PROMOTIONS IN THE Q. M.

On the contrary, the right to promotion in such case would, under the existing law, be gov- erned by seniority of commission irrespective of the past service of the officer.” POSTMASTER GENERAL KEY, Third Assist- ant Postmaster General Hazen and Hon.

CREEK INDIANS PARDONED BY THE PRES DENT.—The President has pardoned Ti-Ta-Ke. John Riley, John Hawkins, and Cub McIntosh, four members of the Creek nation, who were indicted for manslaughter (and Riley con- victed) in causing the death of one Choate Choctaw, negro, who was killed while evading arrest by the parties named, who were police officers of the Creek nation. ‘Choate, contrary to the Creek laws, attended a game of lacrosse within the limits of the Creek authority, about two years ago, with arms on his pee ne being in violation of the Creek laws prohibit- ing persons with any weapons about them THE POTTER INVESTIGATIO. The Closing Scene in this City. Alter our report of the proceedings before the Potter committee closed on Saturday, Mr. Kellogg, in answer to Gen. Butler, cited the names of members of the Mac Veagh commis- sion who had been appointed to oflice by the Hayes’ administration, and also as to Louisiana politicians cngaged in the protests and count receiving similar favors. He asked: Do you know of any special qualification on the part of these persons why they were appoinfed to office, except that they performed certain ser- vices in connection with Louisiana foluest If so, please state in what their qualifications consisted. / Mr. Hiscock objected to the question on the ground that the inference squght to-be drawn was that there had been something wrong done in Louisiana, and that these persons had been appointed for assisting in such wrong. GEN. BUTLER ON THE ADMINISTRATION CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. Mr. Butler—That is not so. My pointis this: The President has declared that no man should be appointed to office except for some high moral qualifications outside of political ones, as I understood the order. However, no two men have understood it alike, and y be mistaken about it. That being so, an in- ference might be drawn that if that great moral reform principle in politics was broken into, there must have been some strong in- ducement to do it. But I do not propose to £0 into that; all I wantis to get the simple facts. Mr. Hiscock.—That is what I am trying to get at—the facts, and I think it isa very vague and unsatisfactory way of getting at then nto ‘all a man as an expert upon the reason which prompted these appointments, and. have him state that these men had no special qualifica- tons for oflice. That is too speculative alto- gether, and nothing can be argued from it. ihe effect, of cow is to throw ridicule upon the Chief Magistrate of the nation, and I do not think that is the purpose of this inves. tigation. ‘Mr, Bitler.—I want to deny any intention to throw ridicwle upon the administration, but if 1 am driven to ii] will say th I do not think anything I can do will make it more aienlous than it has made itself in that par- teuli Mr. Hiscock.—I thank the gentleman for that remark. It characterizes the whole pur- pose of his inquiry. After further diseussion between Messrs. Butler and Hiscock, the chairman siated that as there had been acharge of a corrupt elee tion and return in Louisiana, it was pertinent to show that men connected with that matter had been appointed to office, and that that Was their only qualification for such oflive. He thought the question Was a proper one. The Witness.—With the exception of James E. Anderson, all the parties named I believe to have been appointed because they were competent to discharge the duties of their re- Spective offices, and they were men of sutti- cient character to justiry their appointment, and had also been true, consistent and work: ing republicans in the last campaign; and i think there are more republicans of | good el ‘ter who were ellicient and active in the unpaign Who ought to be appointed to oflics for that yery reason, if they are otherwise competent and uprigh’ . Senator Kellogg continued his testimony at ngth, detailing his Knowledge of violence terrorisin in Louisiana preceding the election. ADJOURNED TO MEET AT THE SEA-SHORE. The committee then, at 4:3) o'clock, went into executive session, and it was subsequent! announced that they lad determined to ad. journ the further sittings of the committee un- til the 23d July, at which time they would met at Allantic City, N.

OFFICIAL DISPATCHES, The Indian bureau received Saturday a dis- pateh from Agent Patten, of the Shoshones and Banneck agency, saying that “iwo lodges of Cheyenues eseaped from this agency yes- terday, going in the direction of Fort Kinney. Notify military at that post to look out for them. They are hostile.” The’ milita Fort Kinney have been accordingly notified the bureau to look out for the Indians. Avoiher telegram was received from H. A. Towne, superintendent U. P. R. X., saying: “Seven Red Lake chiefs ha ying letters of good character left here this a.m. by rail for Fort Berthold, and said they would return in a few days. Is itall right?” The bureau has tele- graphed to the Red Lake agency and to Fort Berthold for information on the subject. A dispatch from Agent Gheen, at Elko, Ne- vada, says: ‘‘I have just returned from north. All matters with Shoshones satisfactory. Will report immediately.” ; the following dispatch has been received by General Sherman: PRESIDIO, SAN FRANCISCO, July 12th, 1873.— Hada visit yesterday {rom Natchez and other chiefs of Piutes.

The French, however, as a general thing, are so strongly opposed to a draugh air, especially at night, that th their windows tightly closed, and do not open them until they rise in the morning. They give as their principal reason, that the foul air arising from the sewers, which are all opene during the niebt, is very dangerous.

The warm weather has somewhat diminish ed the crowds at the Exposition, but they ar still comparatively large, and the French aa thorities are so well pleased with the assured success of the affair, that there is considera: talk of extending the time of its closing till the first of December, or possibly the first of January.

The head is, of course, of colo: size, and is very handsome in design and work- manship. To-morrow is the day set apart as a national fete day in honor of the French Republic. In the morning this bronze head and the statue representing the French Republic, will be pub. inaugurated with the customary cere- $. ‘Lo-morrow’s fete will probably be one of the ndest that has ever been given, and nothing has been left undone by | the authorities and the people, individually, to celebrate the Republic in the most imposini manner possible. Already the streets are filled with the tricolor flags; but conspicuously among them can be seen waving THE STARS AND STRIPES. Americans are fond of displaying their tional banner over here; where, by the way, they appreciate it more than at home. But the French themselves take advantage of every opportunity to wave the colors of their sister republic beside their own. Upon the top of the Column of July, which marks the spot where the old Bastilé stood, and upon many other prominent places throughout the city the stars and stripes are given honored positions. THE SHAH OF PERSIA has been here for some time, and has been de- voting himself almost exclusively to study and observation. In addition to his personal de- sire for improvement, he has the good of his people at heart, and is contemplating the in- troduction of numerous mechanical appliances and European customs for the improvement of his country. He has visited the Exposition frequently, and has given considerable atten- tion to the municipal administration of P; ris, examining carefully the civil, military, educa, tional and hospital systems. A GRAND REVIEW of the army of Paris was held in honor of the Shah last Week at Long Champs, similar to the one held in his honor upon his former visit, in sii. There were between forty and fifty thousand soldiers present, and the sight, when one could get a glimpse, was something splen- did. The crowd was immense, and there was little room left for those who were not on hand bs although they might have tickets for good places. The seats in the grand stands were all occupied as early as half-past 10 o'clock in the morning. The affair was sup- posed to be entirely complimentary, but, although tickets were issued to so many more persons than the stands could hold, it was diiti- cult to get them for “compliment,” but they could be bought at the right places. The deméi-monde, of course,were the favored ones, as they seem to be at all such places, whether the tickets are for sale or are complimentary. TUE DEATH OF THE YOUNG QUEEN, MERCEDES, a few days ago, cast quite a gloom over the city, and the expressions of regret were marked and sincere. The Shah of Persi informed by ex-Queen Isabella of the oung Queen's death, was getting ready to attend the opera, for which he had engaged a private box, but he at once gave up the idea of goi i. Ex-Queen Isabella in her visits to the Exposi- tion is accompanied by a number of ladies. ‘They engage a rolling chair upiece, especially the ex-Queen, and form guite @ procession as they go sight-seeing. one behind the other. FRENCH WORKINGMEN AS SLEEP DISTURBERS. Paris is not a bad place to live ia until there is something to be repaired, or an addition to the house to be erecied ans outside your chamber window. Then the torment begins. The workmen come, O! so early in the morn: ing, and so many mornings.
