and coupe attachments, without which it S'emed impossible for past administrations to get along. Mr. Lamar, in the Interior Department, and Mr. Garland, inthe.De partment of Justice, have orders! the horses aud equipages attached tn thnie branches to be sold to tbe highest bi Jilt r. and tbe official who cannot ride in a street car to attend to his duties or to make social calls, can pay for his own livery or go nn foot. This is evidently ao administration that prnjmsea to ignore cnati-ol arms and tbe other insignia ot adorned snobbery. Broairini'sM York Letter. Special to the Casbox Advocate : An interesting problem is being rapid ly solved which will settle tbe question for some years, at least, as to what ia really tbe metropolia of tbe nation. New York has tbe age, tbe weultb, the social position, tbe mercantile prestige, tbe national recognition. Ou tbe other side of a narrow river connected by tbat magnificent bridge wLIoh may well be regarded as tbe eighth wonder of tie world, is Brooklyn, which twenty years ago was regarded as a sort of rural out post for its proud and opnlent neighbor. Rockaway was tba only spot which tbe wildest dream of tbe poets of those days thought of a watering place uear the city; Coney Island tbo beautiful, was merely marked as a sandbank on the map of the nntiou; and Manhattan llaach, with Levy, Pat Gilmore and tbe Chiuese fireworks, was yet onkuowu to lbs chil 1'reu of men, but a change has come over the spirit of our dreams. Tweuty five years ago New York was Dearly five times as large as Ilrooklyn, to-day it it only one-half larger. Oae dirty little theatre and one minatrel ball, indifferently pat, rouized, then furnished tbe great bulk of Its amusements, and few self-respecting actors even imperilled their reputation by rentarlng over the other side of the wer. Now eight or nioa theatres are nightly crowded with lager patrous, aud the best aotors and singers in tba laud coasldtr tbtmstlits foituuatt in stout' ing engagements in the bailiwick of our imtarnrlHtnrr ne1tf1it,AF. Tn ft,a -nntta nf preaching. It goes witbont aayiug, tbat Brooklyn has for many yenrs bold a fore. most place in tbe country Bjeeber In Plymouth Cburcb, Dr. Utorrs in tbe Ohrroh of the Pilgrlmi, DeWilt Tal mags at bis Tabernacle,Dr. Hall of Holy Trinity, aud the Rev. John CbsdwicE, tht champion nf Uuttarianism of Angeli ca, an accomplished robot ir and gentle man, who combines the geulns of Emer son with the sweet persuaslveteia aud etoqnenoe of C'uauulcg. An Iuounc'ast wheu Iconoclastic sacrifioa would ad vanoe tba cause of truth, yet a rare and pious builder ot tbe good, the beautllui aud tbe trua. With all these advantages It is not sur prising tbat Brooklyn has become the city of homes. More people own their homes among the 700,000 inhabitants of Brooklyn, than among the 1,400,000 of the City of New York. Brooklyn.thougb tbe fourth city lu tho land in point of population, bas none of the rookeries, alums or gambling hells tbat we have on tbis side of the river. Though one of the most accomplished pickpockets in the world, Wesley Allen, Uvea there, be never attempts to ply bis vocation inside the Brooklyn city limits. If be gets short of money or wants to make a de posit for missionary purposes, be comes over tn New York, and generally suc ceeds in netting what he wants. No bad oharactera pora.de its streets; shop-lifters and rascals generally give it a widf berth, and while it may occasionally furnish a sensational elopement, a first class murder, or sample rascals like Ferdinand Ward, President Fisb, and others of like ilk it is when compared with otbor places of its siz) a very rt- spectahla and moral city. Rapid transit in a few weeks will be an accomplished fact, aud with rapid transit will come the great Increase of Brooklyn's popula tion. New York bas no nutlet for its laboring poor. Manhattan IslaLd is eo small, tbat the tenement bouse with all of its abominations is their only resonrce, but Brooklyn stretchos away for miles into tho sweet and wholesome country, tbe sea is ou every side, there is no BUcb city for comfortable homes for tbe poor on tbe continent of America, if in the world. Here then is tbe solution of a great social problem. Vice lu itn worst and most repulsiye forms is indissoluble engrafted on tbe tenement house system there never can be such a tbing as borne in a tenement house.and in Brook lyn the poor labirer can get a eomforta bio little house for tbe same rent tbat be pays for a filthy tenement iu tbe city of New York. In five years it is altogether probable tbat Brooklyn's population will exceed a million. There are not many cities in the laud tbat touch tbat figure. Brooklyn bis none of tbe oolossal for tunes tbat we have ou tbis side of the riyer. There is nn ru in there worth fift or a hundred millions, but there are thousands worth anywhere from $50,000 to S500.000. In twenty-five or tbirtj yeara it is possible that tbe popalstlon of Brooklyn will exceed tho population of New York, and btcorua tho gro.it cily of tha contiuent. New York bas no sucl storehouses for thetdoringof commercial uoods as Brooklyn. Nuwhere in New York ran a vessel go into dock right alongside of tbe storehouse and discharge ber cargo. Wlruves line Brooklyn on every ide with abundance ot deep water for the mightiest steamships, nnd it mn be iu tbe tnture, uuless tbe two cities are united, tbat Brooklyn will ebter the race for commercial supremacy. A few Years ago a man from Brooklyn traveling nbroad Invariably sigued himself, John Smith, New York. No Brooklynite doe this now; in faot, be makes it u point to let outsiders understand that he conies from the Long Island cud of the bit! brldge.aud be signs himself.J. Coiumbn Smith, Brooklyn, h I., aud unless be is in foreign parts be scorns to put on the N Y-, and substitutes U. S. . A complicated case of divorce gave tbe oonrts food for nflection, and the law. yers one of the hardest legal nuts to crack th-it has troubled tbem for some time. A woman sued ber husband for Hhandonmeut nnd support; be claimed that she bad a husband liviug wben he married her, of which fact, at tte time, bo was totally unaware; she on the otbet band claims tbnt she was never legall) married before, as tbe man whom she once supposed ws her husband had two wives living wheu .she uiairied him The court record was produced when husband number two was tried and con victed of bigamy, but the other lawyer showed where the casebad been appealed, and the Supreme Court reversed the de cision of the Court below, as both of the women said to be bis wives had bust ends liviug at tbe time. Tbey were all very much married, and now tbe Court is try ing to fiud out who is who. llerr Sonnentbal has left us for the Konigs Theatre nt Vienna, and he carries back to bis Austriau borne tbe goid wishes of our entire German population. and ii birf bag of American guilders. He bas mide more in two weeks iu New York than be could make In two years in Vienna. His eugagemeut was lor SI000 per uigbt, and all Lis expenses of every kluil and character paid from the mo ment be jumped into his cab at Vienna to go to the railway elation, till be w binned back at his own door again. Not n bottle of beer, not a dish of saur-krant. not a pretzel did this lucky actor have In pay for, he was wiuvd aud be was diued; he was taken everywhere, aud he saw the elephant free of expense. He could have eaten fifty meals a day and never paid a cent, and aside from tha $15,000 secured to him be had an interest iu tbe profits over a certain amount, and tbat little in terest amounted to tbo nice little sum of $5 000 more, making 20 000 bard dollars tbat we paid Herr Hoonentbal for two weeks fun, but it is all right, everybody is satUfied, managers, audience, fetors. ever j body; and I baye uo doubt tbat Herr Sonueutha! goes back to Vienna with a much more exalted idea of Uncle Simuel's dominions than be bad wben be arrived here a couple of weeks ago, One thing most unquestionably raised tbe American character iu tbe estimation of this talented German, wheu be ex amined tbe sizs of onr breweries and saw our capacity for lager, there could be no reasonable doubt ou bis mind that we were a truly great people. But be bss gone from our gza like a leautlful no not a dream, for be ia far -too sub atautial for that, but something very nice be Las a pockst full of gold watch es, a largo valise full of lockets, rings, pins, ohalus, brtoeletsl aud ulck-uacks too numerous to mention. At the steamer tbe Geiman population surged and seethed Hruund like the wave of an angry sea. The cabin was filled with fluwers from one eud to the other, and when you consider that five dollars does not go very far on Jacqnmeta or Marshul Niels you may judge what the outlay was. But he is gone, and now we are asking who will take tbe next $20,000, but don't talk about Lard times. If any of Ibe'young athletes up your way are spoiling for a fight, tell them not to ga to Montana or Canada, or tbe North Pole. C)me to New York, it it tbe safest and most profitable place on the continent for a mill. It is not very long since we looked upon tbe whole of the buffing crew as about ou a level with pickpockets and burglars, but tbat la all altered now. Doctnis take a quiet round iu tbe back parlor with their convales cing patients; biokers keep four ounce boxmg gloves in their private deska; more than one eminent cltrgyman has a sand bag bung up iu bis cellar, and grave old bankers are aa well posted in tae Marquis of Qiecnsberry rules as Richard K. Fox or Harry Hill. Every day we bare accounts of finely tongbt battles, winding up with tbe intelligence that neither of tbe pugilists received much punishment; one neatly had bis arm broken and six of his teeth knocked out, and the other fortunately got tfl without much dama;e, only four of bis ribs smashed and the loss of his left eye. Tbe demoralizition is thorough and complete. On Wednesday night 800 ol onr swellest swells met at tbe Athletic Club, aud twenty pairs of our gilded joulbs pummelled each ether to tbeir hearts content.

Tbe exhibition of tbe Seney collection ot pictures bas oaused a greater sensation in art circles than anything tbat bas oo curred since tbe sale of the collection ot John Taylor Johnson a few years ago, but there was tbis difference iu tbe two collections: one was bought by au ex perienced aud couscieutious judge of art nud tbe other by a man who knew noth ing about it.

On Wednesday last tbere was a big day tn the Senate and a correspondingly quiet one in the House. Mr. Grady, lu tl c Senate, oflered a resolution providing that after April 1st no more hills shall be read In place.' After some debate the resolution wis so amended as to read April sth, when It was referred to the committee on nuances. Mr. Sutton offered a resolution fixing MnyCth as the day for final adjournment of the Senate, rids resolution was refirred to the si.nio committee as the one above. On Wednesday evening the IIouso met for the purpose of holding appropriate m mor tal senicos In honor of the trio deceased members. Many eloquent speeches were made and the praises uf the deprrted mem bers were sounded In the most eloquent terms, by those members who were asked to speak In their honor. Speaking of apportionment to a member the other day, he said to me that It is now generally conceded that If this legislature docs not makcun apportionment before they adjourn, the Governor will call an extra ses sion and demand of them again to perforin their duty. In that event, remarked the Legislator, I will resign. There Is not much doubt now hut.lhat an apportionment w III bi effected, a hill will certainly he passed but whether the Governor will sign It Is am ther question. He has already signified his in tention of vetoing tiny hill that does net di vide the districts Into compact 'and contigu ous territory nud It Is not very likely that the hill that will be passed will comply strictly with the constitution in this respect. Tues day and Wednesday nftei noons has been set apart fur the consideration of apportionment work, at which time the merits and demerits of the rcspcctlie hills will he fully discussed. Chris. Magcc, the big headed, statesniaii from Pittsburg, was here last week looking after tho Senators from his district so that they would not go w rong on the lkillit bill. Chris Is u handsome looking man and Just us good n boss as they can Dud for this scctlou of the State. He neier says much hut does n big amount of thinking and looking. The high license bill Is uttractlug some at tention. One of the members, who no doubt Is desirous ot purchasing his whisky as cheap as possible, made a speech against tlw bill. Ho denounced It as a temperance movement and said he hud no s)inp.itliy wllhthcso temperance fanatics, etc. This same member made a speech in favor of the scientific educational bill. All the buildings about the Hill are to be lighted with electricity soon which will be a great Improvement oer the poorgus which has been furnished for some time. One .of the members elected lately to rill the place of ix deceased member Is paralyzed In both arms and must be fed and cared for by his wife who Is his constant companion. He is a good nolltlcluu nevertheless. The oil bill, as It is called, which Is to pre vent dealing In stocks ou margins was called up In tho House on Monday for final passage and was defeated; so now the stock gamb lers will still have fair play. The bill which was to tlx the salaries of county olllcers was also defeated at the same time. On Tuesday afternoon the Scientific Edu cational bill came up fur final passage iu the House. The temperance ladles were present and did some good lobbying. The bill passed by a vote of lai to 38. '1 his bill had created great Interest among the legislators and when its final passage was announced clap plug of hands was started on the ltepubli can side of the House and was kept up for sometime. The ladles In the gallery waved their namiKcrcnicis, smiled, bowed and be gan to file out of tbe House. Some members put themselves In a very had light while this question was being discussed, especially to lid Crawford of Philadelphia, who came out boldly and denounced the bill and In his ic marks said that five thousand saloon keep ers In Philadelphia would take fifteen thous and children nut of the common school-. He said he believed In leachlux the children common sense There will not be much trouble with the hill lulhe Senate.
