When a veporter asked hiw, tho other day, whether he was o Jlayes or Conkling man, ho promptly replied that hie was oliler than either of them, and that thost f{wo young men should follow hins; not ke they, The real guestion in his mind was whether they wepe Townsend men, That was & eleyer way of putting it. But deep down In Mr, Townsend’s mind, there way vrobably the' still moro lnportant reflection, that1E°a quiet man at Mentor should be for him, it wouldn't make much diference if Ilayes end Conkling should be against him, ‘Tur Indlan Government hins at last elosed np its nccounts for the Afghan war, und (hey I I the round “sune of $100,000,000, vt §70,- 00,000 more than the highest estlmate, and £85,000,000 more thun tho estimato mude by Lord Lylon when Governor-General of .

Any motfon o take Mr. Matthews’ caso away frone the Judiciary Conumitteo will be debat- nble, and It 3t shall assume that form Mr. Jlatthews may ns well abandon all hope of confirmutlon. Theve are sone curlous clreumstances at- tending tho nomination of Jr. Matthews, and o effort tu secure his conlirmation, which ean scarcely ndd to the merits of his case. 1t Is said that the President is veluted to Mr. Matthews by marringe, and this statement. is not enlenlnted to uceount In a creditable way for the byeach of propriety In nominating Nim in splte of wall-grounded protest, aud to the neglect of States and cirenits that wero clearly entitled to recognition betore Ohfo shoull recelve any new places on the Su- vremoe Beneh. The principnl influence ox- erted In favor of Mr, Matthews Is likewlse baged upon purely personal grounds. My, Henry Watterson has undertaken to secute for him the support of the Southern Demo- ocratic Senntors, and Mr, Watterson s sald to be moved malnly by the fuct that Stanley Matthews Is his uncls or n near refutiveo of some othor grade.
