COLLECTOR WILKINS, of Baltimore, who Was requested to send in his resignation to make rcom for Collector Johu L. Thomas, his successor appointed by the President on Friday last, says he will not resign; that he has received numerous telegrams from prom- inent republicans in the state urging him to stick. and that he is satisfied the President was led to ask bis resignation by misrepre- sentationus of his opponents.

The halls that have been thronged daily since President Hayes’ inauguration with hungry office-seekers. were vacant, and the extra chairs scatte: about were the only reminder of thedays that kept Chariey and Arthur, the door-swingera of the President and his private secretary, so constantly on the go. Those two worthies were engaged to-day In clearing their desks of the ‘teboard accumulations, endorsed with ‘desires to see the President on very particular business, only for @ moment.” By the time the President returns, the army of office-seekers will have filled the places of those who were appointed or disappointed, and will attack the White House as vigor- ously as ever. NAVAL ORDERS.—Surgeon Edward Keash- ner, ordered to special duty in atten ling officers of the navy and marine corps not atherwise provided with medical aid at New York and Brooklyn; Passed Assistant Sur- geon A.

"If the Cay tain does not receive this Sppointment Iwill send in writing the whole case and more than that.” Commissioner Bently says that he has reason to believe that the person in whose behalf this letter was written is in no way responsible for 1". Cur Justice WAITE IN CHARLESTON. Afier the return of Chief Justice Waite from Cherleston be mentioned the fact that he had Tecelved no social calls while in that city to several of bis personal friends. An allusion to this was made in this Cm pomp while at the same time istinctly authority. noibing else to do, immediately mn. selvi 8 to work to annoy the chief justice, and to represent to bim that he had been charged With complaining of the lack of social atten- ton shown to him at Charleston. The Charleston papers all admitted that no so- cial attention was paid to him during his stay in that city, and gave explanations of “the reason. But the chiet Justice has been 80 much annoyed by the ition in which he bas placed by that he has felt im: to write a to Gov. Aiken, of Bout ina, ich he says that he im guilty Office-Holders in Politics. THE PRESIDENT'S VIEW A special to the New York Tiznes from this city says:—Gentlemen who have talked with the President touching his recent letter to federal office holders say he is very earnest upon this question, and ex a determi- fon to rigidly enforee its instructions. When asked how far an officer may go in taking part in election affairs without be- coming liable to removal, the President re- plied that it ts not intended to prevent or discourage federal officials from taking part in political affairs, but their services to the arty must not be at the expense of the pub ie tervice, nor will they be permitted to lake advantage of any power aud influence which may attach to their official positions to influence political conventions aud control caucuses, They may devote to politicsall the time not required by their public duties, and spend as much of theirown money as they choose, but they must do this without in- fringing upon their public duties and by conducting themselves generally the same as though Wey Were not connected with the puolic service. The interference of federal officers in the preliminary work of elections is what the President desires to correct, and he believes the only effectual way todo’ this is to prevent these persons from putting themselves forward as controlling spirits in conventions, and as leading members of committees charged with the conduct of political campaigns. This is nonew theory With the President. He referred tothe case | of Col. Wykoff, of Ohio, who, in the last Presidential campaign, was chairman ofthe nd adjutant general Although his own election as . Hayes notified t approve of his tisan committee and holding th ijutant general of Obio at the same time, and that he would be required to give up one of the two places. In pprsuance of that notification from Governor Hayes, Col. Wy Koff mission, that he m campaign in Ohic notorious that the cities have been run in the Interest of Ohio state committee of the state. t The President says it is federal offices in some large tions, ard for the purpose of sec the preferment of ‘certain individas and for the defeat and punishment of others, the power and iniluence of the offices being frequently used for the prefer- | ment of the office holders themselves. “It is this condition of affairs,” said the Presi- dent, “that I desire to correct, and 1am de- | same warm greetin termined to show my earnestness and sin- | and Messrs. Key am cerity to produce reform in this direction by | ply. making an example of the first federal offi- cer who shall violate the order issued on Saturday. Every man must be left free to act for himself in political matters, without dictation or intimidation from men possess- ing special opportunities for influencing po- litieal resulis by reason of holding public cfices.” Those who have conversed with the President on this subject are convinced that he is determined to enforce the spirit of his letter, and that be will direct the removal of the frst official reported for its violation. SMOKFD FISH In various stages of decom- position have been sent from Atlantic cities to the distant west by mail, and the depart- ment is taking ae to prevent such viola- tons of the postal laws. Some of the mer- chants in Arizona receive three-fourths of \beir eastern goods by various kinds of mail ata cost of 8 cents a pound, against 39 to 4 cents a pound by express. No Porirics In THE NAVY YARDS.—The Secretary of the Navy has issued a circular directing commandants of navy yards and Stations to see that laborers shall be em- ployed in the several navy yards with refer- ence to skill and efficiency, and without regards to political or other considerations; tbat none be discharged for political opinions, and that they shall not be requested to con- tribute for political purposes.

AMFRICAN BISHOPS APPOINTED —An Asscciated Press telegram irom Rome say« ‘hat at a Covststory held yesterday the Pope appointed the Right Rev. Louis M. Fink, the present Vicar Apostolic of Kansas, to b> Archbishop of that State, and the Right Rev. James Gibbens, D. D., the present Bishop o Iichmord, Va., “a8 successor of the Most James Roosevelt Bayley, D. D., Arch- hop of Paltimore.” The Baltimore Amer- jean explains that: The use of the word “successor” would lead to the inference that Bishop Gibbons was to become the Arch- bishop of Baltimore at once, and not merely coadiutor, with the right of succession. It has been known for some time that Bishop riate mé Gibbons was to be appointed coadjator of | P Archbishop Bayley, but ithas not heretofore | Texound with been intimated that the right reverend gen- Ueman was to assume the latter's position, except in the event of his death.

WASHINGTON IN SUMMER.—Whoever finds fault with Washington in June knows pot what a beautiful city or a perfect cl mate is. From the Soldiers’ Home suuth- ward to the Potomac, and from the Exstern branch westward to the heights of (ieorge- town, the wide streets are all well kept, the humerous reservations green and glorious with verdure, and fountains here and there play incessantly. The dust and mud of tea or fifteen years ago have disappeared, and the soldier of the late war who rewembers the city as a straggling. overgrown village, in the streets of which he was alternately suffocated by the one and plastered over by the other, would hardly know the city of Washington as it now is.—[ Wash, Cor. Lewis toa ( Me.) RVATIVE NEGRUES IN VIR- ‘The Richmond (Va.) Dispatch of Friday says: “A new question as to the primary election has been raised—namely, Shall colored conservatives be allowed vote? We should think that such a question world not trouble the city committee long. To open the ballot box to negroes is to open itto.rand.

But few of te boatmen were up, and two of these hailed him from the tow path to stop, that they wished to tell him something, ec = in replied that he badn’t time, and would stop in Cumber- land. By this time the other boatmen were up, and three shots were fired, more for the purpose of intimidating than with any in- tention to kill. The captain, however, sped on and arrived in port yesterday evening. On Friday there were ‘about forty boats stopped, but as some boats have been stop- ped since, the number has very likely in- creased to sixty, Which Unrows abeut two hundred and fifty people out of employ- ment. With so large a number of boats ly- ing in line, it would be impossible for mule boats to pass singly. if it is the intention of the strikers to compel obedience to their orders. Yet itis the duty of the company and the state to see that this highway be keptclear, We woull like to see the boat- men successful in equalizing the freights, but we hope it will be done oy persuasion and by proving to those unwilling to enter the combination that tt is necessary to take such action, but when they undertake to patrol the tow path and compel submission. the state must take the matter in hand, and then the boatmen will be worse off than be- fore; for they will be cengnaeet by force, and once broken up in that way there wilj be no power of cohesion among them after wards.
