BURCHILL was today ap- pee by the President to be postmaster at ‘ert Worth, Texas. Is THE Case OF Cart. HOUSTON, of the marine corps, nominated and confirmed by the Sanate to be a major,subject to examination,the Attor- Ley General has decided that Major Houston 1s enutied to bis position without examination, as there is no law that requires officers of the marine corps to pass an examination preliml- nary to promotion. Av THE WHITE Hovss.—Secretary Ltncoin, Justice Fields, Senator Plum, Representatives Richardson and Ryan, ex Representative Crit- tenden, ex-Senator Henderson, ex-Senator Harris (La.), Register Bruce and Gen. Long- street were among the President's Callers to- day. Senator Harris, Gen. Hunton, Represen- tative Urner, ex-Senator Clayton and the Chil- jan minister and his secretary of legation called on the President this afternoon. To Wuom CrEpir 1s Dvug.—In the descrip- tions of the Farragut statue and its surround- ‘pgs there has been a failure to give proper credit to the creator of that little beauty spot of the city in which the statue Is placed,—Gen 0. E. Babeock. When the city improvements were in progress this intersection of Conuecti- Cut avenue, lith and K streets, was a horrid hole—a dumping lot for all the refuse of this and adjacent neighborhoods. Gen. Babcock, at this time commissioner of public buildings and Cee bad the place graded, fenced, parked and improved of his own volition; and to bis foresight and taste Washington Is In- debted for Farragut Place. as well as for many other improvements on the public grounds that add materially tothe beauty of the city and to the health and enjoyment of the people. THE TREASURY EXxrgpiTeRs.—Secretary Win- dom to-day had a long conference with the members of the committee which investigated the Treasury expediters. The Secretary has taken no action of which the report would ba the basis up toa late hour this afternoon. He had a conference this afternoon with the Prest- dent upon this subject. Action will not belong delayed. The attempt made to connect Major Power, chief clerk of the Treasury department, with the ‘expediters” is without ground. Ever since he hag been eblet clerk Major Power has been working to uproot the admirable system of “expedition” which he found tn vozue. FIGHT FOR THE PLACE OF JUSTICR OF THE Pyack.—There is belng a stout fight made sgalrst Mr. 8, C. Mills to prevent the President trom carrying out his disposition to appoint Mr. Mills a justice of the peace to succesd Mr. Simon Wolf resigned. A delegation walted on the Attorney General yesterday aftceraoon and protes'ed agalzst the appointment. Judg+ Noah is very active in his opposition to Judge Mills. It appears that the Attorney General recommended Mr. Wililamson for the place, and It was thought that he would get it. At: torney Riddle and others of prominence ap- peared in favor of Mr. Mills, and with other in- fluences the tide was turned in his favor. Tae other side 1s now getting inits work. If is a small cfice, but a strong fight is made over It. Mr. Mills has filled the position of magistrare with credit inthe past, and his appointment would no doubt be acceptable lo the communt- iy. SENATORIAL ELECTIONS —As in New Hamp shire there 1s 80 serious objection urged to its legislature electing a Senator now to til a yacarcy which will not occur until Mareh, 1883, attention 1s again called to the fact that the Lou'siana legislature legally elected in Jat uary, 1580, a Senator—Hon. Kandall Gloson— fill @ vacancy to oceur in March, 183. ‘This was because both brancues of its legislature is elected for four years, and thero would be n meeting of a freably elected legis] iture be 180 and January months aiter the Senate, The principle 1s of course the sam whether It would be three months as in N: Hamp: hire, cr ten THE PRESIDENT Wit Leave THE City Saturday moruing for Lovg Brinch Ina sp car.

A young man in this cit:, @ rerident, recollects the day after the assas- sination narrowly es-aping being arrested tor the seme reason. This was Mr. Cooley, who creatly resembled Wilkes Booth in appearance. Not only this, but a party of young friends who were standing on Pennsylvania avenue, near Willard’s, discussing Cooley’s arr: escape and laughing over it, came hear gettias into cerlous trouble the ves from the mis. apprehension of some 443 person as to the cause of their “unseemly mirth on such a day.’ Bips WERE BeixG Orenxp at the Past OMice department to-day to supply the department with stationery for the next fiscal year. ‘There were twelve bidders in all.

A PROTEST FROM Vixginia.—A telegram from Harrisonburg, Va, says that a delegation of white and colored republicans, headed by Gen. W. ©. Wickham, will leave Virginia to-day and call upon President Garileld to progest against Bis ros Sides with the Mahone republican coalition. Boru in Kentvcky Horses.—Senator Beck and Representative Thompson, of Kentucky, are inthe city. The achievements of the colts of Kentucky horses abroad lateiy have already bad the effect of ralstng the value of the blood- €d racing colts In that state to Cee figures.

In caspase therewith, a freee to day, wrotea letter complying ‘Ww! e re- quest, and briefly reviewing his administra- Uon of the office.* It is expected that Marshal Dudley, of Indiana, will be appointed, to suc- ceed Mr. Bently. Toa Star representative to-day, Mr. Bentiy said he had no regrets at leaving the office in a ersonal or pecuniary sense, but he did feela fittiedisconcertea at being requested to give it up after, in a four years’ war, he had succeeded in the fight agatnst a ring of claim agents. What Gen. Longstreet Says. Gen. Longstreet arrived in the city to day He called to pay hisrespects to the President. Gen. Longstreet is looking remarkably well He sald to a Srar reporter, that he would have liked very well to have staid at Constantinople had it not been for family reasons. He wil! Temain here only a short time, entering upon his duties as marshal of Georgia July ist. In ref- erence to the statement that heis to bulld up the republican party On the Mahone plan, Gen. Longstreet said he knew nothing of it. He certainly would do anything he could for the party in Georgia, but did not think that there was any brilliant prospects for 1t. The Matter of Chang ury. WHAT MR. CARSON SAYS ABOUT IT. About @ month ago the rumor was current that Mr. John M. Carson, the Washington cor- respondent of the New York Tinse, was to be appoinied one of the assistant secretaries of the Treasury. This rumor has again prevailed within the last forty-elght hours. To-day a STax representative called upon Mr. Cargon and im the Treas- asked him plumply if he had received any no- tice of hi rospective appointment. Mr, Car Son sald: “I am not a candidate for assistant secretary of the Treasury, nor for any other office, A pumber of friends have, from time to Ume, spoken to me about taking that place tn case there should be a change, ana it is proba- ble that these friends have mention@i me to the Secretary in uhe same manner. It is not true that Secretary Windom has tendered me one of the ascistant secretaryships.” “Would you take the piace if tendered?” asked THE Stax. “Well,” said Mr. Carson, “I don’t care to make an attempt to leap the fence untill reach it. When the place 15 tendered I will deter- mine what I will do. In the mean time, no oa: inc.uding Secretary Windom, wlil be annoyed with importunities from me. ' I think 1t would be unfalr to Mr. Upton to make a change at th 8 time, because of the manner in which bis name has been connected tu some newspapers with the pending investigation in that department, Idon’t believe he was cognizant of the petty dishonesties alleged to have been practised in the disbursement of the contingent rund. You know that under the system ot routine prevatl- ing in the departments an officer who Is 1a fact responsible 1s obliged to depend largely upoa the honesty of subordinates, and to frequently sign papers of the real Gerpore of whicn he ts ignorant. In this way Mr. Uoton, whlie chier clerg, may have ‘inadvertently approved acts, and expenditures that sented to him as all custodiabs that were not strictly correct. This, of course, is unfortunate, but it 1s llaple to happen to the most careful officer uader the antiquated system of red tapelsm prevalent ta all the departments, and particularly prevalent in that of the Treasury departinent. It mighi happen to the Secretary himself. Indeed, there ean be no doubt that the report counee'fag, in & vague way, Mr. Sherman’s name with alleged irregularities in the disbursement of the con- ‘ingent fund rests upon no firmer foundation than upon that deserived. Mr. Upton has served the Treasury long and eflitently, and to retire him now in view of what has beea pub- licly said about this conUngent fund business would be cruel. It is. p-rhaps, natural that the new Secretary would like to have a man of his ction at the desk now ozcupted by Mr. 'pton, and it i3 not unlikely that Secretary Windom -will so inform Mr. Upton when th Proper time arrives. But whatever may be th Sccretary’s purpose or desire in this regard, Mr.Upion is entitled to be treated with decency 4d fairness on account of his faithtut servic to the government in all the positions he h occupied, aud I am sure he will receive suc treatment from Secretary Windom.” HE STAR,—“Do you believe there will be auy changes in the Treasury?” Mr. Carson —‘'I believe there ought to b2, but don’t know whether there will.

Yesterday Mrs. Garfield rode out for the first time since her illness began, oa the 4th of May. She Is now s0 mich better that the President expects to take her to Long Branch on Satur- day. He has engaged apartments for her at a quiet hotel there. Her friend and phystclan, Dr. Boynton and his wife, will accompany ner. ‘The President will remain there a short time. His children will go to the Soldlers’ Home. It 1s now believed by those In a position to know the facts, that Mrs. Garflela’s illness was wholly due to the effects of altting so long in the hot sun the day the Farragut statue was unvelied, her system belng depressed by having gone through ten months of excessive fatigue and Lervous excitement. Yesterdsy the Chinese legation here received by wail the official announcement of the death of the dowager Empress of China, who diea April Sth, and only now the term of court meurning for the legation here hag really begun, abd must continue for a fixed term, notwithstanding the fact that ever since the fixet news was received unoffictally in April Ubrough the newspapers the ladies and gentle- Tren of the legation have on account of the Empress’ death accepted no taovitations to focal entertainments, Tne legation received the rews by telegraph from China some weeka 80, Dut that was uot regarded as an official nO ification, a8 is the news by mall from the court.

BALLOTING AT ALBANY. The Bribery Investigation. THREATENED INVASION OF MEXICO. THE ALBANY DEADLOCK. A Ray of Hope—ftesult of the Bri- bery Inve: Think it Over”?—Depew’s Prospects Less- ening—Press Opinions. [Special Dispatch to ihe Evening Star. ALbany, N. Y., June 16 —Tne first sign that has appeared pointing towards a settlement between the two factions is in the appointment. of a committee of nine at the haif-breed con- ference last night on the plea of necessity in the management of the canvass. The real pur- Pose of the committee Is to recelve propositions and suggestions from the stalwart leaders for & combination to let them out of this deadlock. It thus cpens the door for the formal presenta- Uon of a plan for adjustment tn a manner that it can be brought before the half- breed confer- ence for discussion, and in that manner bring it toa focus. Itis insisted that no proposition Will be received or considered by the half-breed3 that does not embrace the withdrawal abso lutely of Conkling and Platt from the canvass. Further developments in the investigation may, however, cause a change of mind even on that point, for they are tracing checks and bills too close home for the peace of mind of some of the half-breeds, ‘Two or three cf the stalwart politicians, headed by ex-Congressman Smart, have urged upon Mr. Conkling personally to take his name out of the Contest es a candidate. ‘They in- formec the ex-Senator that he could not be re-elected; that it had been demonstrated to be Impossibie. and his continulpg in the rac: was only injuring his trends and sacrificing them with no good results; but if he would con- sent to withdraw a canvass could be made which would insure the election of his (Conk itpg’s) fvlerfis to the Senate. The ex-Senator Wanted to know ifthat would not elect Mr. Cornel? To this the reply Was made that it depended how he arranged his withdrawal. At that point the subject was cropped with a promise of the ex-Senator to think it over. The abandonment of Depew by two of lis former supporters created a breeze in the halt- breed ranks, and shows that the investigation ard bribery charges are having their effect upon bis canvass. The guns of the sralwarts ure all aimed at Depew. He 1s the target ana objective point of all tietr attacks. He iscom- Felled to receive all the blows, and while he is mage the instrument to break down the stal- warts, he 1s placed where his election is next to impossible. Some one else will obtain the fruit after he has shaken the tree; and yet per- ey nota word can be sald against Mr. epew. he evidence of Mr. Sessions as to his con- Lection with nuterous operations in the lobby 4g not pleasant for the moralists of the party to contemplate. His visit to Barber’s room immediately upon the close of the first talk with Bradley, when the latter states he r fured the offer cf the one thousand, goes to ct roborate Bradley's story, as do Dumerous other circumstances admitted by Mr. Sesstons. ‘The purpose of Mr. Conkling i3 to continue the investigation and expose the half breads. The Journai calls this an effort of the pot to cail the kettle black, It attacks Grant and the Stalwarts In a fierce manner, The Erpress, the stalwart organ, charges all of the fight here and the disruption of the party as the fault oft a party tyrannized over by Blaine. It charg¢s that there fs trouble Obio, intimating that the stalwarts will re- venge themselves by defea‘ing Fo-ter there Th its leading articie to-day, it Says that “Gar- fle'd treats Senator Conkiing in the most un- grateful and ungractous manner, and then asl everybody to submit to it, becaase it 13 the Will of tbe President to do 1t So much the Worse. There 13 no President above bel cailed to aecount for his acts. If G: ida Foster dare not face the responsibility for treatment Senator Conkling has recelved in thelr own state of Ohio, how mach more ne they fear to faca that responsibility 10 vor Conkling’s own state?” [Second Dispatch.
